Oh yeah, a space-opera and romance, with political intrigue. I've been wondering/looking for a book that mixed elements of science fiction and elements of romance, and this delivered.

Ada is a kick-ass heroine. Marcus is scary, but thankfully not to the point where I gave up on the book. I appreciate that Mihalik draws you into Marcus by providing mystery regarding his background.

I look forward to the other books in the series, and I'm curious how the larger story will play out.
