My Review:
It 's a sci-fi really intriguing, different from other books of this genre that I have read. There's action, war but also romance, family, loyalty.
While in the galaxy is still ongoing the war, Symone must try to understand her heart. She's very attracted by Nile, he's not so arrogant as she thought, he even has risked his life for her. But she still thinks of her lost love. Will she let herself go?
All of the characters are very likeable and the various love stories are very sweet and romantic.
It's the third and final book in the series, can be read as stand alone but for a more engaging reading I recommend reading the series in order to be able to see the characters grow
The plot is very original, complex, well-developed and flowes very well, is really an easy read. Excellent idea of telling the story alternating the point of view of all the female characters.
For those who love to discover other worlds and alien races this is a great read.

EXCERPT:
Chapter 8
* * * Symone * * *
I got my wish over the next few weeks. I spent a ton of time
with sweet Nile. His excuse was that I was his new apprentice in regard to
ships. He didn’t need a reason, but I was glad we had one. It made it easier
for us to pretend … for me, anyway.
Late one evening, Nile and I were in his bedroom. He shut
his computer down. Then came over and sat next to me on the sofa in his sitting
area. As he did, a pillow fell on the floor. He leaned down to pick it up, and
grazed my side on his way up. I giggled. His hazels grew mischievous.
“You’re ticklish?”
“Very.”
Nile reached over to graze my side again. I giggled more.
“Your laugh is adorable.”
I leaned back, putting my arms up in self-defense. “You
wouldn’t.”
He beamed. “Oh, yeah, I would.” He attacked, using both
hands to tickle me silly. I fell on my back, kicking, unable to defend myself.
He was so much bigger than me. I went into hysterics. I hadn’t been tickled
like this since I was a child. He pinned me down and continued to torture me.
“Nile … please … stop!” He finally did and had somehow ended
up between my legs. His mouth parted. I tried to play it off. “Why are you
looking at me like that?”
“I can’t help it. You’re so gorgeous.”
We leaned toward each other at the same time, our lips
locked. Since our first flight training, we had only shared timid, quick
kisses. But this kiss was explosive. I moaned as he entangled his hands in my
hair. Having a dress on was dangerous territory. As he lowered himself on top
of me, it rose to my hips. Nile groaned as I gripped his bottom tighter. It
only egged him on. He began to move slowly in between my legs. I gasped because
I could feel all of him moving against me. Nile glided his tongue across my
neck. I jerked as sensations flared through me. Was I really ready to cross
this line? At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before my train of thought
vanished. And I wouldn’t be able to stop. I had been intimate before. But I
wanted the next man I slept with to be the one I would marry. Fate was so
cruel. I’d been with the man I thought I would marry, only to lose him. I
didn’t think I could open my heart again so life could crush it with despair.
The realization that I could lose Nile made my chest
tighten. I froze. He pulled back.
“Symone, what’s wrong?”
I could only imagine the expression of horror on my face. I
bit my lip. We both sat up as I pulled my dress down.
“I’m sorry if I moved too fast.”
“No, it’s not that.”
He rubbed my cheek and forced me to look at him. “Tell me,
please?”
“It’s just that…” I broke from his grasp and shook my head.
How did I tell him I seemed to lose everyone I cared about? I was cursed,
because my loved ones were hurt or killed when they were with me.
Nile sighed. “Is this about your ex-suitor, your feelings
toward him?”
“It’s about him in a sense.”
“What does that mean?” He balled his hands into fists.
“I will always care about him.”
Nile’s nostrils flared and he turned away. “Why did you kiss
me back the first time? Why do you continue to spend time with me?”
