The Sable Riders #3

Stars of Gems

Illanna Merani is the wildfire volcano to Zane Sable’s icy tundra. She’s the meteoric stardust to his deep, dark, frozen depths. She’s the savage steel to his cold metal.

Ne’er, the two should meet. Until they do - and the wild connection between them goes OFF.

Cool, calm and always in control, Zane Sable is yearning for something he can’t quite articulate. Wild and bold, Illanna Merani is seeking freedom in her starbased career and love for music. Their needs, moods and personalities clash, but could they discover precious gems of true love within the stars?

Their journey to an explosive, magnetic and alchemic happily ever after becomes a metaphysical contradiction, a co-existence of two mighty opposites who become enamoured with each other while caught in a love-hate web of major tension.

Battling their feelings, their psionic reactions, sabotage and a series of mysterious forces lurking around their project, they face off against the stunning backdrop of a lunar star-lit plain. Where the much-awaited Eden II Twin Rings waits to rise, a construction of astronomic proportions that will rival anything else seen in all of Pegasi.

Together they’ll set off a meteoric tsunami of epic proportions, a kinetic explosion of attraction and sensuality that will sear the stars above into gems of incandescent light.

If you love an enemies-to-lovers HEA, science fiction and urban fantasy saga packed with spice, steam, sass and plenty of starlit adventure, get ‘Stars of Gems’ today!

About the author

I write emotionally intense paranormal romance featuring possessive alpha heroes, strong heroines, slow-burn heat, and found family.

My books deliver earned love, deep character growth, and satisfying endings—no insta-love, no cliffhanger torture.

I love writing to music, and I also look to the stars for inspiration. When not getting lost in my characters' worlds, I'm a busy soccer/basketball/dance/gymnastics mum who folds clothes (maybe, sometimes ...).

‘You like flirting with danger’ - A must read sci-fi romance!

Australian author Sky Gold continues her Sable Riders series of science fiction infused romance with STARS OF GEMS, with richly descriptive, colorful language. For those new to Sky’s world, the Sable Riders are ‘six mysterious men. They’re ghosts, wraiths, glimmers in the dark. Unseen, Yet they’re rumoured to be the galaxy’s most lethal metahumans with exponential power and reach. They’re ruthless ex-warriors who live in the Pegasi universe, where humans escaped after The Great Apocalypse…’ Zane Sable is one of these mysterious men and the novel explores his romance with the volcanic heroine Illanna Merani The author inserts bits of cogent observation in this fantasy romance that add to its luster.

With richly colorful language Sky hint at the content: ‘Cool, calm and always in control, Zane Sable is yearning for something he can’t quite articulate. Wild and bold, Illanna Merani is seeking freedom in her star-based career and love for music. Their needs, moods and personalities clash, but could they discover precious gems of true love within the stars? Their journey to an explosive, magnetic and alchemic happily ever after becomes a metaphysical contradiction, a co-existence of two mighty opposites who become enamoured with each other while caught in a love-hate web of major tension.’ And that is a mere suggestion of the fluid novel that unfolds like a starscape, delivered in informed, quite contemporary verbiage that makes the story sing - an enemies-to-lovers HEA, science fiction and urban fantasy saga. Sky Gold now successfully stands front and center on the stage of sci-fi Chick lit. Watch her rise.

4.5 stars. Only reason because I have read the previous 2 and there was repetition for me that I skimmed.
Other than that it was a great read. I loved the snarky side of Illanna and how she got under his skin. I loved the references to the East Indian heritage that I didn’t realize until the end her descendants were from. It was a fast paced book you didn’t want to put down.
The writing is so descriptive that you can visualize without any problems.
I look forward to Riv’s story.
