Jemma is a girl out of time, bought forward into the future she feels abandoned and alone, that is until Raven. He makes her burn like no other but will the need to prove herself jeopardize everything?
This book had me hooked from the beginning. You see a woman with a wicked temper that hides it all.
I really relate to the way she hides behind a brave face, but is really very insecure. She needs to prove that she is worth something, even at the cost of her own life. Her insecurities are deep rooted in her past and in order to claim her, Raven must deal with these and many other difficulties in even getting the relationship started. Jemma is a character that I think we can all relate to, believing that she will be cast aside as soon as something better comes up.
This story has it all. Space battles and laser fights, scorching hot romance, and an enemy determined to bring down Captain McCord and his crew, especially if it means killing them all! I was surprised to find out the true identity of Chowd and I hope his past is explored further on in the series.
The passion and romance between Raven and Jemma is real, and the chemistry hot! Steamy scenes and sweet love abound in this third novel of the Warriors of the Elector series.

This book is an excellent addition to the series. It is well written and the characters and story were both well developed. I enjoyed getting to know the two characters in question more and enjoyed their individual personalities and relationship dynamics. The story was action packed and full of twists and turns. It had suspense, intrigue, emotion, hot chemistry and romance. I’d highly recommend this book and look forward to the future books in the series!!
I received an arc for a voluntary review.

So I really liked Starline, but I must say I flippin LOVED Starfire. I was shocked that this book was going to be about Jemma. Jemma acted a little immature towards the end of the first book, and I wasn't thrilled this particular book centered around her because I was a little miffed at the character. The premise of the story fascinatied me so I decided to just read the first chapter. Four hours later I am looking at the Epilogue wondering what happened to my initial attitude, and wondering why Jemma is now one of my favorite characters!!
Insight to why a character is the way they are is really everything. Jemma was an orphaned
girl from our time, but she carried mountains of pain around with her, which drastically altered who she really was. The carefree, careless front she projected was exactly that, a front. The real Jemma is afraid of being hurt and rejected so she pushes everyone away. She is uprooted from her place on our planet completely against her will and plopped into the Academy on another world in a different time. Unlike Mellissa, Jemma is completely opposed to this change. She hates the fact that all of her Independence has been stripped from her and that she must start all over again. In this new world she has nothing and is nothing. She makes plans to leave the academy and start over somewhere new when an opportunity literally falls right into her lap. One of the professors has offered her a very coveted spot to train to be a fighter pilot. Could this be her path to finally finding her niche in this new world?
Raven has wanted Jemma since the moment she set foot in his life kicking and screaming ...literally. But Raven's feelings run much deeper than a few nights in the sheets. He wants a real relationship with Jemma, but she refuses to give them a chance. How can he convince her of his true feelings without losing her forever?
Raven and Jemma are thrown together repeatedly on the Elector (the last place Jemma wants to be) and his pursuit of her begins in earnest. But what Raven unearths about Jem shocks and humbles him. Will he be able to take down the barriers around her heart and keep them down forever? This book has a little of everything...bad guys, evil/good, conflict, sex, time-travel, new planets, the works!! I am hoping the next book is going to be about Chowd. I love Jemma but Chowd is my favorite male character. A lot of surprises about this guy came out in this book. I can't wait for the next installment!! The was an excellent read!!!

Jemma comes aboard and the passion between her and Raven is hot but why won't she go in a relationship with him or will she?
As always packed with action and hot and sexy.
She has so many things happen will they or won't they
