Taking Liberty
Rini Campbell’s one shot at keeping her field agent position with the United Galaxies’ repo department means bringing in the spaceship Liberty. Piece of cake. Too bad she didn’t count on the pilot still being on board. Or being buck naked.
Lucus Granger doesn’t have time to deal with a pain-in-the-ass repo agent. Not when he’s minutes away from dropping off a cargo haul for the psychotic alien dictator of Aquatica. Though he figures it’s just about the stupidest bargain he’s ever made, he allows Rini to tag along for the flight.
Big mistake.
Stranded in enemy territory, they’re fighting two seemingly insurmountable battles—getting out alive and resisting their fiery attraction to each other. For these two stubborn hearts, love could bloom in the desert...if it doesn’t kill them first.

About the author
Jodi Redford
53 books324 followersAt the ripe age of seven, I penned my first epic, complete with stick figure illustrations. Sadly, my drawing skills haven't improved much, but my love of creating fantasy worlds is still going strong.
Yep, I still love writing about fairies, ghosts, and other supernatural creatures, only my stories pack a little more heat these days.
I currently reside in Michigan with my husband and overgrown lapdog. I'm a member of Romance Writers of America and Greater Detroit Romance Writers of America.
When I'm not writing or working the day job, I'm usually tinkering in the garden (weather permitting) or drooling over those smokin' hot Winchester Brothers from Supernatural. Strictly for research purposes, of course.

Jodi Redford scares me. Seriously. When I read her books I sometimes wonder if she doesn't sneak into my room in the middle of the night and attach a complicated tangle of wires to my forehead to suck out all the things that I like so that she can incorporate them into her books. You guys might think I'm joking BUT I'M NOT! It's like she has a direct line to all the things that make me tingly. Sexy sci-fi, tentacled aliens, BEING STRANDED ON A BARREN PLANET AND FORCED TO GET NAKED WITH A HOT PILOT! I'd tell her to stay out of my head but I like what she writes too damn much to deny myself.
Anyway. One thing that doesn't scare me about Jodi is her ability to write really fun characters. Rini, for example, is a hoot. She's strong-willed, skilled, and she just might be the tiniest bit OCD about her antibacterial wipes. How can you resist a girl who carries a virtual medical kit in her pockets "just in case"? You can't. She casts her antibacterial magic on you and is irresistible. Then there's Lucus, with his 9 inch... err, I mean, with his slightly battered outlook on relationships and his self-depreciating humor.
Did I mention the tentacled aliens yet? Because PLEASURE VALVE! Lol! Oh, man. That just cracks me up beyond belief.
Funny and sexy with a side order of never-boring, Jodi Redford might have frightening mind reading abilities but she writes a damn good book.

"It's been proven that the males of our species have bigger brains."
"Too bad the same can't be said for your pleasure valve."

Loved it! I immediately liked the characters and the plot.
The "feel" of this story was just like Firefly to me but without the Cowboy theme. It's witty, charming, rakish. It was sexy without a lot of sex, though the sex was not behind closed doors and was tastefully done. Plus, it fit the plot and characters. There was only one spot in which I worried that the hero had crossed the line, for me, but he redeemed himself a few pages later
There's romance, sexual tension, humor, tech, realistic SF, wit, a strong heroine and a caring hero. The build up for the romance is steady and good. This story is fun and pretty light-hearted despite dire circumstances. In a few places it edged the borderline of trying a little too hard to be funny, but never crossed the line to me.
I loved the story enough that it's a keeper for me. I will definitely reread it, recommend it, and buy more stories in this universe or from this author.

good, I'd recommend especially at a low kindle price. will look for more from this universe from the author. getting addicted to this futuristic romance stuff, notable given they're not very strong in the romance department.

Let me just say this: if Jodi writes it, I want to read it. Sexy sci-fi isn't usually my thing, but damn if I didn't enjoy the heck out of Taking Liberty. A fun romp in the spaceship, and perfect for the Doin It Dirty read-a-thon.
