Temporary Duty Assignment
From the author of Luminous comes a high stakes sci-fi romance
Samantha Gao is an elite Metro soldier, dedicated to the job and to her team. But following a devastating mission, Sam is handed a new temporary duty assignment. On paper, she’s supposed to babysit a Metro tech-inspector during a routine evaluation of Greenerhouse seed colony’s corporate sponsor. Sam expects to be on duty at all times, ready for whatever comes. But what she didn’t expect was to see him—Caleb—again.
Caleb Estes is an engineer at Greenerhouse and cannot believe his luck when his first love, Samantha Gao, walks into his lab—and back into his life. It’s enough to make him believe in second chances after all.
But Sam and Caleb’s reconciliation will have to wait when the routine bodyguard job goes sideways, and the future of the seed colony itself is at stake...

July 28, 2017Second chance romance.
STRONG AS EFF female lead.
Sparkly kitten shirt.
Pretty much the best dedication to a book ever.

This is a “second chance” romance on many levels ❤
The action of the piece picks up fast. A.E. uses her prose to convey the jarring disconnect of a newbie in a firefight. Her descriptions from Sam’s point of view made me wonder just how many past lives A.E. has lived as a soldier…
The little details of Temporary Duty Assignment are what really strengthen an already action-packed, emotionally charged piece.
My full review is really long! If you'd like to read more, you can find that here: https://cassandra-chandler.com/2017/0...

Can we just stop for a second and look at that gorgeous cover? That alone deserve 5 stars!
Fast-pacing action which takes your breath away. Wonderfully written characters with lots of depth (Caleb ❤ He's just drop-dead sweet!) And finally a strong loveable woman. (Usually they lack sympathy!)
Thank you, A.E. Ash!

Just wanted a touch more of the romance, but loved the world building.
