Simply the best
This is a 3-pack of stories by the indomitable Susan Grant. I just want to say, I could subsist on Susan Grant novels alone!
Once a Pirate
This novel stars a female fighter pilot who, as her plane crashes, travels back in time, and is captured by a handsome pirate and his crew. I loved how this story built the romance so incrementally (no wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am here), with a solid base of mutual respect and trust (eventually, initially the amount of distrust was epic). Such a magical story.
Contact
This novel has won, count them, twelve awards, and it’s deserving of every one of them. Such an amazing cast of characters, and you doubt and question and love right along with the main character, Jordan. It’s so heart wrenching, the way they both she and her daughter both never give up and mourn the lost of each other. And the romance between Jordan and Kao is something you just can’t help but root for, against all odds.
The Legend of Banzai Maguire
So much goodness! The last novel in this is the first in the 2176 duet. It stars Banzai Maguire, who gets cryofrozen for 160 years, only to be reawakened to a very different world. Such a complex novel; you never really know which side to root for, or which guy she should be with. The final escape scene is so tense and dramatic, and it sets up the next novel, The Scarlet Empress, so well... I just have to get my hands on that book to see how it all ends!
Ten out of ten, would DEFINITELY recommend.
