About the author

Mary commutes between her dream home near the Mark Twain national forest in Missouri and her current residence in Iowa. She lives with a menagerie of animals including an opinionated horse and a cat who was a dog in past life. When not writing spicy tales of erotic romance, she enjoys writing science fiction and fantasy, spending time with her horse, and enjoying the outdoors. Lucky for her, her partner (hero) shares these same passions, and usually both of them can be found in their respective dens writing.

And it’s not far from the truth. Mary began writing in high school after she discovered Silhouette Desire romance novels and realized that she wanted to be the one to write stories that carried readers away from their oh-so-boring lives. She has a deep appreciation and love of the natural, the spirtual, and the metaphysical, which has led to her running Jupiter Gardens and writing for new age and pagan magazines. She is attuned to Reiki II and reads tarot cards.

Right now her household includes six cats, ranging in age from less than six months (Tenzin, former feral kitten) to seventeen years (Tigger, diabetic kitty), her horse, two parrots, a finch flight, a geriatric parakeet flight, and her partner, the hero of her own personal romance story.

Her favorite television shows are Torchwood, Bones, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Dr. Who (new), Battlestar Galactica (new), Babylon 5, Farscape, and Sex in the City. Her favorite movies are Spaceballs, The Cutting Edge, Serenity, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, the LoTR trilogy, and probably a few others she’s forgetting. Her musical tastes range from Enya, Clannad, David Arkenstone, David & Steve Gordon, Scott McDonald, and AfroCelt Sound System to Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, and others.

This sci-fi romance was cleanly written with very few wrong word choices or typos. The cover design is gorgeous and what made me pick up this romance. However, I had a difficult time connecting with the characters or plot. I did not develop any emotional connection with either the hero or heroine. This novel is largely in the POV of the heroine, with very little if any time in the hero's head, so that could be one of the problems I had connecting with this novel. I tend to prefer dual POV novels. I did not really connect with the heroine's cause of the rebellion or feel anger toward the totalitarian government she was rebelling against. I need to confess that I did not finish this novel, stopping at 50%. I would not buy a keeper copy of this novel for myself, and I do not think I will read any further novels by this author because this novel did not evoke any strong emotions in me. It may be that this authorial voice just is not for me.

I've read several books written by Mary Winter; she has done a great job at writing a good book; she is becoming one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of books her books.

The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

I loved the chemistry between the characters.

The writing draws you in and keeps you involved throughout the whole story, I found myself in love with not only the characters but also the world that was created.

The descriptions of the characters and their feelings are so involved, you can truly picture it in your mind. Their attitudes toward the events that are happening makes the story even richer.

A well-written story set in space with good characters. She's not happy because of the cargo she's carrying for the resistance and he wants left alone. The story keeps your interest with suspense, danger, adventure, romance and steamy scenes. The chemistry was really good between them. I recommend you read if you like space stories.

Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. Cadan goes to a place to be left alone, until a beautiful female crashes on the planet. Marassa Freelancers had problems where she crashes onto a planet with weapons for the Rebellion. It is hot and steamy.
