Perfect Gravity Spotlight + Giveaway

Second in a snarky, sexy sci-fi romance series with the perfect balance of humor, heart, and heat.

Kellen Hockley usually keeps quiet about his past, but once upon a time he loved a girl named Angela. He hasn't seen her in a decade, but now he has to break the news to her that his team of rogue treasure hunters accidentally killed her husband. He's had better days...

It's not the news that's delivered to Angela Neko that breaks her apart—it's the rumbly, Texas drawl delivering it. She can't believe she's hearing Kellen's voice again. But there's no time for distractions. When Angela's own life is threatened, yielding up all of her lies and secrets, she and Kellen must figure out how to reverse the geopolitical firestorm she lit to save the world, to save Kellen's cat...and just maybe to save each other.


VIVIEN JACKSON is still waiting for her Hogwarts letter. In the meantime, she writes, mostly fantastical or futuristic or kissing-related stories. When she isn’t writing, she’s performing a sacred duty nurturing the next generation of Whovian Browncoat Sindarin Jedi gamers, and their little dogs too. With her similarly geeky partner, she lives in Austin, Texas, and watches a lot of football.

Action-packed, page turner that has Angela questioning everything she has worked for since she was a young woman. She sacrificed so much for a government that she believed in that has seemingly betrayed her. With Kellen's help she will get to the truth.  It is easy to get immersed in the post apocalyptic world and get behind Angela and Kellen.  The secondary characters add so much to the story. Hope there is a follow-up to this book.

Book one in a new sci-fi romance series. Mari is a kick-butt mercenary,  Heron, is a post-human and her partner.  Their last job is a set-up and they need to figure out who, what, where and why.  A good start to a new series that surprised me at how much I enjoyed the characters and story.

The Operator (audio)

Peri Reed’s job eats her mind, but for a special task agent in hiding, forgetting the past can be a blessing.

Betrayed by the man she thought she loved and the agency who turned her into the very thing she fought against, Peri abandoned the wealth and privilege of Opti for anonymity riddled with memory gaps and self-doubt. But when a highly addictive drug promises to end her dependency on those who’d use her as a tool for their own success, she must choose to remain broken and vulnerable, or return to the above-the-law power and prestige she once left: strong but without will—for whoever holds her next fix, will hold her loyalty.

Yet even now as then, a love based on lies of omission might still save her life

This is the second book in the Peri Reed Chronicles and is best read after the first book The Drafter. It picks up shortly after the first book. Perri is in hiding from Opti. She is tired of being used, manipulated, and having her memory wiped. They find her and she has to either join them or figure out a way to be free of them. Unfortunately, OPI is not the only organization that wants her for her abilities. This introduces a few new characters that really added to the action, suspense and roller coaster ride of this book.  It is easy to get on Peri's side and along with her, wonder who can be trusted.  I felt the story was a bit repetitive, but it didn't distract from the overall enjoyment of it.  I look forward to the final book that will hopefully get Peri where she wants to be.
January LaVoy did a great job with the character voices, the crazy twists and turns the story takes and especially Peri's desire for freedom.
