Finders Keepers, by Linnea Sinclair is another scifi/romance. It’s an action/adventure story with plenty of romance, but in a futuristic space setting.
Captain Elliot and her C-3PO-type droid, named Dezi, find a marooned and unconscious man on a desolate planet. But the rescued man, Rhis, isn’t who he claims to be. And Captain Elliot soon finds herself in the middle of conspiracy and treachery. Elliot seems to trust Rhis even though he has lied to her, simply because she’s attracted to him.
The technical jargon is a bit much, as are Sinclair’s made up words and language. This book might have been easier to read (and not as corny), if she had toned down the bizarre language with so many “z’s†and “v’s.â€Â
On the other hand, her descriptives regarding appearances were seriously lacking. There was an alien species, but I have no idea what they looked like. And no one else, other than the two main characters, was described in any detail either.
Besides my criticisms, there was a good story underneath, though the ending seemed a bit abrupt. As I won this in a giveaway (and know that I won’t be reading this again), I’ll be passing it along to Bookfool. I hope to hear what you think as well.
sounds like a romance to me. a romance dressed as SIFI. lots of romance books are like that, little detail about other characters unless it’s the main ones.
I know you said it was a romance but the way you talked about it made it seem like a bodice ripper dressed in alien
There’s actually only one sex scene, that I can recall. It’s actually hard scifi with the two main characters looking lustfully at each other. lol
I loved Finder’s Keepers! I read it about 4 times when i first got it. Her other books have been great and I’m looking forward to her new book ‘Games of Command’
