Not being new to this author, but I had never given reviews of her books before. I was pleasantly surprised reading the book. I didn’t read the other parts of her Space Cowboy series, so all was new to me. I liked it a lot, I must say. It was a hot, spicy romantic story where the hero and heroine slowly explored their mutual attraction, but the action wasn’t slow at all. It was written in a very compelling style, in which the environment, the attraction between the two people involved and their competitiveness showed. I loved the easiness, playfulness and the oh la la sexiness of Antonio Curzon, who had his own demons to fight and the fight of Izzy to maintain aloof like nothing can bother her, but in the meantime is she a passionate bombshell when she is with Antonio. It was very interesting indeed to read about their competition to be in the astronauts program, all in order to be in the first mission to Mars. What I loved was that Antonio admitted that with Izzy he was better than without her. They pushed each other to the limits with an honesty that was mindbaffling.
What is it all about: Izzy and Antonio are both competing to be a part of the CRONUS mission and more than that they want to be named to a crew that they will know will be going to space. That first mission is very important to them because despite all of their training not all astronauts make it to a final mission to space.
