My Thoughts
Ophelia thinks that she's on her way to be married off to the prince when she's actually been kidnapped by his half brother, Boone who just happens to be the guy she just had a steamy overnighter with. Boone has kidnapped her in order to stop the wedding so that he can try to overthrow his brother for the throne once their father passes. Ophelia has walked into this blindly. Well almost blindly as her cards have hinted that she may find her happily ever after once all is said and done. She ends up joining Boone in the fight against his brother and in the process they stop fighting their feelings for each other.
I loved Boone and Ophelia together. Even with all the resistance to their feelings, their chemistry was undeniable. Katee Robert sure can write some steamy scenes. I just love her. I did want to know more about what happened to Ophelia's crew and what caused her family to go into hiding. I would love to read the story of how her mom and dad got together.

About the Book
When the cards tell Ophelia Leoni she's supposed to marry
the Prince of Hansarda, the gunrunner grits her teeth and boards the starship
that comes for her. It doesn't matter if the ship's commander is the gorgeous
stranger she just spent a wild, drunken night with. As a Diviner, she’s
painfully aware the cards don't lie. Ever.
Boone O’Keirna knows Ophelia is trouble the second he sees
the way she moves. Not about to let the little hellcat marry his sadistic
half-brother, Boone pretends to be the Prince’s emissary and kidnaps Ophelia.
Too bad they can’t be in the same room without him wanting to throw her out an
airlock–or into bed.
Even as they fight each other–and their explosive
attraction–Ophelia and Boone sense something is wrong. Too much is going their
way. Soon, they realize while the cards may never lie, the truth is sometimes
hidden between them...and the future king of Hansarda is not one to take defeat
lying down.
About the Author
Katee Robert learned to tell stories at her grandpa's knee.
Her favorites then were the rather epic adventures of The Three Bears, but at
age twelve she discovered romance novels and never looked back.
Though she dabbled in writing, life got in the way--as it
often does--and she spent a few years traveling, living in both Philadelphia
and Germany. In between traveling and raising her two wee ones, she had the
crazy idea that she'd like to write a book and try to get published.
Her first novel was an epic fantasy that, God willing, will
never see the light of day. From there, she dabbled in YA and horror, before
finally finding speculative romance. Because, really, who wouldn't want to
write entire books about the smoking-hot relationships between two people?
She now spends her time--when not lost in Far Reach worlds--playing
imaginary games with her wee ones, writing, ogling men, and planning for the
inevitable zombie apocalypse.
