Y’all, this book. THIS BOOK. I started it at around 8pm one evening and that was a damn mistake because the next thing I knew it was 1am and I had tears in my eyes. This was one of my most anticipated July reads and hooooo boy did it live up to, nay, exceed my…
This is the first in Robyn Bachar’s new Galactic Cold War series of science-fiction romances, and when I saw it touted as ‘Firefly meets James Bond’ I couldn’t resist! Set in a future in which the Cold War never ended, the story features the crew of the privateer ship Mombasa as it operates on the…

While the different books do not seem to overlap in terms of characters, the stories revolve around a theme, like letting go of the past. I originally picked it up because I haven’t seen too many…
