Description

"Raw. Smart. Quick-witted. Mouthwatering. Just a few adjectives that describe this exquisite tale. Do not let this unforgettable story, or its incredible cast of characters, slip by you."—DARYNDA JONES, New York Times bestselling author

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.

The conclusion of a dystopian world where mech robots are unrecognizable from humans. Senator Angela Neko has given her life to the government, but when drones start to destroy cities and civilians, her ordered world is about to be upended. Super humans linked into the net, nanobot particles form a human countenance, net altered cat, orbiting "space" stations for refugees. Running to the only place for safety when her life is threatened, she returns to the only man she has ever loved. Betrayal of epic proportions, political machinations, HEA. Pacifists have all the best death weapons. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC from Netgalley.

I received this novel from the publishers through Netgalley for an honest and unbiased review.
Perfect Gravity was an explosive, fast paced novel that started with a sigh and ended with a boom! I had never read anything like it and that's saying something. If you are into science fiction with a flare of romance and mystery, then this one is definitely for you.
While the story was fun and enjoyable, I thought it may have been a little too fast paced. You were thrown into the action in the first few chapters and it didn't let up until the very end. Sometimes this can be a very good thing, but I felt like I dived in without a life vest. I didn't get very much build up or anything before the plot was thrown at you and it was either run or be dragged behind.
There wasn't time to get comfortable with the world the author had developed before you were being submerged. Again it isn't necessarily a bad thing, but in a world this awesome, there should be some sort of grace period. I mean a futuristic world where science is melded to humans is such a powerful concept that it deserves more back service.
On a more positive note- the characters were not only likable, but relatable. While Angela Neko is a psycho perfectionist at heart, she was raised and trained to be this way. So even her neuroses are understandable. Kellen Hockley, her match in every way that matters is just as loveable as any hot blooded Texan Cowboy, so what if his beasts are of the futuristic kind?
With a little more detail and a couple more chapters this could have been an amazing store. It just needed a little more fluffing. It still managed to be a good story, just not incredibly so.
3 out of 5 Stars
