Synopsis (Goodreads):
She’s the one who got away. Now she’s uncharted territory…Thoughts on Solar Storm: Okay, I'm a sucker for second chance romances. Kelwin was all focused determination and sexy smolder while Rhys/Nerys was determined to have the wedding night she never got the first time around. That part probably would have gone better if she'd told him who she was on the outset, but live and learn. Right, Rhys?
Ten years after rich-girl life fell apart, Rhys Devin is a changed woman—her name, her face, and her attitude. Now the fast-talking, hard-as-nails captain of the Grey Lady sails the most dangerous solar roads in the universe. Times are tough, but she gets the job done, sailing alone. Always watching over her shoulder.
The last thing she needs is a delay, but when she runs across a stranded sailor, she has no choice. The law of the road demands she rescue him.
Kelwin Sayeed is a soldier without a war. The retired War Commander’s latest and most ambitious hobby, the solar flyer Artemis, was supposed to prove him worthy of the famously reclusive Solar Sailors. Instead a catastrophic computer failure has him at the mercy of the most hazardous road of all; Icaria.
Confident he won’t be left to die in the golden spray, he waits for another sailor to come along. One that’s born and bred to the roads, with skin wizened like beaten gold. What he gets is a woman whose voice does things to his body that should be illegal. Whose golden-tinted skin sparks erotic fantasies.
The bride who ran from him a decade ago…
**Contains a self re-invented woman with a low tolerance for bullshit and a tendency to snark, a hot former soldier with a brutal approach to protecting what’s his, and a solar-kissed romance that spans years.**
Anywho. I'm not normally a big fan of assumptions and misunderstandings tearing a couple apart, but given Rhys's upbringing and her young age when everything went down, I can understand this one. Plus, her dad was kinda a pro at manipulating people, so a sheltered young woman wouldn't have much of a chance of standing up against him. Still, she managed to get away, even if she didn't get the dream husband she thought she was getting. On the other hand, living your life on the run and always watching your back gets old after a while.
A neat world, a dangerous calling, and a couple who are meant to cross paths no matter what or who tries to keep them apart. I liked it.
