Synopsis (Goodreads):
Telepathic skills define the Harmonic people and without the gift of telepathy, Cidra will remain an outsider forever. She must discover the secret that will allow her mind to commune with others.Thoughts on Sweet Starfire: I was absolutely convinced I had read this book prior to starting it, but now that I've finished I'm kinda thinking I hadn't? I think maybe it was the Harmonic stuff. Because I've read all the JC Harmony books and just had it in my head that the JAK Harmonics were part of that world? They're not. In fact I'm just talking myself through this now because I still can't figure out why I thought I'd read this one when I hadn't.
Teague Severance is the ultimate delivery man...he will deliver anything if the price is right. Mysterious, tough and dangerously sexy, Teague is trouble in more ways than one but he has an honorable reputation for fulfilling a contract.
Cidra approaches Teague with a business proposition…transport her safely to the rough outback of the Stanza Nine system. With a ship designed for cargo, not passengers, Teague reluctantly agrees to the job. Certain it won't be a problem because Cidra isn't his type, he soon discovers that he is wrong. The passion that flares between them puts both of their lives in jeopardy.
Anywho. We have a (seemingly) peaceful woman who is desperate to figure out a way to obtain the telepathic gifts her parents (and other others on her world) have so she can finally feel like she's found her place. Cidra's quest lands her in the vicinity of Teague Severance and, well, things don't really go as either of them thought they would.
On Teague's end, he can't in good conscience leave the innocent almost-Harmonic behind when the possibility is high she'll end up with an unscrupulous person as her guide on her misguided quest. So he takes her with him, figuring a few weeks with him in close quarters will cure her of her desire for adventure. Joke's on him, though, because Cidra might be unworldly, but she's smart and determined and she kind of impresses him at every turn. She's also unflinchingly loyal and Teague really needs someone who refuses to back down when things get tough at his back.
A dangerous world, critters who would attack in a heartbeat, some not-so-great guys who plot some very bad things for our couple, a wild trek through the jungle, a man who thinks he knows what he wants (but maybe doesn't), and a woman who is absolutely not going to get involved in a relationship with the captain (until she does). GOOD STUFF.
