Book 2 of 2: Women of Earth

See all formats and editions

Always feeling overshadowed by her pretty and outgoing sister, quiet and self-effacing Wynne Donazetto's dreams of college and building a life of her own were lost when Earth was invaded by two warring alien forces. Earth changed, but Wynne didn't.
Seven years later, Wynne is still living in her sister's shadow. She's comfortable there... until her life explodes along with the starliner she's travelling on and she ends up in the arms of a sexy space-aged smuggler called Tor.
Tor's life revolves around his ship and his crew and both have been taken from him. He'll do whatever it takes to get them back, even if it means sacrificing himself. Meeting the woman of his dreams is a complication he doesn't need.
Together with Tor and his eclectic alien crew, Wynne sets off on the adventure of a lifetime to retrieve a stolen spaceship and its cargo of kidnapped Women of Earth. Along the way, she'll discover a strength she never knew she had and a love that will change her life forever.

Another great story by a talented author!

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I have to say I was so excited to read the sequel to Mrs. Rhoades first sci-fi series of books. I was not dissapointed. I love all of her books and this one was no different. Her characters are always delightful to read and you find yourself wanting to hang out with them on a daily basis. Wynne and Tor are perfect together. Tor's band of merry men and women (yes I think of them as an intergalactic band of Robin Hood type characters lol) are all another wonderfuly delightful group of characters that made the story entertaining and exciting to read. It was a pleasure to watch Wynne grow in her confidence and independence throughout the book without losing what makes her such a heartfelt character. I love that a beloved character from book one was with Wynne throughout this one. I highly recommend this book and while you can read it without having read the first book Roark, why would you want to? Read them both and enjoy!!

In the second entry to her Women of Earth series, Jacqueline Rhoades launches into the stars with a Firefly-esque story of survival and revenge. Tor is the Godan smuggler who snatches Wynne off a bridal market transport that has been attacked by space pirates. Oddly, though, he acts more like a savior than a crook, and with her connection to a powerful Godan family and a strong sense of righteousness, Wynne is nobody's biddable market bride.

Though entertaining, this book suffered from a lack of originality. Tor is the ex-solider smuggler with a heart of gold. Wynne is the hapless maiden who captures his heart. The plot is multi-pronged, with Tor trying to reconnect with his scattered crew and reclaim his stolen ship while simultaneously trying to get Wynne back to her family and find the missing brides. As George Lucas and Joss Whedon have taught us, the best rogue starships are crewed by a bunch of misfits. Rhoades has penned her own memorable crew, albeit they don't exactly have a ship for most of the book. Truca, Ish, Poly, Nix and Chubo are fully realized characters with backstories. Ish and Poly, in particular, provide comedic relief. Mohawk provides the off-color commentary. Truca is their rallying point. All together, they are a delight despite being so typecast.

I ranked this book 3.5 stars, rounded to 4. Where this book falters a little is in the need for a copy editor, the utter predictability of hero Tor, and the disjointed plot transitions. Tor was fine; he just wasn't memorable. However, I loved that he admired from afar Wynne's quiet and sincere ways before he even knew who she was.

There is a lot of travel in this book. We go from fated bride ship to escape pods to scary-creature planet to shady spaceport to rickety, stolen ship to Imperial City and beyond. There is a ton of action and adventure. Often, however, the planning for the next attack or escape or incursion happened off-page, which meant as a reader I felt lost several times as action got underway.

As a character, I thought Wynne was more interesting than Tor. She is peace-loving, insightful, loyal, nurturing and fiercely stubborn. She is also a spiritual person whose religious faith suffered as deprivation and death invaded her life. Although Rhoades never delves deeply into a specific religious belief system, I couldn't let go of the thought that Wynne embodied the transformation of the inner person popularized as the eight beatitudes delivered by Jesus during the Sermon on the Mount. Wynne blooms as she lets loose of others' expectations for her and embraces a life still consistent with sound spirituality and sense of honor. Don't confuse a nurturing nature, quietness and a discomfort with physical brutality with weakness or submissiveness. Wynne is a warrior in her own way.

Tor by Jacqueline Rhoades

This is book 2 in the series Women of Earth and it is just as good as book 1, Roark. Frankly I haven't read any books written by Ms. Rhodes that haven't been phenomenal. She has several out there and I recommend you read all of them.
Getting back to Tor though. Although it is book 2, I don't feel as if you need to read book 1 first. This one is a standalone novel but I think they enhance each other especially in the world building and character development. I'm glad I read them in order myself.
I love paranormal romance and I find that there aren't many quality sci fi romance books available. Jackie writes the best. She's on my favorites list and I even preorder now that I know I can trust her writing style. There is something very satisfying about her books. I appreciate the balance of romance and sensuality, action and adventure, length and overall flow and timing. It all works for me. I don't like cheating or cliffhangers and I want a happy ending, at least between the main characters. Jacqueline gives me that every time.
In this book we meet Tor and Wynne. Additionally we meet some great secondary characters who make this story work. I think the blurb was sufficient so I won't retell the story. I hope she continues with another book soon.
I very rarely rate a book a 5 star. I don't usually read the 5 star reviews because I suspect that the reader exaggerates and so I dismiss their opinions. However, I like her books that much, so here I am in the 5 star group. Trust me on this author.

This was a good book with great characters but, unfortunately, it dragged in some spots and I had to force myself to keep reading to get through them. The characters made that worthwhile, though. They were a compelling bunch. This installment of the Women of Earth series was not as good as the first but, with the good writing and great characters, I will definitely read the next book.

A to die for book.... Again Jacqueline Rhoades, you have an AWE-INSPIRING ability to captivate and intrigue. I loved Roark and I love this book. It contains love, anger, betrayal, trust and all the other emotions. I cried, laughed, got angry with the characters that you have developed in this story . Mohawk is again a wonder of wonders with his bad attitude, cryptic way of talking and he still makes me laugh. This story sucks you in right from the beginning and continues to capture the imagination of the reader. I can't recommend this book and the first enough. I can't wait for the next books release, who will it be? Where will it take me? One of the funniest scenes in right near the beginning with Wynne and Tor on the asteroid right along with Mohawk. I was laughing so hard that I had to stop and put it down to get control of the tears and get control of myself to be able to continue. Kudos my friend on a fine read and to more too come.

As with the first book, I really enjoyed it! Yes there was an issue with either its length or the amount of dialogue in it , either making it feel a bit long at times. But its a great story! He's fabulous and she's a treasure. There's a great cast supporting them and if there was less talking and more narrative instead it would have been perfect.
