I enjoyed this sci-fi romance about a female airline pilot caught up in a galactic game of espionage and traitors. Good characters and enough suspense to keep me reading late at night.

I don't even care that I knew who the villain was from the first, the story was handled beautifully.

Science Fiction Romance happens to be one of my favorite sub genres of romance, along with historical, historical paranormal and time travel. Heck, I love most romance subgenres :)
But finding well written non erotic titles in this sub genre is not easy. Now don't get me wrong, I don't mind reading some fluffy erotic earthling kidnap story once in a while, but often its all sex and no story. Just like I sometimes want fluffy historicals and other times more deeper and more researched ones, I want to read SF romance with world building and plot.
And I hit the jackpot with this title. It has many of my catnips. :). I prefer the kind of SFR where Earth is either still there, or like earthlings having had to leave or such things. Like colonization of other planets. I guess I just prefer some connection still with humans.
Several things worked for me in Contact. Heroine is not of the wimpy kind, she is capable. She is a commercial airline pilot and shows humanity and willingness to look beyond the surface. Hero is also a wonderful character. Hard life, so seems cold and and closed off.
I loved the world building and the images it created in my mind. There are many other characters that are just as vivid as the main ones creating a full experience.
I enjoyed the heck out of this one and I am sure I will have a let down now with not finding many more like this. And yes, romance readers want world building and plot and story and characters and emotions. I want it all and thank you to this author for creating all that in a Science Fiction Romance. :)
First of this author I read and now I will go through her back list.

This was a wonderful scifi thriller with a strong female lead which got derailed by a romance plot and the male Romance Object. Sad.
