BENEATH A TROJAN MOON was another excellent addition to the series and I've really been enjoying the diversity of planets, species, and races that Anna Hackett has been incorporating in her stories. This is truly a galaxy of many varied types and all the variations definitely add complexity to the world she's created. Relda was a great heroine who knows how to take care of herself and knows what she wants in life. Because her species was hunted, she's had to keep her powers a secret from everyone and though she thinks she's keeping everyone at arm's length, she's actually put down strong roots in Souk.
I absolutely loved Hunt, he's the exact type of hero that I seek out in books. Hunt is strong, protective and a touch dominant; this man knows he wants Relda and he's not afraid to tell her exactly what he wants to do to her. He's that perfect mix of steadfast and wild. I did feel the story was focused a lot more on Relda so we didn't get a very in-depth look at Hunt and his history but enough was covered to get the basics.
I always say I want a longer book but in this case it was more needed than wanted. Relda once revealed who she was to the man she thought loved her and he betrayed her; because of this, Relda is very cautious and believes she will never find true love with someone. With all of that background, it was a bit unexpected that Relda would reveal her secret to Hunt so easily and quickly after being with him. Because this novella was less than 100 pages there wasn't a lot of time for true trust to be built so Relda is really just going on instinct when she confides in Hunt. I wanted a longer book so that this could be more developed.
