4.5 stars for this romantic suspense set on planet Komarr, across the galaxy.

Eketarin Vorsoisson, Vor to the core, kicks asparagus, and not only that, she's tall, brunette, and coolly reserved, until her son is threatened. Miles is crazy about this fascinating widow, but she's done with men, after ten years with Tien the Twit.
"My goodness. You've met with an accident."

"It wasn't us. It was her. The bitch from hell. Or Barrayar, which is almost the same..."

Miles's eyes widened, and his lips parted in breathless anticipation. "Remarkable. Um...how?"

All three Komarrans tried to answer him at once...by which Miles slowly pieced together the most glorious mental picture he'd had all day. All year.

I'm in love. I'm in love. I just thought I was in love before. I must, I must, I must have this woman! Mine, mine, mine.

100.0% "Eketara saved the day, earning a few bruises along the way, and Miles is reeling with love for her, but that's only the beginning, right here at the end of Komarr. On to A Civil Campaign..."

Joy My favorite quote (wording may not be exact): "He's not short. He's *concentrated*."


Kathleen Yep! A good line, Joy. I found the exact quote: "A nice young man," observed Aunt Vorthys. "A pity he's so short."

"He's not so short," said Eketarin defensively. "He's just...concentrated."

Dd Great review Kath!!:))


Kathleen Hey thanks, Dd! Fun and romantic!


Blacky *Romance Addict* Glad you're still enjoying these Kathleen :))))


Kathleen Yup! It's the oddest thing, Blacky. Never read this genre until this spring. I like space opera that's rich in character development and has some romance, at least in some books.

By the way, I like your new avatar! So cute! (but not doomy at all)
