I've been reading mostly contemporary and historical romance titles, but I received an ARC of Polaris Rising from the publisher and my Star Wars loving heart immediately was drawn to read it as I haven't seen many Space Opera Romances on the shelf.

While I found the hero, Marcus Loch, to be a bit one-dimensional, my love for Ada von Hasenberg, Space "princess," kick-ass pilot, and political schemer more than made up for it. The world-building reminded me a bit of Dune, with the competing houses, the special (and secret) mineral, etc.

Also, I'm so here for a Space Opera with more explicit (and consensual) sex scenes. Huzzah!

I'll complete a better review closer to the publication date, but you'll definitely want to add Polaris Rising to your TBR pile straightaway.
