"Exciting Continuation of a Great Space Romance Series"

Fresh Fiction Review

Chaos

Romance Science Fiction | Science Fiction Space Opera

With CHAOS, Constance Fay releases the third book in her Uncharted Hearts series. In a universe where mafia-like families are constantly feuding over territories and technology, the spaceship Calamity is a vessel for hire to scout new planets. The first book, Calamity, contains detailed world-building as the impulsive Captain, Temperance, falls in love with the son of one of the ranking Families, Arcadia Escajeda as they chart a cult-occupied planet looking for a valuable mineral.  Medic officer Micah helps bounty hunter Cyn Kwal search her home planet for Arcadia’s niece in Fiasco who has been kidnapped by a serial killer.

 

Throughout the series, it’s been clear that engineer and computer genius Caro holds a grudge against the Pierce Family. She confronts her history in CHAOS by infiltrating a prison to rescue a man being subjected to experiments and two other part-time crew members who may be in danger. She is confronted by the youthful mistakes she made and decides to risk everything to right her past wrongs. Along the way, she finds inner strength and a possible future with a cyborg super soldier with no memory.

 

Well-written characters, fun dialogue,  and a fast-paced story. All characters from prior books are prominently featured along with new characters you'll love meeting. Exciting continuation of a great series by my favorite new author. Can’t wait for the next one to come out to see the back stories of the rest of the crew.

SUMMARY

Lore Olympus meets Winter\'s Orbit in this pulse-pounding romance between a space mercenary and a super soldier whose mind-control breaks when she touches him.

He\'s a mind controlled killing machine, until her touch frees him

Engineer Caro Ogunyemi thinks she has everything in control. Sure, she has a dark secret in her past and aim so bad that she can’t shoot the side of a spaceship when she’s right in front of it, but those are minor details in the life of a space mercenary. When Caro embarks on a solo mission infiltrating a prison planet that is run by the deadly Pierce family, she embraces the opportunity to prove she’s a hero.

It\'s there that Caro meets Leviathan, a super soldier with a chip in his head that turns him into a mindless killer. He’s drop dead gorgeous with an emphasis on drop dead, until she touches him and renders his chip inert. The danger begins when she lets him go.

In the heart of enemy territory, where love is at stake, life is treacherous and time is short, Caro and Leviathan must figure out how to recover his agency, protect her crew from Pierce’s sinister machinations, and stage a prison-break before Leviathan is lost to her—and himself—forever.
