Less than 10% of THESE BROKEN STARS takes place on the Icarus spaceship, the majority occurs after it crashes into a deserted planet leaving rich Lilac stranded with soldier Tarver. As these two are forced to survive together on a dangerous, uninhabited planet, a tender romance blossoms. There is no insta-love, but rather respect born from mutual reliance and sacrifice, and eventually a deeply bonded love.
The strange phenomenon they encounter and the mystery of why the planet was abandoned is equally as exciting as the romance. It was unpredictable and full of twists that made the ultimate revelation all the more rewarding. And while this is a SF book, those elements are very light so even SF phobic readers will be transported by this romantic survival story. I can't wait for the next book in the Starbound trilogy which takes place 6 months after this book and will feature a new couple.
