My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Vakutan warrior Gurtal was sidelined by his general father to work as a bodyguard for a scientist. Then friend Vera asks him to go on an urgent mission to rescue the beautiful companion Xana from a prison planet. There's no real choice and he immediately agrees. Going undercover, sneaking in to grab her, and then falling for her instantly - then he hits a major complication - she doesn't want to leave. However, he really needs to get out quickly before the Alliance and his father both found out where he is but there are some nasty bad guys who seem hell-bent on stopping him from leaving. So he has no choice but to become the hero he was always meant to be!
This was a fun read that definitely had Gurtal come into his own and reach his true level of ability as he found, fought for and battled to save Xana. I loved the way she was a calm influence in their relationship and it was enlightening to imagine that a companion was not just a high-class prostitute but someone well educated, well rounded and eminently sensible. I loved the relationship between them and the fact that they got the result that they needed. Easy to read and understand. Contains explicit sexual content.
