for my own personal reading and sharing my honest and unscripted review.
Blurb for THE SPACE CAPTAIN’S COURTESAN:
Mya is
having a crap day.
Princess Mya Centauri is stranded and alone on the shady Bates Space Station. With rumors of her father's dethronement escalating, she needs more than her wits and entitlement to protect her--she needs a hero. So when she unexpectedly finds herself mistaken for some whore by Centauri's most notorious assassin, and at one time her father's most trusted man, she decides things can only get worse.
Jax is having a crap decade.
Framed for a crime he didn't commit, Captain Jax Rouss, an ex-Royal Guard, is now an escaped prisoner with a price on his head. Embittered after years of trying to clear his name, Jax wants nothing to do with the family he once swore to protect. So when he wakes up to find that the sweet, smelling patron-pleaser he's purchased is not only lovely, but already in his bed, he decides things can only get better.
But with lives at stake and kingdoms in jeopardy, Mya will do anything to convince the one man who hates the Royal family above all else to become her hero, even if it means being the one thing he can't resist...The Space Captain's Courtesan.

Princess
Mya was sent away from her home on Centauri for her own safety, only now alone
after her aunt died, she’s stranded on the Bates Space Station and trying
desperately to fend for herself and earn enough credits to get passage home.
Thievery is not beneath her at this point and the best victims are those who
will cause the least trouble…the ones recovering from stasis. Having managed to
enter her latest victim’s room, she finds he’s not only not completely unconscious but expecting a patron-pleaser…or courtesan. When it becomes apparent he's not going to let her leave
until he gets what he paid for, she has no choice but to knock him out. Before he's completely out, he makes sure she can't leave, and to make things worse, she knows him…he’s the
Royal Guard on whom she’s had a crush for years and the man accused of trying
to kill her father.
Captain
Jax just wants to recover from stasis and be on his way again. Having pre-paid
for a patron-pleaser seemed like a good idea at the time, and the one sent to
his room is more than he’d hoped for except she wants to leave and he’s not
ready for what she came there to offer. After snapping current cuffs on her and
attaching them to himself, he passes out only later to find himself dragged
aboard his ship. Then she asks him to fly her to Centauri, the last place in space he
ever planned to go again after having been framed for an attempted assassination of
the King he vowed to protect. When he discovers the truth of her identity, his
determination to stay as far away from her and her family pulls him in closer
until his heart and his honor won’t allow him to escape.
THE SPACE
CAPTAIN’S COURTESAN by KC Klein is an action adventure through space, visits to
places less than desirable for vacations or even brief stops, and intrigue that will keep you
turning the pages and hoping things work out the way you hope. KC is wonderful
at conjuring up characters that pull you in, make you wish them to be your friends, and desire only happiness for them. Mya and Jax are those kinds of characters and
there are times when you’re not sure things are going to turnout the way you
want, which keeps you turning the pages even more addictively.
As science
fiction, THE SPACE CAPTAIN’S COURTESAN is exemplary with its unusual settings,
modern yet old-fashioned living style and technology, and almost medieval
punishments. As a romance, Jax is a charming yet irritating hero who frustrates so delightfully, you want to knock him in the head, and then kiss it to make it better. Mya is perfection in a match for Jax because she's just as stubborn but so in love, even as she despises him at times. I love how it has a Firefly
feel to it. So there you are, if you’re a fan of Firefly, and that space western kind of atmosphere, you’ll love
this book. Jax carries himself in that Captain Mal way and is just as stubborn
and sexy, while Mya is thoroughly princess but with the desire and heart of a
courtesan like Inara.
I highly
recommend reading THE SPACE CAPTAIN’S COURTESAN, an Omega Galaxy novel by KC
Klein because it’s an adventure, escapism, and even if you’re not a fan of
science fiction, if you love romance, you will love Jax and Mya’s story…a
fairy tale space story.
Happy
Reading Everyone!
