Review for FINDERS KEEPERS

I just got through reading Finders Keepers by Linnea Sinclair. Enjoyed it very much.

Trilby ran goods through the star routes, sometimes smuggled them too. She had a delapiated ship, and an old robot who talked too much, but she liked it that way. Independence. But then her world changed drastically when she set down on a desolate planet for repairs.

The man she dragged on board was tall and hunky. When he awoke, he also turned out to be very bossy, basically acting like he had a ram-rod up his butt. At first, Trilby questioned her judgement in rescuing him from the wrecked ship where she had found him. Maybe she should have left him as dinner for the vampire snakes?

But, while trying to keep her ship running, they began to become friends, and lovers.
Then the Imperial fleet interfered. They were involved in diplomatic drama, with spy activity and the scary Sko seemed set to overtake Imperial space. And somehow Trilby was right in the middle of the intrigue. Someone wanted her navigational charts and were willing to kill to obtain them.

To top it off, she found out Rhis was not who he said he was. She was pissed! She felt used. How could one of the highest ranking officers in the fleet be involved with a lowly trader captain? How could she have fallen in love again, after being recently betrayed?

Tivahr, known as Tivahr The Terrible was used to being treated with fear and respect. Then he ran across a bold, beautiful, sassy trader captain. Her ragged ship raised his eyebrows, and her ancient robot got on his nerves, but he was enchanted with Trilby. His guard slipped, and surprisingly, he found himself feeling emotions he wouldn't have thought himself capable of.
He hated using Trilby to help catch the traitor in their midst. As time passed, he found that he desired her arms about him as much, or perhaps more, than his Captaining the Fleet. But would she want him once she found out who he really was...or what he was?

If you like s/f romances, I highly recommend this book. My only problem was the many names of characters and the different factions involved. Maybe it's just me, but I kept having to flip around to remember who was who.

I met Linnea at RT last year, and she is a lovely lady, with a broad smile and sparkle in her eyes, which tell me she loves life!
