Six years ago, Vanysha thought she had found her happily ever after in Kieran, the son of the military head of Westran Alpha, a planet in the Nexxus system. Her dream was shattered when she woke up one night to find Kieran gone without a word. Worse still, her parents disowned her out of selfishness. Vanysha is left to pick up the pieces of her life in a world that uses and abuses her. Rebuilding her life with her flight crew turned family, she realizes her dream of owning a transport ship—until fate leads Kieran back to her while underhanded sinister plots threaten Nexxus. Vanysha finds herself caught in the crosshairs. Will she and Kieran find their way to each other and uncover the plot? Find out in this sci-fi fantasy romance, Star-Crossed Negotiations, by Tessa McFionn.

I love how the story cuts between the perspectives of Vanysha, Kieran, and several other characters, including the villains; it makes the book well-rounded, even without revealing the identities of the villains while building suspense. It was fun trying to figure out who was after Kieran and trying to impede the peace negotiations between Westran Alpha and Hexaka. I loved that the culprits weren’t the obvious choice, and I was pleasantly surprised after I found out who they were. I admired Vanysha as a character, and she was my favorite. I thought she was very strong after overcoming all she went through. Tessa McFionn gives you a splendid mix of romance, suspense, and fantasy in Star-Crossed Negotiations.
