For privateer Captain Magdalene Landon, it's all about going big. For Kay Ellis, it's about getting home. Together, they're about to architect the most daring heist in the galaxy. <\/p>\n<p>Kay knows too much. She knows it\u2019s a matter of time before a Conglomerate hitman finds her. She\u2019s desperate for safe passage back to Union space. Then Magdalene shows up, promising a way home in exchange for that information. It\u2019s a risky bet, but Kay is out of options. So she strikes a deal: the heist of the century for her freedom.Kay is playing a dangerous game, and she knows it. She\u2019s made herself Enemy Number One of the Conglomerate. She\u2019s relying on privateers for her safety. It\u2019s a fool\u2019s game. But the worst part is, her fool\u2019s heart is starting to warm to the enigmatic captain. And that\u2019s a risk for which she hadn\u2019t planned.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><center><span class=\"ubb-buy\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07NQL5XX9\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/amazon.png?w=1280\" alt=\"Amazon\"><\/a><\/span><\/center><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/44018852-safe-passage\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/widget_logo.gif?w=1280\" alt=\"Goodreads\"><\/a><br><\/center><center><p class=\"ubb-buy\"><div class=\"ubb-icon-tags\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/4stars\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"80\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/categories_0000s_0003_4-stars.png?fit=80%2C100&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"4 stars icon\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/f-f\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"80\" height=\"101\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/categories_0002_f_f-copy.png?fit=80%2C101&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"f-f\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/romance\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"82\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/categories_0000s_0017_romance.png?fit=82%2C100&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"romance icon\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/scifi\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"80\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/categories_0000s_0013_scifi.png?fit=80%2C100&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"scifi icon\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/p><\/div><\/center><br>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2019-05-02T01:00:00+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"\\r\\n\\r\\nContenting warnings: \\r\\n\\r\\nI'm a sucker for scifi romance, and when I saw this had lesbian space pirates taking on a big heist, well, I couldn't wait to read it.

And for the most part, it definitely lived up to my expectations.<\/p>\n<p>Kay&#8217;s had a bit of a run of bad luck and bad choices lately, with the latest leaving her stranded on a backwater planet waiting for the galactic mob, the Conglomerate, to decide to kill her. \u00a0Turns out, being the key engineer behind securing their planet-sized bank means they&#8217;d be happier off with her out of the picture. \u00a0So when a pirate captain &#8211; excuse me, a privateer captain &#8211; approaches her with a crazy idea to rob that bank, well, what&#8217;s one more bad decision? \u00a0But falling in love with that captain might be an even worse one&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBut from where I\u2019m sitting, I\u2019m a dead woman anyway. I\u2019ve got nothing to lose. But you?\u201d I shrugged. \u201cThere\u2019s trillions of credits sitting there in Deltaseal\u2019s vaults. And the only way you see a penny of them is through me.\u201d<br \/>\nShe gritted her teeth. \u201cTen.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cForty-five.\u201d<br \/>\nShe snorted. \u201cYou\u2019re insane.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cMaybe.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019ll give you fifteen, and nothing else. I\u2019ve got an entire crew to split this between.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cAnd I\u2019ve got a life on the run to fund. Forty. And that\u2019s undercutting myself.\u201d<br \/>\nShe scowled at me, and I fought to repress a grin. I had the impression that Magdalene Landon wasn\u2019t used to losing, and didn\u2019t care for it. She pushed her seat back and got to her feet. \u201cI\u2019ll give you twenty-five percent, Kate Ellis. And that\u2019s my final offer. I mean it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Kay&#8217;s an interesting character. \u00a0After a multibillion dollar mistake &#8211; caused mostly by being run ragged by her employer &#8211; Kay&#8217;s basically blacklisted. \u00a0The only job she can find is with a security-obsessed businessman, and while she realizes quickly that he&#8217;s affiliated with the Conglomerate, she&#8217;s stuck between a rock and a hard place. \u00a0For a lot of the book, she&#8217;s stuck reacting out of desperation instead of making conscious choices, but when she finally recovers, she&#8217;s got an amazing backbone of steel &#8211; she&#8217;s a survivor. \u00a0While Kay almost immediately develops a crush on Maggie, since the book is from Kay&#8217;s first person POV, Maggie&#8217;s feelings are much less obvious. \u00a0Maggie&#8217;s sort of your stereotypical no-nonsense ice queen, and it&#8217;s a ton of fun watching for all the little hints that she&#8217;s thawing.<\/p>\n<p>Kay describes her initial infatuation with Maggie as sort of a teen crush, and parts of the romance do read a bit YA-ish. It&#8217;s light on actual sexual content, but the tension between the two of them was great (when Maggie wasn&#8217;t freezing her out). \u00a0There&#8217;s a lot of &#8220;does she like me? no, she doesn&#8217;t like me&#8221; back and forth, and it doesn&#8217;t help that Maggie blows hot and cold for the majority of the book. \u00a0One moment they&#8217;re going on their first date (buying parts to fix the ship at a seedy hole in the wall joint, followed by a drink at an equally seedy hole in the wall bar, hello, AWESOME), the next thing Maggie&#8217;s giving Kay the cold shoulder with zero explanation. \u00a0There&#8217;s reasons behind Maggie&#8217;s behavior, which she does share with Kay eventually, but it is initially frustrating, and I could see it turning some readers off. \u00a0There&#8217;s also a hint of a gay-for-you vibe, since this is the first time Kay&#8217;s been attracted to a woman, but I think it was handled well &#8211; there&#8217;s a deliciously sweet list of all the reasons why she likes Maggie. \u00a0The only other thing that bothered me is that there&#8217;s a bit of a love triangle. \u00a0There\u2019s some parts where other people (including Maggie) assume Kay is romantically involved with another member of the crew, but she sorts that out with him as soon as she realizes it, and while he does have feelings for her, he supports her (possible) relationship with Maggie.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t read the author&#8217;s bio before I started the book, but I guessed pretty quickly that she was a programmer. \u00a0The techie stuff &#8211; from firewalls to rebooting servers &#8211; was well done and Kay not only loves her job, but she&#8217;s really quite good at it. \u00a0Maggie&#8217;s equally a great captain, managing her crew with efficiency and camaraderie, and quite frankly it was great competence porn. \u00a0The heist portion was a little bit understated for me &#8211; the actual heist part is pretty fun, but I wished there was more about the planning of it.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMy algorithms are adaptive, Katherine. They will adapt to adjust for this new information.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThat sounds ominous,\u201d Maggie observed.<br \/>\n\u201cOn the contrary, Magdalene. I only mean that \u2013 as you humans would say \u2013 \u2018a friend of Katherine\u2019s is a friend of mine.\u2019 Knowing the value she places on you, I shall now adjust my own.\u201d<br \/>\nI wasn\u2019t sure I had ever heard anything simultaneously so sweet and yet so insanely creepy.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of the other crew members, we get the most about Frank, and then, to a lesser extent, Fredricks, the doctor, Ginny the engineer, and the cook, David. I really liked Kay&#8217;s friendship with Frank and all the little bits that came with him being an alien. I also got a ridiculous kick out of Kay&#8217;s robot, Sydney. She accidentally acquires him after their first heist, where the rich owner decided it was a good idea to reprogram hulking security bots to serve as a butler. \u00a0This results in an interesting mishmash of programming, and the robot basically adopts her and follows her around like a puppy dog.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I think I&#8217;d rate this around 3.5 stars. \u00a0While I had some issues with the book, I still really enjoyed it, and I&#8217;ll definitely be picking up the next in the series to see what happens!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contenting warnings: I&#8217;m a sucker for scifi romance, and when I saw this had lesbian space pirates taking on a big heist, well, I couldn&#8217;t wait to read it.
