![]() ![]() SALVAGED ( Amazon) is the most recent book from Madeline Roux and seems to be a departure from her typical genre. There was plenty in this book to enjoy… and to be frustrated with. But I also felt like it was somewhat skewed to represent only one of the best aspects of the book and not the book as a whole.

I mean, I’d like to think that EVERY cover quote would be legitimately honest and portray the full feelings of the one giving the quote, but there is this very pessimistic side of me that has been shoved into the advertisement and marketing niche for too long to believe that this is completely true. Sometimes I think it surprising that a good cover quote by a published author can still sway my opinion on whether to read a given book or not. ![]() ![]() ![]() Read online and download as many books as you like for personal use.

The short respite becomes a panicked flight for his life when one of the suitors stalking him attacks the family compound. He'd just wanted a break from persistent suitors at the family retreat on Ceti Tau. Still unattached at a concerning age for an imperial son, Prince Shiro Shinohara hadn't been running from the endless, mind-numbing rounds of omiai his mother, the Empress, had mandated. He knows he shouldn't get involved, but the Altairian Imperial crest on the private craft and the semi-conscious pilot's odd questions pique his always-whirling curiosity. ![]() Marsh Kensinger's work as the utility mechanic for Bremen Station keeps his life interesting - but never quite as interesting as finding a pilot still hidden inside a hibernation drawer in what should have been a salvage craft.
