Review of Drift by Lyn Gala

Drift by Lyn Gala

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Another stellar read from Lyn Gala. The crew of the Candiru is back for more action, more emotional upheaval, and, thankfully, more hot sex. This time around the story focused on Allie and Shank - that's Lacroix for those of you who read Turbulence. While we learn more about Allie as she comes to terms with feelings of failure due to leaving Jacqs and Zeke behind, I found that Shank's character development was far more fascinating. His familial background and the distinctions between family and non-family ships within their culture were presented in such a way that I received a history lesson without being bored or wanting to skip parts; but then again, we're talking about pirates and pirate tales are always interesting.

In Drift, the crew has to adjust to the fact that the war is now over. Allie's conflict with this new reality is a central theme in the book. However it's not how the non-war status will affect her that concerns her as much as what her crewmates will be expected to do in their new assignments, as well as what happened to Jacqs and Zeke after being left behind. These two things are what lead to some of the crew embarking upon a rescue mission to retrieve Jacqs and Zeke and thus the action begins, complete with jail breaks, pirate (space)ships, grand theft, and crossing the border into bat territory (an act which could restart the war). Are they successful? You'll have to read Drift to find out for yourself.

What I will tell you is that the sex scenes between Allie and Shank are hot. There is some light bondage play farther into the book and as it is just being introduced to the couple's sexual interactions it is by no means advanced BDSM, but it definitely increases the sensuality level. Ms. Gala has produced a sequel that is just as good as its predecessor and I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
