This book was alright. It had some things I really liked and some that I literally scoffed at. On the plus side Angel was independent and fearless. She was a heroine in her own right. There were some really funny little side comments in the book that made me laugh. Nicoli was a sexy, honor bound male who was more than willing to put his life on the line to do the right thing and protect those he cared about. You have to appreciate that. The book also presented an interesting take on what it means to be 'free.' Thus the title of both the book and Nicoli's ship, clever.On the negative side this is a case of insta-love to the extreme, initially based on NOTHING more than appearances. (view spoiler)[I mean NOTHING. In both cases they (Nicoli and Angel) fell irrevocably in lust with the body of the other when it wasn't even inhabited by their consciousness or life essence and without knowing it was the other person. So literally just their naked body. (hide spoiler)]
