Publisher's summary

New York Times and USA Today best-selling author S.E. Smith presents another adventure- and suspense-filled story to transport listeners out of this world.

Star Strauss has always been a fighter. From the time she was born prematurely to her life on the road as a circus performer, she has never let her small stature keep her from achieving her dreams. Her love of being up high and flying free has helped her overcome the challenges she faces when she is on the ground. But her life changes when she finds herself on a distant world where every creature seems to tower over her.

Jazin Ja Kel Coradon is the third son of the ruling House of Kassis. He is known not only for his skills as a fierce warrior but also for his knowledge of communication, security, and weapons systems. This knowledge has increased the effectiveness of the Kassis defenses protecting their world from attack from a new group of rebels who threaten their very existence. He will fight until his last breath to protect his people.

His life changes when he meets a tiny creature who is unlike anything he has ever seen. She is petite, delicate, and beautiful - and the strongest, most stubborn female he has ever met. She refuses to do what he tells her, she defies him at every turn, and she doesn't seem to understand that all he wants to do is protect her. If he could just get her to stay in the safe bubble he has created for her, his life would be so much simpler!

Star had enough of people back home trying to put her in a glass box. But when the man she loves is kidnapped, she will do what she does best: use her skills as a performer to rescue him from the men determined to bring down the Kassis defense system.

Sometimes being small has its advantages. The enemy never expects a pint-size female to have the strength of a warrior.

How many times...

So much abduction. but so worth the outcome. I love this book. Can hardly wait to finish the series 🥰

Great book

I liked that it had multiple messages and hints against xenophobia. Overall a great series

Enjoyable

This narrator gives life to all of the characters!
Jazin met Star when the women rescued them in the first book. He knew that he wanted her for is mate from the start. So when she got hurt when a traitor Kassisian tried to kill the ruling family, Jazin decided to keep her in his house under guard.
Jazin ended up going on a secret mission and got himself kidnapped. Star then proceeded to go with three other people to rescue him.
Read to find out all of the ways Star seems to get herself in trouble during this story and how she ends up saving others in the process.
The two French men and two robots that have been mentioned in some of this author's other books was mentioned in this one too. This book has several hilarious moments starring the robots, then again when the circus from earth comes back to Kassisian with Star and Jo's parents.
I have fallen in love with this author's stories. Definitely give them a try a see what you think of them.

this is a great series! full of action

loved it! it is amazing and very hot and steamy. a must read! great action

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

GREAT STORY OF LOVE, LIFE AND DETERMINATION!

If you could sum up Star’s Storm in three words, what would they be?

TINY. LOVABLE. DEADLY. SHE IS A TINY LITTLE THING. LOVED HER SISTERS VERY MUCH AND ANYONE SHE LOVED WITH FIERCE DETERMINATION. VERY DEADLY WHEN SHE HAD TO BE, EVEN THOUGH MOST OF THE TIME SHE IS SCARED.

Who was your favorite character and why?

WELL I HAVE TO SAY IT WAS JAZIN - THE POOR GUY WAS PULLING HIS HAIR OUT MOST OF THE TIME TRYING TO DEAL WITH STAR.

What about Samantha Cook’s performance did you like?

SAMANTHA COOK WAS GREAT. SHE KEPT THE STORY ROLLING RIGHT ALONG. SHE WAS UPBEAT WHERE SHE NEEDED TO BE AND SOUNDED SERIOUS WHEN THE STORY CALLED FOR IT. GOOD JOB SAMANTHA!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

WHEN STAR WAS TOLD THAT JAZIN WAS DEAD. HOW SHE KIND OF SHUT DOWN UNTIL SHE WAS TOLD THAT HE WAS ALIVE AND SHE WAS DETERMINED TO GO GET HIM.

Any additional comments?

I LOVE THE STORIES - HOWEVER, SE SMITH DRIVES ME CRAZY WITH SOME OF THE NAMES SHE COMES UP WITH. I ONLY LISTEN TO AUDIO BOOKS, AND I DON'T HAVE A CLUE ON HOW TO SPELL SOME OF THE NAMES OF THE CHARACTERS. MAYBE A LIST OF CHARACTERS LOCATED SOMEWHERE FOR US AUDIO PEOPLE TO SEE THE NAMES??

Better than the first one

Loved this book, have read it in the past but didn’t remember it. Glad I bought the audiobook. I will be buying the next one

Feisty heroine and sexy alien - great romance

Ms Smith imbues all of her writing with delightful humor, strong feisty women and protective men who have to learn to turn down the over-protective tendencies. this story fits right in with an original and fun story line.

Samantha Cook is a genius.

S.E. Smith writes great stories and Samantha Cook tells them perfectly. I love the different voices of the characters. My favorite scene is on the Piece of Shit. So funny! Lots of action, sexy scenes etc. I do think Smith has eye rolling, annoying sex talk but it’s good Samantha doesn’t perform them in the way they were written which a really good thing. I do recommend this story.

another favorite series

You cant go wrong with this one action romance intrigue love the books and heroines.
