Rescue Her Heart (Her Heart Series Book 1) Kindle Edition
As a decorated Space Ranger in the 8th Galaxy, Captain Natalie (Nat) Reynolds has an exciting, albeit lonely, life. Yet, when Nat answers a distress call from a craft in trouble on a nearby planet, it has the possibility of changing the trajectory of her life forever.
Catherine Porter is down on her luck in the worst way. Evicted, almost penniless, she worries all hope is lost until a charismatic stranger flies into her life. Inexplicably drawn to the one woman who can possibly save her, Catherine must face feelings she never considered.
Will their stars align and lead them to a happily ever after? Or will their differences tear their hearts apart? If you like a fun story with romance and adventure, mixed with conflict and heroism, then you will love KC Luck’s page-turning new book.
Explore the campy sci-fi world of “Rescue Her Heart” today!
Note: This is a full-length, stand-alone novel with a science fiction theme, but is significantly more focused on strong female characters in a loving lesbian relationship. www.kc-luck.com

There is damsel in distress, a heroic space ranger who happens to be hot as and a good storyline that it is fast paced and keeps you interested and villains with space fights and heroic actions, if you like those sorts of things then you’ll be pleasantly entertained. I liked the interplay between the characters and the shower scene was.... ahem... well you get the idea. There was a good mix of adventure and romance and a few hotter scenes which were great and not too overwhelming of the story. I liked it a lot. Would definitely recommend.
Oh, and Mrs KC Luck, can you please write about Sal? My Heart ached for her and I felt that she has the most amazing story to tell. A fascinating complicated character who I would love to read about. After all there’s nothing like a a good girl gone bad redeemed is there? She deserves it, I could feel her almost bursting out of the pages with her character almost stealing the show.
I'm rating it 3 stars because, it's not outstanding, it's not the worst... it's somewhere in the middle of romance novels I've read.
***SPOILERS for first 1/3 of book***
So far it's been light on the sci fi... kind of like author started a standard rescue scenario and then decided to put "space" in front of select words to juice it up. It's basically been a car chase (sorry, space chase) and a shopping spree (with no relation to space at all). I'm a third the way in and just got the first mention of an alien and I was like, "wait, what? There were aliens walking around this whole time and you're telling me about boring humans?!"
As far as the romance - I haven't stopped thinking... is this immature idiot about to be sold into sex trafficking by a narcissistic predator?
At the very beginning the damsel in distress is described as a teenager who has been raised by an often absent, alcoholic father since her mom died when she was four. And yet she's surprised when her dad leaves her broke and homeless. Typically kids in this situation would be forced to take a parenting role, become more mature and self-reliant and then deal with the trauma of it all by having to learn to trust and accept help when needed. Not this kid. This kid has no street smarts, no independence, no self-awareness; she just runs around begging for rescue from the nearest adult. At least she's hot and has a good body so lots of adults want to "rescue" her.
Enter our hero, the military veteran who sees a hot teenager in trouble and immediately sacrifices safety and career to scoop her up, take her to a nice hotel and begin a truly creepy seduction via luxury. Teen says I'm not interested in you sexually, hero takes her shopping for the most expensive evening gowns so she can watch her change clothes and and grope her in a dressing room. Teen says I'm not interested in women, hero takes her to a lesbian bar. After all this, teen says she's uncomfortable with the hero grinding on her and she wants to leave and hero gets all pissy.
If the hero was any kind of good person, she should've taken the kid to the kid's aunt's house instead of holing them up in a hotel and serving alcohol to someone who's underage.
I get it's a romance novel so no means yes... but the revealed internal motivations of the teenager are confusion and fear, not sexy teasing.
So at this point I'm thinking... these ladies need thorough backstories to explain the otherwise super creepy interactions (why is hero so attracted to a teenager in distress? Is it just a desire to have power over someone who's vulnerable? Or has she been alone in a spaceship since she was 18 so they're essentially the same emotional age? Why is this idiot teenager worth saving? Just because she's hot? Just because she's in trouble? And how did this kid live in the same neighborhood her whole life and never make a friend? Why does the author think a teenager's complete isolation and abject need are necessary for this story?)
I'd like it better if the power dynamics were different. Like if the teen had any power at all.
If the teenager was the strong, dependable rescuer and the adult was the naive spoiled brat, but even then - no one gets to adulthood that naive without being an heiress or cryogenically frozen or something. Man, now I really want a book with a street tough teen joining the space military and her first mission is to help a recently unfrozen heiress adapt to modern times and space hijinks ensue.
In the absence of backstory, I hope the teen sells everything hero just bought her and buys a ticket on the first spaceship out of town, while laughing her ass of at the exploitability of aggressively horny adults who prey on young girls in trouble.
I'll finish reading it eventually because other reviews say it gets better - but it's going to have to have one hell of a back half to make me forgive either of these characters for how unsympathetic they are and to root for their romance.
