Taber is the head of security on the Eurus colony and his responsibilities never take him off planet. That is, until there’s a murder on the nearby pleasure ship, Damara, and her chief of security is the victim. At the request of the ship’s captain, he and a colleague are sent to investigate his murder and they soon determine the killer is fixated on sexy bartender, Fallon, who found the first body. The attraction Taber feels for Fallon is unwelcome in a male of his species. It also forces him to come to terms with a long-held secret as he deals with his feelings for Fallon.
Fallon is a bartender on the recreation ship, Damara, and it’s a posting she’d loved to get out of, if she can save enough money for the long and expensive space flight back to Earth. It’s during a busy night tending bar that she finds a body, thrusting her into the middle of a murder investigation. It also puts her in the sights of tall and sexy, Taber, an alien man she can’t get out of her mind. Attraction leads to a night of passion and then a confession, making Fallon love Taber more. It also focuses the killer’s attention on Taber.
The Bond That Consumes Us is the latest release by Christine d’Abo in her ongoing Eternal Bonds series, and it’s another winner. Whether you enjoy futuristic stories or not, this well-written and fast-paced romance will grab your attention from the beginning pages and kept it until you read the last word. This series might be set in the future with its space travel and intergalactic colonies, but the backbone of this story is finding unexpected love and catching a killer. This type of story, especially one so well thought out and with such interesting characters, works, no matter what the genre.
The sexual tension between Taber and Fallon starts at a slow simmer and quickly changes to a rolling boil as these two virtual strangers struggle against an attraction they don’t expect, and Taber doesn’t understand or welcome. It’s an attraction that neither can deny nor ignore, since it only gets stronger hour by hour. Add in a killer who appears to be focused on Fallon, and Taber has all the reason he needs to stick close to her side.
While I enjoyed the first portion of the story which takes place aboard the Damara, it’s the last part where Taber takes Fallon back to the Eurus colony for safety that is my favorite. It’s here that Ms. d’Abo shines with her seamless integration of the great primary characters from her previous two releases. These scenes are wonderfully done, giving a new view of Fallon, Taber and how they relate to others. It’s safe to say that I’ll be reading the next release in this winning series.
