Blurb
Each note brings her one step closer to the truth.
When the cyborg Nebula plays the piano she experiences memories from a time before her creation. These memories…which involve a captive rebel fighter being held on their ship…bring with them complex human feelings and awaken a desire for her to discover her origins.
Radian is the long lost love of the woman from which Nebula was made. He’s vowed to avenge his finance’s death and rescue her sister from the Gryphonites, a fierce race out to enslave the galaxy.
Nebula grapples with her identity and how much of who she is comes from someone else’s past. She is not the woman that died, yet she is undeniably drawn to Radian.
Together Nebula and Radian seek to rescue his fiancé’s sister and end the Gryphonites’ cruel reign. But can Radian learn to love again and can Nebula accept a past made from someone else’s memories?

My review
Okay I didn't buy this book, my wife did - attracted by the very striking cover. But after raving about the book when she first began reading it, by the end of it was disappointed. So she suggested I read it and blog it.
Okay even though I'm not hugely into romance I gave it a shot. The first half of the book is fantastic - and I don't say that lightly. The second half of the book… Well I'm not sure what the hell happened but I refuse to believe it's by the same person. It was like watching a major motion picture that suddenly switched to a bad, made for cable movie. Now this book is from an indie publisher (does that actually mean indie?) so I wasn't to keen to consider it because she'd technically had an editor etc then. But that didn't matter. The ending was such a let down. And the beginning - WOW. The oddest book I've come across - at least normally they suck the whole way through! Or are good enough that you can dismiss the bad bits. Had this book continued like the beginning it would have made it to my RAVE scale. Unfortunately it bombed so gets a 4 on the RANT scale. Quite pricy too - guess this is due to it being 'published'? Oh and its one of those books that only has 5 star gushy reviews yet low in the rankings, what a shocker. Note to all indie authors, avoid the gush and just be honest! Readers appreciate more (or at least this reader and his wife does..)
