Hardcore Green
Sylvain has lived her whole life in the Eckobar Carnival. She travels from world to world, growing things, ensuring crops and bringing life to dead soil. Her talent for bio-forming has saved thousands of lives, but when one world does not want to let her go, the Alliance has to call in assistance. Station 13 has offered up one of its own, Hardcore, to come to her rescue. With steel for bones, Hardcore is surprised to find his heart pounding at the sight of the slight leaf-winged pixie. Something flares to life between them and the people of Porvin want it to stop.

This was my first time reading this author and it won't be my last!
Her stories have the feel of quick dime store reads but with interesting characters and worlds. No time is wasted on miscommunication or other common angst builders. It's just straight up boy meets girl and they like each other.
Perfect for when you don't want to commit to a long book but want something fun and light but interesting.
Green/Sylvain and Hardcore/Garoz
She looks like a fairy but she packs a mean punch. He looks like a Big blue hotty and punches don't hurt him. Not that she punches him ; )
Actually they get on like a house on fire, but it's not insta love. Just honest attraction that becomes more as they fight bad guys and win the day.
He is supposed to rescue her from some villains who want to exploit her powers for evil. They stole her from her circus family. But she is as much a part of her rescue as he is and that doesn't bother him a bit. He's a man who likes a woman with strength. It was refreshing!

Most of the time, I am happy to enjoy a short story. It is the perfect bite of science fiction romance when I am pressed for time.
However, this story begged to be more developed. The carnival setting is grand. The heroine's coming into her own wonder. The hero is interesting. But everything from the romance to the action is rushed, stunted or dangling without closure.
Still, good but could have been great.
