The Torid Affair by Laurann Dohner

 











3.5 Star

The crew on the Defcon Red are called on to help calm the riots on the planet Torid. Research Specialist Jessa Brick is pressed into service to help those who are injured. She is shocked by the inequality on the planet and is furious when she is pressed to help certain people over others by the governor. Veslor Medic Maith has always been annoyed by Jessa but seeing her work and her dedication changes his opinion of her. When things get dicey Maith is ordered to protect Jessa at all costs. This means they spend all their time together. As more information is discovered on what led to the riot the more danger Jessa is in. Will they be able to make it out unscathed?

I enjoyed this story. I particularly like seeing how Jessa got out of her forced servitude by the earth forces. The reason for the lower rating was the book seemed rushed at the end. It was a flow issue of the story was moving along nicely and then either we hit some wall and Dohner felt she needed to conclude the story right now and rushed the ending. It was a good read up until Jessa and Maith got back to the ship. When they were on the planet it was moving along nicely. I also didn’t feel they wrapped up the stuff going on planet side well because they were rushing the relationship. Overall, it was an enjoyable read and fit the rest of the series.
