Book Description

Arcana, Book 1

David is a newly retired special ops soldier, looking to find his way in an unfamiliar civilian world. His first step is to visit an old friend, the owner of a bar called The Rabbit Hole on a distant space station. While there, he meets an intriguing woman who holds the keys to his future.

Adele has a special ability, handed down through her family. Adele can sometimes see the future. She doesn't know exactly why she's been drawn to the space station where her aunt deals cards in a bar that caters to station workers and ex-military. She only knows that she needs to be there. When she meets David, sparks of desire fly between them and she begins to suspect that he is part of the reason she traveled halfway across the galaxy.

Pirates gas the inhabitants of the station while Adele and David are safe inside a transport tube and it's up to them to repel the invaders. Passion flares while they wait for the right moment to overcome the alien threat and retake the station. But what good can one retired soldier and a civilian do against a ship full of alien pirates?

Note: This novella was previously available in an anthology titled Fortune's Fool, which is now out of print. It has been revised and re-edited for this edition.

Warning: This book contains adult situations and language, romance, adventure, and intimacy described in frank terms. There may also be some buckling of swashes, piracy and heroism in the vastness of space.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish it was longer May 10, 2013

I enjoyed the story, the characters, and the ending, but I wanted more than there was to the story than what was in the book

5.0 out of 5 stars so much potential starting out... March 12, 2013
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I reviewed this "series" under End of the Line. This is the second in the Arcana series. The plot was good, the characters were good, nicely developed and the dialogue was more than satisfactory. The lack of character conflict, exterior forces conflict, and some relatively brief informational descriptions conspired to shorten this piece of literatire.

I am so not saying I didn't like it, for what it was I really liked it, but I would love to see the author lenthen this tale maybe with the help of another author. There has to be some way to expand this story.

I loved the world she built and the population is pretty darn awesome; I have desperately tried to find an order form so I could get one of these retired super soldiers out on my space port ( I realize earth isn't on the rim, but there has to be some action over here), but Alas! no luck yet.

Bottom line: I took a chance and I was not so disappointed that I felt a negative review was in order, in fact, my only complaint is that I would have liked to stay in the story for longer.

3.0 out of 5 stars it's another okay story in the series February 21, 2013

This is another okay story in this series. Not bad, as the characters are likeable, and the intrigue is easy to follow... I just have to say that if you are looking for "oomph!" and heavy storyline, this series falls in the "I liked it okay--but probably wouldn't re-read it again" category. I read two of the series, and after the second one I decided that even though it had a satisfying ending, I didn't really want to read another one.
