STAR CRUISE: RETURN VOYAGE
The Sectors SF Romance Series
By Veronica Scott
Gianna Nadenoft is a reclusive survivor of one of the worst interstellar cruise ship disasters in the history of the Sectors. Now a renowned artist, she hasn’t left her home planet in decades, not since returning there after the wreck as a traumatized three-year-old. With her service animal at her side, she’s going to attempt to travel across the star systems to attend her brother’s wedding and reunite with her fellow survivors.
Trevor Hanson is a security officer aboard the cruise liner Nebula Zephyr with his own traumatic past as a former Special Forces soldier and prisoner of war. He’s assigned to provide personal protection to Gianna during her time aboard the ship but soon finds his interest turning from professional to romantic.
Onboard the Nebula Zephyr, powerful enemies are watching Gianna and making plans to seize this rare opportunity to gain access to her and the secrets they believe she’s still keeping about the wreck. Can Trevor overcome his personal demons and rise to the occasion to save Gianna from the danger waiting on his ship, or will she slip through his fingers and suffer a terrible fate deferred from her last disastrous voyage?

My Review:
Security Officer Trevor Hanson enjoys his position abroad the Nebula Zephyr. Sure, he still suffers from PTSD from his time in the military but working helps him deal with any triggers and attacks. When Captain Fleming tasks him to oversee security for Gianna Nadenoft, one of the few survivors from the Nebula Dream disaster decades ago, he doesn’t know if he’s the right man for the job. Gianna herself suffers from PTSD but this is important to her. She’s traveling to attend her brother’s wedding and it’s the first time she’s left the safety of her home in several years. Not only that, she’s intrigued to revisit the ship designed so much like the one she was on so long ago. The more these two are together, the stronger their bond grows and love blooms. Can Trevor help Gianna overcome her fears while helping himself at the same time? Is love the healing cocktail this couple needs on this return cruise?
Return Cruise is a heartwarming science fiction romance I couldn’t put down. I always enjoy spending time in this series, visiting with new and old favorite characters. From the very beginning, my heart went out to Trevor. He’s had a hard time dealing with his PTSD but upon first meeting Gianna and her hound, he finds a comforting peace. The slow-burning romance between Trevor and Gianna fed my romantic soul. I found myself thinking this has to be a twist on the Titanic story from long ago. Return Cruise is such an engrossing story with plenty going on, I read it in two sittings. When the ending came, I was sad to leave the ship and this couple. If you’re looking for an escape, hop aboard and read Return Cruise. Highly recommend!
