Summary: Timeless Tales review
Review: By TT reviewer Amy L. Turpin

Kate Dyson, Ally Egerton, Greta Hanson, Beth Reyes and Jorja Smith are the women who make up the crew of the USS Letanya. There is nothing particularly special about them, unless you count the fact that they are headed from a still male dominated Earth to the distant Galaxy, Andromeda. Well, that, and the fact that there has never been an all female crew allowed to take this challenge. Intergalactic travel is still relatively new, and NASA has been unwilling to risk its newest and most advanced starships to the hands of "women drivers". Fortunately, this "all girl" crew is about to make the discovery that will crown all their achievements as astronauts.

The quintet enter Andromeda in the Denoba System and make their way to the planet that will change their lives. Everything is going letter-perfect thus far, and their mission is already a huge success back home. Then they make the biggest discovery that has ever been made--humanoid life outside their own planet! Not wanting to make any mistakes, aware that her crew is under close scrutiny by NASA and the rest of Earth, Captain Kate Dyson evaluates and reevaluates their options. She knows that one mistake, no matter how small, will result in NASA labeling all women astronauts as unable to get the job done. With that in mind, she decides that they must land on the planet in order to seal their discovery with as much fact as she possibly can. NASA agrees with her, but she is ordered to stay with the ship instead of accompanying her crew. Their mission is to learn what they can about the primitive culture and then send the data back to Earth.

Hindsight being twenty-twenty, Kate really wishes she had that decision back when all her crew is captured, immersing them in a culture where women are slaves and men are their masters. Kate must either wait until help arrives--in maybe a year--or attempt a rescue herself. Either way, her career is all but finished in disgrace. With that in mind, she resolves herself to find and bring back her companions, no matter what the cost.
The other women, held by a race where the average man is well over six feet tall, must learn to adapt to a life of slavery, even as they plan their escape. And make no mistake, these men are giants . . . in every way!

This is a fantastic, sexy tale, filled with strong women who know that they want and are not afraid to take it. In the spirit of Johanna Lindsey's 'Warrior's Woman' and Gene Roddenberry's 'Star Trek,' J.W. McKenna creates his own futuristic world and fills it with action and eroticism. If you like romance with explicit sex, plus all the wonders that come with hi-tech inventions, this is definitely worth checking out!

Summary: Slave Planet review
Review: I really enjoyed this book. It has adventure, sex and drama. You really feel for the female astronauts in their efforts to escape from this planet where men rule and women are mere subjects.

Summary: Less talk, more action
Review: The set up for the story took too long, about half the book. Unfortunately because they could not communicate for a period of time, the men on the planet didn't seem to have any personality. I couldn't understand how the women got turned on by the guys. Much prefer a Jaid Black story which is sizzling yet romantic.

Review: This is about the first all female interplantery starship crew. The powers that be see gloom and doom for the crew and they just know that they will have to send in the Marines to get the women out of trouble. Kathryn Dyson is determined to prove them wrong.
When the ladies find a planet that is capable to supporting human life and that has lifeforms on it they can;t resist going down to explore.

This is the first planet that has been found with life and an oxygen atomsphere. So three of the crew go down to explore. They plan very carefully, but as things always seem to go the women get captured. They find that women on the planet are considered slaves. Each is sold to a master and they learn to adapt to the life that is forced on them.

Determined to save her crewmen Kathryn and Ally, the second in command, decided to attempt a rescue. But Nasa has other plans. They will only authorize Ally to to go. Well Ally is also captured. Kathryn is now determined to ignore Nasa and go down to the surface in an escape pod.

That follows is a great story of survial and coming to terms with the hidden desires in each of us.
