Rating: 4 stars out of 5
Lieutenant Lee Mallory spends his time off duty playing video games. There isn’t much else to do while stationed on the USS Nova out in deep space.
Unfortunately, a run in with his commanding officer, Jonan Thomas, strips him — and everyone else onboard — of their gaming privileges.
Thomas has had it in for Lee from day one, when they got off on the wrong foot. Now, banned from using the game server in the rec room, Lee sneaks online in his quarters after hours, looking to play.
That’s where he meets a fellow gamer onboard who’s interested in a different kind of game. As much as Lee wants to hook up, though, he can’t afford to get into any more trouble.
Can Lee take command — in the game and in the bedroom — without further aggravating his CO?
I liked this story, it wasn’t very focused on the characters’ relationship but I don’t think that was a problem. Lee got off on the wrong foot when he first met his CO and hasn’t gained any ground since. Jonan reacted badly when he first met Lee and hasn’t been able to figure out a way to fix that.
I could see Lee’s frustration at how the CO is treating him and his fear when he first learns who “Jo” really is. They turn out to be very compatible but I can’t help but wonder how they can make it work. They are cute though.
The cover art by Written Ink Designs is nice and I really liked the cover.
