Nighthawk

Determined to earn her father's approval, Kari Solis set out to capture the commander of the rebel forces wreaking havoc on their world. But she didn't count on her plans being upset by a rogue smuggler-a handsome loner concealing a shadowy past and an even darker secret. After he managed to turn the tables and take her hostage, Talon should have rid himself of Kari's dangerous company at the first opportunity. Instead, he found himself torn between a raging hunger to possess her and a driving need to escape a passion that jeoparized everything he'd stived for. Confronted by a dark menace, threatening all they held dear, the two reluctantly joined forces, igniting a firestorm of cosmic passion that took them to a final battle-pitting the power of betrayal against the strength of their love.

I have to say, I was never a fan of these stories. The SciFi always seemed to get in the way of the characters, and strange words and new creatures always seemed like gimmicks that never quite gelled. I picked up this book because I got Dara Joy's books and this always popped up as a recommendation and boy! Was I glad I did. Talon and Kari are a wonderful couple, their struggles as they deal with being on opposite sides of the law and their dealings with their feelings for each other were wonderful to read about. I hope Ms. Kyle writes another futuristic romance soon.

The breathless action, complex characters and intriguing plot line sucked me in from the start and didn't let me go until the end. Rogue smuggler Talon is to die for. Kari Solis is a strong, independent heroine with something to prove. When these two intriguing characters get together, the sparks fly--and the romance heats up. A wonderful read I highly recommend. I can't wait for Kristen Kyle's next book!

If you like futuristic romances, this one is a must have!! It's sweet, sexy, and original (which I sadly can't say about many books on the market). One thing I can say about this book, if this is the author's first book, she's going to be hot, Hot, HOT as she gets more out!!! :-)Sarah P

I'm not a huge fan of futuristics, but this novel rocked my world. There's no way this book could have been any better. The hero and heroine were great--they bantered nonstop and connected with me on a completely emotional level. I stayed up all night to finish Nighthawk, and I was sobbing with joy (and maybe a little exhaustion) by the end. The plot is half Star Wars (tangled family lines and surprise forebears popping up when least expected amid spectacular battles in space and on exotic-sounding planets), and half Chippendales calendar, with new and appealing heros of future Kristen Kyle novels dropping in frequently. Can't wait for the sequel about Rand! Do yourself a favor and read this book now.
