The Quantum Rose by Catherine Asaro, 8

Book Description: Kamoj Argali is the young ruler of an impoverished province on a backward planet. To keep her people from starving, she has agreed to marry Jax Ironbridge, the boorish and brutal ruler of a prosperous province. But before Argali and Ironbridge are wed, a mysterious stranger from a distant planet sweeps in and forces Kamoj into marriage, throwing her world into utter chaos.

Review: I figured it was about time I read something by Catherine Asaro since I enjoyed a short story of hers. I’m glad I picked this one up. It was the perfect blend of romance and sci-fi. The characters and romance were especially unique. This is the sixth book in her Skolian Empire series. I haven’t read any of the other books in the series but I didn’t have much of a problem following the plot. I’ll be reading more books from the series.
