Title: The Segonian<\/a> (Aldebarian Alliance<\/a> #2)
Author: Dianne Duvall<\/a>
Genre: Sci-Fi Romance
My rating: 5 of 5<\/a> stars<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you go wrong with a Dianne Duvall novel? In my experience, it hasn’t happened yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second book in the Aldebarian Alliance series, The Segonian, picks at the point in The Lasaran where they are attacked. And don’t worry, no tension is lost in the continuity. Dianne Duvall quickly gets our hearts pumping. Our girl Eliana is stranded in space with a few hours’ worths of oxygen while her rescue, the Ranasura, is weeks away. Commander Dagon and his crew quickly are falling for the charm of Eliana as they check in with her, sadly knowing that there is no chance they will arrive in time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank Gathendians for the one positive thing they did was create the virus released on Earth that makes Eliana an Immortal Guardian. The only reason she could survive the weeks in deep space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Hi, I’m Eliana, thank you for saving me.’ <\/strong>– Eliana<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I adored this book two. Dagon and Eliana had terrific synergy. Eliana is a freaking delightful character, and you will laugh and cry with her. If you aren’t in tears during her goodbye message, you are a heartless boob! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duvall entrances her readers with her heroine through the eyes of her hero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the hero. Wooheee! Dagon is the strong steamy type, and I don’t mind that type at all. Talk about tall, dark, and alluring–he’s quite the package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a big fan of this series. While you can get by reading these books as ‘one-offs’ you would miss 90% of the overall story arc. I recommend you start at The Lasaran and then read this one. The Segonian is better than the first, and I gave that five stars too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘That’s cool. I want one!’<\/strong> – Eliana<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary advance copy of this book<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
