| Lucy Malone is Chief Medical officer on board the spaceship The Federation, She’s fed up with the new gladiator games the soldiers have started. The line up of injuries is using too much of the time and precious supplies of her medical unit. Captain Drog shows up just when her frustration reaches its peak, but he winds up creating a different kind of frustration for Lucy. Although these two haven’t crossed paths before neither one is about to forget the passions that flare between them. The difference is Lucy has no intention of acting on them, while Drog can’t wait for a chance to get her alone again. Lucy’s plan to avoid the too sexy Captain Drog is foiled when she has to report a theft of narcotics from her medical unit. Now the investigation is official and the Chief Medical Officer and Captain will need to cooperate to solve the crime even as their feelings for each other intensify.
Lucy’s Lover is a short story that packs a lot of action and a well developed plot into its brief format. There is action, mystery and the sensuality levels are right off the charts! Every time Lucy and Drog get together the sparks fly with intense, inventive sex play and passion. Lucy is a no nonsense professional woman but we get to see the dimension to her character with her oh so normal self doubts and insecurities. Captain Drog could have been just a handsome, cocky cartoon hero but Arianna Hart rounds out his character showing his deep ethics, humor and his concern for the men under his command and for Lucy. Not to say he didn’t take advantage of every opportunity to indulge his lust for the red-haired doctor who captured his attentions. The crime investigation insures they have to work together but the dangers they encounter make each of them realize there’s more between them than simpl! e lust. Still we wonder right up to the action packed ending if these two will get together for good. If you like smart sexy futuristics with suspense and plenty of steam this is a Quickie you won’t want to miss!
