Trust and Treachery by Charissa DufourMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Fun Space Opera Romance
I’d probably give this 3.5 ⭐️ if I could.
I’d not come across this author before but when the free book offer came up I read the description and thought I’d give it a go. I’m glad I did because it was a fun read.
Bit is an indentured servant, who was sold to pay off her father’s debts when she was 5 years old. Now at age 22, she still owes 1,000,000 credits on her debt and never expects to pay it off. She’s already had six owners but she’s never been passed over as a gambling debt before.
She is taken by an young and attractive man to a space freighter. Space travel is not something undertaken lightly by the public, though there are colonies. The man who won her is a pilot on his brother’s freighter and Bit will be the only woman with a crew of 16 men.
I like that Bit is sort of naive about things that would normally involve free will, such as relationships, but wary and cynical about things such as personal safety and the tempers of powerful men.
The men on the ship are interesting and there is a good mix of attitudes towards Bit, which gives balance.
The book is a short enjoyable read, and I’ll probably pick up the next book in the series, to see what happens next.
