Capture the Sun

A Novel

By: Jessie Mihalik

Narrated by: Frankie Corzo

Acclaimed author Jessie Mihalik returns with the thrilling conclusion to her Starlight’s Shadow trilogy. An intergalactic thief must join forces with the charming teleporter who stole her last job—and may now be her only hope for saving her former crew.

As a recovery specialist, Lexi Bowen’s jobs typically require more trickery and thievery than honest work. Her former captain might not approve of her flexible morals, but stealing artifacts for rich assholes pays the bills, and Lexi’s had enough of war and death. The FHP left her to die once; she doesn’t plan to give them a chance to finish the job.

Unfortunately, her latest contract takes her to Valovia itself—and right back into the orbit of Nilo Shoren, a Valovian teleporter who already cost her one payday and nearly stole her heart.

Armored against his clever charm, Lexi plans to get in, get the job done, and get out. But when her former crew goes missing in Valovian space, Lexi will have to work with Nilo to figure out what happened—and stop it—before the galaxy’s two superpowers can use the disappearance as an excuse to return to war.

I just didn't like the MC

I didn't care for this book as much as the earlier ones because Lexi annoyed me.

Once everyone was back working together I liked it. There was just way too much angst over the love intrest. I wanted to smack her.

Loved it!

This was a great book, I finished it in one day and have already listened to it again. I loved the character building for both Lexi & Nilo, as they weren't in Eclipse the Moon, it was great to get to know Lexi (I understand Lexi's back and forth battle with feelings and relationships), Nilo (he is my new favorite) and know more about valovian culture besides the life bond. Had more sex scenes which is a huge plus for me. it's bittersweet that the series is over, I would love an Eli novella or book.

Characters

I really liked the narrator, I wish the author would continue the series. So many more good story options.

Lovely entertaining time

Just a fun a adventure and beautiful romance. Good balance of plot, action, romance and spice. This one is very insta lovers and not very deep. Just vibes. I don’t love the narrator-she can get pretty whiney and sounds a little young for some of the female characters at times.

Almost made it through

It’s basically the first two stories again. Amazingly competent yet insecure straight girl meets a rich man with a whole bunch of resources, and refuses to accept their help. Sparks fly, but no one wants to admit anything because too scary even though everyone’s super brave and walks into danger all the time. This books, achingly, handsome, alpha male vows to protect the girl and fails because she stabs her toe or something and they get in a big fight about it and realize they have to trust each other or something.

Like the last book, I just kept wishing that the lead character in this book had a different personality than the lead character in the other two books. Or that the author just wrote all the books from the first characters point of view instead of making three characters that are basically clones of each other with trauma and trust issues
