Adult, sci-fi, romance, mystery
Lucas Grafton has spent the last ten years hunting the Conclave, a secret organization who took everything from him: his wife, his child, his very identity. Now he has a lead—an imminent terrorist attack on London—code-named Descartes.
Born with a genetic illness, Jenna Young has always known she was different. But the unexpected death of her father catapults her into a world of murder and terrorism she never expected. In order to stay alive, she must solve a twenty-five year old mystery—and her only ally a hard bitter man in search or retribution, her only clue the Descartes Highlands, an area on the near side of the moon.
Luke’s need for revenge collides with Jenna’s hunt for the past, and together they must stand against the Conclave. All the while uncovering the truth behind Jenna’s illness, a truth that will make Jenna question her very humanity.
Fast-paced, edgy story about a woman, Jenna, caught up something she had no idea was even possible and a man, Luke, who have been after the Conclave's blood for over decade. At some points, The Descartes Legacy makes reader's heart beat faster and there was times when it seemed impossible for the main characters survive. Croft knows how to write suspense and keep reader on his/her toes while developing character's relationship.
The Descartes Legacy is more mystery and action packed story with underlying romance, and sci-fi themes. There's a couple of steamy scenes and it's visible how Croft writes more romance than anything else. However, mystery and sci-fi themes didn't cause any problems for her as the story flowed forward with a firm pace.
Only thing I felt lacking was Jenna and Luke's relationship's developement. Yes, they had steamy scenes and they fit together perfectly but I yearned more of those little moments they had together. It would have been nice to stop for a couple of more minutes with all that action packed and on the edge of destruction -thing going on.
I liked The Descartes Legacy but it didn't blow my mind, hence the three stars. I recommend this one especially for those who enjoys lots of action with mysteries all around but still wants a little romance and steamy couple.
