Summary: Equal parts steamy interstellar romance and sci-fi adventure, Constance Fay’s FIASCO is a perfect wild romp amidst the stars.
Cynbelline Khaw is a woman of many names. She’s Generosity, a cultist who never quite fit in. She’s Bella, the daughter who failed to save her cousin’s life. And then there’s Cyn, the notorious bounty hunter who spaced a ship of slavers.
She’s exhausted, lonely, and on her very last legs―but then a new client offers her a job she can’t refuse: a bounty on the kidnapper who killed her cousin. All Cyn has to do is partner with the crew of the Calamity, a scouting vessel she encountered when she was living under a previous alias. One tiny little issue, she’s been given an additional deliver the oh-so-compelling medic, Micah Arora, to the treacherous Pierce Family or all her identities will be revealed, putting her estranged family in danger.
Hunting a kidnapper doesn’t usually mean accidentally taking your sexy new target to dinner at your parent’s house, a local mystic predicting you’ll have an increasingly large number of children, or being accompanied by a small flying lizard with a penchant for eating metal, but, as they field investigative hurdles both dangerous and preposterous, Cyn and Micah grow ever closer. When a violent confrontation reveals that everything Cyn thought about her past is wrong, she realizes that she has the power to change her future. The first part of that is making sure that Micah Arora is around to be a part of it.

Review: This is the second book in the series which could be read as a standalone. This book follows Cynbelline who is a bounty hunter on the hunt. I listened to the audiobook version which is something I rarely do but wanted to check it out for this book. I have to say that the narrator did a splendid job narrating this book because I was easily able to focus on the story. I loved the fast pacing of the book and the new conflicts that were in this story. I do have to say that I’m still confused on how this world works and wish there was more world building explanation. This book is told from Cyn’s pov.
Cyn is the FMC of this story and I really enjoyed her character. You don’t often see a woman bounty hunter and I loved how she had a fun side but also a badassery side to her. She developed throughout the book and fell in love with the last person she ever thought she would. There were many side characters in this book but the main was is the medic, Micah. He was a wonderful character who cared for cyn. The romance if forbidden love, forced proximity and slow burn which has some steamy scenes.
The ending was the best part of this book and I loved the way the book ended. It was so well written and the narrator did a fantastic job bringing this story. I recommend checking out this book but start with book 1 to get the full experience of the world.
