This book blindsided me in the best possible way. I wasn’t expecting to fall for a story that opens with a man waking up alone in a spaceship—but here we are. There’s a bit of mystery, a lot of science, and a surprising amount of heart… which is impressive for a book where one of the main characters isn’t even human.

Ryland Grace is an accidental astronaut with a snarky streak and a heart of gold. He’s alone in space (for reasons I won’t spoil), and the weight of the entire planet rests on his very-unqualified shoulders. Watching him puzzle through each challenge—while recovering memories piece by piece—had me totally hooked. It’s like a sci-fi escape room… except the room is a spaceship and Earth explodes if you fail.

Heat: 🔥🔥

Let me just say, if you're looking for historically accurate regency romance, bless your heart and move along. But if you’ve ever wanted to read a book where lady pirates live in flying mansions and casually lob grenades between tea services, then congratulations, you’re my kind of unhinged—and The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels is your new favorite fever dream.

Our heroine, Cecilia, is all prim manners and deadly precision—like if Mary Poppins joined a fight club. She’s been raised by a league of proper piratical aunties who judge everything from posture to pistol technique. And she is done with everyone’s nonsense, especially when it interferes with her schedule or threatens her reading time.

I love this world. Truly. Jessie Mihalik has built a universe that hits all my sci-fi romance buttons—spaceships, political maneuvering, badass heroines, and rogues with hidden hearts of gold. The series is fun, clever, and richly layered. But if I’m being honest, this installment didn’t quite hit the same as the others.

Part of that is on me. I read the first two books back to back, and I was fully immersed. But by the time this one came around, I’d let too much time pass and most of the plot details from book two had drifted off into the void. The emotional weight just didn’t carry the same punch when I couldn’t remember what everyone was mad about. Totally a me problem, not a Mihalik problem.
