Staring down death is easy. Being trapped on a small ship with five tempting men… Not so much.I’m the best damn pilot and smuggler in the galaxy. My specialty is messing up shit for the tyrants who conquer and destroy worlds. When I land a secret mission that could end the centuries of war, it comes with a team of five rebels and traitors—including my ex, who’s acting like he didn’t betray me … who’s acting like he didn’t betray me in my darkest moment.
I’ll have to rely on these men to survive and save the galaxy when my greatest foe returns. But getting close to any of them is a blueprint for disaster that will doom this mission—and my heart.
Can I save the galaxy without losing myself in the process?
A Star Pilot’s Heart is a reverse harem space opera, featuring a bad-ass heroine, sexy rebels, and gripping space battles. It’s a combination of Firefly and Star Wars with a RH twist.
This is the first in a medium-burn series (the harem grows one man at a time, but there is sex in each book).

Fearless Rebel is the first book in Eva Delaney’s and Vivi Clarke’s Star Pilot: Space Opera reverse harem series. Cali is one of the Uprising’s best smuggler pilots. She feels that she does things better alone. Smuggling is a lonely job, but when she’s tasked with a mission that involves leading up a crew with her ex and a group of men she knows nothing about she balks and refuses. Even when told it’ll cost her the only thing she has left she stands her ground and says no. Her pride won’t let her stand down though so she decides to utilitize deceit to show that she can do this…without a crew. Because she works better alone. Wild ride ahead.
I love a good space opera novel and throw in reverse harem romance and I’m beyond sold. LOL! The problem though is Cali’s attitude. I don’t mind sassy characters and females with fire, but good grief! For me, this woman had arrogance and ego to swallow a galaxy like a black hole. Confidence is one thing, but arrogance is a whole ‘nother ballgame and it made me have to put this book down and step away for a few days. While Rux is right up there with her in the arrogance department, he calls her out a lot on stuff, which makes him a bit more palatable. I say that because no one questions her on anything and I find it strange especially when she was so adament about refusing the mission in the first place.
All of the characters, except for probably Po and Hamal have attitudes to rival each other. After I had taken some time away from this book and came back to it, it was more bearable. Cali’s attitude and ego takes a backseat for awhile, but it’s never truly gone. Just always waiting in the wings to come out and parade itself around. I like that we get to the root of her issues towards Orion though. It helps put her in a different light.
There is a lot going on in this book, and the main focus/storyteller is Cali. The storyline is engaging and I enjoyed the book overall. I do have one serious question for the authors though…can I have Mr. Pancake? LOL! He’s so cute! I love him! The variety of characters the authors give makes this story interesting. I really did enjoy this book, but Cali’s attitude really detracted from the storyline for me. I think it needed to be taken down a notch. For that reason I’m taking away a star and rating this book 4 out of 5 stars. I am looking forward to seeing where this story goes and what happens next with these characters.
I really enjoyed this first book in this series. I will say this much it’s clearly a very slow build but I don’t mind it let you focus on the story on Captain Cal and her crew and they growing bond. With the add adventure, humor, and action made for a helluva read. I can’t wait to get my hand on the next book in series. As always my reviews are totally voluntarily and no monetary compensation was received and the opinions I have expressed are completely my own.
I’m really like this series, with a female pilot and lots of hunky men on her ship, a fun and well written book looking forward to reading book two,
Cal is a very intriguing characters and the rest of her Crew as well i really enjoyed reading this first book to this series and cant wait to read the next one
I really enjoyed this book, just the right mix of adventure, mystery and a touch of romance.
Cali left the air force defeated and feeling abandoned after a failed mission, to become a smuggler for The Uprising. She’s pulled back in when a misfit crew is given the task to locate and retrieve an agent with vital information. Nothing quite goes to plan and the crew are constantly bickering between each other.
I mostly liked Cali, she was fearless and brave, but considering she had been a commander, she made some badly thought out decisions.
There is quite a bit of mystery in the characters, each one seems to have their own secrets, none of them trust each other enough to share, and are unsure if they can work as a team.
It was interesting to see the dynamics as they spent time together. Definitely had a Star Wars kind of feel to the story. Still loads more secrets to come out and I’m looking forward to the next book.
An out of this world romance
Cal, a space smuggler, works for the Rebellion fighting the Supremacy at every chance she gets. As the story progresses a difficult mission is given, a choice is taken away, and getting through the journey alive may be easier than everyone getting along. Eva Delaney and Vivi Clarke created an out of this world romance with a variety of characters to choose from. I wonder what is in store for the next leg of the journey.
I read this book with my Kindle Unlimited subscription and I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.
I’m not usually a big Sci-fi fan but I’m so glad I chose to read this book. The story kept my interest from start to finish and I really enjoyed. I would definitely recommend.
Cali is a great character she is strong but but sensitive. The guys are all different in their own ways and she gets them all. This is my first Sci Fi and it won’t be my last I loved the storyline and can not wait until the next book.
I really enjoyed this sci-fi reverse harem story. The world building is great, the characters are engaging, and it’s filled with plenty of action and steamy romance to keep you entertained and turning the pages. I’m excited for the next book to find out what happens with Cali and her men.
I’m not a huge sci-fi fan but this book grabbed my attention early on and wouldn’t let go. Plenty of action and steamy hot romance. The world building is excellent and the character development is very good for a first book in a series. Lots more story to tell so I look forward to seeing where Delaney takes us next. Definitely recommend this one.
