Southern Syfy has arrived in this “Dukes of Hazzard meets Buck Rogers” adventure tale.In a future spawned from the headlines of today, enter a world of contrasts, where Man has conquered the heavens, while at the same time becoming quickly obsolete on his own world. A world where science and technology brings exotic fantasy creatures to life … for the right price. Where hot rod rockets and … and redneck “spacers” rule the skies.
Tiger Thomas was a rocket pilot during the Great Space Rush, when humankind colonized the Solar System in the twenty-second century. Now, all that’s winding down, and so has the demand for old spacers like him. He makes a living now doing whatever jobs he can find, legal and otherwise.
Returning to his hometown of Huntsville, Tiger looks forward to a relaxing weekend back on Earth. Who knows, he might even re-kindle that old flame with Lulah Carter, “the one that got away” years ago. A dinner and dancing … who knows what might happen.
But when he rescues a genetically engineered, anthropomorphic fox girl from a clan of vicious, hillbilly thugs, his homecoming quickly turns sour.
Somebody wants this sexy, furry darling back. BAD! And they’ll do whatever it takes, including killing anyone who stands in their way. Tiger and newfound companion soon find themselves on the run from a deadly, high-tech unit of bounty hunters. And if that ain’t bad enough, revelations about this beautiful vixen starts to disturb him. Is she really a victim? Is there more to her than just a pretty face and a bushy tail? Is there something else? A part hidden and dangerous, waiting for the right time to manifest itself? And with all that to ponder on, there’s also one other small problem … he finds himself irresistibly attracted to her.
Oh, and then there’s that whole Lulah thing again. As if things weren’t complicated enough.
Well, so much for a relaxing weekend.

‘Spacer’ Tiger Thomas was just planning on a quiet weekend, but a surprise fell in his lap. The little fox is grateful for his rescue. Lulah Carter, Tiger’s old flame, is hoping to get together with him. Things don’t go as planned when hires guns chase after the fox and Tiger.
Not really a reader of sci-fi books but I really liked this one. It’s set in the future but Tanner “Tiger” portrays a good old southern boy in a time full of technology. I really enjoyed his time of reminiscing about the moments he had with his father and uncle. I also enjoy the aspect of half human half animal hybrid characters as it adds a flair to the story that I obviously don’t get when reading regular romance novels. There are a lot of political references, disdain for higher society, and of course lots of action haha. I’ll definitely be looking into more books in this genre as my interest has been sparked. 🙂
New to me author. I’m not new to sci-fi romance and this was probably closer to sci-fi than romance even though there was sex and other aspects. Tiger was a bit of a “dog” if you know what I mean but he was a nice guy for the most part. This is different from what I’ve read before which is good because more of the same is boring. Sometimes the dialogue got a bit much and kinda lost a little of the story for me. I didn’t love the rape scene of our poor fox though. A warning needed to happen there. So it’s not something I can read again. Personal reasons which for people sensitive to those kinds of things I need to be forewarned. Overall an ok read. It doesn’t end on HEA but a for now. It’s not finished I don’t think though.
What’s not to love? Tiger is a pilot who is trying to save a woman who is a half fox lab experiment. The people that created her now want her dead. I loved all the futuristic details, the author’s take on our world way into the future. Since it is so futuristic, you will see alot of political references but the author is setting the scene for a new world. I really enjoyed all the action and chemistry between the characters. I need the second book immediately!!!
Left me anticipating more.
Tanner “Tiger” Thomas is a true space cowboy. After his latest job in deep space is over he is returning to his hometown of Huntsville for some much-needed R&R. Nothing like returning to your roots and reminiscing on all that could have been. It’s time for a little let loose fun and a hopeful tryst with the woman he will always love, “Tallulah Carter.” He just has to attend to some business now that he is on terra firma.
First order of business is heading down to Blackwater to meet his long-time friend Odelle “Cutter” Hawkins. When Gideon, Junior and Rayford Tuttle happen upon the GenetX truck with two armed drivers all they see is dollar signs. They weren’t expecting a genetically engineered anthropomorphic sexy fox girl. Fighting for her life she attempts to claw her way to safety, but these hillbilly thugs have some disturbing plans in mind. Her whimpers and struggle don’t go unheard, but patrons of the shady club walk by without offering help. Tiger’s southern cowboy bleeding heart would never allow him to walk past a person in need.
This encounter puts him in the crosshairs of the much-reviled Gideon Tuttle and his sons Rayford and Junior. After a full-on confrontation the Tuttle’s learn that there is more than meets the eye when dealing with this old spacer. Tiger is walking away with the “girl” and the glory, with Cutter at the ready to assist in any way that he can. Tiger never expected that this little vixen would have such a powerful hold on him, but he finds himself launched into an all-out adventure and an unexpected erotic affair.
Looking for a way out with a troop of ASA agents lighting a fire under him Tiger calls in his genius friend Jocko to help expose who exactly they are dealing with. In doing this they crack open more then they asked for. Jocko is in full blown security mode and the two friends and Amber the sexy fox girl are in full fugitive mode.
There is so much more to Amber than just being some rich guys sex toy. Feelings that she does not understand are beginning to surface and Tiger is left questioning what it all means. Forrest Frost recovery agent and bounty hunter is hot on their trail and hard up on catching them after a few hit and misses. This has become personal and Tiger and his newfound companions are in a dangerous position.
I don’t read much Syfy, but this book had me under the influence. Maybe Amber’s pheromones leapt out of the pages and into the mind of the readers? There was something unique and authentic about the steamy scenes that was incomparable to anything that I have ever read. The writer really made you drink in the story. The characters were well built and the storyline with all it’s futuristic technological pretties was perfectly drawn out. I can’t believe that it was left on such a cliffhanger and I am going to be anticipating the next book
This book has everything!! It is a well written, detailed futuristic,science fiction story that also contains some pretty hot encounters amongst the characters. I recommend this to everyone even if not your normal genre.
Good old boys futuristic action & adventure.
Well written action & adventure. Sad though too. Thinking about our world nearly two hundred years away. Still full of so much backwards wrong thinking. Corruption at all levels so empowered. Depressing perspective.
