Pull of Gravity [Format Kindle]

MY REVIEW
I was gifted this e-book by the author in exchange for my honest opinion and review.
The cover is really kind of pretty, I love the purple feathers which represent the Cupidian race of people with their wings and feathers and there's the Cupidis planet in the background which is their peaceful planet.
Nike is in charge of a mission to take a look at the cupidian's and their planet. She then needs to report back to her commander giving the information and decide how best to attack and take over the planet for the people from earth to settle on instead.
Edonys is the Prince, he is about to decide on which female will become his mate. Once he has decided his father can pass away in peace.
When Nike and Edonys meets everything changes. Can Nike stop a war against the cupidian's? Could Edony's have found his mate?
Once again this novella is well written and has plenty of things happening to hold your interest.
So did I enjoy it? Yes Would I recommend it? As a short read, yes. Would I read more by Cherie Reich? Yes

This novella is also available with the other two novellas prior to it in an all-in-one book.

Being stuck on a ship for so long, Nike wants nothing more than to have her feet on solid ground and breathe in fresh air. She aches for a place to call home, and upon seeing Cupidis, its beauty captures her heart. This is where she wants to be. First, though, she and her crew must prepare the way for her people to eliminate the aliens already living on the planet. The Cupidians haven't known war in centuries. Their king is near death, and their spoiled prince, Edonys must find a mate very soon. The gorgeous prince didn't expect to feel such a pull toward one of his human guests. Nike thought it would be simple to conquer these peaceful people, but she, too, feels something unexpected. Will she make the strike to help win the planet for the humans or will she follow her heart?

This is my favorite book in Cherie's Gravity trilogy. It's not as dark and gritty as the previous two. It's full of wonder and colorful imagery that made me fall in love with Cupidis as Nike did. Cherie's descriptions are beautifully written and left me in awe. Nike is a strong and unique heroine. She's more a tough Sigourney Weaver type than the typical softer romantic lead. Edonys was a surprise to me too. He has every opportunity to be vain and arrogant, but he has so much heart. I love that the relationship grows organically outside of their duties to their peoples.

In the first two installments of the Gravity trilogy, we saw terrifying prisons, deadly chases, and fearsome creatures. Pull of Gravity takes you to a different level of science-fiction intrigue. There's espionage, subterfuge, and treachery. I was holding my breath at parts and didn't realize it. Cherie outdid herself with the final novella in the series. Goodness knows I couldn't resist the pull of her incredible storytelling!
