Title: Rising the Odds
Author: Lynda K. Scott
Pages: 275
Publisher: Entangled: Select Otherworld
Release date: 2nd February 2015
Blurb from Goodreads:
An act of desperation and the beginning of
seduction...
Spaceship
captain Tara Rowan has her secrets. One is her Rider, Zie—an organic symbiote,
like a living tattoo—that enhances Tara's physical abilities. But Zie is no
ordinary Rider, and Tara can never risk anyone discovering Zie's true origins.
Especially not the sexily dangerous stranger who appears out of nowhere and makes
Tara's pulse race...Except that "Trace Munroe" isn't exactly who he
says he is. He's in fact a Holy Knight, who does everything by the book, and
Tara is his only lead in tracking down a kidnapped princess. And Trace will do
whatever it takes to get that information—including blackmail. But a
blazing attraction to Tara is definitely complicating things...especially when
Trace realizes that following his code of honor means destroying the woman he's
falling for.

3/5 stars
Tara
Rowan, captain of her own spaceship, has a Rider called Zie - an organic
symbiote that looks like a tattoo and enhances Tara's body - and secrets
including her real identity.
Trace
Munroe is a Holy Knight on a mission to track down the missing princess, his
adopted sister.
Trace
intends to use Tara's past to his advantage but he can't ignore the growing
attraction between them.
Riding the
Odds was an intriguing read.
The idea
of Riders was interesting but I would have liked to have had more back story
about them. More information and detail about the spaceports and worlds
mentioned would have been good.
Tara was
likeable as was Trace but Zie was my favourite part of the book - she was funny
and sweet.
The plot
was good overall but I did lose interest in some places.
I liked
the writing style and found it easy to follow.
The
romance was done quite well and didn't seem too rushed.
Overall Riding
the Odds was an intriguing read set in a world that I would like to read more
about.
