Polaris Rising

Polaris Rising, Jessie Mihalik. A het romance novel set in a space opera setting, and it's a *lot* of fun. A space princess captured by bounty hunters teams up with a notorious outlaw; spaceship thefts, blaster battles, and sexy times ensue. You definitely need to like het romance for this, although unlike the standard romance novel we're only ever in the heroine's POV (which meant there was much more objectification of the hero's body than hers), and the action is genuinely good. As is often the case in romance series, this book introduces the couple who will star in the next book, and they seem sufficiently appealing that I'll probably read it.
