"Jessie Mihalik is an author to watch."--Ilona Andrews, #1 New York Times bestselling author To save her brother and protect her family's future, a powerful princess must join forces with a dashing man from her past in this thrilling space adventure, the second novel in the Consortium Rebellion trilogy. As the dutiful daughter of High House von Hasenberg, Bianca set aside her personal feelings and agreed to a political match arranged by her family, only to end up trapped in a loveless, miserable marriage. When her husband unexpectedly dies, Bianca vows never to wed again. Newly independent, she secretly uses her wealth and influence to save other women stuck in dire circumstances. Information is power and Bianca has a network of allies and spies that would be the envy of the 'verse--if anyone knew about it. When her family's House is mysteriously attacked, Bianca's oldest brother, the heir to House von Hasenberg, disappears. Fearful for her brother's life, the headstrong Bianca defies her father and leaves Earth to save him. Ian Bishop, the director of House von Hasenberg security--and Bianca's first love--is ordered to find and retrieve the rebellious woman. Ian is the last man Bianca wants to see. To evade capture, she leads him on a merry chase across the universe. But when their paths finally collide, she knows she must persuade him to help her. Bianca will do anything to save her sibling, even if it means spending time alone on a small ship with the handsome, infuriating man who once broke her heart. As the search takes them deep into rival House Rockhurst territory, Bianca must decide if she can trust Ian with the one piece of information that could destroy her completely . . .… (altro)

MY GIRL BIANCA. Kicking (cyber) butt while getting the guy and teaching her rather awful father he's REALLY AWFUL.

Though not the worst (looking at you Silva Syndicate).

This picks up a bit of time after Loch & Ada's adventures in POLARIS RISING. While they're off being happily banished to APD Zero, Bianca has been trying to track down what the heck is going on with the Rockhursts.

There's a minor mystery here, about who was targeting the House and why, but largely the focus is on the hell Bianca endured at her atrocious husband's hands.

I loved Bianca in PR; favorite character hands down. She came in with her sly cutting words, killer heels and no nonsense attitude and it was love. And friends, she brings that same energy here and I loved her here as well. ( )

The first book was very good- parts of this book had potential.. but it felt like I was reading a bad rewritten version of the first book. The ending was drawn out but rushed at the same time. Majority of scenes from this book is like she copy and pasted them from the first book and changed characters names. I also found it difficult to follow parts of the book when they were sneaking around doing recon. What annoyed me SIGNIFICANTLY for some reason was at the end when someone is telling Bianca about an employee of the house that died her internal dialogue said something like “I made a side note to set up a fund for his sister” like shut up! So irrelevant.. I’m so angry I pushed thru this book and now writing a review on it.

3 stars on the app cause I’m not that much of an a-hole- but for real I rate it 1 star ⭐️ ( )

This is probably going to sound odd but I honestly thought I was reading a book about the main character of the first book. They seemed too similar at first? I don’t know. It took me a while to realize that this book is from the perspective of her sister.

I'd had higher expectations for the relationship than what I got. The emotions were...better, but all of the male love interests in this series end up sounding exactly the same, somehow. It's a real shame. ( )

Jessie Mihalik has created something truly wonderful with this series. Polaris Rising was excellent, but somehow this one was even better. Perhaps it's because I was already accustomed to the worlds Mihalik has built, with warring Houses and FTL drives and nanobots, but I think it's because of Bianca.

Bianca was experimented on by her abusive late husband (so glad he's dead) and has been left with the ability to mentally receive and decode any passing wireless transmissions. She's like a hacker leveled all the way up. This ability comes at a steep price, however. She deals with what is essentially chronic pain, her nanobots don't heal her as well anymore, and she's lost a huge amount of weight due to incapacitating nausea. Basically massive migraines and oh girl, I feel you.

Yet Bianca is also that woman who knows how to use social graces and relationships to gather information. She appears weak when it's to her advantage, but also escapes her father's order of house arrest, steals a ship, and travels the 'verse to buy intel and save her kidnapped brother. SHE IS EVERYTHING.

Her love interest, Security Director Ian Bishop, is also pretty great, but he's there in a supporting role. He never tries to fix Bianca, he's just there to help her out while also glowering at her for making him chase her around the 'verse instead of doing his job. He's been pining for her for YEARS and there's a lot of tension and a delicious slow burn.

I cannot recommend this series, and particularly this book, enough.

Please note that another Love in Panels reviewer, Amy, covered this book for us. Her review has content warnings and lives over here: www.loveinpanels.com/prose/aurora-blazing ( )
