Description
Solara Brooks needs a fresh start, someplace where nobody cares about the engine grease beneath her fingernails or the felony tattoos across her knuckles. Still, off-world travel doesn't come cheap, and Solara is left with no choice but to indenture herself in exchange for passage to the outer realm. She just wishes it could have been to anyone besides Doran Spaulding, the rich, pretty-boy quarterback who made her life miserable in school. The tables suddenly turn when Doran is framed for conspiracy on Earth, and Solara cons him into playing the role of her servant on board the Banshee. Given the price on both Doran and Solara's heads, it may just be the safest place in the universe.
It's been a long time since Solara has believed in anyone, and Doran is the last person she expected to trust. But when the Banshee's dangerous enemies catch up with them, Solara and Doran must come together to protect the ship that has become their home—and the eccentric crew that feels like family.

I really liked Melissa Landers "Alienated" series, so I have been looking forward to read "Starflight". Starflight is an interesting space adventure which started really good but kind of lost me throughout the book. It was a nice read with a fast-paced writing style and some interesting setting. Unfortunately there wasn't enough world-building and lacked in a plot which could capture me to the end. It had some parts full of action but also some parts which were dragging and boring. The love story was no surprise but felt too forced for my taste and not like a natural development of a relationship. The characters were ok but none who I will really remember. To be honest I expected more from this book and I am not that curious to read the sequel.
