My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Usually when I read fantasy, it’s vampires, fairies, and werewolves, so when I say I personally haven’t read about a world like this, I certainly haven’t. I really enjoyed the very unique world that was created.
I made the mistake of having this as a read while away for a wedding, and the only reason it was a mistake was because I didn’t want to put it down. Luckily it was a quick read so I didn’t miss the wedding, but I may have if it wasn’t. The writing pulls you in almost immediately and had me excited and anticipating each page turn.
Operation Pinpoint is such a great introduction to this unique world and hopefully sets the stage for more books in the space rejects series.
I really enjoyed Graf’s writing, and have added a few of her other books to my TBR (to be read) list. If any of her books have the gravitating writing style like this one, I know I won’t be able to put them down.

This has just the right amount of sci-fi, romance, adventure, and suspense. You immediately are drawn to the main characters Ravenna and Dravos. You find yourself rooting for them from the very beginning. I am definitely excited for another book with these characters.

This shorter novel definitely had a bit of a pilot start to it, meaning that it took a bit for things to heat up, but once they did, it was a difficult read to not finish in a day. Ravenna has the obvious disadvantage of being a woman, and there are many in these pages that think less of her because of such, but she has her eyes set on a goal, and will accomplish such, much to their dismay. She needs someone strong, that will worship her for the woman she is, and it appears as though that person, or alien, may be within these pages. Enter Dravos, oh Dravos. He’s been stuck in captivity being poked and prodded for the last five years, and just wants to be free again, to live his own life and find the one that he was told about.

These two need to come together and make things right, so that they both obtain their separate end goals. They’re so different, they’re bound to like each other on some level, you would think. The writing, action, and mystery within these pages make it a worthy novel, in my opinion. Read find out, it’s definitely worth your time if space, action, intergalactic species, and sexy scenes are your thing!

I really enjoyed this book. Its a short read but it is action packed. The author does an amazing job with the characters and the story. As a reader I was completely captivated by the story.
This is the story of Captian Ravenna Joyner and Dravos Trax.

To do this they need the help of a prisoner to search for the ship and crew. The prisoner is a tracker called Dravos.
What Dravos doesn’t realise until its too late is that Ravenna is his fated mate.
When they find the ship and the crew didn’t survive Ravenna and Dravos realised that they need to work together if they have a chance of survival and as the attraction and connection between them grows will Ravenna keep denying the possibility of being Dravos’s fated mate or Will she only give in and realise when it’s too late.

4.5 Stars

 

Operation Pinpoint is the first book in an exciting new series, Space Force Rejects, by Landra Graf. It is a sci-fi romance- a space adventure with plenty of action, danger, drama, intrigue, suspense, mystery, alien races, challenges, agendas, politics, violence, love, loss, humor, banter, finding love unexpectedly, and as expected from Ms. Graf, some incredible world building.
I loved Ravenna and Dravos- and even though they were thrust together under uneasy circumstances, they really were perfect for each other. Both what the other needed to heal and become whole again. I really felt for what each of them experienced, and was rooting for them from the beginning. I was completely invested in them and the outcome of their story.
I really can’t wait to continue the series!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Landra Graf!

Operation Pinpoint (Space Force Rejects Book 1) by Landra Graf

Operation Pinpoint is a wonderfully written Sci-Fi/Romance that is a fast paced short story but once you start reading there’s no putting it down until you’ve finished. This authors style of writing and her attention to detail along with fully developed characters make for a wonderful story. This is a story about Ravenna and Dravos , she’s on a mission to rescue her love no matter the cost and he’s on his on mission which is to find the missing Space Force Vessel. Can these two complete their missions? I don’t want to give away to much so I’ll say this I highly recommend reading this action packed short story to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Loved this book! I didn’t see Ravenna as an “ice bitch” at all, not like the other guys on her team always said. I saw the reverse, and saw them as being childish and arrogant. The characters are all nicely developed and the whole or universe in which they live in is a fun concept. The thought and time it took to develop these ideas blew my mind. Dravos, this poor guy has been through it, but I love how he knew he had a connection to Ravenna, and she to him, even though neither wanted to admit it at first. The adventure they go on together to save Ravenna’s lover, all they encounter and go through is very engaging. I could not put this book down, it is short, but packed with romance, adventure, double crossing and action. This book painted every scene vividly into my mind and I look forward to more, especially a story involving Bethel and Tract.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have ever read by Landra Graf and honestly, I had no idea what I was getting into. The cover and synopsis were interesting, giving me questions on what and how things happened. It took me about ten minutes to get hooked into the story, the world and characters made me curious how things worked. Captain Ravenna Joyner is a Space Force Special Ops commando. Dravos Trax is a Hirudian, ex Space Force member and now prisoner. And her scent calls to him and what he was foretold when he came of age on his home planet.

Going back and forth between Ravenna and Dravos’ POV this book will surprise you and keep your heart racing in anticipation of what will happen next. Ravenna’s lover Yve is scientist, and her ship went missing, determined to rescue her Ravenna weasels her way into the recovery mission, with one catch, she will have to report to her nemesis Captain Rothschild. Accepting the terms for the chance to find Yve, she goes to the Mothership prison to meet Rothschild and see the “tracker” meant to aid in the mission to find the missing ship. Dravos has been held captive for 5 horrible years as a prisoner and science test subject in the Space Force. He is more than double the average size of other males of his species thanks to the experiments. Instantly within seeing and hearing each other for the first time they both have a pull within them a desire for the other that they try to ignore. Finding the ship Yve has been murdered along with the others on her ship, two escape pods are missing with the possible murder. Though her heart mourns for Yve, she finds it increasingly harder and harder to resist Dravos. Dravos on the other hand refuses to be bonded to someone whose heart is claimed by another. To explain something, she doesn’t understand Ravenna blames the kill chip implanted in Dravos for the pheromone signature that is linking them, claims once the chip is out, he can drop the act and be free if he chooses not needing to pretend anymore to gain favor with the one holding the code.

What will happen if Dravos dies on the table getting the chip out? Will Ravenna still desire him? Will Ravenna finally accept Dravos and her feelings for him with it out? The author is incredible Operation Pinpoint is the most original thing I have ever read, her characters, her world everything. If you love something original and new with some spice this is the book for you, I can’t wait for the next book and to see where the story will go next.

I am not normally a Sci-Fi genre reader but for some reason this book called to me. To find out that Dravos believes that Ravenna is his “mate” and that she is in love with another, which is why they are on this mission is intriguing. Reading on to find out what happens in this triangle of love and lust was very much worth it. This story will keep your attention. While it is short and a quick read, it will keep you turning pages and leave you wanting more. Really good story and I will probably pick up more like it. Always try new things. You may surprise yourself and enjoy the new experience.

Sci-Fi Enemy to lovers
I was apprehensive but ended up pleasantly surprised by this book. This is a hold your breath adventure interwoven with romance, betrayal and suspense. The unique world building and characterisation are well done and there is even a ‘fated’ mate storyline thrown in. I enjoyed Ravena’s character she was strong willed, courageous and has a shell around her. Davros is the ultimate sensitive and needs a strong partner by his side. This is a great start to a series and I am looking forward to seeing where the author takes Ravena and Davros’ story.

A Sci-fi fated love romantic story with loads of adventure. This story is short and sweet with plenty of chemistry between the two main characters. It’s the first time I’ve read of a space vampire, but who says vampires can’t be aliens. It works well in this story. The journey with loss and hopelessness leads to trustint one another. Love between the two, growing underneath betrayal, grief and pain.

Ravenna has to be in the search and rescue team of Perseus. After getting Admiral Penchant to assign her to the team, he then drops the bomb that she will be under Captain Rothschild’s command. She follows the order. She has to find her love, Yve. Yve was one scientist on the missing ship and the only light in Ravenna’s life. When she arrives at the Mothership Prisoner Holding Facility, she meets up with Rothschild, Kuchi, and two other commandos. The deputies bring in a yellow-eyed Hirudan Tracker and release him. They gave the huge tracker a human prisoner, causing everyone but Ravenna to feel terrified. They give Ravenna a termination code to a chip embedded in Dravos. If Dravos becomes uncontrollable, the code would kill him. Having fed, Dravos is willing to go and Ravenna leads him to the ship. Ravenna feels odd around Dravos, and the feeling is mutual. When they find Perseus, a message comes across. Ravenna and Dravos are searching the ship. Everyone still aboard the ship is dead, including Yve. Rothschild announces he is going to blow up the ship to finally get rid of Ravenna. Dravos saves Ravenna into an escape pod despite her desperate attempt to die alongside Yve. A jolt shows that a larger ship has locked onto the pod. Is it Rothschild? Is it an enemy space alien who wants to kill or eat them?

This is not my normal genre for reading, but the plot line was intriguing enough to give it a try. I didn’t know what to expect from this book but I am glad that I picked it up. Short but with adventure to keep you enjoying the story from start to finish. Captain Ravenna is on a mission to rescue her love at any cost. This includes partnering with an untrustworthy alien named Dravos. Dravos is on his own mission to find the missing Space Force vessel. The way their stories connect while searching to accomplish their missions will draw you in. If you are looking for a new sci-fi read with fated romance then this is the book for you.

This book literally had it all…romance, raw characters, action, alien races, non stop suspense, you name it and you got it! The book was a non stop action thrill ride for me, that I did not want to get off!

Great character development. The story brought on a lot of intrigue as I read. The action was spot on. Enjoyed the characters, Ravenna and Dravos, they were raw and real as ones can get. Loved their attraction but also their much equipped dislike for one another! They were very well written, and were real as ones would want and could hope! I enjoyed the story line and their task at hand. The whole writing was well done, and really felt you right in the middle of it all, and in the world in which the story took place! Loved it!

Compelling story line and complex build up of characters. Enjoyed it all the way through! Highly recommend this author, and this book specifically! Neither should be passed up! Must read! I devoured this book!

I have been a on bit of a science fiction, paranormal romance kick with fate/mate bonds recently so Operation Pinpoint fit right in. It is a brand new world and this intriguing story is full of murder and danger, adventure and a little romance. This tale is a short story but is full of action that packs a punch. It is easy to imagine this journey with these lovable quirky characters that Landra gave life to.

Dravos is no longer what he was. The had changed him and now he can’t go home. He soon finds himself on a mission with his fated one but her heart beats for another. But first they have to survive. Could he ever be the she turns to?

Ravena is kickarse, sassy and independent and has always had to survive prove herself. On a mission to find what she loves and with her heart in tatters she must help the one who will change her world if they survive.

This is a fun story that should not be missed by those who enjoy this genre. Even if you don’t, I am sure you will become a fan once you have read Landra’s work.

I love sci fi/fantasy/paranormal. Ravena is pretty badass. She’s been in the Space Force a long time. She’s had to put up attitude and having to prove herself. She’s done a lot and is now trying to get Dravos, a space vampire (I love this, a first for me). He’s stuck as an experiment in the lab. Not really a new twist, but one you don’t see much, she’s the heroine, out to rescue. She’s strong, hard and has the courage. Dravos is soft, weak (not quite the word but closest I can do), and in need of a good woman to rescue him to keep him in check. He can’t let his vampire side come out or they will kill him. He’ll bring out her softer side and she’ll bring out his harder side. It’s a really fun story. Well-written with lot’s of action and drama. The characters help pull it all together. The flow is just right. I’m very excited this is the beginning of a series. I can’t wait for the next one to come out.

This alien tracker has finally found his mate, but how can he claim her when she loves another?

Captain Ravenna Joyner has one mission: rescue her missing lover. She’ll ruin every ounce of her credibility to save the one person who made her universe brighter, even partner with a bloodthirsty alien who can’t be trusted.

Dravos Trax has one mission: find the missing Space Force vessel Perseus. If he follows through, his prison sentence will be commuted. Only he doesn’t expect to find his mate in a human who is in love with someone else.

When the ship is located, the occupants are found dead, including Ravenna’s lover. But, there’s no time to mourn, as the other Space Force Ops commandos betray Dravos and Ravenna to cover up the murders, putting their lives in jeopardy. They’ll have to put aside their fears and stow this simmering passion between them to find a way to gain their freedom. Though the chase for answers only leaves more questions, and the commandos won’t stop until all loose ends are tied.

Landra Graf has always been a sucker for stories where true love conquers all. She believes in the inspiration and joy the written word can bring. Add in her personal mottos of ‘whatever it takes’ and ‘better to be busy than bored’ and she’s two steps from overload. She writes romance with the goal of granting happily ever afters to everyone, fiction or not.

When not writing, readers can find Landra reviewing books, cooking up a storm, deeply immersed in a mad game of Scrabble or Rummy variation, and searching for moments to laugh and smile through it all.

She lives in the wilds of Northwest Arkansas with her partner and two children.
