Deceiving the Corsair by Ruby Dixon
4.0
After the brutality of [b:Enticed By The Corsair|39868949|Enticed By The Corsair (Corsairs, #3)|Ruby Dixon|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1523952496l/39868949._SY75_.jpg|61313966], the simplistic relationship between Zoey and Sentorr was such a welcome relief!
I'm also a sucker for stories about hidden identities/long-distance romances so long as it isn't dragged out too long, which this one wasn't, so this worked for me. I didn't find the relationship boring or simplistic--in fact, I thought Sentorr and Zoey complemented each other well; I liked that they had differences in personality (Zoey's brash tomboyishness vs. Sentorr's controlled, militaristic introversion) but similar interests they could bond over (navigation, exploration).
As in most of her novels featuring the "last" character(s) linking up, Dixon took the opportunity to set the groundwork for her next books. Along with Zoey came the va Sithai brothers, an old Homeworld bloodline turned space pirates. Of course, where there are more big, blue, unmated aliens, there are more books waiting in the wings to rectify that travesty :) [b:Adiron|56376483|Adiron (Corsair Brothers #1)|Ruby Dixon|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1608604531l/56376483._SY75_.jpg|87844368] is a continuation of this story, though some of the Risdaverse novels seem to take place between Corsairs # 4 and Corsair Brothers # 1 -- readers staunchly devoted to progressing through the story chronologically (or as close to it as possible) should be advised of this before they plunge into Adiron's book.
