"I loved Heart Thief! This is what futuristic romance is all about. Robin D. Owens writes the kind of futuristic romance we’ve all been waiting to read; certainly the kind that I’ve been waiting for. She provides a wonderful, gripping mix of passion, exotic futuristic settings and edgy suspense. If you’ve been waiting for someone to do futuristic romance right, you’re in luck, Robin D. Owens is the author for you."—Jayne Castle
"The complex plot and rich characterizations, not to mention the sexy passion...make this a must-read...I just wish Robin D. Owens wrote faster. I hope she’s got a huge pile of ideas for future Celtan stories, and I for one can’t wait to go back."—The Romance Reader
"Owens spins an entrancing tale...Although the setting is fresh and totally captivating, it is the well-developed characters, both human and animal, that make this story memorable. Crafty villains, honorable, resourceful protagonists, and sentient pets drive the plot of this fast-paced, often suspenseful romantic adventure. As have others before her (e.g., Anne McCaffrey, Marion Zimmer Bradley), Owens has penned a stunning futuristic tale that reads like fantasy and is sure to have crossover appeal to both sf and fantasy fans."—Library Journal
"Owens has crafted a fine romance that is also a successful science fantasy yarn with terrific world building."—Booklist
"A tremendous science fiction romance that affirms what many fans thought after reading the prequel (HeartMate): that Robin D. Owens is one of the sub-genre’s giant stars. The story line is faster than the speed of light, but more important is this world’s society seems so real that psychic powers feel genuine...[a] richly textured other planetary romance."—BookBrowser
