Unknown Futures (1 Night Stand Series) [Formato Kindle]

Jewel was attacked at the age of sixteen that left her permanently scarred. When not giving what some guy wanted, he threw acid in her face and now she feels like a monster. So to feel some kind of connection, she applies to Madam Evangeline's 1Night Stand service. But the service sends her to a station...in space. This of course doesn't make her feel better because she thinks it means no humans would want her. Flavia or V is one of only five humans lucky enough to be sent to space. But she wishes for more. That is until Jewel arrives and V will be her guide. V is disappointed that Jewel has a date and doesn't know if she can persuade her otherwise.

This is my very first GLBT story. So I want to thank Jessica (@Mark Of the Stars ) even more for making it such a beautiful and erotic experience, I fell head over heels for these characters especially Jewel. She has been through so much. I remember reading one of Jessica's guest post that she had of Jewel and her father. It is truly obvious that Jewel felt abandoned. I loved how things blossomed between V and Jewel even though Jewel didn't think she was worthy because of her scars. I love that V slowly but surely takes Jewel out of her comfort zone and shows her to enjoy life no matter what planet she is on. V had a real strong personality and confidence and seeing her help Jewel feel the same way was just beautiful.

The plot of this book isn't really revealed until the very end. It does take you by surprise and it put a big smile on my face. You are kept guessing where things will go and I am happy it had such a wonderful ending. I love how the story develops. Just the idea of being sent to space to work and live is very exciting. I love that even though this is a short story, the romance builds and isn't absolutely instant. I wish the characters scenes together were a little longer, but still, I can't complain.

Some complaints however. I wish they really revealed their feelings for each other. I just love it when they say it to each other and they didn't in this. You know they love each other, true, but still. I would have liked to have experienced the world that was built a little longer as well. This isn't so much of a complaint, but more that I wish it was longer. Jessica always comes up with amazing sci-fi worlds and I really loved what she gave us in this story. I wish I could have seen more of it. It was breathtaking.

Overall, I highly recommend this if you want a sexy, short read. Jessica has once again given us an original and beautiful love story that truly puts a smile on your face and sticks with you. It is a lovely read with Jessica amazing sci-fi attitude. Definitely worth reading.

I enjoyed Unknown Futures very much. A F/F erotic romance with a stream of sweetness woven all the way through it. Jewel was damaged but longed for love, Flavia was gentle and caring. I love romances with characters who are good people--I can believe they got their happy Ever After from their 1 Night Stand.

The Sci-fi elements were fun and imaginative and gave the romance a cool setting.

I really liked Unknown Futures by Jessica Subject. It was tasteful, yet highly erotic and it handled the relationship between two women wonderfully. I like the highly unusual characters in the story and there is one scene that had me laughing out loud, it was great.

Jewel has contacted Madame Evangeline for a one-night stand because she was left scarred after a horrible incident in high school. Since that time she has isolated herself, feeling that everyone is staring at her and that she is nothing but a freak. She's heard of Madame Evangeline's supposedly wonderful matchmaking abilities and after another terrible day marked by stares she applies for her service. Madame Eve has found the perfect mate for others maybe, just maybe, she can do it for Jewel too.

V, the other woman in our story has a most unusual occupation - she works at a space station/resort where different species come to get away from it all. She hasn't been back to Earth since she took her assignment - it's a lifetime placement - and she is taken with Jewel immediately. Not only is she a fellow Earthling, but she's also just a few years younger than V.

Jewel announces to V that she's on the station for some mysterious date the next night, so V tries to fight the attraction she feels for Jewel, but some things are too big to be overcome and bit-by-bit she finds herself falling for everything Jewel is. V arranges for a night of home cooked Earth food, clubbing and hopefully romance. All she knows is she wants to be with Jewel.

Two characters from another of Jessica's books, Celestial Seduction, make a cameo appearance on the space station which was a pleasant surprise in more ways than one. I enjoyed this brief but uplifting encounter with two characters I had previously come to care about.

The only thing I wished would have happened was that V and Jewel would have had a chance to discuss with each other exactly what they were feeling and thinking a little more. A lot of what happens concerning thoughts and feelings is internal dialogue rather than outward expression, and let's face, those outward expressions of emotions and vulnerabilities are part of what helps you get that "warm fuzzy feeling" when reading a romance. I loved the way the story ends, but that little extra bit of pillow talk sure would have been nice. Other than that I have to say I truly enjoyed Unknown Futures. I would definitely recommend it and I think everyone should read it because it also shows that everyone is looking for that one special person to spend their happily ever after with.
