Rick and his crew live on the edge of Earth Corps space, where the law is what you make it and the taxman doth fear to tread. While a war rages, he salvages its wreckage, profiteering from the misery of others. Despite his plan to sit it out from the sidelines and fill his pockets, Rick is drawn into a galactic conflict. When an alien armada is set to crash down upon Sol, he has to choose between cold hard cash or his conscience.

Loved It
Revisado: 04-22-23
I never thought I would LOVE a sci-fi book because I've never been a fan of sci-fi. This book, however, is so much more than I was expecting. The School of Hard Knocks is a sci-fi comedy, and let me say this book is hilarious. There are many laugh-out-loud moments throughout the book.
In the beginning, I was hoping Rick's crew would shove him off the ship into space. I could not see how he landed the role of the main character. Little did I know that I would soon fall in love with the most unlikely and reluctant hero, Rick Katusa.
Rick Katusa, the Captain of Sonnet, was out in space living his best bachelor life, avoiding responsibility, government politics, and meaningful relationships. He never dreamed of love or of changing his bachelor ways. He never knew he needed a good woman in his life, one with a moral compass to set him to rights. Our reluctant hero makes great strides throughout the book. Fair warning Rick is rude, crass, and obnoxious. You will hate him, then you will love him, be patient, it takes time to make changes.
If you have the opportunity to listen to the audio, I highly recommend it because the audio is a pure masterpiece with sound effects to bring the space atmosphere fully into your imagination. The School of Hard Knocks is a hidden gem that I would have never found on my own. Thank you so much, Oliver Strong, for my gifted audio copy in exchange for an honest review. The opinion is my own.

The Cuban Revolution took everything from sugar heiress Beatriz Perez - her family, her people, her country. Recruited by the CIA to infiltrate Fidel Castro's inner circle and pulled into the dangerous world of espionage, Beatriz is consumed by her quest for revenge and her desire to reclaim the life she lost. As the Cold War swells like a hurricane over the shores of the Florida Strait, Beatriz is caught between the clash of Cuban-American politics and the perils of a forbidden affair with a powerful man driven by ambitions of his own.

I loved returning to the Perez family after Next Year in Havana. Beatriz is an adventurous and interesting character. I love the relationship she has with Nick and her boldness to want what she knows she isn't allowed to have. I also enjoyed the historical elements to the story. The narration was well done and the voice pleasant. Overall excellent story and I'm looking forward to the next book.
