Shields are a social class of men on planet Windarra. They have the ability to father only males and have difficulty finding women to marry. Raising males who’s primary function is chasing bandits doesn’t seem to have much appeal to the women of Serendipity the more frivolous western province. Enter Sariana Dayne, a wash-out from the business-oriented eastern colony of Rendzevous who hopes to return home after proving her business sense in the West. She starts by kidnapping Shield Gryph Chassyn who she needs to find a stolen Prisma Cutter. “Why didn’t you just ask?” he wants to know.

Gryph knows a Shield Mate when he sees one and her fate is sealed. She is a talker and that she does, talks, talks, talks. And stubborn, so she defies and defies and misunderstands all through their risky and dangerous search for the prisma. He doesn’t intend to let her out of his sight. Ms. Krentz is great at this type of banter, which is one of my favorite points about her Amanda Quick novels.

Sariana might fight the attraction and Gryph might be frustrated by her business-like attitude but both know it is a lost cause. She is the first shield mate from the East and that may offers an unexpected but delightful surprise for all

My rip from CD., I once wrote a review for Goodreads and this summary is part of it. The other two Lost Colony books have not been recorded.
