warm, sweet and utterly enjoyable. com User, June 7, 2000. Maybe it was just the right book at the right time in my life, but this book struck just the perfect chord with me. So what if you can smell the happy ending a mile away? I for one was content to relax in the capable hands of two skilled authors and let the story take me there.

Like most people, I don't like Connie Willis's early collaborations with Cynthia Felice nearly as much as her later solo work. I can't help seeing it as a deliberate homage to Lucy Walker's romances set in the Australian Outback, books that whiled away many hours for me in my teens and contributed I dare not think what warping to my romantic preferences.

It has been fifteen years since Delanna Milleflores set foot on Keramos  . by Connie Willis, Cynthia Felice.

The coauthors of Water Witch create an unusual combination of frontier romance and science fiction in which a woman returns to her family farm on the planet Keramos and finds herself involved in an arranged marriage. Reprint.
  • This is a book about a young woman who returns to her home planet after her mother dies. Her intention is to pick up her inheritance and then leave as soon as possible. Her whole attitude towards "her" planet is based on the very negative letters her mother sent while she is in school on another planet. Because of legal complications she has to stay on the planet for awhile and traveling towards Milleflores, the farm that is her inheritance, she slowly begins to look at the planet and the people in a different way. And when she finally arrives at Milleflores she begins to realize (she finds her mothers diaries) what her schooling has done to the other owners of Milleflores. Once she is on Milleflores she starts doing everything that needs to be done around the place without being asked to do so showing that she is not the spoiled person that she seems to be at the start of the book, but a person in her own right. I originally borrowed this book from the library and after having read it a number of times I finally bought it for my Kindle.

  • I really liked the characters in this book. It was like a space novel but more. The descriptions of plants, animals and weather was unusually good. How the people lived and interacted on the planet to form a cohesive new planet was spectacular. I felt like I was riding the 5,000 miles to Milleflores with Delanna and Sonny and the caravan. Read this and enjoy the scenery and the pageantry.

  • Do not buy this book expecting Connie Willis's usual humor or occasional real drama (the Doomsday Book.)
    . The protagonist is unlikable and the story drags.

  • Maybe it was just the right book at the right time in my life, but this book struck just the perfect chord with me. So what if you can smell the happy ending a mile away? I for one was content to relax in the capable hands of two skilled authors and let the story take me there. This wasn't what my mother would refer to as a "deep" book, but I read books for all kinds of reasons, not least of which is plain and simple enjoyment. The characters are interesting and develop in complexity as the main character grows to know them better. For all that the storyline is relatively straightforward, it's still complex enough to keep me going and surprise me now and then. I love this book. It even passed that most difficult of all tests: the re-read.

  • Wonderful book with engaging characters and a great plot that moves well. I especially love the alien races and how they are such vital parts of the story.

  • Nothing deep about this; just a really good piece of fluff. Very appealing characters, well drawn - even Cleo the scarab and the fire monkeys. Very nice romance. I found this hard to put down, read it in essentially one sitting, and was sorry to see it end.

  • Fun, easy read. Nice job building the characters,with some unexpected surprises along the way. There is enough going on that you want to see how it ends.

  • I couldn't put this one down. It's about a young woman returning to the rustic planet of her birth after growing up in a boarding school, on a "civilized" planet. She is only back to settle her mother's estate, but finds she is now married to the neighbor boy, and has to remain on the land with him for a year before she can sell. She has an unusual pet that gets her in trouble with the law.
    The world-building is great and believable. The romance is clean, and the characters are well fleshed out. I really loved it, and hope she writes more science fiction stories. I would enjoy more in this vein.
