From Amazon -

When Rosemary Harper joins the crew of the Wayfarer, she isn't expecting much. The ship, which has seen better days, offers her everything she could possibly want: a small, quiet spot to call home for a while, adventure in far-off corners of the galaxy, and distance from her troubled past.

But Rosemary gets more than she bargained for with the Wayfarer. The crew is a mishmash of species and personalities, from Sissix, the friendly reptillian pilot, to Kizzy and Jenks, the constantly sparring engineers who keep the ship running. Life on board is chaotic, but more or less peaceful - exactly what Rosemary wants.

Until the crew are offered the job of a lifetime: the chance to build a hyperspace tunnel to a distant planet. They'll earn enough money to live comfortably for years... if they survive the long trip through war-torn interstellar space without endangering any of the fragile alliances that keep the galaxy peaceful.

But Rosemary isn't the only person on board with secrets to hide, and the crew will soon discover that space may be vast, but spaceships are very small indeed.

Wow, where do I start?

Thanks for r/suggestmeabook to begin with. I asked for a spacefaring romance, but something where the romance was subtle, not too in your face.

I’ll start with the spacefaring. This book definitely has that! 90% of the book is set on The Wayfarer, a wonderfully fun sounding spaceship, with a task of never thought about before, and a multi-species crew.

The technology is always one of they things I like to read about, and there was plenty of it here. The explanations were good, not too in-depth to bore the reader, but deep enough to give a decent understanding.

Where this book really excels though is the characters, particularly in Rosemary, which is the character that grows and changes the most throughout this book.

The book was full of surprises, things that made me smile, and loveable characters. I’ve already finished book 2!
