Barren Planet #1 To #3
Barren Planet Romance
Their lives are worlds apart.
The Colonies have spread throughout their corner of the galaxy, colonising any planet that will support life, or contains valuable minerals. Each planet has its own peculiarities, from the lost and primitive planet of Zerris, to the thriving planet of Urslat, to the meteor decimated Semala. And each planet has their own set of rules to govern what can and can’t be done.
But love doesn’t always play by the rules.
Reckless Rescue
He crash landed on her planet. Can they survive the winter together without falling in love?
Stranded on the dying planet of Zerris, Marlee longs for the one thing she can’t have…a family. Due to the noxious gas covering the planet, she can’t conceive a child, and the Council, determined to repopulate the planet, have ended her third—and most precious—relationship. They insist she pick a new mate and try again, but she’s sworn off love and the possibility of ever having a real family.
When a ship from the thriving planet of Urslat crashes on Zerris, Marlee rescues the ship’s daring captain, Tyris. His ship is grounded, winter is setting in, and he won’t survive without help. She offers him a deal…he can live with her if he pretends to be her mate so the Council will leave her alone.
Tyris agrees and a hungry desire sparks between them as they battle the harsh winter and primitive conditions. Their attraction grows, and soon, keeping their distance becomes impossible, even more challenging than the snow, the Council, and, for Marlee, the risks of a real relationship.
Will she risk her heart one last time for a chance at her dream? Or will Tyris be her undoing?
Reckless Rebellion
With Tyris's home planet in sight, Marlee is looking forward to exploring her new home. Only a routine medical exam to go, then they can be together on the thriving planet of Urslat.
Incredibly, the exam reveals something that shouldn't be possible. Something that is actually illegal because of Tyris’s past. Marlee’s pregnant.
Marlee and Tyris will do everything they can to keep their secret safe. But Urslat has its own problems, forcing Marlee to choose between everyone she has ever known and the ultimate secret she carries within.
Reckless Recon
Following his brother half way across the galaxy seemed like a good idea at the time, but it hadn’t hit him just how much he was giving up. Stir-crazy after three weeks in space, Kerit, professional surfer turned interstellar colonist, jumps at the chance to get off the ship and onto the new planet’s surface—even if it is a little inhospitable.
He expects searing heat. He expects acid rain. He even expects the sunburn from hell. What he doesn’t expect is to meet Folly—the most prickly, irritating, and fascinating girl he’s ever known. And he needs her help if they want to make this planet their new home.
Determined to find her father's ship and prove he was a brilliant scientist, Folly has no interest in getting to know Kerit. The cute stranger is just a distraction. Unless of course he can help her in her search�
But something sinister lurks in the ruined city, and neither of them realise how much they are going to have to rely on each other if they want to make it out alive.

About the author
Rinelle Grey
61books182followersRinelle Grey is no stranger to alternate lifestyles. She grew up in a variety of different homes, including a riverside shack with no electricity or running water, and even a tent. She and her sister spent their childhood chasing goats, climbing trees, eating peas and corn out of their mother’s vegetable garden, and occasionally rushing to get their correspondence school work in on time. Despite the difficulties of this lifestyle, she wouldn’t swap it for all the luxuries in the world (though she is rather fond of her running hot water and indoor plumbing now!)
She met her husband in ‘Family Therapy�, an elective they were both taking as part of their psychology degrees. It took several years for them to get together, in fact, their roleplaying characters got together before they did!
They married on the beach at sunrise in 2002, two months after Rinelle popped the question.
Although she had always loved to write, it wasn’t until her daughter was about eighteen months old that Rinelle started writing seriously. Probably not the best stage in terms of having spare time! And time only became scarcer when her daughter gave up her day sleep six months later. But by then, Rinelle had well and truly caught the writing bug, finding time somehow to continue with her passion. Her fast typing speed learnt from spending way too much time chatting on IRC, and the investment in an iPad when they came out, helped immensely.
Rinelle now lives on acreage with her husband and homeschooled daughter. In her spare time, she sells stock photography through an online site to support her family, and is hoping that writing will be able to add to that.
She loves to receive e-mails at [email protected], or follow her on facebook or twitter.

Amazing sci-fi Romance boxed set
Forbidden Planet-- a pilot , who has a implant preventing contraceptive, is an embarrassment to his wife and thinks of a daring plan to find spaceship fuel. The fuel bring him in there more favorable light to his wife and his planet so he can get rid of the implant. Unfortunately, he crash-lands on a planet disabling his ship. There he meets Marlee.
Regulated Planet-- this continues from the first book Marlee and Tyris make the trip from The Forbidden Planet. They try to keep their love a secret from his ex-wife who still want to be married to Tyris. But more trouble is in their way such as a secret pregnancy, receiving people from The Forbidden Planet, and a 20-year Secret of General Harrison.
Forsaken Planet-- Tyris, Marlee, and the rest of their extended families from the mining planet and the colonies have bought a spaceship to go back to the colony which was destroyed by an asteroid. There Kerit, Tyris's brother, meet this fascinating , attractive , and jack-of-all-trades all trades girl named Folly. She had been trying for years to find her father's Wormhole ship. Kermit and Folly encountered and trapped by an alien who land on their planet. Kerit tries to communicate with the alien. Is he friendly?
As I read each book more and more characters with their distinctive personalities are added. These characters are very unique, opinionated, stubborn, and at times sexy. There are many worlds in which these people travel in and it accumulates in the third book. However, there is a fourth book in this series of which I'm equally to get next month. It is about they're finding a new home which they can maybe terraform and install the Wormhole device to get there. They will also try to get the alien home.
I love this book for fast-paced drama that I could not put down to even late at night or rather early in the morning. I give it a 5-star rating but it deserves more stars. Very highly recommended.

Fun
Enjoyed the different characters in each story. Liked the build up to the end. Was able to put the book down in some parts and not read for some time . That is why I gave only 4 stars.

Excellent
I thoroughly enjoyed all 3 books in this box set. The first and second were my favorites, but only because I felt like the last one was too short. I really would have liked Kerit and Folly's story to have been fleshed out more. It was good, but felt rushed/more short story-like. Definitely glad to have discovered a new author who knows how to write such great characters you care about in very interesting settings.
