Gullible.
Foolish.
Weak.
She had always done as she was told. She dug in the sands until her fingers bled so that her people could have something to barter. She packed up her sparse belongings without complaint when it was time to flee the Wastes, leaving behind the only home she’d ever known, and the site of the bittersweet memories she carried of her lost family. It was easier that way, to obey and not to question, knowing her own judgement to be faulty.
But when her people learn that the exchange for living on alien land and securing their safety is the price of one of their unclaimed women, the limits of her compliance are tested, as she is given in marriage to a man she does not want from a species and clan she does not know.
Only to discover that he feels precisely the same about their ill-begotten trade.

She was a Marzon now.
And she had no idea what that meant, other than giving up her clothes, her home, her people, all for a man who like to scowl and grunt and sigh.
“By what name shall she be called?” Sladec asked, and she eyed him with confusion.
She opened her mouth to answer, to finally inform them both that she most certainly had a name and it was important, no matter what Machrus had said, but the voice that gave answer was not her own.
But came from her husband instead.
“Renna. Now wife of Machrus of Krahl.”

It kept me reading. The story was tolled really well. But I'm afraid the h was just a little to passive for me. She held EVERYTHING back. No the H was not this huge aggressive dominant guy. And I'm really glad about that. More would I classify him as one of those dick H. It's just that the h said a little to many "sorrys", there were times she was justifiably angry and she just kept tapping it down and making excuses. I needed a little more personality. Not neediness. Come on. If you are left at home while he is of working than get some depth to you and find a hobby around the house, or outside of it. It's not like he ever gave her rules or boundaries. Those were self imposed by her.Again. It WAS a good book. Just a little suffocating in her head sometimes.

Trade Deridia Book 2 eBook Catherine Miller Reviews
I'm not sure what happened but somewhere around chapter eight I lost complete interest in this story. It moved slowly and while I appreciate a well crafted buildup of events and worlds, this one just wasn't enough to keep me entertained.
Had I the choice, I would have loved to have read this in one sitting! The characters were so well done. They seemed like real people and ones I would like to know. The storyline was one of tragedy and hardship and triumph and happiness. The female lead character is traded to a new community for land and supplies. The contrast between the 1st community and the 2nd one is like night and day. The 1st one, which is a human settlement, is one of misery. There is much mistrust and suspicion. There is also violence and fear. The first book in the series sets up the causes for this as being from trying to survive in the nightmare conditions on an unknown planet. The 2nd, which is one of an alien tribe, is one in which I would move to in a heartbeat. There is so much genuine caring and respect and love. The community is one in the truest since of the word. I absolutely love when good characters who have suffered so much and still have remained such loving, caring people find love and fulfillment in a mate and in family. The best kind of happily ever after! The male leads in both books are the best mates one could imagine. Even so, they are men with their own past struggles and loss. The beginning misunderstandings and communication problems that occur as the mates develop their relationships and learn about each other are real. It's great to see them grow as individuals and get more than they could have imagined! I recommend both this book and the 1st in the series, Mercy. Wonderful, well written stories!!
I enjoyed the world-building in this book, but was always hopeful for a little more detail regarding the world and the physiology of the Deridian natives. The cultural aspect is well developed and has interesting aspects. This is an extremely personal book of two solitary people finding each other through a less than ideal situation. This is more a contemplative book of emotions rather than action-adventure. I do enjoy this author's writing style; it flows seamlessly and despite the quiet nature of the story it was a compelling read. Although this book is the second in a series, it is only tangentially related to book one and it is not necessary to read the first book. I will look for more from this author.
3.5 rounded to four stars simply because I felt the plot was too.....tame. I expected more drama and action out of a science fiction romance story. Plus, the heroine was placid, but at least she recognized it. Also, the viewpoint is only from the heroine, and I would have loved to hear the internal thoughts of Machrus.

I love Catherine Miller's character driven Science Fiction with a long slow burn.
The world building is very good and the ache of grief and loss is this book is compelling.
The hero and heroine are both so wounded it hard to like them at first because they hold so much of themselves as private but as they heal and come to love each other, we come to love and know them too.
If you liked Mercy, the first book in this series, you should like this one as well. It has similar themes of an arranged marriage and culture adjustment,. It also has some of the same drawbacks of not getting the hero's point of view and some information held back too long to enjoy a full rich HEA. I would have loved a lush epilogue.
I would be very happy to read another romance in this world.
Loved it almost as much as the first book.
Enjoyed the story. I hope the author writes more like this.
Fabulous book!!! Highly recommend it to any one who loves powerful characters and intriguing plots! This writer makes you befriend the characters and binds you to them!!
