From childhood, Shay had one dream—to join the Space Corps with her best friend and sweetheart, Jayce. When the Space Corps reveals that the father she thought was dead is actually an infamous pirate and rejects her application, the dream dies and she leaves the planet without saying a word to Jayce.
Ten years later, Shay is a pirate herself. She captains her own ship and has earned a reputation as one of the slipperiest pilots around. That's why she's recruited for a dangerous secret government mission. But the cargo she's assigned to smuggle turns out to be a woman with a government bodyguard—Jayce.
Jayce never thought he'd see Shay again, and when the mission forces them together on her ship, he isn't sure he can forgive her for deserting him; but their desire for each other is stronger than ever. Jayce knows he wants to be with Shay, but how can he trust a woman who's both a pirate and the girl who broke his heart?

Good to a point
By Amazon Customer
** spoiler alert ** Let me start with the good before I delve into the bad. I liked that Shay wasn't letting anyone stop her from her dream. Not her mother, not her father's reputation and not the SpaceCorps. I also liked that even after becoming a pirate she holds to her principles and (though largely told to us instead of shown to us) proves to her father that her way was just as good as his way. She was clever (if rather reckless), resourceful and ultimately good at what she did.
Jayce meanwhile is just this side of too good to be true most times, but he reacts much of the time as any friend who doesn't understand what happened would. 10 years is a long time to wonder what happened to the perfect life you had almost in hand. I was also surprised when he made it clear to Shay that he takes great pride in his job and what they do. The SpaceCorps aren't, much as Shay would like to believe since they tossed her over, the evil empire. They had a very real concern about who her father was. Granted they didn't know he had no idea she was alive and that she thought he was dead, but they had justifiable reason to treat her case with extreme caution (which Jayce points out and Shay fumes at him for).
The two together were entertaining. When their head was in the game and the romance was stowed away they were dangerously effective. The two of them, despite being a bit sappy together at times, had grown up and apart into adults. Neither carried the "I've been angsting over you for years" baggage and neither rhapsodized endlessly about it. Jayce wanted answers (and deserved them) and Shay had to confront what had really caused her to run. End of story.
What I didn't like was that we're told about how great a pirate Shay is. Not only that, but she's this great pirate with scruples. She took her father's second in command, has the universe salivating over the chance to capture her, and is so well regarded that her client goes out of his way to secure her expertise.
Jayce meanwhile, once Shay runs off and becomes a pirate, apparently goes on to become Super Cool Soldier Guy who is also well-regarded, medals up to wazoo and trusted.
We don't see either progress from starry-eyed teens dreaming of the sky to dangerous effective spacers. The book is too short to answer so many questions raised. Like how did Shay's Steader mother meet her pirate (though I guess he was legit before that, its a little hazy) father?
At the end, even though I thought Shay and Jayce made a great professional team, I was less convinced of their emotional need. While I was certain that Shay was all aboard for their relationship, Jayce's hesitance until it becomes clear that he doesn't have to make a choice gave me pause. If Shay hadn't negotiated the deal she had, would Jayce have risked a relationship? I have a feeling the answer is no.

Space Pirates! What fun!
By Marlene @ Reading Reality
The most fun part about Slip Point by Karalynn Lee can be described in two words: "Space Pirates!" It makes me grin every time I even think about it. And I defy anyone to not be reminded of Firefly, just a teeny little bit. Very shiny.
But the roots of Slip Point rest in an entirely different science fiction epic. At the opening of the story, Jayce and Shay are just a boy and a girl growing up on a backwater planet, dreaming of going into space. Pretty much like Luke Skywalker dreamed of getting off Tatooine. Or, come to think of it, the way that James T. Kirk dreamed of leaving that Iowa cornfield, and Jean-Luc Picard dreamed of leaving his family's winery in France. All of them were once-upon-a-time planetbound children dreaming of space. But then, aren't we all?
Jayce and Shay watch the ships coming to their "Steader" world, a planet that has deliberately chosen to use as little technology as possible. They are waiting until Shay is old enough to go off-planet and take the Academy entrance exams without her mother's permission. Jayce is a few months older, and his family is less rigid about him remaining at the family "Hearth". But then, Jayce has siblings and Shay is an only child, her father is long dead. Or so she has been told.
But when they finally take that exam, and Jayce and Shay are within moments of seeing all their dreams come true, Shay's dreams shatter into pieces. Her father is not dead. Daddy Dearest is an infamous space pirate. And the Space Corps didn't want any applicants whose parents were infamous, and infamously successful, pirates. Shay left her dreams behind in the recruitment office. Along with Jayce. She abandoned her best friend, her first and only lover, without a single word of explanation, because Jayce was able to fulfill their dream, and Shay couldn't.
Shay took a completely different course. If her father kept her from joining the Space Corps, then she figured that he owed her a pilot's berth. So Shay went looking for pirates.
Ten years later, Shay has become her father's second-in-command. Not because she's his daughter, but because she's earned it. Not by being ruthless, but by being discriminating, and still profitable. Now he has a special job for her--a job that will involve government bureaucrats, newly discovered aliens, xenophobic terrorists, the Space Corps--and Jayce.
What Jayce can do to her heart is way more dangerous than anything the terrorists or even the military might possibly want to shoot her with.
Escape Rating B: I enjoyed the world-building, and I liked the character of Shay quite a bit. She's definitely a strong enough character to be in charge of her own ship. I found it refreshing that she didn't wait around for someone to rescue her when her dreams fell apart, she created her own "plan B" and carried it out. At the same time, she did it with the kind of thoughtlessness that would be typical of someone that age, filled with anger that Jayce got the dream and she didn't.
There are elements of other female space opera heroines in Shay, I saw a lot of Ky Vatta from Elizabeth Moon's Vatta's War series. That's a good comparison, I loved the Vatta's War series and wish there were more. There is also a space piracy element in Vatta.
Which brings me to the thing that bothered me. Because Shay's planet has such restricted access, Space Corps must know that Shay hasn't seen or heard from her father. Why does his existence bar her from entry into the Corps? Something wasn't explained there, or I'm just used to the average Space Corps being way more omnipotent, or at least omni-aware, than this one.
Shay and Jayce haven't seen each other in ten years, but they were each other's first love, first kiss, first everything. She left a gaping hole in his heart when she ran out. They need some serious healing to find their way back to each other, and the story works through that. They don't pick up where they left off, and it shouldn't.
One last thing, this book is too short! I want more of this world. The story needed more details and background than the author had time to tell. And there are all sorts of interesting things going on, including first contact. Let's come back here again.

UFR Reviews Slip Point
By Home. Love. Books.
I received this book as a part of the Net Galley program in exchange for a honest review. I don't read a lot of sci-fi, and this is the second one I have read in just the past couple of days. That being said I can say if these past two books are any indication I will be reading more sic-fi in the future.
The most important thing to me in sci-fi books is that they have solid world building. I don't need to know every detail of every single element, but I do need to be able to have a working knowledge of the world created. I think sci-fi is a genre where world building is the most important, because if it's not good in sci-fi the reader either is constantly confused or completely uninterested. In this book I was impressed by the world building because I had enough knowledge to really understand the book and the people within them. I was not overrun with details which often leads to me skipping over descriptions to avoid becoming confused by overcomplexity. But I enjoyed reading Lee's descriptions and that says a lot about the quality of writing.
I enjoyed the relationship between the two main characters, Shay and Jayce. I liked the idea behind their relationship, as two friends who are forced apart due to circumstances. After Shay takes off without saying goodbye, both Jayce and Shay go down to radically different paths. It's so interested and exciting to watch the two of them come back together and figure out where to go from their.
I like Shay because she is a heroine who really knows her stuff. She is smart and as a pirate has the ability to think on her feet. I always enjoy a girl who can hold her own, and Shay is definitely one of those characters. I also liked that she was able to hold her own with everyone else, including Jayce as the story goes on. Jayce was also a solid character, but I think the thing that really made this story work was that everyone felt very organic.
There is a lot I could say about this book but it would give away so much of a short novella and I would never want to ruin the experience of any future readers. I really think this book would work for people who enjoy sci-fi as well as paranormal romance. It's a really fun and enjoyable short read and I definitely recommend it.
