Full Speed to a Crash Landing by Beth Revis, 181 pages
Ada Lamarr was in the middle of scavenging metal from the crash of a giant spaceship when the airlock of her small ship blew up and left her with swiftly dwindling oxygen and the hopes that a nearby ship would respond to her increasingly urgent distress call. When a ship finally does grab her at nearly the last second, Ada learns that they're here to rescue a couple of irreplaceable items from the same wreckage. But while Ada's more than happy to help rescue the items from the volatile planet, she also has ulterior motives, ones that she must conceal from the sexy mission commander of the rescue ship.
This novella is a fun space heist, with excellent characters, fun twists, and a solid enough background that it's not confusing, though without weighing down the plot. It also ends on a cliffhanger, so the second book in this trilogy better get published soon. Cuz you know I'm going to read the heck out of it!
