Petriv's future looks dark and full of danger, which wouldn't be Felicia's problem except that it's also aligned with hers. Felicia discovers she is the key pawn in Petriv's plot to overthrow the all-knowing government, and she must decide if she will trust him with her heart, body, and soul before the future of the entire human race collapses around her.

Love the world building and mystery, HATE the romance
By Ende
I picked up this book because Linnea Sinclair's blurb is front and center, and I'm always looking for science fiction romance books that I enjoy as much as I do hers. Unfortunately, this is not one of them. I'm really conflicted about this book--I love the world building and the mystery, but I hate hate HATE the romance (which is not good in a book billed as a romance!).
Felicia reads tarot cards and knows from the first time that she reads Petriv's cards that their future is entertwined...so I guess that excuses his behavior towards her? Petriv is domineering and manipulative--oh, but he's so rich and handsome that it just doesn't matter! He touches her and kisses her despite her protests, but it's all okay, because he knows Felicia's relationship with her boyfriend isn't as strong as she thinks. And besides, he's so hot and her body wants him so much! And she's very aware of the problematic way he's treating her and doesn't like it...but apparently it doesn't matter after all? Because he's so hot? Or something?
After the first few interactions like that, I started skipping/skimming the romantic and sex scenes. I would have put down the book, but I really enjoyed the world building: if I'm dating the Kibera slums correctly, this is taking place nearly 1000 years in the future, after the world has undergone catastrophic climate change. Humanity has gone through and since emerged from another Dark Ages under the guidance of an authoritarian government that strictly controls population growth and food allotment, among other things. But now that things have calmed down, people are beginning to wonder if such strict control is necessary or desirable.
From this emerges the first mystery: why has Felicia been blacklisted and unable to get permission to have a child? And woven throughout the whole story is the primary mystery, one that Petriv brings her: is Felicia's long-dead mother actually alive? If so, why did she fake her death, and what has she been doing since then?
Final verdict: if you can tolerate or enjoy this kind of hero and romance, it's a great sci-fi romance. If not, I'd probably avoid it.

Seductive, Riveting
By rann
What if luck has nothing to do with, well, luck. Some people seem to have all the luck while others have none. What if there is a reason for that? In Catherine Cerveny’s The Rule of Luck, that theory is explored with interesting results.
Felicia Sevigny loves her job as a Tarot card reader. She is very good at it, able to see into people’s lives with uncanny accuracy. Or is she just lucky? When Russian Consortium heir apparent Alexei Petriv seeks a reading from Felicia, she senses a connection that is confirmed by both her gut and the cards. But these two would seem to have nothing in common and when Alexei leaves Felicia’s shop, she is sure she has seen the last of him. This beginning scene is full of portents and sets the reader up for a riveting read.
What follows is a constant stream of action, intrigue and future possibilities, mixed with emotion and blazing passion.
Ms. Cerveny has drawn a plausible and fascinating future world where the melting of polar ice has flooded the lower elevations and only the mountain ranges offer a dry existence. Having saved the world from chaos, One Gov now oversees the world. One Gov sets all the rules. Most of humanity, remembering the hard times, is grateful to One Gove and believes One Gov is right and good, if almighty and ironfisted.
Felicia is lucky to have a nice home, a boyfriend and great job. So she has very few beefs with One Gov, despite the fact that she is a bit different. While most of the population has been modified – genetically and with technology – Felicia has not gone down that path. Her Romani family has always been determined to remain purely human. Felicia occasionally wishes that were not true when she envies others their constant connection to the CN-net (Cerebral Neural Net). But her lack of connection also means that One Gov is not connected to her, giving her seeming privacy and control that others lack. This is a relevant paradox. Most of us have embraced our ability to constantly connect with technology, and thus pretty much everyone and everything. What do we give up for that?
Not everyone agrees with the control that One Gov exerts over the world. The Russian Consortium is a powerful organization that would like to change the status quo. They have achieved power through legitimate business using less than legitimate means to make sure they succeed. Having been groomed to assume leadership of the Consortium, Alexei Petriv is positioned to make the deal of the century. All he needs is a little luck. This deal will put the Consortium in a position to affect change. As I read, I found myself agreeing with Alexei – that change was needed. I wanted them to succeed, but was bothered by the methods. Change often hurts. That is something most of us know well on some scale or another. So should I cheer for the Consortium or not?
Between Felicia and Alexei, there is an intense physical connection. But they are such an unlikely pairing. A Tarot reader and a power player. I was alternatively hoping they would get together and wanting them to walk away from each other. Mostly I wanted Felicia to walk away. The story is told from her first person perspective. She seems to be a good person but is in a situation where she has little control, is kept in the dark and is constantly threatened from one source or another. Sometimes that source is Alexei. Luck seems to be on Felicia’s side as she continually withstands everything thrown at her, albeit sometimes barely.
Even at the end of the book, I haven’t really warmed up to Alexei, though I think he has potential. I am always looking for the ‘good guy’ and that is not a phrase I would use to describe Alexei. But his character is consistently dark and passionate and vital and I would not change him at all.
The development of the relationship between Felicia and Alexei is at a pace that parallels the development of the intrigue part of the plot. The connection and the passion begin as soon as they meet and continue to smolder throughout the action of The Rule of Luck. The combination of intrigue and romance is perfectly balanced so that I never felt I was missing any aspect of either.
The romance in The Rule of Luck is not pretty. While the passion is intense, the actual relationship is sometimes dark and unnerving. The ending is a HEA for now for Felicia and Alexei. Where the relationship is going is anybody’s guess.
I would describe The Rule of Luck as dark and itchy as opposed to warm and fuzzy. The future world is far from perfect with One Gov as big brother. The romance is steamy but tumultuous. The hero has a somewhat ambiguous agenda. And the heroine may just be in over her head. All of these features are exactly what make The Rule of Luck such a seductive read for me and why I can enthusiastically recommend it for SciFi Romance readers!

Weird but very fun read.
By Book wyrm
This book focuses on a tarot card reader who can actually predict the possible future, though apparently not very acurate, considering her upcoming problems. And the head of the Russian maffia in a world were resources are very scarce because Earth is flooded poluted and over populated due to global warming. I found the idea of war over space and the rations for eating interesting. The science fiction premises in this book is very nice. I don't want to spoil the plot for anyone, so I won't go into details. But I really liked the characters and their interaction. It did sometimes bother me that the maffia is portrayed as a better alternative to corrupt government, but I could live with it for the sake of the story. The government system is plenty of scary that you start to agree a bit with the people in the novel. The plot in the book is very twisty and keeps you surprised about events in the story line. The romance is slightly more predictable as such, but that's kind of normal in this genre. What did give me some real "getting into the story" trouble in the definition of luck. It's important to the story, but the semi scientific rational behind it sounded a bit to forced to me. But maybe that's the engineer in me. All in all, I liked this book and I would definitely recommend it as long as you don't want realistic sounding scientific explanations in your story.
