Space opera at its finest with betrayal, loyalty tested, and pew-pew-pew! Another winner for me in the Galactic Bond Series. I love Vesper and her incredibly clever mind. In this latest book she once again demonstrates why she is the friend you want at your back. She's the one who will come through for you with little muss or fuss. She does it because it is the right thing. When the game is rigged, the only course of action is to go ROGUE!
Vesper and Kyrion are still in hiding due to how delicious their bond can be. Whilst Kyrion has always been an apex predator, this life on the run is one humbling experience after another. The true bond has always been something Kyrion fears because he believes it is a weakness. He is not wrong, especially with that attitude!
I like the character development in this book. Vesper is learning to come into her own and she's growing with Kyrion's help. Kyrion's cocky attitude which blindsides him is being adjusted. These two working together is what makes them stronger and unstoppable. Whilst I want to see vengeance mete out, I also dread a conclusion to this series. Vesper is the the winner in this series. Ms. Estep tends to create strong heroines who have a steel core when it comes to right and wrong.
In this latest book, Vesper's bond with Kyrion is placed under extreme stress test. What I like about this story is multiple situations of a rock and a hard place. There are no perfect answers. This entire series is about picking the lesser of two evils. This is never more apparent with the conclusion of this book. Constant backstabbing is tiring for straight shooters Vesper and Kyrion. They are growing to understand and bend to the grey areas for the greater good. This type of complex quandary keeps me excited and riveted to the story line. It creates emotional engagement and righteous fervor. Love it!
This Space Opera is recommend to everyone and especially those rooting for the underdog.
* I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
