Edge of Eon

This review was originally posted on Addicted To Romance This review may contain spoilers, so fair warning, upon reading the review. I have really been eager to pick more of this author and her science fiction romance, and this is definitely a subgenre that I have been neglecting in recent years and she has so many sci-fi romance to indulge in and I do find her writing fairly easy to get into. I also was intrigued by the setup of the story and it sounded like such a kick-ass romance that I was in the mood for. I found myself thoroughly enjoying this short novel. It was such a nice distraction to escape into, and these two were so funny together.. They had such great chemistry but their bantering was on point with each other. Anna Hackett definitely knows how to write her dialogue in her pairings. The set up is pretty simple, our heroine was blamed for what her superior officer made a mistake in, and her ticket out of jail and to keep her sisters safe is to kidnap the head commander of the Eon people who have the technology to save the Terrans from being exterminated, So so kidnaps the great commander, only to find themselves under attack, and stranded on a planet and they have to work together and survive the dangers on the planet all the while their enemy is chasing them. I absolutely love some great survivor type of setting for a romance, but we also have this angst between this pairing that is so delicious. But I really liked how great our hero is about being kidnapped (haha) he takes it in good humor actually, because he sees the sincerity of our heroine, Eve, who really felt like she has zero choices in it. I really loved the vulnerabilities that we see in both of our characters, and they surely know how to kick ass together. They make such a solid team and really know how to work together in all aspects. The chemistry in this book is solid and while I was hoping for more in some areas, this was such a well-rounded story to indulge in. My issues with the book are real, I just wasn’t quite feeling the connection and the romance between these two,. I was hoping for more intensity that what I was given. Despite this though, I still enjoyed this book so much and I am eager to work my way through this series. Trigger Warnings: (view spoiler)[Violence, Death, Animal Death (hide spoiler)]

OOOOh a new space set romance for me love! Earth (as usual) mucked up First Contact with the Eon and there has been an icy détente ever since. But an insectoid race called the Kantos (channel Starship Troopers baddies) are set on devouring everything in their path, including Earth. Eve was set up to take the fall for her incompetent captain. But she has been given a get out of jail free card. All she has to do is get to Eon space, get aboard a warship and kidnap a fearsome Was Commander. Oh, and get back to Earth with him! Piece of cake! She did not quite realise how musclebound, solid and all together handsome the War Commander was going to be. The poor guy didn't stand much of a chance against a very determined female Earthling, he just wanted to take a long put off holiday! But Davion and Eve now face further dangers - Hunter & is programmed to challenge a warrior. But how can you take on ever changing terrain, the Kantos and a stubborn headed female all at the same time? I loved Davion and all his little saying. I keep thinking he sounds very Klingonish - By Stons Sword is one of his favourite sayings. Eve is strong, determined and very capable. Yes you have to disengage the logic in your brain to cope with proto-planets that can change every few hours, but this is SCI-FI! Therefore just strap in and enjoy the wild ride. Oh and by the way - Shaggy tries to steal the show! Looking forward to seeing how a certain security officer deals with the thieving Space Marine!
