A WOMAN ON A MISSION . . .
My
name is Vesper Quill. I used to be a lowly lab rat, toiling away in
obscurity developing brewmakers and other household appliances. But
thanks to my seer magic and my own ingenuity, I’m now a Regal lady and
the head of a successful corporation.
My mission? To destroy the
Techwave, the dangerous group that has stolen my designs and plans to
weaponize them against the Imperium. But when my mission takes an
unexpected turn, I’m once again surrounded by enemies and fighting for
my life.
Further complicating matters is Kyrion Caldaren, an
arrogant Regal lord whose fate is bound to mine. Kyrion doesn’t realize
the two of us still have an unwanted connection that puts us both in
grave danger . . . or does he?
A MAN SURROUNDED BY ENEMIES . . .
My
name is Kyrion Caldaren. As the leader of the Arrows, the Imperium’s
elite fighting force, I’ve been tasked with tracking down and destroying
the Techwave before they seize control of the Archipelago Galaxy.
My
other mission? Find a way to assassinate Lord Callus Holloway, the
Imperium ruler who wants to take my psion power for his own. Holloway is
also a threat to Vesper Quill, who haunts my thoughts, despite the
broken bond and distance between us.
When I realize Vesper is in
danger, my priorities change, and I vow to use all my telepathic,
telekinetic, and other abilities to help her. I will save Vesper from
her enemies and mine—even if I have to burn down the whole bloody
galaxy.
Jennifer Estep's Only Good Enemies is the second installment in the authors Galactic Binds series. The story begins 3 months after the ending of Only Bad Options. The series features two main characters in Vesper Quill and Kryion Calderen. Vesper used to be a lowly lab rat, toiling away in obscurity developing brewmakers and other household appliances. But thanks to her seer magic and her own ingenuity, she discovered a nefarious plan by Rowena Kent to equip new space cruisers with faulty systems.
When Vesper uncovered Rowena's deadly conspiracy, she crossed
paths with Kyrion Caldaren, a psion and an Imperium Arrow who is one of
the most notorious killers in the Archipelago Galaxy. As a seer, Vesper can never forget anything she hears, or sees, or experiences. After standing in front of the dangerous Callus Holloway and denying her true bond connection to Kyrion, she was put in charge with what's now called Quill Corp and made a Regal lady and has made the company profitable with her own designs. Vesper, however, has yet another mission.
To destroy the
Techwave, the dangerous terrorist group that wants to destroy Holloway and the Imperium. After she is kidnapped by Techwave, she discovers that they are using her stolen designs to
weaponize them against the Imperium and her own mother is involved. Enter Kyrion who has tried to ignore the true bond connection knowing that Callus was directly responsible for the deaths of his parents. If Callus knows about Vesper and Kryion, they will become lab rats, and their powers will be drained until they are nothing but human husks.
Kyrion is the leader of the Arrows, the Imperium’s elite fighting force. He's been tasked with tracking down and destroying the Techwave before they seize control of the Archipelago Galaxy. With people like Zane Zimmer chomping at the bit trying to remove Kyrion from leadership, Kyrion needs to focus on his other mission. Find a way to assassinate Lord Callus Holloway, the Imperium ruler who wants to take his psion power for his own. Holloway is also a threat to Vesper Quill, who haunts his thoughts, despite the true bond and distance between us.
This rollicking space opera features a mix of magic and technology, along with a soul mates, slow burn, and enemies-to-lovers story. If you are a fan of the author, you will learn quickly that the author loves food. What's even more impressive is that she's made Kyrion a helluva cook who can quickly stir up a meal within 30 minutes, including dessert! I think the connection between Vesper and Kyrion has finally come to the point where they can't deny that they are bonded in ways others may not be. This story also focuses a bit on Vesper's parentage. A father she never knew and doesn't want to know, and a mother who is disgusting as any villain in this series. This story does end on a curious cliffhanger ending that is likely to lead to a story focusing on Zane and another character introduced in this book.
Read the book, enjoy the action, and the romance.
