This follow-up to Calamity brings bounty hunter Cynbelline Khaw back to Temper Reed’s ragtag crew—this time in her own identity, instead of pretending to be a brainwashed cultist in need of rescue. In fact, Cyn is there to do the rescuing—of Arcadio Escajeda’s niece—from the clutches of the same kidnapper who murdered her cousin, broke her family, and sent Cyn on a long quest for vengeance and retribution. Instead, there’s unexpected drug-busting, betrayal, and a truly epic but unlooked for romance. She’ll just have to die to find her happy ever after with the man she was supposed to turn in for a bounty.
VERDICT Every single bit as much fun and adventurous as the author’s debut, this sequel offers a terrific enemies-to-lovers romance, an utterly stunning heel-turn betrayal, and a heartfelt story about blending found families and birth families and never assuming that what one sees is anything like the truth. Featuring a well-developed mercantile empire-type space opera setting, this is highly recommended for fans of the space romances of Valerie Valdes, K.B. Wagers, Rachel Bach, and Cat Rambo.
