3 posts | 8 read | 1 to read
When the Quint Confederacy and the Kos Empire went to waragainQueen Samara wisely kept her Rogue Coalition out of the conflict. But staying neutral in a galactic war doesnt pay the bills, not when both sides refuse to trade with neutral sectors.. With her people on the brink of starvation, Samara hatches a daring plan to snatch the kidnapped Kos Emperor from the Quint mercenaries holding him. The Kos Empire will pay a fortune for their emperors return, enough to feed the Coalitions citizens while they wait for the return to a begrudging peace. But when her plan goes sideways, Samara finds herself evading Quint mercenaries with the very man she intends to capture. And the more time she spends with Valentin Kos, the more she realizes that hes not the coldly indifferent villain she imagined. Torn between duty and desire, Samara must decide if saving her people is worth giving up the one thing shes always wanted.

I really enjoyed this novella and am eager to get to the next. Samara is queen of a coalition of refugees and rogues, desperate to avoid an intergalactic war that‘s been raging for decades. To save her people from starvation, Samara concocts a risky plan to kidnap a kidnapped emperor and ransom him back to his people. Things...go somewhat awry.
Another #SeriesRead2021 but I finally have the next one to continue!

cozypunk Is that a quilt bedspread or table runner? I love the colors! 3y
ravenlee @dandy.punk Thank you! It‘s a quilt, called an around-the-world. I did the top part, my mom did the edging and the batting, and between the two of us (living in five different locations between us) we did the hand quilting. It took 12 years! 😆 3y

An enjoyable sci-fi #romantsy novella, emphasis on the romance. Samara is a kick-butt heroine and the guy she falls for isn't too shabby himself 😜 If you want a bit of space opera politics and intrigue with your romance, you'll enjoy this.

This was a nice #romantsy novella. Samara, a Rogue Queen tries to kidnap an already kidnapped king to save her people from starving. They end up working together against a common enemy to escape. Also this cover is 😍
