Thanh is awesome! Not only is she a badass pilot, but she’s also a spectacular woman! She’s resilient, fierce, resourceful and strong. Even more, Thanh is not someone who backs down from challenges and is ready to face danger head on. But she’s been through quite a lot and all the trauma has made her a bit bitter. Nevertheless, Thanh is a wonderful woman and I loved her so, so much!

And then, there’s Jax! This Gex-Corps agent is one strong, fearsome, brave and absolutely irresistible male. Even more, he’s confident, charming, fun and quite the ladies’ male. But there’s more to him than meets the eye, too. Because underneath his carefree, cocky and playboy facade is a fiercely protective, considerate, caring, loyal and loving male who’s been through quite a lot. Jax is a remarkable male and I couldn’t help but adore every single thing about him!

I absolutely loved everything that happened between Thanh and Jax! Those two have quite the history and now the two of them are sent on a mission together. And they can’t stand each other… (Or can they….?) I adored Jax and Thanh together! Their constant bickering and banters were so fun to read. They were just so mean and sarcastic to each other and I loved that both gave as good as they got! But there was also so much tension and longing… Even more, Thanh and Jax were a fantastic team. Yeah, both tried so hard to fight the growing feelings, but fate cannot be denied. And when they finally gave into the undeniable need, the passionate moments they shared were off-the-charts hot and I couldn’t get enough! Thanh and Jax were truly incredible together and were so, so perfect for each other. And, after everything both went through, they more than deserved to find happiness and love together.

In addition, the storyline was phenomenal! Time traveling aliens, explorations of uncharted space, Celestial Dragons, dangerous heists, pirates - all these (and more) are woven into an intricate and engaging story that will keep you glued to the pages till the very end. Even more, I loved Jax’s parents and absolutely adored Tohm-Tohm - this sassy, loyal and fierce symbiote is incredible and its conversations with Thanh were so fun!

Overall, the story is another absolutely outstanding addition to the series! It’s filled with adventure, danger, suspense, non-stop action, humor, drama, twists, betrayals, unexpected revelations, smoking-hot passion and remarkable characters.

I couldn’t put it down and absolutely loved every single page of it!
And with that epilogue, I cannot wait to see what happens next!
