As intense as the first book, the plot definitely thickens in the sequel. The conspiracy against the former leader of the syndicate, Joren, is complete and he becomes a hunted man. While we don’t (yet) find out who exactly is behind the revolution, the arch-enemies of the Syndicate seem to be involved. The pairing of the ex-leader, who happens to be a talented sniper, and an ex-Marine assassin is smoking hot, and the amount of testosterone between those two ensures a very entertaining ride.

Joren is a politician, or he has been recently, but he is also a soldier. Now that the rebels are after him, those talents come in very useful. He's also desperate to protect his brilliant scientist-brother Ash, and lucky to have Ash's lover Carter, be just as determined to help. But when Joren is confronted with his past the real fireworks start!

Morgan is an ex-Marine who enjoys writing his own ticket, pretty much, as an assassin. He is tough, and doesn’t take anyone's orders, but when he finds out who his latest assignment is he knows he won’t stick to his rules. Not that he tells anyone immediately, wanting to ensure he gets to see the man of his dreams first.

If you're looking for a space adventure that is just as much fun as the first book, except with more testosterone flying around between the two lovers, if you enjoy reading about dark galacto-political machinations coming out of the woodwork, and if you're looking for a very hot read with two men who can’t stop touching each other, then you should give this sequel a go.
