I have read and own each and every one of Grace Goodwin's IBP books. There's a very good reason for that. They are just really darn good books. They have a great story and lots of sexy love. The characters, especially her female characters, tend to be really strong, and aren't willing to give up easily.

None of them more so than Vice-Admiral Niobe. She is incredibly fierce, talented, strong, fearsome, and determined. She's going to do everything she can to get what she needs, and right now, what she needs is her mate, Quinn. She ends up having to go in and rescue him from the evil clutches of a Nexus and the Hive, and she does that, and locks the base down so that the Hive can't escape singlehandedly. Like I said, fearsome.

I think that Niobe is going to be high on my personal list of favorite heroines, because she really is just a total BAMF. There is no one higher in the Coalition military than her, and it shows. She has earned every stripe and star, and she's not willing to compromise on her job.

I like Quinn, at least most of the time. There are a few times when I think he is stupid AF and he really makes me mad. He really needs to be smacked around when those times happened. ( )
