Celestial Chaos
Lieutenant Honora Kharn lives and breathes the Kurran Empire’s Special Ops unit. A highly skilled fighter pilot and warrior, she is selected to go back in time and thwart a plot by the Nym, the number-one enemy of civilized space. When she returns home with a man critically injured by Nym agents, she finds herself dishonorably discharged from Special Ops, and responsible for a man centuries from where he should be.
Andrew Claybourne realized too late that the scientists he trusted to handle his final affairs were anything but. When he finds himself hundreds of years into the future with only the irritable and antisocial Lieutenant Kharn for company, it’s difficult to find an upside to the otherwise interesting new time he’s landed in.
Unable to get along but strangely drawn to each other, they try to forge new lives for themselves as they travel through space together. But when the opportunity to go home surfaces, neither of them are sure if that’s where they truly belong.

It was ok but not as good as the first one, mainly because neither MC was particularly likeable. The heroine is a judgemental & socially awkward soldier who thinks her people are better than everyone. The hero is an bored businessman who is understandably angry about being ripped through time & space. However they spend much of the book angry and or depressed and seeming to not particularly like each other. Also a couple of inconsistencies in mentions for book 1 - Mora is supposedly Lily's bf but in book 1 it was definitely Taz. And they said Lily was anxious about Andrew and kept asking what happened to him. She thought he had been killed by the Nym on earth and only mentioned him in that context once.
