The Pruxnae #2
Sweet Surrender
The moment mercenary-soldier Jos Q'Mhel lays eyes on former Queen's Guard Tyelu af Alna, he knows he has to have her, no matter the cost.
When he follows her to a conference devoted to tackling the growing alien threat, he pursues her relentlessly, despite objections from his fellow Q-mercs. The Lady Warrior has ice running through her veins, they say, and if Jos isn't careful, Tyelu could shatter his heart.
Tyelu has reservations of her own. Jos is a spacer through and through, called by duty and honor to protect those who can't protect themselves. But watching her brother find love with his kidnapped bride ignited a bone-deep loneliness within her. Jos, at least, isn't scared off by her haughty reserve, by the secrets in her past, or by the cousin who wants nothing more than to steal Tyelu's place as her father's successor.
But even as they work to overcome the barriers they face, another looms before the deadly alien monsters known as Sweepers have ramped up their attacks on ships and planets alike, placing Tyelu and Jos in a danger so great, it threatens to destroy them both.
Can they trust each other long enough to find love, or will they forever be torn apart by the ravages of war?

3.5 Apedemak stars
I liked the reversal in the traditional roles in the abduction trope. And, if I mostly liked the MCs and the side characters (I loved Oron), the pacing was very odd. The book felt very long while the relationship between the MCs felt very rushed. Also, most of the last part and the ending left me a bit unsatisfied.
This book opens to other books, , and I'll read the next one when it comes out.
