Once a pirate, always a pirate? Cullen Rex, former space-pirate is now Head of Security on the transporter – Medusa. The captain of the Medusa will move anything (and anyone) if the price is right. Their latest mission is to deliver a passenger to the blighted planet of Elexon in time for the Conjunction. Once a prince, always a prince?
Exiled ten years previously, Mycel Laast has hired one of the toughest crews in the nearby galaxy to get him home to Elexon. The Conjunction approaches, a time of myth and wonder for his people, and he longs to witness this once-in-a-decade event. At least that is what the crew of the Medusa believe…
The best kind of trouble
Getting involved with a stuck-up royal is the last thing Cullen wants, but it’s lust at first sight and their new passenger goes out of his way to make his interest clear.
What starts as a fling soon grows serious, but a relationship built on a foundation of secrets and constructed from lies is no relationship at all. Can Mycel trust his brutal, beautiful lover with the desperate truth about his mission home?
Merryn Dexter is a military spouse who, after a varied employment career (from selling sandals to old ladies with bunions to being a health and safety coordinator for a construction company), is thrilled to be pursuing her dream career as a romance writer. She likes The Winchesters, Spike, Hotch, Loki and watching complicated European Noir. Her hobbies include crying at books, crying at movies, crying at tv serials (there’s a theme!) and believes all stories should have a Happy Ending.
Conjunction by Merryn Dexter is an intriguing romance. I liked this one. Some original ideas in this book that kept me turning the pages. I liked the pace of this book, felt like it moved along at a great pace. The characters have a great connection and the arc of the story is good. Cullen is a former space pirate. Head of security on the transporter Medusa. He is a rough character with many layers. Very complex man. Mycel is even more complicated. He has been exiled 10 years ago. A prince without a thrown right now. He is going home, but will he be welcomed or killed? The conjunction is a time of myth and wonders for his people. He longs to witness this event. And the crew of the Medusa do too. Cullen doesn’t want a royal for a lover but that might just be what he gets. I had fun reading this one. I would love for there to be more books in this world in the future. I certainly will look for more stories from this author in the future. I would love to see what comes next.
