I get it for Seal Team Six, but when the MCs have only just met, wouldn’t you lean on family and friends to help jailbreak, go behind enemy lines in war, or engage in high-stakes espionage? Here, the “Catarina saves the Earth with four friends” episode defied credulity. Also, I still find it weird that all three books have our couples embarking on huge solo missions with only two or three teammates. Other minor faults include Catarina spending way too much time in self doubt and worrying about everything. With all three books featuring a Van Hasenberg female with a secret, difficulty with romantic relationships, a super soldier love interest, thumbs caressing jaws/collarbones, and a moment where they bond via a hug, the romance side seemed like the same story repeated three times instead of three unique romances (the consummation scene at 45 min left in the book, however, was spicier and for once longer than a minute, so props for that).

With rumors of widespread assaults on Serenity raging, communications down, and the rest of her family trapped off-planet, Catarina must persuade Alex to return to Earth to expose the truth and finish this deadly battle once and for all.īut Cat can’t explain why she’s the perfect person to infiltrate hostile territory without revealing secrets she’d rather keep buried.Ī good wrap up to the Van Hasenberg- Rockhurst House War and an okay romance for Catarina and Alex. When she’s attacked and nearly killed, she and Alex are forced to work together to figure out how deep the treason goes. After all, she’s never found a person she can’t manipulate.īut Alex proves more difficult - and more desirable - than Cat anticipated. After Cat tries, and fails, to ditch Alex, she grudgingly agrees, confident in her ability to manage him.

Her enemies, blind to her true strength, do not suspect that Cat is a spy - which makes her the perfect candidate to go undercover at a rival House’s summer retreat to gather intelligence on their recent treachery.Ĭat’s overprotective older sister reluctantly agrees, but on one condition: Cat cannot go alone. Interplanetary intrigue and romance combine in this electrifying finale to the Consortium Rebellion series.Īs the youngest member of her High House, Catarina von Hasenberg is used to being underestimated, but her youth and flighty, bubbly personality mask a clever mind and stubborn determination.
