Review: Only Good Enemies


Book Review: Only Good Enemies, by Jennifer Estep, 5 stars



A WOMAN ON A MISSION . . .

My name is Vesper Quill. I used to be a lowly lab rat, toiling away in obscurity developing brewmakers and other household appliances. But thanks to my seer magic and my own ingenuity, I’m now a Regal lady and the head of a successful corporation.

My mission? To destroy the Techwave, the dangerous group that has stolen my designs and plans to weaponize them against the Imperium. But when my mission takes an unexpected turn, I’m once again surrounded by enemies and fighting for my life.

Further complicating matters is Kyrion Caldaren, an arrogant Regal lord whose fate is bound to mine. Kyrion doesn’t realize the two of us still have an unwanted connection that puts us both in grave danger . . . or does he?


A MAN SURROUNDED BY ENEMIES . . .

My name is Kyrion Caldaren. As the leader of the Arrows, the Imperium’s elite fighting force, I’ve been tasked with tracking down and destroying the Techwave before they seize control of the Archipelago Galaxy.

My other mission? Find a way to assassinate Lord Callus Holloway, the Imperium ruler who wants to take my psion power for his own. Holloway is also a threat to Vesper Quill, who haunts my thoughts, despite the broken bond and distance between us.

When I realize Vesper is in danger, my priorities change, and I vow to use all my telepathic, telekinetic, and other abilities to help her. I will save Vesper from her enemies and mine—even if I have to burn down the whole bloody galaxy.

Review: Only Good Enemies is the second book in the Galactic Bonds series and the much awaited (at least in my case) sequel to Only Bad Options. I loved book one and I absolutely loved book two as well. 

As I read the first few pages of Only Good Enemies I was a bit on the fence about it, as it was mostly a recap of what had happened in the first book. But once Vesper and Kyrion got back together? Non stop action, their usual banter and the lovely romance that is developing between them.


   


Although Vesper and Kyrion get their much deserved happy ever after (sort of) at the end of the book, there are still lots of unresolved plot issues. Which means that now I will be anxiously waiting for the next installment in the series.

If you love the genre, this is a series I definitely recommend, although you should start with book one to properly understand and enjoy Only Good Enemies.

Happy readings!
