REVIEW
This a love story between a diplomatic aide and the captain-of-the-guard for a negotiation team! The fact that she is human and he is an exotic alient just adds to the wow factor. As does the fact that he is masquerading as someone else with the help of some fairly sophisticated magic, but she is the only person able to see through his ruse. Add to that a deadly plot against his prince and her boss, and it all makes for a very intriguing tale!
The investigation into the sabotage plot also produced some intriguing information about other characters and their goings on, showing a lot more happening behind the scenes than one would have imagined for such a professional diplomatic endeavor.
I absolutely enjoyed the two main characters, Xaviara and Nicholen. Their interactions were priceless. That each seemed to make the other a better person was amazing. And that they still had difficulties, despite their intense attraction, but spent time working through them, was a real reality-based addition.
There are some real spicy love scenes between these two, as well as some colorful language throughout, so if you prefer a sweet read, this probably isn't your thing. But I definitely found it an enjoyable tale, and look forward to hopefully additional volumes in the series.
