Publisher's summary

Interplanetary intrigue and romance combine in this electrifying finale to the Consortium Rebellion series.

As 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. 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.

Cat’s overprotective older sister reluctantly agrees, but on one condition: Cat cannot go alone. Alexander Sterling, a quiet, gorgeous bodyguard, will accompany her, posing as her lover. After Cat tries, and fails, to ditch Alex, she grudgingly agrees, confident in her ability to manage him. After all, she’s never found a person she can’t manipulate.

But Alex proves more difficult - and more desirable - than Cat anticipated. When she’s attacked and nearly killed, she and Alex are forced to work together to figure out how deep the treason goes. 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.

But Cat can’t explain why she’s the perfect person to infiltrate hostile territory without revealing secrets she’d rather keep buried....

Fantastic finale!

This book wraps up all the stories from the first two books in this series so beautifully! Kat and Alex are so amazing together. You'll fall in love with them over and over again. Every page is action packed, and the sex is hot and full of consent. I'll be listening to this series again!

Great Series!

Couldn't stop listening. So sad this is the last of the books. This series is one I will revisit that's how good it is. Just give it a chance and listen. Narrator is spot on!

It was interesting. Overall a pretty decent story.

The narrator was great. The story had the potential to be better than the first two books but for whatever reason it was a little flat at times. The plot and setting was really interesting and well thought out. There were story lines that kinda drifted off into space and the writer finally remembered them at the end and hurried through them. The lead protagonist was complex which I liked but sometimes annoying. The secondary characters were pretty good as well. The bad guys were not really fleshed out. They really didn't feel a part of the story until the end. I wished there was more dialogue about what the antagonists were up to. Overall, It was decent.

Excellent Series

The BEST narrator! I enjoyed the whole series, I wish there was more coming.

Fun book to read/ listen

What I like about this story is that it's fast paced, a lot is always happening, action packed, easy and fun. However, if you compare it to the previous books the main plot points kinda feel repetitive, even the romance. Fortunately, I'm a sucker for love stories even if predictable and cliché.
The narration is awesome.

I can’t wait to see what they do next either!

I loved this series, this story was so fun and frustrating and ended so well I’m only worried there won’t be another!

Excellent series.

Highly recommended. Taut storylines, vivid characters, excellent Sci-Fi world building and one of my favorite slow burn romances. The author creates a detailed world that she slowly immerses you in... so well done. Excellent storytelling and excellent narration both. The whole series was enormously enjoyable.
We loved the books so much we bought the paperback version’s to read on vacation. I hope the author writes a fourth book. If you enjoy both Sci-Fi and romance novels, it doesn’t get better than this.

Ridiculously good

The storyline accumulated into a fabulous book 3. Great characters, love the love throughout and even the villains had an edge of humanity.

Let’s see more stories come to life in this universe.

Amazing series, full of adventure

I loved all three of the books in this series. Each couple is unique and the story lines are fresh. If you enjoy a good space opera based on a big family you will love this. Very fast paced and easy to enjoy. Just enough spice added, to drive home the bond of each couple. I will be reading more from this author for sure.

Adventure

What starts as a fact-finding mission expands into a dangerous quest to save...everything. Luckily, Catarina is up to the task, even if she doubts herself.
