When the Quint Confederacy and the Kos Empire went to war - again - Queen Samara wisely kept her Rogue Coalition out of the conflict. But staying neutral in a galactic war doesn't pay the bills, not when both sides refuse to trade with neutral sectors.
With her people on the brink of starvation, Samara hatches a daring plan to snatch the kidnapped Kos Emperor from the Quint mercenaries holding him. The Kos Empire will pay a fortune for their emperor's return, enough to feed the Coalition's citizens while they wait for the return to a begrudging peace.
But when her plan goes sideways, Samara finds herself evading Quint mercenaries with the very man she intends to capture. And the more time she spends with Valentin Kos, the more she realizes that he's not the coldly indifferent villain she imagined. Torn between duty and desire, Samara must decide if saving her people is worth giving up the one thing she's always wanted.

Problem 1: The narrator gave Valentin a child-like voice. All the male dialog sounds like it is spoken by prepubescent boy. The female characters are given deeper voices than the men.
Problem 2: The story lacks romantic development.
I would have enjoyed this story more if Samara had taught Valentin how to defend himself and fight dirty. And if Valentin had taught her about philosophy and idealistic ideas. Neither character grew nor developed as a couple during the story. They didn’t grow together. They made an awkward couple. I hoped they would grow out of their awkward state. I hoped it would be a romantic and funny journey, but it just wasn’t. I enjoyed the world building and high-tech space travel, but as a romance this store was a disappointment.

Samara: “Stupid, dangerous and successful- that last one makes all the difference.”
This had the potential for Buck Rogers space opera, only with a lady rogue going on 80s style missions and finding romance amid cheesy intrigue. Unfortunately, not enough time is spent on dialogue and description. Blink and you’ll miss what anyone looks like. What precisely does Valentine Kor do to earn the constant butterflies in Samara’s stomach? And can I really care for a one-note bad guy that gets mere seconds of screen time to utter some cliche line, pew pew attack, and then flee?
There was zero romantic chemistry, partly because there was so little effort to develop the characters, plot or setting, and partly because the narrator gives Valentine a very soft voice. There’s a little more coloring between the lines in the next two installments, but I’d recommend this author’s other series over this one.
Needed a lot more coloring between the lines
