Week 21 Review: Only Good Enemies

From Goodreads:

New York Times best-selling author Jennifer Estep continues her Galactic Bonds series with a new, action-packed adventure that blends science fiction, fantasy, and historical romance. This rollicking space opera features a mix of magic and technology, along with a soul mates, slow burn, and enemies-to-lovers story. Perfect for fans of Star Wars, Bridgerton, and Pride and Prejudice.

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.

My Review:
I loved reading this book! I love her writing, and I loved the first book, and I was looking forward to this book. Being back in this world again with these characters, yeah, it was a fantastic time! And since she's about the only one who knows that their truebond wasn't destroyed, it was interesting to see how things played out from there!

The Techwave have a need for Vesper, she's a talented inventor, what with her seer magic. Which quickly gets things into action, and brings back her and Kyrion together. There was the double threat of the Techwave and of Callus Holloway, and they both caused a lot of trouble for our pair! 

It sucks for Vesper but her mom is a figure in this book, and of course things aren't pleasant between them. I'm pretty sure we fully got just how awful she was in the past. I wasn't sure how it would happen, but I wanted Vesper to vent the poison of her past. When it happened, it was really satisfying to read 

That ending was really epic! I loved watching them confront all the evil in the Imperium! They also learned so much, and I can't wait to see how it'll all play out! I think there might be one more mystery or two lingering out, or maybe just the specifics, but I need to read the next book!  

Loved reading this book, and I can't wait for the 3rd!
