Review: Yours to Command (ES Series #2) by Shona Husk

[Eva Millien]

Blurb:

He would do anything to protect her, if only she'd let him. 

Corporal Sienna Jade wasn't given a choice about joining the mission to Unity. Seen as a troublemaker after reporting an assault by a senior officer, the army wanted her gone. Sienna resents the army for assigning her to Earth Ship Siren, and suspects the fleet's Unity mission will fail. But others would do anything to escape Earth ...

Alex Tariel knew his only chance to get a place on ES Siren was as a prisoner, so he stole water rations. As a former construction foreman, his skills make him a valuable prisoner on board, but still a prisoner unable to control his own life. Instead of keeping his head down, he gets involved in the fights set up for gambling privilege tokens, the only currency aboard ship among the prisoners. 

Getting patched up by Corporal Jade might be the best thing that's happened to Alex on the trip so far, but becoming her ship husband puts him between her and the lieutenant who tried to kill her for kicks on Earth. While Sienna tries to keep control of her feelings for Alex, Alex would do anything to protect her, if only she'd let him. 

As ES Siren faces its first crisis, a little trust and love goes a long way

My Review:

Corporal Sienna Jade resents the army for assigning her to Earth Ship Siren. Alex Tariel became a prisoner to escape Earth. Patching up Alex and making him her ship husband puts them both in the cross hairs of Sienna’s commanding officer in this riveting erotic sci-fi romance.

This fast paced and smooth flowing plot keeps reads hovering on the edge of anticipation with suspense and red hot passion.  The well written scenes and details capture the imagination and the intriguing world draws the reader deeper into the story. The characters are strong compelling and grab the reader’s attention from the beginning.

Sienna finds herself burning with desire for Alex, but he is a prisoner and with her past she’s not sure that she should go there. Alex isn’t interested in making waves he just wants to serve his time, but their attraction is hot enough to scorch their ship and the sex scenes are hot and steamy. The reader can’t help but get caught up in their relationship as the struggle to overcome their own issues but deal with the sadistic commander that will do everything he can to make their lives miserable.

The futuristic world is fascinating and the characters are captivating and while I think this romance was over too quickly, it was enjoyable and entertaining.
