Synopsis (Goodreads):
Okay, maybe hijacking an alien commander’s warship wasn’t her best idea…

Genius computer geek Wren Traynor prefers her high-tech comp lab to socializing with people, and she definitely prefers it over crawling through the bowels of the huge Eon warship she’s hijacked. When Earth’s Space Corps blackmails her into this deadly mission, Wren will do anything to help her beloved sisters and save the Earth from invasion by the insectoid Kantos aliens. That includes entering into a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the tall, hunky, and seriously enraged Eon war commander who captains the Rengard...

War Commander Malax Dann-Jad is a born protector and has forged a successful career in service to the Eon Empire. Haunted by an early mission where he lost good warriors, he’s dedicated to protecting his ship and its crew. Especially since his warship is carrying a special, top-secret cargo. But one tiny, infuriating Terran puts all that at risk when she commandeers his ship and refuses to listen to reason!

When the ravenous Kantos set their sights on the Rengard - using sneaky, underhanded tactics - Malax finds himself with an armful of curvy woman. He and Wren must join forces to fight back, and are shocked at their improbable, intense attraction. But with lives at risk, both will learn that strength comes in more ways than one, and love can hit when you least expect it, and that in order to survive, you have to put everything on the line!
Thoughts on Heart of Eon: Wren's hijacking shenanigans were mentioned in a previous book and, well, they intrigued me. Those Eon warriors are big, bad, and kinda badass, so the idea of a little human woman sneaking in and taking control of a warship from under a War Commander's nose made me laugh.

Wren certainly lived up to the hype. She's smart and sassy (as is her newly acquired friend) and she kind of delights in irritating Malax. She calls him WC, for Pete's sake. HA. Admittedly, her actions are a lot less delightful when the Kantos try to join the fun. Wren's fiddling with the ship's systems has left them not as able to defend themselves as usual. Which isn't great when the bad aliens appear.

But, as you might have guessed, Wren and Malax make a formidable team once they stop pushing against one another. Wren's got the smarts and Malax has the military know-how. Also, they send sparks up when they're near one another. Not literally.

Danger (on a cosmic scale), sexy times (on a more intimate scale), brilliant, sassy computers and the brilliant sassy lady who interacts with it, a glowering mountain of an alien War Commander, and a sisterly reunion. Oh, and let's not forget a shipful of cocky human soldiers. GOOD TIMES.
