Synopsis (Goodreads):
Okay, that might have been a slight exaggeration. Rias needs his submarine back to investigate a certain invasive plant that's menacing the nearby lake and Amaranthe and Sicarius just happen to be in the right place at the right time to lend a helping hand on a few other endeavors.
I genuinely love watching Sicarius trying to figure out how to be more regular and less assassin-y. Especially when it comes to Amaranthe. His early training messed up his social radar and he has to learn when it's appropriate to be affectionate and when his intimidating scowl should be put in play. Amaranthe is a good sport about it, though, and she's ALWAYS happy to point out when a touch or joke would help lighten the mood. (Not that Sicarius is often lighthearted, but, well, you probably get the point.)
The gang is a little scattered, but they all come together and lend their particular brand of helpfulness (some are admittedly more helpful than others) to the situation. A little levity, a lot of danger, and uprisings of both plant and human nature keep them ALL on their toes.
MAN, I like these guys and their can-do attitude toward thwarting the bad guys.

Synopsis (Goodreads):
After the notorious outlaws Amaranthe and Sicarius helped overthrow the corrupt faction controlling the empire and brought in a great war hero to lead the nation to prosperity, they finally earned their pardons--and some time off. A tropical vacation cruising around in a private submarine? Perfect. But their trip is interrupted by a summons from the new president: they're needed back at home. Trouble unlike anything they've ever dealt with threatens to destroy the capital city and throw the fledgling republic into chaos.Thoughts on Republic: You'd have thought Amaranthe and Sicarius would get a little down time after overthrowing a corrupt empire and helping install a new republic in its place. And, yes, they did get *some* down time, but weirdness and assassination attempts don't take vacation and soon they're on their way back to the capital to help in the way they help best.
