Synopsis (Goodreads):
The King of the Eon Warriors has decided to take a Terran as his bride…but finds himself shockingly attracted to the tough, beautiful Space Corps officer in charge of his potential brides’ security.

King Gayel Solann-Eon is dedicated to his people and empire. His father was a hard man and a rigid king, but Gayel is doing things his own way. That includes working with his allies to defeat the ravenous insectoid Kantos. To strengthen the alliance with Earth, he’ll put his own wants and needs aside and take a Terran bride. But as the group of bridal candidates arrive on the Eon homeworld, he’s shocked by a stunning attraction to the Space Corps officer in charge of their security.

Captain Alea Rodriguez has worked hard to escape her awful childhood and make something of herself. Space Corps is her family and her work is her life. Escorting a group of women to an alien planet so a king can pick a bride has left her feeling like she’s on a reality television show. But she takes her job seriously and will keep them safe. What she never expected was her own powerful reaction to the alien warrior king.

Stealth attacks by the Kantos make it clear that no one is safe. Alea is sure that the aliens want to assassinate Gayel, and she’ll do anything to protect him, even as she fights to safeguard her heart. But Gayel is a king and a warrior, and as the two of them fight side by side, he will also convince Alea to risk everything: for their people, for their hearts, and for a bond that won’t be denied.

The thrilling conclusion to the Eon Warriors series.
Thoughts on King of Eon: Endings, man. So bittersweet. Glorious and stabby and, yet, bittersweet. Anywho. This time, we have a king looking for a bride, a career Space Corps captain who doesn't consider herself in the running for his heart, and some alien bad guys who just.won't.quit.

But before we get to the Kantos, let's talk about Gayel and Alea. He has a passel of beautiful, talented human women trying to capture his attention and the only woman he has eyes for is Alea. Which works, because he needs someone who will fight just as hard as he will when things go bad. On Alea's end, she might be a little twitchy about hooking up with royalty, but she's also the type who does not stand down when someone is in danger.

As you might have guessed, danger keeps popping up in unexpected places. You know how the Kantos are. Their ravenous desire to conquer keeps putting them in the paths of the Eon and humans. And they have it bad for Gayel. So they go after him and BOOM Alea and Gayel end up fighting side by side to keep him (and others) safe.

Being a warrior king, Gayel likes they way Alea steps up and fights beside him.

A little flirting, a lot of fighting, a few unexpected beasties, a passel of allies, and a sexy clandestine encounter or two. Oh, and there might be a Eon/human baby putting in an appearance. Yesssssss.
