Synopsis (Goodreads):
Kee Ildez has been many things: hacker, soldier, bounty hunter. She never expected to be a hero, but when a shadowy group of traitors starts trying to goad the galaxy’s two superpowers into instigating an interstellar war, Kee throws herself into the search to find out who is responsible—and stop them.Thoughts on Eclipse the Moon: Kee and Varro are up next and they have to face a boatload of danger while battling the feelings their developing for one another. Wait. Let me back up. Kee has all the feels right away. She likes Varro. She's wildly attracted to him. Yet he seems uninterested. Which means Kee does her level best to try to pull back her attraction because she knows that sometimes she gets too attached far too fast and she doesn't want to be that girl. The one who's a stage five clinger nobody wants around.
Digging up hidden information is her job, so hunting traitors should be a piece of cake, but the primary suspect spent years in the military, and someone powerful is still covering his tracks. Disrupting their plans will require the help of her entire team, including Varro Runkow, a Valovian weapons expert who makes her pulse race.
Quiet, grumpy, and incredibly handsome, Varro watches her with hot eyes but ignores all of her flirting, so Kee silently vows to keep her feelings strictly platonic. But that vow will be put to the test when she and Varro are forced to leave the safety of their ship and venture into enemy territory alone.
Cut off from the rest of their team, they must figure out how to work together—and fast—because a single misstep will cost thousands of lives.
As for Varro, he's not uninterested. Not at all. But he has some hardcore abilities that cause him to keep a tight, TIGHT leash on his emotions. Because slipping that leash puts him and everyone around him in potentially uncomfortable situations. Kee has to basically blurt out her attraction (with not-so-great timing) before he gets it. But once he does, he's all in. Well, mostly. There are a few hurdles he has to work through before he can give his all.
Meanwhile, there's a lot of shady, possibly-political (of a military variety) dealings going on that are threatening to disrupt the fragile peace between the humans and the Valovians. Tavi and crew might have stopped one attempt at reigniting the war, but there are factions behind the scenes that haven't given up. Kee and Varro? They end up right in the middle of things. Literally, as it turns out. Bombings, kidnappings, stations takeovers. You name it, those two are there.
A lot of danger, a few new allies, dangerous hacking, kisses that steam, and two people who have to work around the obstacles thrown at them before they can be together. I'm loving on these two crews finding their way as they work on making the galaxy safe one dangerous situation at a time.
