Synopsis (Goodreads):
An alien warrior and a fierce shapeshifter who drive each other crazy must work together to save an entire planet from a terrifying evil.Thoughts on Captain of the Guard: Annora and Thadd have sort of snarled and glared their way through the previous meetings they've had and it was kind of spectacular. Teaming up on this mission isn't necessarily an issue because they're both going to do what they need to do to protect both their planets and Taln, BUT... it does cause a little tension. At least at first. Once they get over the snarly knee-jerk reactions they have going on, it's a whole different type of tension, if you know what I mean.
First Claw Annora Rahl is tough, fierce, and loyal. She stands at her emperor’s side to protect the wolf shapeshifters of the planet Damar, and she isn’t afraid to use her claws. Stopping an evil king from a neighboring planet, who’s intent on enslaving all the planets in their system, is her top priority. She won’t fail her family, her people, or her emperor. Even if it means joining forces with an infuriating rival warrior…one who she isn’t sure if she wants to kill or kiss.
Captain Thadd Naveri is strong, unyielding, and dedicated. As captain of the guard for the overlord of the planet Zhalto, he lets nothing threaten his king or his people. He’s still recovering from his capture and torture by the enemy, but he readily accepts a top-secret mission into enemy territory. He’s less than pleased to share that mission with Annora—the one woman in the galaxy who fills him with scalding hot anger…and burning desire.
To save their allies on the planet Taln, Thadd and Annora must sneak into the enemy’s most feared science labs. As they fight side by side, they are forced to face their overwhelming attraction. But as the enemy closes in, it is a race against time to save not only Taln but themselves.
But before we get to the sexy times, these two have to face a little danger. Thadd also has some unresolved issues regarding his time spent as a captive that makes things a little tense. Some of those issues are PTSD-related and some are dealing the physical consequences of being experimented on by extremely bad (and possibly slightly unhinged) scientists.
Yup, Thadd's abilities have changed a bit. Fortunately for him, Annora isn't one to let things lie. Meaning, she pokes and prods at Thadd until he starts to talk about it.
As for the mission, stopping potential wholesale genocide of an entire planet is top priority. As you might imagine. Infiltrating a top secret lab, sabotaging experiments, and saving those they can are all part and parcel with what Thadd and Annora do. *thumbs up*
