Synopsis (Goodreads):
A queen and her battle-scarred guard are on the run on an alien planet…with a relentless enemy hunting them.Thoughts on Knightqueen: Knightqueen Carys is up and she's trying to work her way back to her people to stop whatever terrible thing the Gek'Dragar have in store for them. Considering she and Sten were kidnapped (royal and guard-napped?), held prisoner on a distant world, escaped from said captivity, and are now on the run from their captors, they have a lot going on.
Knightqueen Carys of Oron lives a life of duty to her people and planet. After the murder of her parents, she worked hard to become a fair and dedicated leader. She never expected to be abducted by the vicious Gek’Dragar and locked in a mountain prison, but having her head knightguard at her side makes it bearable. Older, scarred Sten is duty personified, the one man she’s always been able to trust.
He’s also the only man she’s ever loved, not that she’s ever told him that.
Knightguard Thorsten Carahan has sworn to protect his knightqueen, and lives and breathes her safety. He works hard to keep his mind on his duty, and not on the too young, too beautiful, and too kind queen who is way out of his league. But now they’ve escaped their enemy’s prison and are on the run on a dangerous planet. When they learn that the Gek’Dragar have created a lethal weapon to use against the Oronis, Sten knows he must get Carys home. But with danger at every turn, lines get blurred.
With only each other to depend on, Carys and Sten’s bond of duty and respect tangles with forbidden desire and need. As passion flares, they can no longer deny their connection, and they will discover just how far they are willing to go for their people…and each other.
Given the intense situation they're in, it's no wonder the two of them lose the fight against their long-standing emotions for one another. Yes, these two have MANY FEELINGS about the other, but they've both been pushing them down because she's the queen and he's her guard. Never mind that they work well together, have nothing but the best interests of their people at heart, and are willing to do anything to keep the other safe. Oh, wait. Never mind that never mind. These two are PERFECT for one another.
Carys has been in love with Sten for ages. Sten has been in love with Carys for about the same. It takes a dangerous, terrible situation for them to finally realize they're better together. For both themselves and their people.
A terrible enemy doing terrible things, a little forced proximity, a few familiar faces, a knight who will protect his queen (and the woman he loves) at any cost, and a queen who fights for her knight with single-minded ferocity. MAN, I like these knights and their utter dedication to doing what's right.
