When news broke that the Beyond series was ending, I was so
happy to learn that we would be hearing more stories about the sectors, and specifically
moving to Sector One with Gideon’s Riders.
We have met Ashwin before; he is a
Makhai soldier, genetically altered elite of the elite in Eden’s ranks. Makhai
are raised from birth to be super soldiers. Every soldier needs a good nurse,
and that’s where Ashwin met Kora. His conditioning isn’t designed to
accommodate romantic feelings, and at the fall of Eden, when Ashwin’s
infatuation with Kora scares her and puts her in danger, he decides to go back
to the Base and be re-conditioned. Before he leaves, he makes his old friend Cruz
promise to hide Kora from him.
At the beginning of Ashwin, we find out that Kora has been
hanging with the royal family in Sector One, The Rios family, and in fact has
been adopted as a sister by Gideon himself. She is adjusting to the religion of
Sector One, as well as adjusting to life as a royal. Image her surprise when
the man she thought was dead, Ashwin, shows up with some of Gideon’s riders!
The Base wants Ashwin in the Riders; Gideon is clever enough to know that, but
is betting that Ashwin’s feelings for Kora could keep him loyal to the Riders.
The relationship between Kora and Ashwin is so sweet, yet so
damn sexy. They both have this innocence about them, but they produce so much
heat together. No spoilers here, but I will say that Ashwin is a giver, and I
was pleasantly surprised! The road to an HEA is not easy for a man who thinks
that feelings are a result of his faculties destabilizing and a woman who has
abandonment issues, but you will be cheering them on. Kora is a woman that is
driven to heal and help, and of course a man like Ashwin is drawn to her like a
moth to a flame. I fell in love with
these two and with Sector One as a whole! The beautiful landscape, the
ceremonies, the camaraderie of the Riders, and the love the Rios family has for
their people has drawn me in. I can’t wait for the next book. I know, I’m
greedy!
AVAILAB LE NOW!
