My Review:

Rikki is a rogue assassin who is one tough mama!  She is struggling to throw dead Elio Testrial out an airlock when Guild Assassin Misha interferes by setting off alarms pretending to be intoxicated.  He takes her to his room on B Deck with a guard escort.

They are tied together from an event from their past which Misha remembers but Rikki has blanked out.  His goal is to persuade Rikki to join the Guild and she wants nothing to do with them.  What neither one of them expected was to have a irresistible attraction to each other and then falling in love.

The romance between Rikki and Misha is certainly very steamy and graphic.  There isn't a lot of time for them to get to know each other that well but Misha follows to keep an eye on Rikki.

I really enjoyed the banter between Rikki and Misha - made me laugh out loud!

4/5

Thanks Sourcebooks for sending me this ARC to review, greatly appreciated!
