Games of Command by Linnea Sinclair
5.0
Captain Tasha "Sass" Sebastian isn't whom she claims to be. Her past is a lot more colorful than her records claim but no one but her closest friend knows that. After fighting in a war for several years that's finally come to an end, she's started to feel comfortable. Until as a gesture of goodwill, both sides decide to integrate their people. And Tasha has been chosen to be one of those people. Specifically chosen to be integrated into Admiral Branden Kel-Paten ship. Tasha and the Admiral were enemies throughout the war and have fought against each other numerous times. How can she trust him? And worst of all what if he finds out her secrets? Things begin to calm down as she builds a comradery with the Admiral. Her best friend Dr. Eden Fynn is an empath and joined Tasha on the ship shortly after she was integrated. Eden has begun to notice odd readings from Admiral Kel-Paten. He is a biocybe and should not be able to express emotions, however when he's around Tasha Dr. Eden senses something like emotion coming from him. When a notorious rebel Jace Serafino comes aboard the ship hurt and a wanted man Dr. Eden begins to have her own problems with emotions. Dr. Eden knows she shouldn't trust a man like Jace, especially when she realizes how handsome and charming he can be. And Jace has his own secrets too. Suddenly all four of them are thrown into a battle both physically and emotionally and none are sure if any will survive.
I probably made this book sound incredibly silly, and it kind of is. But in a good way. Once again Linnea Sinclair mixes the perfect balance of sci-fi action/adventure and romance. I felt less confused in this book than I did when reading Finders Keepers. There wasn't as much terminology within the book thrown at me that I didn't understand. It was interesting in that it had two solid romances going on at the same time and you get just as much emotionally invested in one as the other. I thought that some of the characters felt similar to characters in Finders Keepers but that's probably my only negative about this book. I loved this book in general and would recommend it to anyone interested in having their sci-fi adventures laced with really strong romance.
