Heart of a Peacekeeper

She’s bad-tempered and bad-mouthed. To a few she is known as Desdemona, to some Des. To many she’s known as ‘The Demon’. Tough as nails, head peacekeeper, Desdemona is not above shooting the balls off a low-life. She keeps a tight grip on her settlement on the outskirts of the Outlaw Sector. But then body counts rise, outlaw activity escalates and a handsome Daaman trader is becoming too close for comfort. Simon is fascinated by Des. Her kick-ass attitude fires his soul and turns him on. He’s out for seduction and will be as patient as it takes. In spite of the teasing of his crew, Simon sets out to break down Des’s defenses and reach for her heart. For Des, her life is getting more complicated by the minute. She could not only lose her life, but her heart too.

If this story was only about the love romance between Simon and Des, it would still be a fantastic read, but Angela Verdenius gives her reader a very exciting, action-filled plot too. It is wonderful to read how Simon tries to tame Des, and how, even though she tries hard, she cannot continue to resist the handsome man. Ms. Verdenius brings ‘The Taming of the Shrew’ to a whole new level. Filled with lots of emotion, kick-ass action, Ms. Verdenius draws her reader into an exciting story and carries her on a breathless ride through the galaxy. This reviewer laughed, cried and was held in fascination, and this certainly will not be the last book she will read from this very talented writer. This book is also available in print, so go out and get it now! You won’t regret it.
