While investigating the Shays, Federated Planetary Alliance Inspector Nick Givliani discovers their employee Cassie Draegen is more than she seems. As the Shays’ resident genus, Cassie is the secret weapon in their struggle to save the galaxy. The last thing she needs is an FPA inspector breathing down her neck.
This wasn’t a bad book.The characters where well written and the plot wasn’t bad. My only real gripe is that I felt I had to read the first book to thoroughly get the whole overall story, especially since this one ended leading into the next book.

In a future where two huge conglomerates fight for supremacy in space, a law enforcement official investigates one of them, because his brother works for them. Instead of doing his job he falls hard for the local AI genius caught between the two companies.
This is the second in a series, and I wish I’d read the first, because that one had the Del/Sun story, and he doesn’t get much here. Some of the world building might have been in that one too, and therefore missing here. On the other hand, the best parts are the descriptions of the company headquarters and other places—the party near the end comes to mind—as well as the accounts of the ships moving through space in their unique way.
The strangest thing is that this book is billed as an erotica, but nothing such happens until near the end.

I found the story to be well-written with a unique plot.

This one is a pretty standard SciFi romance a good enough read if you are looking for a new book.  While this is the 2nd in the series I had no read the 1st, but without having read the it I was easily able to follow this one.  I would recommend going back to the first since much of the overall world building is based on the assumption you have information about it.  This is definitely not the final book so only a partial ending that sets up the 3rd.

No dragon's here, not even aliens just humans in space I think. I mean they could be aliens, but unless you read book 1 you have no idea what's really going on for 50% of the book. I just don't understand the point of this book really Nick and Cass only needed 20-30 pages, they were beyond boring. Every character smiled, hid a smile, smirked, or the corner of their mouth lifted (still a smirk). I didn't care for or about any of the characters. The H Nick is a joke everyone is making a fool out of him, the Shay twins are obnoxious, and Cass Draegen has a smart mouth (so she's fiery earning the nickname Dragon, so here be your dragon). I've only read one other book by this author and I loved it, so it pains me to leave this review.

When the first book in the series was ready for publication the author had requested a review at the blog. Thanks to my liking for Space Opera I volunteered and thoroughly enjoyed the book. I was pleased to find this second book in the series on Net Galley as I was browsing through. I am even gladder that I picked it up to read and review.

Nick Givliani became a FPA detective after his brother got swallowed up by the bad guys of the universe. He uses his connections to get his brother rescued by the Shays even as he has his suspicions about them. Now it seems that his brother has drunk the Shay Kool Aid and might be lost to him forever. Nick knows something sneaky is going on at the Shay station but despite his best attempts doesn't seem to be able to ferret it out and then there's the resident geek Cassie who appeals to him on so many levels.

I truly enjoyed learning about Cassie's background thanks to Nick's perseverance. While the Red Sun temple and order still seems quite mysterious I like the introduction and deeper look into the order. All this cool information flows and provides a great background to moving the story forward with a touch of excitement as they encounter and deal with Space Pirates and the Shay's enemies.

A great second book in the series probably even better than the first.
