Summary

The King of the Eon Warriors has decided to take a Terran as his bride…but finds himself shockingly attracted to the tough, beautiful Space Corps officer in charge of his potential brides’ security。

King Gayel Solann-Eon is dedicated to his people and empire。 His father was a hard man and a rigid king, but Gayel is doing things his own way。 That includes working with his allies to defeat the ravenous insectoid Kantos。 To strengthen the alliance with Earth, he’ll put his own wants and needs aside and take a Terran bride。 But as the group of bridal candidates arrive on the Eon homeworld, he’s shocked by a stunning attraction to the Space Corps officer in charge of their security。

Captain Alea Rodriguez has worked hard to escape her awful childhood and make something of herself。 Space Corps is her family and her work is her life。 Escorting a group of women to an alien planet so a king can pick a bride has left her feeling like she’s on a reality television show。 But she takes her job seriously and will keep them safe。 What she never expected was her own powerful reaction to the alien warrior king。

Stealth attacks by the Kantos make it clear that no one is safe。 Alea is sure that the aliens want to assassinate Gayel, and she’ll do anything to protect him, even as she fights to safeguard her heart。 But Gayel is a king and a warrior, and as the two of them fight side by side, he will also convince Alea to risk everything: for their people, for their hearts, and for a bond that won’t be denied。

The thrilling conclusion to the Eon Warriors series。

Book 9 and its is great to finally get the King of Eon's story but sad that this is the last book in the series。 But do not despair there are hooks to a new series set in the same universe。 Loved how the bride selection fell through。 Not surprised a the one who became Queen of Eon。 Book 9 and its is great to finally get the King of Eon's story but sad that this is the last book in the series。 But do not despair there are hooks to a new series set in the same universe。 Loved how the bride selection fell through。 Not surprised a the one who became Queen of Eon。 。。。more

Awesome Entertainment Adventure This book surpassed my expectations。 Ales and Gayel were perfect as a mated couple。 Love her pet Teal! Only a Terran could entice a pet like him to be her companion and help save the day。 The Eon and Terran worlds would never be the same。 Totally love Eve having Kane in this book。 No cliffhangers。Waiting for Carys’s book! I love the whole Eon collection!

Eon Warriors finaleWhat a terrific ending to this series。 I've been curious about King Gayel from the beginning。 He doesn't disappoint。 I thought Alea was wonderful。 What a great couple。 There is, as usual, plenty of action and romance with a HEA。The end was a surprise。 I liked it。 There's a new series coming。 The Oronis Knights。 Eon Warriors finaleWhat a terrific ending to this series。 I've been curious about King Gayel from the beginning。 He doesn't disappoint。 I thought Alea was wonderful。 What a great couple。 There is, as usual, plenty of action and romance with a HEA。The end was a surprise。 I liked it。 There's a new series coming。 The Oronis Knights。 。。。more

Ok but I liked the story once I got past both MC's acting way out of character。 I feel that the same mechanisms were used from the other books for this one。 That really bothered me。 It would have been a better story if they had stayed in character。 I have liked all the other books in this series。 Ok but I liked the story once I got past both MC's acting way out of character。 I feel that the same mechanisms were used from the other books for this one。 That really bothered me。 It would have been a better story if they had stayed in character。 I have liked all the other books in this series。 。。。more

This book really keeps you guessing, will he or wont he? I couldn't stop reading once I started because I just HAD to know which way he went。 On top of the choice the King had to make, there was also the Kantos that had to be dealt with。 I just loved the ending。 This book really keeps you guessing, will he or wont he?

Amazing!On one hand I am excited about the conclusion of the series。 But having introduced a new species of people, I hope we will get more stories linked to this series。 The book was amazing, wonderful, fun, suspenseful and exciting。

EON Warriors Good book to end the series。 I liked the characters of the King and Captain。 Tough decisions you have to make as King。

Karen

This was a great way to finish the Eon Warriors series。Deciding to take a human bride, King Gayel is instead drawn to Space Corps Captain Alea Rodriguez。As always with Anna Hackett books there is plenty of fast paced action, hot sexy scenes, big personalities, and real characters。A very enjoyable read and a series I’ll be reading again。

Aizzia

Loved! Fantastic book to wrap up the Eon Warriors series。 I have loved all of them and have been waiting for the King! Gayel and Alea were fabulous together and their book had everything I love about Ron Warriors - action, romance, high stakes and beating the creepy bad guys!

This book contains resistance to a budding romance, evil attacking Kantos, a "final" epic nail biting battle, and an unexpected finale twist。 I also have to say that our author, Anna Hackett, has cleverly and teasingly left open several opportunities for future stories。 A satisfying conclusion (but hopefully not the end) of the Eon series! I received an ARC to review this book。 。。。more

But her hormones obviously didn't get the message! But stolen moments with the King just make Alea feel like she really is out of his league。The Kantos are still causing problems and their Elite have come up with a new plan to take out the Eon。 But the Eon-Earth alliance is strong and they do have other allies who rally to the cause。 And OMW Sassy (the computer) has developed a new way to cause mayhem! I felt all the ends were tied up and we even see the next generation of Eon-Earth matings! I'm waiting to see if Ashtin and a certain KnightQueen are in a new series 'cause they were super intriguing。 。。。more
