Summary
Okay, maybe hijacking an alien commander's warship wasn't her best idea....
Genius computer geek Wren Traynor prefers her high-tech comp lab to socializing with people, and she definitely prefers it over crawling through the bowels of the huge Eon warship she's hijacked. When Earth's Space Corps blackmails her into this deadly mission, Wren will do anything to help her beloved sisters and save the Earth from invasion by the insectoid Kantos aliens. That includes entering into a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the tall, hunky, and seriously enraged Eon war commander who captains the Rengard.
War Commander Malax Dann-Jad is a born protector and has forged a successful career in service to the Eon Empire. Haunted by an early mission where he lost good warriors, he's dedicated to protecting his ship and its crew. Especially since his warship is carrying a special, top-secret cargo. But one tiny, infuriating Terran puts all that at risk when she commandeers his ship and refuses to listen to reason.
When the ravenous Kantos set their sights on the Rengard - using sneaky, underhanded tactics - Malax finds himself with an armful of curvy woman. He and Wren must join forces to fight back and are shocked at their improbable, intense attraction. But with lives at risk, both will learn that strength comes in more ways than one and love can hit when you least expect it, and that in order to survive, you have to put everything on the line.

Love this couple
I think this is my favourite book so far in the series.
I'm looking forward to Kiss of Eon coming out on Audible UK

The Book
I was hooked on this story before I even got my eager little mitts on the book.....
And you want to know why, don't you? Like most of Anna Hackett's stories, it began in the previous book. My mouth watering and anticipation rising I've been on tenterhooks waiting for 'Heart of Eon', the third book in the new Eon Warriors series to come out. It was everything I expected, and more, and I expect a lot from the authors on my 'all-time favourites' list, and Anna Hackett, with her wonderful imagination and exceptional story telling skills, regardless of genre, has occupied a place on that list for many years. I absolutely love her books and have never been disappointed.
But you want to know about this one, right? Okay, but where to begin, that's the tricky bit and I really don't want to give spoilers. The heroine in this story, curvy Wren Traynor, is a usually office and lab bound computer genius with out of this world hacking skills, a love of chocolate, caffeine, exercise avoidance and very few warrior type skills but unfortunately for her, she, like her older sisters Eve and Lara, has been blackmailed into a suicide mission of mega proportions given her background, by the Terran Space Corps. She's supposed to hijack the Eon Warship 'Rengard' and move it to a rendezvous point. Sounds simple enough for a brilliant, office bound hacker, but not when you're actually on board the warship in question, hiding in the maintenance ducts, running out of food, desperately in need of a shower, and chocolate, and coffee, and being constantly hunted by the crew whilst fighting a running tug-of-war battle with the captain to keep control of the ship.
Our hero is the leader of said crew, War Commander Malax Dann-Jad, a usually calm and patient man who has been reduced to practically tearing his hair out in frustration trying to capture Wren. She was putting them in a very dangerous situation as they vied for control of the ship and it wouldn't be long before the insectoid Kantos noticed the ship's erratic behaviour and came after them, and the secret they carried. He needed her to believe him when he told her that her sisters were safe and mated to Eon warriors, but, she didn't. Of course she didn't, why would she? If he could only see her, talk to her face to face, explain.... Her falling out of his cabin ceiling on top of him really was the very last way he imagined meeting her for the first time, but there was something about her that drew him.... and then she got away, again! But he did get something out of the encounter, besides bruises....
I absolutely loved this book, filled with action of the pitched battle kind, humour and steamy bits, I laughed, or chuckled, or gasped, all the way through it. Wren really isn't, on the outside at least, the stuff of heroes, but her kind heart and actions over the course of the story, always trying to do what was right regardless, very definitely made her into one and I loved her. Malax Dann-Jad is very much a hero from beginning to end, not to mention hunkalicious and hot, hot, hot. The characters from the previous two books are woven into the story and make appearances along the way, as do the Kantos, Space Corps and an entirely new type of being makes an appearance, or rather, doesn't, not...exactly..., but you'll see what I mean when you get to Sassy, and I love her too. I really hope we meet her again at some point. Also making a brief appearance is the anomaly that is Scruffy and I'd love to read more about him too. I got so engrossed in the story that I completely left the here and now and became part of the there and then, so much so that I didn't want the book to end, but there is the beginning of a new story woven into the latter parts of this one, and now I can't wait for it to continue. Easily worth so much more than the measly 5 star maximum rating I'm allowed to give....
The Audio
I got this as an ebook when it was first published, and I'll freely admit that I'm totally addicted to this series. I've read this book a few times since then, but I now have intermittent problems with my eyes, so I've turned to audio books to fill my need to re-read my favourites. I did try audio books a few years ago, but the narration was so bad, even dreadful, that I gave up on them for a while, however, Anna Hackett seems to get significantly better narrators than some I've listened to and Vivienne Leheny, the narrator of this book is pretty good, actually, one of the best I've heard. She seems to understand the all action, gritty nature of both the characters and the story, maintaining the edginess to the very end. She really is very good, I wasn't disappointed in any way, and I got all the other books in the series that are available as audio versions to back up my kindle versions, just so I don't get withdrawal symptoms when I can't read them. The audio versions also have the added bonus of allowing me to do other things whilst listening. I find I listen a lot more than I read these days and have already listened to this one several times since getting it. I was lucky enough to get a free code for this audio book, and as I had already posted an honest review of the ebook several years ago, I decided to update that review with my personal opinion of the audible narration, especially as I've been so disenchanted by audio books in the past.
