Destiny declared I would be queen of a world I’d never known.Have you ever fallen for four perfect guys only to find out they were aliens and, wait for it, newsflash, so are you? Yeah, me neither. At least until I did. Just when I decided I’d rather skip the ride to the stars for life on Earth, my best friend died in my arms and I went a little crazy. I woke to darkness.I used to think getting up … darkness.
I used to think getting up to go to work every day and paying my bills was hard work, but nothing could have prepared me for the challenges ahead. While my heart had chosen Reese, Briggs, Goran, and Dalton, vengeance consumed my mind. Vengeance for my best friend, vengeance for the men I loved and vengeance for me—because I hadn’t wanted this fight.
Destiny said I’d be queen? Fine, then destiny can bite my enemies in the ass.
*Please note this is a reverse harem and the authors suggest you always read the forwards in their books. This is the second in a trilogy.

Deal Breaker about killed me with how great it is! I loved the world building, the characters, the unexpected surprises and twists. I even loved the ship. The story spun a fantastical tale of a girl growing into the queen, being an ambassador for peace, fighting for love, and doing the absolute freaking unexpected! I was amazed by everything and can’t wait for the wrap up. This is the second in the series and the ride isn’t over yet! The book isn’t a stand-alone and should be read from the start.
Normally I am a die hard shifter fanatic and that is my genre of choice but I took a walk in the alien skies for the beginning of this series and I became intrigued.
When you crash in to a food truck you don’t expect that the hottie who pulled aver to see if he could help would turn out to be a love she could not deny. But then she met his friends and each one filled a need in her heart.
Then she discovers she is a princess destined to be the Queen. During her journey to accept her destiny as Queen she meets several obstacles, a bereavement and support in the four men she has fallen for.
I encourage you to read this as I have and be taken to the stars and be swept away with passion, mayhem and a journey of discovery.
I voluntarily read this advance copy and absolutely loved it and no I have not been compensated in any way for this honest opinion.
This is an outstanding story. The story just keeps getting better. Khloe is learning she who she must be come to take over the throne. Her sister has some tricks up her sleeve to help her along the way. I love how her consorts are so humble and loving. They will do anything to help her.
4.5 stars
I was immediately sucked into this story and didn’t want to put it down. It was sexy and very exciting. I really loved all of the characters and the bond they all shared, plus the storyline itself is fun and unique. Can hardly wait to read more.
Of course I would not of not gotten into this one since I had already been hooked thanks to the first one. Things will be such a eye opener also in this one. Concepts will be reformed will different path to be followed. The challenge will have to be taken thanks to the heart but the head wanted something else too. This will wrap around us holding us captive. Loyalty will have a hand in the wants in my way of thinking. This one will serve up what it says is Destiny with us going with Khole every step of the way in this one. OH boy watch out the Queen is on her way.
No spoilers of any kind included.
I thought Deal Breaker was awesome and I’m going to leave it at that because I don’t want to give away any spoilers.
So it’s going to be heck yeah I most definitely do recommend this book.
This is the second book in the Heart of the Nebula series and I actually enjoyed this book more than the first one. That’s rare. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed both books but this one stepped it up for me. The first book left us with a major cliffy. We had a death and a kidnapping. So we pick up this book right where we left off. Khloe has been snatched. No worries though, she doesn’t stay separated from her guys for long. This little turn of events sets their future in motion though. She had no desire to take over the throne, until they took things from her she can’t get back. Now they are headed back to their home for her to be queen.
Their journey of course can’t be an easy one. There are some little twists that pop up along the way. Khloe handles each of them like a true queen should. The guys really shine in this book as well. We definitely get some sexy times in this one. We have some really sweet and emotional times as well. Plus we get to learn more about where she came from and most importantly…WHY? Lots of information in this one but it is well balanced with the romance and the action.
As usual we have an ending that is like shut your mouth, what is happening now? But it wasn’t quite as bad as the first one. Definitely has me intrigued to see what is going to happen in the third and final book in the series.
I guess the best thing I can say about this second book is that I thought I was hooked by the first story…but I was wrong. From the first pages, I was drawn back into this world and I am anxious to read the next chapter. To me, it was all about Khloe learning to come into her own. There was much love and closeness growing between Khloe and “the boys” but mostly I saw how she took charge of her destiny. She deals with a big fear in her life and manages to deal with space ‘bad guys’ (for lack of a better term) and start to live the life of the queen she is meant to be.
I truly enjoyed this ride – wilder than book one, and that’s saying something! Khloe has to deal with her new “real”, drawing upon her own strength as her boys have been separated from her. Loved, loved, loved Reese, Briggs, Goran, and Dalton. More of their individual personalities come to light and Khloe becoming closer to each of them – and all of them – makes it a touching, hawt, and smexy read. Read this book while I was mostly holding my breath. Love the characters, and the story, and can’t wait to read what the future has in store for these five.
Khloe with a K awakens with a start alone and in the darkness. Her mind still in shock seeing her BFF killed in the hanger amongst all the other betrayal and carnage left behind. Did the enemy hold her captive or did she somehow get away? This book shows how Khloe truly comes into her own. The ship slowly reveals her own secrets to Khloe and the others aboard. Secrets are slowly revealed, and Khloe truly starts to shine from within like a supernova. This book DOES end with a cliffhanger though, so prepare yourself! In typical fashion this book had lots of reveals and definitely leaves you desperate for MORE! I can’t wait to see the true Queen take her place!!
When Khloe wakes in darkness she is totally alone, she can’t even feel her men. Then a bright light flashes and suddenly Dalton is there, her darkness even though she can’t feel him. He reassures her she’s not alone then leaves to secure this ship for them leaving the man responsible for her bestfriend Grace’s death for her.
Once she had taken care of him, she turned her attention to Dalton. He wanted to cut her to bring Reese to them, but couldn’t do it so she does it herself. But Dalton is seriously wounded and she needs to do something to keep him alive until Reese and the others reach them.
The guys arrive in time to save Dalton, and Briggs removes the dampener and Khloe can once again feel the bonds. Things don’t get really exciting until after she bonds with Dalton although they do get very steamy.
I love the ship and how it does things to please Khloe. The Scepter is still a bit of a mystery as well as powerful. Many surprises are in store for all of them and each page is either steamy or informative.
I really can’t wait for the conclusion to this trilogy!
2nd story in the series for the best enjoyment you got to read the Queenmaker first. An equally awesome read! It’s how all these people make and how this started!
Ok on to the review
Reese, Briggs, Goran, and Dalton all wonderful perfect guys but, yea there is always that but in there isn’t it? Well they are aliens . Yes the ones from space. And thing go a little more nuts for Khloe to. Because she finds out she in not only an alien too but she is there queen! Oh and some aliens want her dead. Not going to happen. It’s time for Revenge for the death of her friend or maybe it’s time to take her place as Queen? this has been a wild ride home but remember it’s not the end yet. OMG I can’t wait for the next book in this amazing series. WOW awesome characters, action, some drama, mystery and so much more. Don’t miss it I could not put it down.
Voluntarily review a copy and I honestly loved it.
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
This was a great book !
Khloe is having a very strange day.
She found out that she is an alien, and she has 4 consorts.
( Reese, Briggs, Goran, and Dalton )
Will she be able to handle the responsibility of being a queen ?
Loved the characters + the storytelling !
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
The authors step it up a notch in this second in the trilogy. This book picks up right where the last left off and takes us on what should’ve been a long and boring ride back to the home planet. Or as boring as it can be when you’re in love with four hot guys. But nothing is ever that easy for Khloe and her guys. This book is anything but boring and the ending had me throwing my kindle and screaming for the next book.
Deal Breaker (Heart of the Nebula Book 2) Kindle Edition
by Heather Long (Author), Rebecca Royce (Author)
I received a complimentary eARC/review copy. I am choosing to leave a fair and honest review
If you haven’t had the chance to read the work from this partnership of authors, start now. But start with book one, these are not stand-alones, but intricately plotted stories with intrigue, romance and space battles. Ms. Long’s talent for physical description melds well with Ms. Royce’s ability to focus on the emotional to the point of near-spirituality. Together they give a sci-fi reverse harem romance that works on all levels, as a romance, an adventure and as a space opera. It is as if Christine Feehan and Sherilynn Kenyon got together with Catherine Asaro.
The story of Khloe with a K and her four Consorts continue, starting with Princess Khloe waking up on an enemy ship and continuing through trials that will lead her to be the Queen she must be.
AS I said, this story would work without the romance and the romance would work without the danger. This makes it impossible to put the book down. I had to know what happened to Briggs, Reese, Dalton and Goran. Okay, mostly Dalton, but I also needed to see Khloe succeed. As with most Royce and Long heroines, Khloe is strong enough to catch her men when they fall and wise enough to let them catch her
The love scenes are well handled. Romantic at times and flat out erotic at others.
I cannot wait for the next/final novel in this series and I look forward to these authors working together again
5 brilliant stars out of 5

Khloe was kidnapped by an unknown foe who had just killed her best friend. Her world was already crumbling around her. She found out she was an alien, her friend was a cyborg and she apparently had 4 x consorts! That is a very, very mad week!
Khloe awakens and finds that Dalton, Her Darkness, has made it on board with her and they soon realise that Khloe needs to call the others to her the only way open to them, by injuring her.
Now safely back abour her ship the soon-to-be Queen and her consorts are on the way “home”. They need to ensure that Khloe becomes Queen so that her sister can step down. Her sister is a good queen but being without a Talent means that she must rule with a council. A council that could always be open to corruption.
Reese, Briggs, Goran and Dalton. My oh my. On their own they are stunning men but all together? No wonder Khloe’s brain occasionally gets stuck in lust mode! They all have very individual personalities but all would gladly die for her. But Khloe is developing some very new powers and her wonderfully swirling tattoos are increasing in colours.
Khloe has some major catch-up to do. Oh and her ship seems to evolve some very handy new abilities!
Again RH is not usually my thing but I’ve got sucked in!
