Absolutely loved this book
Loved Quinn and Xenia
Xenia is the great niece of Detja, and is very much like her. The daughter of a brilliant relics hunter, who lacks common sense, and a elite solider, with psychic abilities that rival the Overlord. Xenia is the best of both her parents. Her temper can send her into a berserker rage. She has been promised to the Overlord, to be a mate to the warrior of his choosing, though her father has veto power. That time has come, at the worst time possible. Her mother has found the holy grail of lost civilizations, and Xenia doesn’t want to miss a thing.
Quinn Jones is a powerful half breed Coletti Warlord. He has been sent to retrieve Xenia, who has been ignoring her summons to the Coletti home world. When he tracks her down her family is in trouble. Quinn is enticed by the tiny women with the spirit worthy of a Jones female. She’s a trouble magnet. Once he gets inside her head, she is his.
Xenia and Quinn get off to a rough start. Quinn has chocolate. He’s as charming as he is hot, when he isn’t being an arrogant jerk. He knows how to handle her mother. Xenia just hopes when they rescue her father, he will approve their mating.
Family betrayal. Kidnapping. A baby shape shifter. The possible extermination of the Tia Kok. A trip to Disneyland. Quinn and Xenia trying to keep their hands, lips and other body parts off of each other, at least until she turns 21, and the Overlord and her parents let her complete her mate bond with Quinn. Fun fast paced and steamy. Loved Quinn and Xenia ‘s story.
Ms Gail brings humor, emotions, and unexpected twists for all her kick-azz heroines! Sometimes you want to kick the hero’s butt, yet you have to love those alpha personalities! Cannot wait for the next one!
A cunning and clever Faren warrioress relic hunter joins forces with a fearless and ruthless Coletti warlord to rescue her father from relic thieves and save a powerful relic from getting into the wrong hands. Sci-fi action, spicy characters, a quirky cast of alien characters, a mouthwatering hero and a sassy heroine round out some of the reasons I grabby hands each new entry in this series. Light and fun yet seasoned with some sizzle.
Crossing Quinn is the eighth of the Coletti Warlords series. It could be read out of order, but works best in order since the hero, Quinn, has been a regular as have several of the minor characters. The plot itself will stand alone nicely.
Xenia is the daughter of a Berserker and a Faran. She has the best gifts from both races and loves her quirky parents and their family relic discovery work dearly. Betrayal nearly takes it all away from her and now Xenia is on the path of retribution while working to keep her parents and the galaxy safe. This requires her to finally give in to the Coletti Overlord’s demand that she join with one of his warlords and help the Coletti Empire. Quinn the Overlord’s hunter is ruthless and unshakeable and she needs him now. Xenia discovers he’s not quite what she thought and might actually be the male of her dreams.
I enjoyed Xenia’s spunkiness and her clever wit as well as the banter between her and Quinn. Quinn can be a domineering hot head, but he seems to have matured quite a bit over the course of the series and now is a great blend of tempered strength and restraint. He quickly sees the treasure that Xenia is and seeks to both follow his orders from the Overlord and help her with her quest. Now, its not so easy for this pair of strong-willed types and of course some of the dregs and baddies of the galaxy are set on getting the powerful relic no matter what and will destroy her family to have it.
This was exciting, but perfectly paced. I read it quickly and was engrossed the entire time. I wasn’t sure how it would go since a major story arc finished out in the last book, but this new one was fantastic and captivated my interest right away. Loved the comedic moments mostly provided by Xenia’s oddball mother and, yes, Adan gets big screen time to wreck his particular brand of havoc. In fact, though Xenia and her parents are new additions, the story brings a few fun regulars into the mix. Fist pump for Uncle Saul (incidentally, we need a bit of silver fox romancing there, some day).
Speaking of romancing, I loved that though this was a very action-oriented piece that there was some good development of why Quinn and Xenia were great for each other. They are both fighters and have guts, but they share a love for history and preserving it. It was sweet, but the pair were also pretty combustible together, too.
All in all, this was a fantastic installment of the series and might have passed up Vexing Voss and Wulf and the Bounty Hunter as my favorite story. I recommend this book and series to those who appreciate light comedic sci-fi romance
These books as so fun!
I loved the tone of this one. It was very playful and the story flowed easily.
Xenia was awesome! She was one heck of a warrior, and made no apologies for being exactly who she was.
Quinn was a perfect match for her in every way. He was perfectly happy with Xenia as she was but also very protective.
This book was more graphic with the blood and gore than I’m used to reading, but all in all, I enjoyed this one and would gladly read more in the series!
