I received an ARC through NetGalley for an honest review. 
 I really liked both Zan and Tatiana and am happy that they finally got their own HEA. Tatiana is much like many of the women in this series. Strong and willing to fight for what they believe in, and Tatiana has had to fight more than most to prove that she is nothing like the man who shared his DNA with her. Being the daughter of the ex tyrant of Sector four has made life more than difficult and she has to constantly prove to everyone that she isn't the spoiled princess many believed her to be while working to stay as impartial as possible in Sector politics because whether she likes it or not she is still a Stone and a living reminder of the hell her father put people through. Zan is an O'Kane. For fans of the series that says is all, but for those who may not have totally slid into the decadent abyss of the Beyond series, it means that he is a mix of strength, intelligence, loyalty and honor that is packed into an uber sexy alpha male package. What I loved about Zan is how he really listened to what Tatiana was saying she wanted and pushed past his own overriding need to do everything for her and let her find her way. 
 This novella has it all: a great story that gives some insight into what it was like before Dallas O'Kane became king, action, hot sex and get to catch up with some of our favorite O'Kane's, as well as get to see the women show off just how badass they are.
