Queen's Man
by
K.D. Sarge (Goodreads Author)
Joss Ravid works security for a major tribe on Kari's Star, but he'll tell anyone that he doesn't actually care if the ruling families kill each other off. He’s not interested in politics; he just likes getting paid to hit jerks, and also the many opportunities for hitting on straight men. The Galactic-imposed Interdiction may keep Kari citizens stuck on their war-torn wor...more

I've been putting this one on hold for a while after reading Knight Errand and Faithful Squire because I wanted to have a book in standby I was sure I would enjoy. So today was the day - I finally broke down and started reading.
And man, did I enjoy it. Joss is such a character, larger than life, that you can't help but be like everybody else - you're captivated. You feel sorry for Zeke for you can sympathize how enthralled you can be by Joss.

A fun sci-fi/fantasy M/M romance about two men and a girl... Um, don't worry, the girl has no role in the romance, except for some well-timed snarky comments.
Joss, an assassin/spy, or in his own words - a thug, wakes up one morning in time to see his latest one-night stand assassinated before him, with the guy's daughter looking on. Retreating, he takes the girl with him, and thus begins the adventure. Joss, Paige (the girl) and Zeke (Joss's stalker and sometime lover) must somehow stay ahead of...more

3.75 stars. Fun m/m adventure/romance set on another planet. Joss is a security agent for one of the major tribes on the world of Kari's Star. He's a force to be reckoned with, gorgeous, lethal, and very fickle. Waking up after a one night stand he sees his lover assassinated before barely escaping with the man's young daughter. The girl attaches herself to him as the only person able to avenge her father and keep her safe. At the same time another of Joss's old lovers, the obsessed and determin...more
So much fun! Joss is the most delightful mix of Taro's deadliness and Rafe's flirtatiousness.
The story felt like it began rather abruptly. The assassination was quite a way to open the story in itself, but then we're thrown right in with Joss trying to figure out which tribe might have ordered it and who might have known about it. It just felt so overwhelming that I had to come back and see if maybe there had been another book set on this world that I'd missed somewhere. And Joss's unbelievable...more

This book was so much fun. SciFi but of a low-tech variety, with wonderful characters, adventure, snark, hot guys, lethal grandmothers, smart teenagers, cross-dressing, sewer tunnels, strong women, besotted love... and great writing. Joss is flamboyantly in-your-face and equally likely to proposition, insult or hit a homophobic idiot. This book would be fine for older teens - there is sex but off-page. This is the third book in the series begun in Knight Errant. It would stand alone just fine, b...more

Interesting adventure story, my favorite was the bomb backing Grany. Most hated word - mife its the term for husband and I thought it was just silly and why not just say husband instead. Joss is a lot of fun but the ending surprised me, since I thought he was acting out of character. Usually he is somewhat sluty, picks fights, complaines and doesn't really do commitment or being polite, but flirts a lot and is usually loyal, now does that sound like a perfect society husband? And he be...more

A fun quick read. Joss is hilarious and I loved him and Zeke together. I'm definitely going to look for more books by this author.
Oh, what can you say about Joss? Snarky, sassy, fun-loving, thinks girls have cooties, able to kick ass throughout the galaxy, ...and so much like Taro, who helped train him. It took me a little while to figure out the timeline between the other books of the Dream 'verse, but it really wasn't needed in order to enjoy the hell out of this book. There were wonderful and vibrant characters in this story, who many times had me laughing as I was biting my nails, wondering how they were going to get o...more

Good book but I wish there had been more romance.
3.5 stars. Good m/m scifi romance about Joss, a bodyguard who sees his one-night stand gunned down, then saves the guy's daughter and spends the rest of the book protecting her, his boss, and his "stalker". While it was a fun read, I couldn't relate to Joss' over-the-top perfection.
