2022 book 186

 Everina Maxwell's Ocean's Echo

I think this is set in the same universe as Maxwell's first book, but it seems to be another pocket of it entirely—anyway, it’s definitely a stand-alone. Interestingly, it’s much less of a romance than the first one—or at least the romance is not the focus here at all. I’m not even going to try to describe the plot/world-building because there is a lot going on, suffice it to say that a slightly disreputable dude (whose aunt is a powerful politician) and a career military guy have to pair up to deal with military/political corruption and come to respect each other! Lots of interesting conflicts and action here, a very entertaining read. A-.
