Publication date: July 24th 2020
Genres: Adult, Adventure, Science Fiction
Can Collins and Quinn call a truce long enough to survive?
Quinn’s hectic job as a special agent keeps her busy, but never busy enough to tamp out her inconvenient attraction to CEO billionaire Julian Collins. He is usually the biggest pain in her side, but he can also be recklessly charming. When Collins asks her to open a secret investigation into his company, she worries that extra time alone with him might test her resolve to stay away.
Julian Collins always dreamed of being on Arcadia, a fictional world from his favorite video game. But lately, he’s been seeing things from the game in real life. He feels like he’s losing his mind, and now is not the time to go crazy. His company is going to be split into a dozen pieces if he can’t discover the secrets hidden in the Special Projects division.
After three years of quasi-friendship, Collins and Quinn have honed arguing into a true art form. As far as he’s concerned, she’s off-limits, but also quick-witted and sexy as hell. She’s the perfect person for the job.
As Quinn and Collins delve deeper into their investigation, secrets will lead them to things no one on earth can explain. Will they discover that searing hot kisses can be even more fun than well-placed insults when a whole new universe is spread before them?

REVIEW
I read Heir of Arcadia, not knowing that it had a sci-fi feel to it, I DON'T LIKE THOSE, But, and here comes the big but. I thoroughly enjoyed Heir of Arcadia because of the characters, Collins and Quinn, and the secondary characters, Simon, Riya, West and Alex, and not to forget the AI Delcey. Even Flynn with his tacky, think his ass doesn't stink, was written with such flair.
Deborah and Kimberly executed the plot beautifully and the planet...well, let's say when I discovered that the planet was based on a game Collins and his friends played, I was intrigued.
It was also a beautifully written story, and these two ladies seriously have outdone themselves with sticking to the terms of space crafts object and even done an entire language for the Dracones. I salute you for that.
Okay, now to get seriously into the book. I have to admit. I'm a very, very picky reader. It's hard to keep my attention, and the beginning of this book didn't do it for me, but once Quinn Lehi made her appearance and the relationship/friendship with Collins got introduced, I couldn't put the book down, even if the book had space in it.
Collins is such an intricated character, looking after his little sister when their parents died. But he is adorable with her, and you get that big brother vibe coming from him. Quinn is the woman figure in Serah's life, Collin's sister, and sort of a can't have, for Collins. But it doesn't mean that he isn't trying, which makes their dialogue incredibly hilarious.
You can feel the sexual tension between these two characters, it drives you nuts, but in a good way.
Quinn, on the other hand, takes no crap from anyone, she is an agent with a superior force, and I laughed so much when she got to the planet, by mistake (I'll wet myself) and a task to fixed object got assigned to her. The way she is fixing these object was done masterfully. I wish something like that could happen to me.
But without saying way too much. I love all these characters. I was taken on a journey, meeting the Arcadians, which my favorite was Mo, an old lady that is like a doctor. She was by far one of my favorite secondary characters.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The descriptions were vivid, the secondary characters felt real, the main characters were so three dimensional that it was hard to finally said goodbye to Quinn and Collins, but they certainly did entertain me for a few days. And let me just say, Finn so deserved that ending. I laughed out loud.
If you like the John Carter movie, you will love Heir of Arcadia and I hope they would turn this one into a movie as I would definitely watch it.
I recommend this to everyone. I'm not too fond of space types of books but loved Heir of Arcadia. Deborah and Kimberly are two authors we need to keep an eye out.
