The Princess and the Scoundrel by Beth Revis
4.0
For a novel that is at it's core a tie-in for the now-defunct Galactic Starcruiser hotel experience at Disney, this is a really surprising and welcome addition to a period we know a fair deal about (between Endor and Jakku, the end of the Galactic Civil War) as well as a great entry for both Han and Leia, and their relationship as a whole.
As Mon Mothma and Alliance high command plot the next days of the war after the destruction of the second Death Star and the death of the Emperor, Leia and Han marry and are dispatched by the Chancellor-in-waiting on a PR tour for her new republic: the couple will take a public honeymoon in front of the holocameras on the Chandrilla Starlines vessel, the Halcyon Starcruiser. Classic Star Wars capers ensue, with oligarchs for whom the old regime was good for taking potshots at our princess, Han getting involved in an underground card match, and a local Imperial warlord taking her shot at the couple on an impromptu cruise stop. Revis captures both Han and Leia really well for me, understanding what makes the couple compelling to see together, and making a great argument that romance is a key part of Star Wars while doing it.
