And when I finished reading it, I desperately wanted more.
The secondary characters, especially the other crewmembers, are almost as well-crafted as the leads. The romance is slow to evolve and thus all the more interesting and credible. (As anyone who knows my tastes will realise, this makes me jump for joy - it's unbelievably difficult to find female dominants in fiction, least of all in consensual relationships.) You probably do need to have some slight appreciation for power dynamics and BDSM to enjoy the novel, but there's no S&M, only light bondage. The romance itself is very much one of dominance and submission, with the woman in charge. There's a fairly interesting plot revolving around space travel, aliens, conspiracy and slavery it's admittedly not terribly complex but is very well written. It was absolutely excellent (and I'm not just saying that because the author's my LJ friend and will probably read this review).Īs with the best romance novels, the storyline and characterisation of this novel would still be worth reading even if there was no romance. I've loved Lyn Gala's fanfiction for a long time but this is the first time I've read one of her published works, specifically an ebook.
As the conspiracies and blowback threaten the entire crew, Tom finds his loyalties and his love starting to turn toward the one woman he never would have expected.īook cover: It's a bit too much of a generic romance cover, not really to my tastes. Her strength and her suffering intrigue him. But when danger forces Tom to rely on Da’shay, he finds himself drawn to more than just her body. While Tom loves playing trust games in the bedroom, where he’s happy to let a woman take complete erotic control, in real life he never trusts easily. Da’shay, an exotically beautiful alien with her own very strange ideas, keeps ruining his plans. Despite being unlucky at love, he hopes to catch the eye of a crewmate. Synopsis: Tom is a soldier and sniper on a ship tracking space terrorists.
