Sci Fi Romance. Singer Mella Archer runs from her husband and the assassins he's hired. Stranded on frontier planet Nexus she tries to steal from Dain, head of planetary security. Mella is sentenced to serve time indentured as a bedroom slave and he buys her contract. BDSM bits and pieces then her husband catches up and she tries to escape. Embittered by her lies and mistrust, Dain returns her to Indenture Hall to be sold again. OK

I was a little dubious when starting reading this book. I adore Cherise Sinclairs work but this I thought this would be a little out-there for me. I should learn never to second guess authors....this book was fabulous. Its set in a different place and time, but there is no doubt who the writer is. Malla is a stubborn woman who cant believe that she is sold into the sex trade, so refuses to deal with how her body responds to Dains wicked sex games (which are very steamy by the way!). Dain is pure alpha male who decides to have some fun teaching Malla to enjoy sex and, of course, gets irrationally p**sed off with her half way through the book and starts beinbg very mean. The starlight Rite mentioned in the title is a fun-filled sex game that all the family seem to join in on!

Overall very good. I will say it is a little light on the BDSM, its more capture type fantasy with a little non-consent. ( )

The pacing was a bit off which was sometimes distracting, but otherwise I really like this one. This is my second book by this author and I plan to read a lot more. ( )

I love this woman's writing. I hope that she writes more to this series and this planet. Armelina "Mella" and Dain were a perfect match for each other and other than the big misunderstanding, which I am not fond of, this was a very good story. Ms Sinclair has built a very interesting universe with lots of interesting people and places. The sex between Dain and Mella is volcanic hot and very much a Dominant/submissive relationship. It is fascinating watching Mella discover that sex can be wonderful and that it is ok for her to enjoy it. If you like D/s and science fiction in your story then you are definitely going to enjoy this book. ( )

Damn him.  The fat, overly jeweled Nexan she'd chosen as her target had picked up two companions in the fancy men's club.
