It reads like erotica, but with less sex, if that makes any sense. I wouldn't call it romance, because while there is a romance of sorts, it takes a backseat to an exploration of post-traumatic stress disorder and Stockholm syndrome. The world building is interesting and solid (alien planets, evil corporations, transportation via sound), and I would've liked more of it. The family relationships are well done, and I empathized with the characters even if I couldn't always see how they understood each other. An interesting, if quick read, but it needs another hundred pages to make the final relationship outcome more believable. no reviews | add a review

HTML: Worst Possible Birthday: Being sold into slavery by none other than your lover. Tover Duke's rare ability to move anything instantly across light-years of space makes him a powerful, valuable asset to the Harmony Corporation, and a rock star among the people of the colonies. His life is luxurious. Safe. Routine. He has his pick of casual hookups passing through Dadelus-Kaku Station. His one brush with danger of any kind—the only bright spot in his otherwise boring life—is Cruz Arcadio, a dark-haired, hard-bodied engineer whose physical prowess hints he's something much more. When a terrorist abducts Tover, hurling him into a world of torture, exploitation and betrayal, it's with shattering disbelief that he realizes his kidnapper is none other than Cruz. As Tover struggles to find the courage to escape his bondage, he begins to understand the only way to free his body, his mind—and his heart—is to trust the one man who showed him that everything about his once-perfect life was a lie. Warning: This story contains descriptions of extreme violence and assault. It also contains graphic sexual depictions. It also has a lot of birds. And pirate movies from the future. And romance. .No library descriptions found. |
