Sara Fields is taking a walk in the dark with this one. I really loved it. I'm grooving on the current popularity of the reverse harem thing. It might not be everyone's cup of rum, but I'm all for it. And putting in the dark and kinkery part of the spectrum and I'm even happier. I need to have a lot more of these books.

Years ago, the Vakarrans invaded the Earth. The men have all been taken as slave labor and women are taken as slave labor of another sort. Among other things, the Vakarrans need human women to be breeders. They don't have female babies, so if they don't want their species to die out, they need breeders. That's why they go and raid planet after planet. I have to wonder if they let human men and women breed at some point, otherwise, they are going to have to go on to another planet in the near-ish future. Hmmmmm. Anyway, all human women were supposed to report to training camps. Women who didn't and do get caught get punished.

On the day of the invasion, Kira's parents shoved her and her two younger sisters out into the forest in back of their house and told them to run. The girls, for girls they were, teenagers and younger, thought that their parents would soon follow them, but they never saw them again. Now, all these years later, Kira and her sisters lead a rebel group. Mostly, the group is just a bunch of women, with a few men, who are hiding and trying to stay away from the Vakarran. Kira would like to have an active resistance, but maybe sometime in the future, not right now.

So, our 4 Vakarran guys are kind of ruthless, but they aren't bad to Kira. Well, depends on your definition of bad. They don't harm her, but they do punish her, which does hurt her, but there's a difference between being hurt and being harmed. I do like how much the guys pay attention to her so that they can figure out what she wants, how she's handling it, if they've pushed her too close to her limit, etc. I also like how they make her their priority. Their whole relationship is about much more than just sex or anything.

I can't wait to see more of these stories. I'm interested to know whether they will all be RH books or not. ( )
