Half-Argoran shifter, Arak O’tir knew good people existed. He worked with some of them. But as a deadly Jutak warrior, his work often took him into the less savory elements of society. So much so, he shielded his heart from those he rescued. That was, until one particular mission leaves him longing for a specific female. Someone who made him tremble even if she wasn’t from his world.
Sylvia Forrester never expected her quest for a husband would lead her into danger. Nor could she have ever foreseen that her search would find her captured by aliens and added to a list of potential sex-slaves to be sold for a high profit. While her captors should have broken her, destroying any hope she’d had of a life happily-ever-after, Sylvia’s savior has her wondering if her earlier dreams could still come true.
But Arak and Sylvia soon discover love and passion has its own price.
I would recommend this series, all 3 have been good so far. I really enjoyed this book, while it didn’t have as much excitement as Torkel’s Chosen, it covered a lot of ground. We find out who the traitor really is, Torkel finds out that Faye wasn’t just treated badly but was actually tortured by the bad guys.We also get Arak and Sylvie’s story and get a quick meet and greet with Arak’s father. I would have liked it more if we could have spent a bit more time with his family, like we did with Torkel’s but hopefully we will get something in one of the up…
3 stars- it’s ok The was not bad, but not great either. The main problems are:Â
Really Good Read This one is very good.; If you read Torkel and were put off by the fact that the hero left his Chosen/wife to be tortured for 6 weeks – this book will make you feel a little better. While Torkel is not the main focus – he does have to face what happened to Faye (he gets to see the video of her torture) and feels like the ASS he was. Meanwhile the actual story is Arak falling for another human (Sylvie) who was also being held by slavers. The main characters made for a good romance. Clearly…
