| Soleyla is an outstanding warrior and guardian, but not just any guardian; she's the daughter of the ruler of the Nine-Star League. She lives in a world where women are the rulers and men are kept as slaves. She has never known any different, so it never seemed wrong, until the slave she'd gotten at 16 and fell in love with, was taken away from her by her mother. Now she is starting to wonder if it's right to keep men as slaves, and if their way of life is truly the only way. When her mother decides to punish her further by sending her to a remote outpost, she decides she will buy her own slave and take him with her. No way was she going out on a remote assignment without something to occupy her. When she sees Kantou for the first time, she knows he's the one that will be by her side. But even though he is well trained, he was badly abused by his previous owner, her mother. Will they be able to get past the trust issues that Kantou has once he learns she is the daughter of the woman he fears above all others?
Wow! The sex is unbelievably erotic in this story; Soleyla manages to make men surrender joyfully to her brand of dominance. It's definitely a sensuous book and has some m/m and BDSM involved that is very steamy. I loved Soleyla, she is a powerful woman who isn't afraid to show her vulnerable side, yet is such a powerful personality that you know she can take on most things and win. Kantou is a great character, while at first he seems weak and afraid, you soon understand why and realize just how strong he really is. I can't wait for the next one in this series to come out, I know I'll be the first in line!
