Keern is bewildered. He meets what he thinks is the perfect woman, and she turns out to be something out of his nightmares. She has threatened to tell her father that he took her against her will, when they both know that he didn't. He decides to leave well enough alone, until Shena's father decides to get revenge for what he thinks happened to his daughter and ends up killing his brother. Even though Keern kills her father, it's not enough. He wants revenge. When he finds out that she's become a slave, he's sure that he's finally found a way to get revenge on her, by owning her.

I liked the story line, but found the characters to be a little hard to get into. They just didn't seem all that real to me, but I liked the story anyway. It's fast paced, exciting, and there is a lot of sex. It is a little violent is some places, as the author pulls no punches about how Shena's life is not good as a slave. That is one of the things I did like about the book, the author doesn't try to glamorize what Shena has to go through, and she doesn't go through the experience without any real trauma. Keern is the one that never feels quite real to me, he's a little to perfect and willing to believe the worst of Shena, even when the evidence is clearly on her side. Slaves of Love is one of those books that will have you thinking long after you get done, about the injustice of Shena's life and what happens to her, and that's what makes it a good book for me.
