Description
It’s a different world. Space has been colonized, the wealthy fly to work rather than drive, and slavery is legal. Jason’s family has been ripped apart by tragedy. The only way he can save the ones left is to offer himself up as a bondmate. The more he’s willing to give, the higher the price he can command. And Jason is willing to give a lot. Devin is wealthy and heartbroken after the wife he adored walked out on him. He isn’t looking for love. All he wants is a relationship he can control. Buying a bondmate seems like the perfect solution. Yet when he purchases Jason’s contract, Devin gets more than he bargained for.

I read this one when it first came out and absolutely loved it. I plan on re-reading it over the holidays. Tons of angst, smokin' hot sex and a fabulous HEA. All my requirements met.
Highly recommended.

Decent book. I enjoyed the sci-fi aspects and the whole "family dynamics". I have to admit that our main character Devin was a bit of an A-hole and it took me a bit to like him.
I enjoyed the book, even though there were moments of typical tropey romance.

4 stars. I thought this was a very good read about a high power executive buying a bondmate, who happens to be trying to escape his past. Liked the characters and enjoyed the progression of the romance.
I'm looking forward to reading more from this author.

Stunningly simple, yet beautifully written story set in a future United States. I enjoyed this book so much that I resented having to put it down to participate in family obligations lol, and when I had the chance, read until I finished it. Sleep? Who needs it? *grin*
This story is set in a time
Devin is a bi-sexual man burnt by an ex-wife and sick of having to replace his PA's. He decided to capture two birds with one stone and to purchase a bondmate who can fulfill both roles in his life.
For a story that starts in principle with slavery, this is a surprisingly romantic and touching book. While Devin and Jason seem to hit it off immediately, there are a lot of issues working in the background. Doubts and warnings from well-meaning friends and acquaintances heavily play on both their minds. And of course Jason's past is there as well, throwing a spanner in the works.
Luckily for these guys, they manage to overcome all these issues and we are left with a very HEA which is what both of them deserve.
I have to admit that I am quite impressed with this author and I'm looking forward to reading another story of hers.

where, if you have debts you need paid, or you need money (or more accurately credits, as they are called) you have the opportunity to basically sell yourself as a "bondmate". Depending on the amount of credits you need or want, you set the terms to your duties yourself. Jason needs a lot of credits, so he's willing to basically sell himself completely.Devin is a bi-sexual man burnt by an ex-wife and sick of having to replace his PA's.
