Description

Her every wish is his command. He lives only to serve her desires. A warrior. A sex slave from a conquered world. What will he do to her if she sets him free? Shaylah Graymist, ace fighter pilot for a brutal intergalactic Coalition, is given a slave as a reward for heroism in battle. The incredibly virile slave named Wolf wears a collar which controls him completely, allowing her to make him do anything she wants. Yet Shaylah has an old-fashioned belief in love and refuses to take advantage of him. A tense friendship grows between her and Wolf, along with deep desires he refuses to admit. The Coalition destroyed his people. He won't betray their memory. When Shaylah returns to battle, Wolf rebels and is sold to a prison colony. She frees him, and together they journey to his home planet. As she learns more about Wolf, she begins to question her loyalty to the Coalition, and the passions between them burn out of control.… (more)

Damn, that's good. It's a ridiculous premise, but one I usually enjoy despite its ridiculousness - a love slave in a science fiction universe. But Justine Davis managed to make both the premise and the people in it very real. Shaylah and Wolf/Dare make sense in their actions, behaviors, and beliefs

(though I'm glad Wolf explained himself, late in the game - I didn't know why he was so resistant). Of course, it also uses the misunderstanding trope, which I hate, but they had better reasons for misunderstanding one another than usual. It would have been one hell of a story without the romance - with it, this is magnificent. I'll be reading it again, I'm sure. Oh, and according to LibraryThing there's another book! Gotta find that. I do love Justine Davis - her characters always come to life, and the silliest premises make sense. This one is unusually good even for her, though. Excuse me while I wipe my eyes and blow my nose...
