BLURB:
Sometimes it’s just about being in the right place at the right time… with the right person.
Sarge is the short story of a burgeoning D/s relationship between two space marines stationed on an alien planet where an endless war drags on.
Sergeant Wilkes is a hard man with a long, celebrated military career.
Brawny, tattooed, and utterly submissive, Murphy is just an interesting diversion… until Sarge realises he has found something truly rare.
REVIEW:
Audacious.
When the first scene takes place on a battlefield, on an alien planet somewhere, with a rather graphic description of a serious injury sustained by one of our lead guys (Sarge) as he’s being tended to by his subordinate (Murphy), you wonder what the heck you’ve gotten yourself into.
Then, Sarge propositions Murphy. There, on the battlefield. While he’s seriously wounded. And Murphy gets a stiffy.
“You’re a good boy, Murph,” he says softly to me. “You get me home, get me patched up, and you’ll see what good boys get.”
You just wonder how the writer is going to pull this off and get the sexy going.
This very short sci-fi story sets up a believable wartime drama on an alien planet. It’s hot and humid, and the enemy is outgunning the good guys. There are dangerous reconnaissance missions and bloody skirmishes. And lots of things going *kaboom*
Bey Deckard is a new-to-me author, and I am impressed. It’s not easy writing science fiction and romance/erotica, but the author does a good job and has fun doing it. There is just enough techno jargon to set the tone without overwhelming. (A common pitfall in the genre.) The lead characters are well drawn, with surprising nuances, and they mix things up hot ‘n sweet. If anything, I could have used a little more info on the bad guys.
Oh, oh, oh, there’s some seriously hot D/s power play on the sidelines.
There is just enough dirty, kinky, spanky, on-his-knees sexytimes to round things out nicely. ’Cause Murphy wants it bad, and Sarge knows just how to take command. Yes, sir, thank you, sir.
Sarge is the start of a series and it’s got me primed to check out more of Deckard’s stuff. Definitely recommended.
