BLURB:
Being the object of everyone’s sexual fantasies ain’t all it’s cracked up to be…
On a mining colony planet a long way from Earth, bandit Jedd Lightning dreams of making enough money to get his ship spaceworthy again. During a robbery at a high-class brothel, he meets gorgeous alien rentboy Storm and is instantly smitten—but the heist goes south and Jedd has to high-tail it out of there with only half the loot.
Enslaved by a fierce Madam, Storm’s shapeshifting talents make him the most sought after whore on Talmak. He literally can’t stop himself becoming his client’s fantasy lover. Sick of enforced transformations, he wants to escape, but he’s closely guarded and has no experience of the unfamiliar city outside the brothel.
Storm is willing—and eager—to do anything to persuade Jedd to break him out of his gilded prison. Lucky for him the arrogant outlaw needs Storm’s help to free his crewmate, held as hostage by a vicious mob boss who wants Jedd to complete the theft he was hired for. Storm keeps blowing away Jedd’s expectations—but with both the law and the mob against them, they could end up with nowhere left to run.
REVIEW:
Well this was definitely different. The more I got into it, the more I wanted something……I don’t know. It was good. The plot overall was good but it was just off to me. And I felt so bad for one of the main characters. Poor ‘guy’ couldn’t seem to catch a break.
Jedd is on a hunt for someone. The guy is a criminal and an ass but Jedd needs the money. He’s in search of a senator and a something he has, and is said to be in a brothel with a girl. But what Jedd finds is the most stunning man he’s ever seen with the senator. And he’s highly confused. And he’s been busted. He gets out with only partially what he needs and in debt to Storm, the whore he left behind. Knowing it’s dangerous he goes back for Storm, but he’s got more troubles. He’s got to save his other friend from the criminal for not getting all the loot, and now he’s on the run with Storm for breaking him free. As Jedd and Storm work to try to free his friend, they come upon more criminal stuff than they knew of. And their lives on on the line now. Hopefully they can make it to a safe place before the criminals get to them.
Man, I felt for Storm in this book. His kind change into what someone desires when they see or touch him. Touching him especially. It causes him to constantly shift and drains him so bad. Hopefully not to the point of killing him, but dang he got close. He’s been raped and held captive. Sold to the highest bidder. Treated like a whore. All he wants is to find his people and go home. With Jedd, if they don’t get killed, he feels like maybe he can find it. Jedd was a good character. He tried hard to do the right thing but sometimes his macho brain got in the way lol. Men *wink*.
This book was alright. I guess what bothered me the most was all the focus on Storm and his ‘curse’. Having to shift like that was definitely a curse. But there’s some chasing and beating up lol. Men on the run. Give it a try and see what you think. Happy reading!
