The villain was villainous and the victims were persecuted unjustly. Very little about this book was original but it was written well and the world building was better than average. While I did enjoy the story I wasn't overly impressed. I've read better books by this author and I expected more. :/ I feel a bit disappointed because I loved the characters and the author's writing style, but the book bordered on PWP and both the situation that made the characters begin an amorous relationship and the one that allowed them to be together and have their HEA seemed just slapped on the book with not as much tought as the rest of the story and bordered on silly In a futuristic world, Haven is a negotiator, a man with healing powers and diplomat ability who is sending on troubled foreign planets to facilitate alliance pacts. During one of these travels he finds a young boy, barely 12 years old, who is taken as a sex slave by a slave trader and who will be soon sold to a customer. Seeing in the boy the same healing powers he has, Haven buys the boy and brings him back to his home planet. The boy, named Wren, is raised to be a diplomat himself, and when he is 18 years old he is given as novice to Master Haven. Four years later, Haven is in a diplomatic mission in a foreign planet who requires that every adult man is accompanying by a sex slave. Obviously Wren offers himself to play the role, but nor him or Haven could image what they will have to do: public sex is saw as a tribute and Haven finds himself in front of an hard decision: fully take his novice or let someone else doing the job... Almost all the book is spent waiting for the defloration of Wren and actually sometime I feel sorry for poor Haven who is always under temptation. Also before their compelled intimacy in a foreign country, Haven was starting to feel something more for Wren than the natural affection of a Master for his novice, and Wren was not helping on it, since he is in love with Haven since the man saved him ten years before. In Haven's planet, sexual release is not allowed and above all not with a novice, so Haven knows that, if he gives up to temptation, he will lose Wren forever. Haven is a stoic character, actually he has not a dominant nature: he has a good heart, but all in all he is taken around by Wren almost like he has a leash around the neck and not Wren. Wren is a smart guy: in a way or another he manages to obtain what he wants, and after all I don't think he would be a good diplomat like Haven: I can't imagine him living a total chaste life! A good sci-fiction romance, with a good weight on the romance side and a little less on the sci-fic one: also the adventurous sub plot and the villain are not so scary after all, and their elimination is quite immediate. All the book is centered on Haven and Wren, and on their budding relationship, better on their 'evolving' relationship, from Master and novice, to lovers. http://www.amazon.com/dp/1596327545/?tag=elimyrevandra-20 aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Haven is a Master of the Order of the Light--a revered sect of mediators and healers that roam the galaxy righting wrongs. Ten years ago he bought a ragged slave boy from Rigel Six and brought him to live at the Temple of Light on Radiant. As Wren's master and mentor, Haven knows the young man is off limits, so he keeps his forbidden feelings for his novice under wraps, vowing never to act on them. Wren has been in love with his master from the moment he laid eyes on him. Haven rescued him from a life of sexual slavery and his gratitude is exceeded only by his desire for the tall, broad shouldered man he calls Master. When the pair are sent to mediate a conflict aboard the huge Tiberion war ship, Haven discovers that he must have a pleasure slave to fulfill the local customs. Wren offers to play the part but will his role as Haven's slave boy bring back too much of his painful past? And how can Haven keep his vows of chastity when he is forced to use Wren in the most forbidden way? In a matter of life or death, both men must act on their hidden desires and hope not to lose each other forever.
