"author's debut is a passionate read"
Raina Zharov has decided that she deserves to get one of
her fantasies to come true since it is her birthday, I mean
that isn't asking for too much now is it? This birthday
isn't just any birthday, it is her Millennium birthday and
with being a Vampire Queen. Being the Queen has gotten her
lots of men, but none of them fulfilled the dream she
craved and needed. And that dream is having two men in her
body and at the same time, to feel a connection that only
two men can make you feel. Marcus has been the only man she
has loved with her body and soul, but he was killed at the
hands of the vampire that was pure evil, the one that
killed him, made her. So now many years later, she wants
what she has needed, to have this fantasy come true to make
her feel more alive and not the shell she has lived. So
when she sees the men that she feels can make that come
true, where does she find them ?, she finds them at the
slave block of all places. And like she finds out, it is
not just the average slave block, it is where men are
auctioned as sex slaves, and they will have sex with anyone
or anything. But when she looks at them closely she finds
out they are not just any men, one is arrogant who is a
leader, and the other man is the one that follows the first
anywhere he may lead. So she knows she can get the follower
to follow what she wants, but can she get the lead man to
see what she wants, to follow what she wants? Could this
man be the man/mate finally? Johan Stone is used to doing and saying what ever he wanted
or needed, no one told him what to do that is for sure. But
all of that changes when he is sold to the woman called
Raina who is the Vampire Queen. But Johan is not a stupid
man; he knows that this might be the only choice for his
best friend Zane. Zane needs help in a bad way, he is dying
and Raina can save him. So Johan will do anything to save
his best friend. See Zane isn't just a friend, if things
had been different they would have been lovers, lovers that
have been through so much, being Warriors of an elite
Exodus team to a group of fallen Warriors who had been
treated horribly, being sold like animals at actions,
markets. But what cost will Johan pay to keep his friend
alive? Can he bow down to Raina and let her have control of
both of them? Johan is used to being the dominate, the one
in control. Zane had kept hidden from his best friend Johan
his real feelings, the feelings that share him as a
submissive, but is afraid to tell Johan this. Living a lie
has torn him apart; can he keep this from Johan any longer?
But when Zane sees Raina he knows anything is possible. He
sees Raina as their savior, the one that will bring them
out of hell and into a life of pure love and fulfillment
like no other. Zane doesn't even want to think of what
would have happened to them if she hadn't bought them. Can
Raina get the two men to see that her buying them was
something that had been meant to be, that they were meant
for each other? Oh my god, I couldn't put this book down. With this being
Jo Carlisle's first published story, I was pleasantly
surprised. She wrote like a seasoned author that had many
books under her belt, which just goes to show you what will
be in her future. She showed the love and passion between
all three of the main characters that just makes you feel
their emotions. Then you have the evil villain on their
tail that was sent to kill at any cost. This story shows
you that you do have soul mates out there, and that your
soul mates might not be who you expected. The way she
writes just shows you a very talented, passionate author
with a gift to bring her story alive. I look forward to
reading more by Jo Carlisle, she is on the top of my list
from now on.
