very good. It reminded me somewhat of Fantasy Lover by Sherrilyn Kenyon, but the guy inside was from the same place as the Character from The Stone Prince. This one and the stone prince should be read as a pair with this one being second in the pair. Julie was really cute and stuff and Tristian was so patience with her and everything. i really like these characters.

This book made me want to run out and become an antiques dealer.

Julia Anderson just got the deal of a lifetime when she acquires a battered jewelry box and discovers that it houses her own personal pleasure slave.

Tristan is the tall, dark, and handsome man all women dream of, and Julia can't help but want to run her hands over him. Tristan has no objections because making love to Julia is the best he's ever known (and he's known a lot), but giving her his heart would break the spell and separate them forever, and he would do anything to keep loving Julia, even if that mean remaining a slave.

I have to say that I loved this story because it drew me in and I just couldn't stop reading. Julia was sweet and honest and did her best to resist Tristan, and he is just so gorgeous that I don't know how she did it.

I could feel the emotion come off the page. It was just such a great read. I enjoyed The Stone Prince, the first book I read by this author, and now I have enjoyed this. Give me more like this and I can guarantee I will keep reading.

I read a book with a similar premise that made this book pale in comparison. It wasn't horrible, but i was hoping to get more than i did.

There was a few declarations that came across unrealistic because of wording (which ALWAYS gets me), but other than that it was a really great read. I love the humour in Showalter's books, well the ones I've read anyway, so I always enjoy them to some degree, and I also find the passion and the lead up to their passionate moments really well done. This was similar to book one, and as someone in my friends list pointed out, Fantasy Lover by Sherrilyn Kenyon, however I personally think it was still individual enough and I really had a fun time reading it!

Excellent read! A bit steamy at times, but that's the Gena we know and love. Enjoyed the premise and the banter. I wish we would have had a bit more time off-planet, but that's the only complaint from me.

her şeyden önce bişi demek istiyorum izin verirseniz...
ROMULİS SEN NE BASİRETSİZ NE EZİK NE GURURSUZ Bİ ADAMSIN ADAM DEDİM PARDON SÜMSÜK HERİF!

Romulis, Tristan'ı kutuya hapsedip kendi zevk kölesi yapan, gördüğüm en hisretik çirkef orospu Zirra'ya aşık, yani life-mate'i olarak görüyor. O yüzden de Zirra'ya yardım ediyor Tristan konusunda.

"I am here for your pleasure. Not his. Besides, your husband's strength is no match for mine." His tone held no hint of pride. Only truth. "Unless that is your hope," he added, his pale violet eyes accusing, yet acceptant. "Do you wish me to kill your mate?"

ay ben öldüm.

prologue, giriş, gelişme, düğüm, çözüm, epilogue bölümlerinin hepsinde ne olacağını adımdan daha iyi bildiğim bir kitaba daha hoşgeldiniz. yani çünkü hem Gena'yı kaç defa okudum, hem de bu türde kitap.

şimdi ben tutup [b:Fantasy Lover|84136|Fantasy Lover (Hunter Legends, #1)|Sherrilyn Kenyon|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348332807l/84136._SY75_.jpg|2384]'la karşılaştırmayacağım, çünkü bence "yazarın üslubu" olayında Kenyon da Gena da rüştünü ispatlamış kadınlar. o yüzenden aşırı benzer kurguya sahip olmalarına rağmen farklı kitaplar. Tristan'ın da Julian'dan aşağı kalır yanı yok.

Tristan'ım benim, deri taytlı belinde kılıçlı zevk kölem adfasdfadf

Gena'nın LOTU serisi ilk kitaptan sonra son derece aksiyonu bol, ve aşırı da romantik-erotiktir hani. Bu muhtemelen biraz daha çerez olduğu için, belki de seri olarak devam etmeyeceğinden son derece basit yazılmış. yani LOTU gibi değil. o yüzden 5 vermedim, aslına bakarsanız muhtemelen başka yazar olsa klişe ilerlediği için 3 bile verebilirim ama daha eskiden okusam 4 vereceğim için aldı bu yıldızları.

Aynı şey, merak edenlere, Kenyon'ın da daha yüksek almasının nedeni bu, Fantasy Lover basit yazılmış değildi. Gena cinsel gerilimli erotik yazıyor, %70-80'e kadar iflahım kurudu allahsız karı. ama çoq güzeldi.

Ayrıca bölüm tagleri aşırı cooldu :D kitabın bdsm ile uzakta yakından alakası yok ama (tristan zevk kölesi ya, haliyle Zirra ve onu çağıran kadınlar herifin Master'ı, ama bu sefer kimin Master olduğunu biliyosunuz
Spoiler Julia, madem master of pleasure'sın, bana yan komşum, ikinci bi ezik olan Peter the tiger(!)'ı tavlayıp baştan çıkartmama yardım et diyor sdfghjkl gerisini biliyosunuz BEN ÇIKTIM BAŞTAN!
) sonuç olarak beni benden aldı.

safe read, bol bol LOL, HEA, panty melting ve sweet tension'ın had safhada olduğu; aşırı possessive, dirty talker, yaralı geçmişli bir statue-like herif okumak istiyorum diyosanız yardırın. en kötü herifin kadının yanına yaklaşan her erkek de öküz öküz gürleyip milleti bozuşu ya da Julia'yla ilgilendiği caring sahneleri için okuyun.

o değil de bi gün biri çıkıp bu tanrı ya da kralların yok kaderin değişmemesi için karışmayan ya da işte güya zamanının gelmesini bekleyen ya da işte anca savaş çıkmaması için müdahale eden kurgunun tersini yazsın lan. hemen karışsanız ya olaya ölür müsünüz aq bi yaralı parmağa işeyin pezevenkler!

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I don't understand why there were some people reviewing it saying it was all "sex, sex, sex". It's a romance novel, what did you think it was going to be? It had some pretty decent scenes in it.

The only thing I would complain about it the ending. I know the lead character Julia had a less than pleasant home life when she was younger, but to leave EVERYTHING; her sister, her store, any friends that she may have that they don't mention in the story, etc., to go be with Tristan? I find that to be a little ridiculous.
