I am an avid fan of this author. This is one of my favorite series of hers. I somehow had missed a couple of the books before this one came out and I can see that I need to rectify that. However, that still didn't stop me from enjoying this book nor did I feel lost by having missed those books. I need to read them just because they will enhance the story. Fantastic world-building, fantastic characterization, and a great storyline.

I highly recommend this to anyone that likes consensual BDSM, spankings, and compelling characters. ( )

Tarek has been blind from birth, Zina was permanently injured by her slave master and his doctor for no reason whatsoever. Neither one of them feels like they are quite whole or really deserve any good things, but then they meet each other, and boom.

I like how strong Zina is. She's ready and willing to fight for what she thinks is hers or for what needs to be protected. It doesn't matter if she is going to be outgunned, outmuscled, or outfought, she's going to make sure that she hurts someone along the way. She's protective and caring, and she's going to do what she thinks that she needs to do.

Tarek is protective too, and wants to protect Zandia as much as possible, and he uses the tech in his head to do that. He has a really caring heart, but he hides it behind his gruffness. He doesnt want anyone to see it or believe it, I think.

I did get mad at Tarek a couple of times, mostly because he had his head up his rear, and because he did something I really didn't like, but mostly I did like him. ( )
