I Can't Believe This Book is Out of Print!

Captain Shaylah Graymist, hero of the Coalition and ace fighter pilot, was tired and more than ready for a little r & r. She heads over to visit her old friend, Califa, and finds that Califa has a little surprise gift in store for her - Wolf, a pleasure slave. Shaylah is stunned when she sees the gorgeous man that Califa has saved for her to try out. She has always hated the Coalition's slave policy, but she is undeniably drawn to the sexy man ready to serve her every whim. Still, she cannot force herself to use the control that operates the slave color Wolf wears to make him want her. Shaylah decides that it is better just to keep him around so that he won't be punished anymore and to treat him like a human being for the first time in many long years.Wolf doesn't know what to make of Shaylah. He was expecting another Coalition officer who would be only too happy to take advantage of his many charms, but Shaylah was different. She seemed to truly care for him and spent a whole week without using his body. Wolf finally found someone that he could open up to and told Shaylah a bit about his life on Trios, the gorgeous planet that was captured through trickery by the intergalactic Coalition - the same Coalition that Shaylah works for. When Shaylah betrays his trust at the end of the week, Wolf is furious and feels that Shaylah was just playing with him to give his captors the key to break him. When he becomes uncontrollable, Califa sells him to the brutal mining colony that is the last stop for rebellious slaves.When Shaylah discovers what happened to Wolf because she wanted the pleasure of one evening in Wolf's arms, she feels responsible and heads out across the galaxy to save him. They are forced to hide on her ship together to try to avoid Coalition notice and the close quarters change their relationship into something more intimate, but not quite the friendship that they shared when they first met. Shaylah has just about convinced Wolf that she truly feels for him when he finds out that she has been keeping critical information from him - some of his fellow Triotians are alive! Determined to rejoin his people, Wolf forces Shaylah to take him there and nothing can prepare Shaylah for what she will find on the planet of Trios...I am so glad that I found this book for sale on the internet. It is well written and the characters are wonderful! I really liked Wolf and Shaylah and thought that the worlds that they explored throughout their adventures were well developed, too. the book is a fast, fun read that is fast paced and can be read in a couple of hours. I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of the sequel, The Skypirate, which I hope will be just as good. I know the price is a little high to buy this book but the relationship between Wolf and Shaylah is hot, hot, hot and you will love the story so find a copy and buy it!

Really fun read! -M. Lockhart, Yonkers, NY

I thought this was lots of fun, and I am a sci-fi aficionado. What was left to the imagination was fun for my imagination to supply. The story explores the idea of power (Imagine that! A romance novel with a brain!)-Is it possible to love if one partner has more power than the other? Though power starts out on one side of the equation, a balance is achieved, and then tables are turned-making for interesting and provocative reading. A jaded captain, whose ideals have been trampled by the evil Coalition she is forced to serve, seeks refuge at a resort. A 'friend', a master of manipulation, presents the Captain with a magnificent collared slave, one of the few survivors of the legendary planet Trios. Everything she's ever dreamed of is now within the Captain's power to command, at the touch of a button. But taking it would destroy what she really desires, and trample her ideals even further. There is irresistible temptation, and when the Captain slips just a little over the line, unforeseen consequences lead to grief and remorse. No matter what the cost, she must atone. Risking her life, and destroying her career, she will rescue the slave she unintentionally betrayed. She promises him anything he asks, and his demand overturns all her plans. Power is balanced and fortunes are reversed. The Captain has a dose of her own medicine, and learns that sometimes, when you appear to be losing everything, you just might be getting back your heart-and your soul. This had something I see in too few books, movies or TV shows: architecture. The story was well built and well told, with real wrestling between the two protagonists and genuine exploration of ideas-very tangy and honest. If you can find it, don't miss it!

Star Trek meets Romeo and Juliet

As a sci fi fan and a hopeless romantic I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I liked the fact that the heroine was a high ranking captain and not a helpless 'damsel in distress'. And the big and powerful Wolf needed her help instead of the other way around. These two individuals were meant to be sworn enemies but fall in love instead. Who can hate a story like that? I have not read 'Skypirate' yet but it is next on my list. Wolf's description of what 'bonding to a mate' means was very moving. We should all hope for such 'bonding'.

Finally, scifi and romance merge for great result!!!

If you can find a copy of this book or its sequel, the Skypirate, pick it up and get wrapped up in an all-out action adventure scifi romance. It certainly is time someone combined the two, and Justine Davis does it with flair, excitement, and pure sensual heat. Both books are well worth finding and reading.

Step into toe curling romance among the stars!

With a drop-dead georgous hero (Fabio eat your heart out) and a strong, smart, courageous heroine, how can this story miss? If you need to spend a little time escaping from the humdrum everday doldrums, this book will carry you away. It offers aventure and romance amid a backdrop of the brilliant stars of the Milkyway, with well written love scenes that will make your toes curl! Wolf, who has lost everything and the valiant Shaylah, who is willing to give up everything, battle what seem to be insurmountable odds. Justine Davis spins an extraordinary tale, with a heroine in charge of her own destiny, willing to fight for what she wants, and the man she loves.
