What is destined cannot be changed.
Chris has had a monumentally bad month. First, an aggressive band of aliens invaded the Earth, conquered the world, and now he’s fighting for survival in the mountains with his family and the neighborhood bigot. Just because he’s barely out of his teens and a bit on the scrawny side doesn’t mean he can’t watch out for his mom, sisters and younger cousin. Chris keeps searching for the brighter side of things, but his humor is wearing thin. Fear can do that to a guy.
Lasar and Nary are a soul matched pair of warriors from Alashar. Lasar is Nary’s Ahna, the one who dominates him, and Nary is the Nasha, or submissive, to Lasar. Every Alasharian, regardless of orientation, needs the balance of the power exchange to exist peacefully within their lifelong soul match bond. When Lasar is awarded a war prize, he sends Nary to look over the recent arrivals.
Chris and his cousin Morgan are captured and sent to the slave cages where they discover from the other imprisoned young men that they are destined to be sex toys for alien pairs. When one of those aliens saves Chris and his cousin from being abused by the slave master, Chris hopes that the seemingly kind alien won’t be too horrible an owner.
Lasar and Nary are finally alone together with their new sex slave, ready to enjoy their reward. However, in the middle of their playtime a shocking event occurs that not only disrupts Chris’ world even more than it already has been, but also challenges everything that Lasar and Nary have always held dear. As Lasar searches for answers, he begins to question the reasons behind the Earth invasion and where his loyalties should really lie. As their Ahna, he must be the one who decides whether they will all be safer together, or apart.

Chris turns 18, and his world implodes around him. Earth is invaded, his family on the run, or worst, dead. Then, to top it all, he and his cousin Morgan are captured to be given as sex slaves for the Alasharins. Lasar and Nary are a Soul Matched pair, bonded for life in a kind of Dom/sub type relationship. Nary comes across Chris at the slave cages and is instantly drawn to Chris in a way he never experienced before. Lasar is drawn too, powerfully and it leads him to question everything he has been told about these sex starved humans. Indeed, it brings him to question his very soul. I liked this, in the end. It took a while to get going and for a time, I wasn't sure I would finish it. So glad I stuck with it! Chris young, just 18, and I'm not a fan of main characters of that age but I did like Chris here. He has an old head on his young shoulders. He knows he has to do what he does to stay alive, even if it means becoming a sex slave. But immediately, Chris is drawn to Nary, and later, Lasar, and it's clear to him that things may not be as bad as he first thought. Lasar's reaction to the ever growing Soul Match is deep, and he calls to the stars for his answers, which, to be fair, don't come, but the Healer was an amusing character! Lasar calls into question all he has been told about the humans they are invading, and then, everything his leader is doing. All three have their say, and there is more to come from them. Or at least I hope there is!! Lasar, Nary and Chris have much to face in their new three-way relationship, both in and out of the bedroom. And what of Morgan? What will happen to him when Lasar's friend returns from the big water?? He needs a story too! There isn't much actual sex between the three of them, but that isn't a bad thing for this book. They are ALL still learning what it means, this new and never-before-happened three way Soul Match. New for Lasar to be Dom to both Nary and Chris, for Nary to be BOTH Dom to Chris and sub to Lasar, and for Chris, learning what exactly the fuss is all about, him being sub to both Lasar and Nary, and learning all that it entails. I'd like to read more for this series, its different and I do love different! Because it took a while to get going... 4 stars

M/M Erotic Romance author Morticia Knight enjoys hot stories of men loving men forever after. They can be men in uniform, Doms and subs, rock stars or bikers - but they're all searching for the one (or two!) who was meant only for them. When not indulging in her passion for books, she loves the outdoors, film and music. Once upon a time she was the singer in an indie rock band that toured the West Coast and charted on U.S. college radio. She is currently working on more installments of Sin City Uniforms and The Hampton Road Club, as well as the follow-up to Bryan and Aubrey's story from Rockin' the Alternative.
