The Prendarian Chronicles

Doreen De Salvo hits the mark again with two outstanding futuristic erotic romances. I am sure you all don't need a run down of the plot again. But I will agree with my fellow reviewers. The plot is solid, with believable and engaging characters, and hotter than hot love scenes. You don't find many authors who can blend a fantastic plot and sizzling sex as well as Doreen De Salvo.

Doreen DeSalvo has created a vivid and unique world in the two stories included in this book. In the first, Prendarian leader Rigah gets more than she expected when she takes Jason, an enslaved human, as her personal pleasure slave. The tension between them leads to a struggle with pride and wills and an attraction that is far more complicated than it should be. The social and political continue to be major factors in the second story, as a human resistance fighter named Daria works to get close to Gray, the Prendarian diplomat. Passion beyond anything she's ever known forces Daria to question what she truly believes in. Both stories have character and story detail that make them a joy to read and difficult to put down. Excellent work and can't wait for more from Ms. DeSalvo.

"For the Love of Rigah" -- a super-hot book with an Earth man forced to serve as an s...e...x slave on a future alien planet. Desalvo breathes new live into a common plot by giving the hero a young nephew to protect. Never does this man seem subservient to the female lead. He gives her lots of trouble and lots of pleasure. Really amazing s....e...x scenes, and none of them felt superfluous or like they had nothing to do with the plot. "For the Heart of Daria" -- the nephew of the "Rigah" book is all grown up, and he's the type of hero I love to read about, not an a-hole alpha hero who treats the woman like carp. He's a man who will pull out all the stops to protect her, even after she hurts him and his mission. Daria is also a great heroine, strong but troubled. There are good reasons for why she does what she does to the hero, not easy ones to resolve, but they make a connection that's totally believable. I felt sorry for her but admired her too. Both these people are trying to do the best they can in a world of shifting politics. The politics never overwhelm the story and the s....e...x scenes are tender, hot and sweet. I an't say enough good things about this book.

Doreen DeSalvo hooked me from the very first paragraph and never let go. Sensual and thought-provoking, I was lucky enough to read this in its initial electronic version and I'm excited to see it finally united with its sister story. A wonderful book that will stay with you long after you've read the last page, you'll want to make room on your keeper shelf for The Prendarian Chronicles.
