The Wildling

If you're looking for a wild ride, with a far out premise this is the tale for you! Who can resist the very idea of men as PETS, in a futuristic world where women reign supreme? This spicy story of mistress and mate is role reversal at its best! I'd highly recommend this to anyone who wants to step "outside the box" of traditional romance and experience something uniquely different!

By TT reviewer Irene MarshallArness is a hunter - of wild "pets". She captures them, starts the taming/training process, then sells them. She has two pets of her own, which she has trained entirely on her own and they help her with the work as well as keeping her sexually happy. The "pets" are human males and in this time and place, women have all the power. Pets are used for sexual playmates, slaves, and of course, for breeding purposes. Any male children born are raised by the pets and either sold or released into the wild when they are grown. When Arness takes her latest catches to her best customer, Patroness Morgena, a woman who owns and runs a breeding farm, she's asked to stay and break/train a special pet, Adan. Morgena plans to give Adan to her daughter, Sala, when she returns from school, but Adan keeps trying to run away. But when Sala returns from school, she's not what her mother expects. Along with her academic studies, Sala has managed to acquire and read most of an old copy of "The Flame and the Flower". From this, she deduces that at one time, men were dominant and women mere chattel, sexual objects. While she doesn't want to go that far, she thinks that men and women should be equal, and she refuses to treat men as slaves. When Arness is bushwhacked and taken prisoner by a band of renegade men, a posse of pets, led by Sala, is formed to rescue her. Adan, who has met Arness, though his training has not yet begun, asks to go along. When he promises not to try to escape, he's allowed to join the posse. A magnificent novel. The characters were strong and true to the scenario with very little true violence involved. The descriptions of the terrain in which the "pets" run wild sounds like the desert land of southwestern America and if this were the kind of desert wildlife that inhabited the area today, I can guarantee that there would be a lot more females hunting. As usual, Treva has outdone herself in this offering for the female mind. She just keeps getting better and one begins to wonder what kind of life she lives outside her books. Whatever it's like, I want some of this kind of life, too. What an artist you are, Treva! You keep them coming and we'll keep reading, dreaming, and sweating. Thank you

Ok first off I have to say that this book is not for the reader who has problems reading sex scenes that are very graphic. Now that that has been said on to the review. Well this is a story of very strong women. In fact those women rule the planet and men are pets. They are wild and captured and sold as pets to pleasure the women. Most don't speak until they are trained to. They serve thier mistresses without question. Now this is the only life the heroine Arness has ever known. In fact she tracks and captures men and then sells them for profit. That is until she meets a captive named Adan. Adan can speak and is fighting to be free. He is a handleful and Arness thinks she is the one to tame him, but soon its a toss up as to who has tamed who. They soon find that they are strongly attracted to each otherand together they must over come thier fears as well as societies rules to be happy.I enjoyed this book and not just for the great love scenes. I found it to be exciting. It also had secondary characters that I found facinating and I looked forward to finding out where their lives would lead them.

This story is set in a post apocalyptic earth. Women are the governing force and men are wild or pets (slaves). Arness is a hunter and trainer of the Wildlings (men). She is very good at what she does. Until she meets and wildling named Adan. Adan insist that he is more than a pet. He speaks and thinks like anyone else and Arness is very attracted to him.This is not one of my favorite type of stories. I'm not into the female dominated society or the subjugation of any people. However the story is well written and the characters are likeable.
