I'm had no clue it was a western historical of sorts which is one thing I *cannot* really stand. That and Ellen irritated me to high heaven. There's one thing of being stubborn, it's a whole nuther tale in being stubborn to the point of stupidity. Anyway. I'm hoping Folsom's other work is better. I think it was mostly character irritation here. There are others of hers that look promising.

Hence 2 stars.

Strapped and chained on the block, a masterpiece of naked flesh and muscle turns slowly-the eyes of the crowd devour the sight of Vejhon, whose platinum-white hair and cat-green eyes mark him as newly captured from a wild planet on the outer edges of space. The noble men and women erupt in a bidding frenzy-that finally stops on a man named Najir. This strikingly handsome man who strangely resembles Vejhon cries out the winning bid on behalf of the lady he serves. Hanna Drakoulous now has a matched pair of the finest males in the galaxy-

Shackled, Vejhon can only marvel at the mysterious beauty with blue skin and shining eyes whom Najir clearly worships. But Vejhon refuses to humble himself-until Hanna-s kiss strikes him like lightning. First dominant, then sensually tender, she arouses him to explosive sexual passion that goes beyond the limits of physical pleasure. What manner of mistress has bought him and what does she want? Freedom is what he wants, but will she be worth the price?

Let-s talk about JAX. I have an aka. You may know me as Jacquelyn Frank. Now, I-m not getting tricky on you or trying to confuse you, it-s just that sometimes I write something that goes a little out of the norm; walks a fine line with erotica, or perhaps crosses right into it. So we created JAX. JAX will be where you can find a steamier side of Jacquelyn Frank. In the end, though, it-s all still me. I still live in Asheville, NC, with my nine cats. (I swear-nine is my absolute limit! No, I mean it this time!) I still love my little girl to pieces and I-m still trying to save the world one book at a time.

WARNING! This is a REALLY HOT book. (Sexually Explicit)

More than anything else, this story was fascinating as hell! I was gravitated to details on the society and all the other bits. Then came the smut. Oh the heck boy...hawtness squared.

I'm really hoping to win the paperback in the giveaway in goodreads. Having it in paper would be AWESOME!!! It was hard as hell to get via ebook. *grumbles*

4 stars baby!
