An Uncommon WhorePasha is a slave with no memory of his own past. Whenever his pimp is in need of money, he takes Pasha to a seedy tavern on the planet Warlan to pander him out to travelers. On this night, Pasha's attention is drawn to Captain Griffin Hawke. Griffin is lured into accepting the services of Pasha and it is during Pasha's performance that Griffin is alerted to the identity of the man, covered by the whore's mask and the conclusion to his decade's long search.Belinda McBride's An Uncommon Whore is a sensual voyage of discovery. Although Pasha has no memory beyond slavery, the sight of Griffin activates a deep-rooted desire to stay with him and eagerly surrender to all of Griffin's needs. His slave training has taught him that being compliant to someone you love does not deteriorate the pride, but develops into more of a sharing event. Griffin has been searching for his king Helios Dayspring. However, finding him creates an internal conflict of duty to their people's future versus personal desire. Griffin is a proud and honorable warrior and it is those qualities that compel him to set aside his individual yearning for Helios and place duty first. This is an impressive romance story with a well written plot and developed characters that I greatly enjoyed.
