My initial reaction was: Holy Mother of Poop! Obviously, very eloquent. But I think it gets the point across.I've been anticipating the release of this book since the time Cara Bristol posted a teaser on her site. It's been months...maybe half a year. Although it felt like forever. But time did nothing to dampen my excitement for this story, because -1- VIRGIN! Duh! You should all know by now how much I love virgins. And -2- there is something ever so titillating about females being subservient to males as part of the fabric of the [fictional] society. Even if some (all) of the narrow minded beliefs espoused by said society grate."Nature inexplicably had designed females to be inferior and substandard in mind and body, but they still deserved a certain level of care."Cara Bristol created a very vivid world, far into the future and off in space. Full of life and crazy ideals. A society based on Protocol and a strict hierarchy. A world where females had no rights. Where males ruled - alpha males - and only the strongest, fittest, the ones with the most cunning were allowed what we'd consider a basic right - reproduction. A very rigid people obsessed with order and very set in their ways. Very afraid of change, intent on wiping out any signs of dissent."He parted Omra's lips with his fingers and slipped a digit into her mouth, running it along her upper gum line to check the solidness of her teeth. At a flash in her eyes, he jerked his hand away a centisecond before she snapped her jaws together, so that her incisor only grazed the tip of his finger."Dak, the hero, was the Alpha - Commander and ruler - of one of the five provinces of Parseon. As you might have deduced, Dak acquired Omra to be his breeder in the hopes of producing a son. Cause all high and mighty Alphas need a son. Obviously."She did not understand why his nearness caused her belly to clench and her sex to grow wet and throb, only knew she wanted more, that more would somehow sate the hunger."The way that Cara Bristol set up the story and developed the characters - not just Dak and Omra, but the villains too - had me interested right away. And titillated, because, again, the power imbalance was just so sexy. Especially when the one holding all the power showed honor and self restraint, yet delivered unyielding discipline when needed. And Dak definitely delivered. And it was more than that - there was an immediate connection. Something forbidden that took the length of the book to develop, but that started at that first meeting and caught my attention right away. From that point on, I was emotionally invested in both Dak and Omra.Especially Omra because she was so pure of heart and guileless. She wanted to please and obey and not be abused. That's all she wanted. To just be happy and make others happy. She had no hidden agenda. Yet, she wasn't what Dak had expected and was the opposite of what he thought he needed. All those tumultuous feelings she inspired... He sometimes thought he wasn't what she needed either."'I need, need, need.' The words she'd been thinking burst out. Her body hovered at the brink of discovery, yet truth skittered out of reach."I had so much anxiety while reading this book. I couldn't put it down, because I needed to get through to the end and know how it turned out and, at the same time, I was paralyzed with dread, following each foreshadowing to its logical conclusion in my mind. Painting pictures of disaster and feeling my heart break."She calmed him - when she wasn't causing claws of lust to rake his body until he thought he'd go insane."There was so much going on. The forbidden feelings developing between Dak and Omra. Dak's internal battle - trying to reconcile the ingrained teachings of his society that he had sworn to uphold with the reality of his experience with Omra. Seeing intelligence where he was told was none. Sexual response where none was believed possible. The growing social unrest added another layer to his disquiet. And, on top of that, was the behavior of his anointed beta. So, Dak was dealing with turmoil within himself, within his home, and within his province. That's a lot for one male to deal with, even the ultimate Alpha.Everything was beautifully depicted, explained, and developed to its full potential. The plot was strong. The sexy parts were very streamy and inspired feelings of warmth, love, and fulfillment. Cara Bristol seamlessly incorporated domestic discipline - spanking! - into the story as well. It fit right in with the structure of the society and had a purpose, a lesson every time it happened. And it was sexy, in a dirty, pervy kind of way. There was even some M/M sexy time, which I, personally, enjoyed. And the villains were so freaking evil! The villains gave me agita!Even though the anxiety from reading this book just about ate through my stomach, or maybe because of it, I loved this story and cannot wait to see what's coming up next in the Breeder series. I highly recommend it.**Review copy provided by author in exchange for an honest review.**
