This is book nine in the Brides of Kindred series by this truly talented author. If you haven't read the others yet then you are missing out! These are fabulous books featuring seriously hot men and the lucky women who are destined to be with them. This is a series best read in order but this book is a complete story and can easily be read as a standalone. Obviously though I would recommend reading the whole series in order.Maggie is a human scientist in the future who is given the opportunity to travel to a newly discovered planet . This means leaving behind her fiancée but it's only meant to be a six month assignment so what could go wrong? Just about everything! Her shipmates are struck down with serious food poisoning and it's up to Maggie to collect precious documents from a neighbouring planet. Whilst there she sees the man of her dreams (literally) held in chains and viciously tortured. Maggie's not the bravest soul in the universe but she's no slouch either and sets Kor free.On the run together the pair find themselves hiding out at a Sensory Spa but Maggie and the freed Kor are only just beginning their journey. Feeling guilty because of her fiancée Donald , Maggie tries to tamp down her overwhelming attraction to the former gladiator Kor. Unfortunately the pair are rumbled just when Maggie gets a message out to her Kindred shipmates with disastrous consequences .Maggie wakes up six months later to find she has been implanted with a so called "slut button" that pushes her libido into the stratosphere and worse still she's being sold as a sex slave. Rescued by Kor who has been searching for her, her implant continues to rule Maggie's life and the previously shy girl has to learn quickly to be an openly sensual woman! Kors determined to satisfy all of Maggies newly awakened appetites but he doesn't want to lose her. As the couple struggle to evade capture they are in much more danger than they realise as Kors past is about to catch up.Wow, this is one seriously hot book! This author excels at  writing very erotic stories so not for those easily shocked but this one has a strong emotional pull as well. Loving the tortured hero and the implant idea sounded hilarious and yet it's handled with great sensitivity here. As usual Ms Anderson takes the unbelievable and makes it feel o so real. It feels at times as if the reader is actually in the book. Loving the bad guys here but essentially it was a well told love story. As part of the Kindred series it clearly opens up for newer characters to have their story told (soon I hope!) but we also have a quick glimpse of those from previous books.If you have read the previous books then you won't want to miss this and if you haven't then you really need to read these books! A fabulous read that is sure to delight old and new readers.
