3 1/2 stars "The Breeder:  Wasteland, Book 3" by Eden Bradley is a dark erotic novella set in a world that is so desperately underpopulated that an entire religion is devoted to raising females to become breeders and trapping males from the Wasteland to use as donors and sacrifices.  Nitara is a priestess who has been groomed to become a breeder but is startled to realize that perhaps the sacrifices are actually sentient males and not the mindless creatures she has been trained to disdain.  She establishes a relationship with Akaash, the Mutari captive who is slated to be her first sacrifice and discovers that he has his own bonded lover, Dhatri.  Decisions must be made which will affect the fate of all three and may change Nitara's world forever.An imaginative and erotic story that has a few inconsistencies but paints a vivid and intriguing picture of an Earth that teeters on the cusp of extinction or radical upheaval.  It is difficult to believe that a sheltered and underclad priestess and a captive imprisoned and drugged for more than a month can undertake a grueling three week journey (enlivened by mutliple intimate encounters just after her initiation) without more repercussions but the story itself is an entertaining light read.
