I absolutely enjoyed this book and stayed up all night reading as I couldn't put it down! This is actually a straight soldier's adventure into an alien culture as the main character, Auri fights for survival after unwillingly being sold by his government into a male harem.  I felt Auri's emotions and even started to dream some marvelous dreams after falling asleep while reading (due to reading late at night). If you are straight, this book can give you insight into why some homophobic groups are so terrified of gay marriage and I urge you to read it with an open mind. While reading this excellent novella, I felt betrayal, despair, the pain of a rape victim, the courage of a warrior fighting for survival and the joy of emotional healing. I experienced Pon Far (lol) as Auri travels down his own emotional highway searching for self truth as a combat soldier thrust into a battle of diplomacy while learning to march to the beat of a different and alien drummer. We readers are not slapped in the face with any revolting sex but are transported into a realm of extreme security and trust after our honor has been violated by those we served. They should make this realistic adventure into a movie!
