Review: Futuristic dominance and submission
Rating: 3 out of 5

I had a little trouble getting into this book. I usually prefer historical romance to futuristic stories, but I was kind of drawn in by the concept of genetic engineering of classes of people. In this world, there are normal women called fems, normal men called mems, submissive females called obedients and super warrior males called primales. The primale Theron is called upon by the High Council to guard the fem Nyssa from threats of death. Against both of their wills they are drawn to each other, but primales never mate with fems, only obedients. The only way Theron can keep Nyssa under his watch is by physically dominating her. She says she hates it, but secretly she loves it.There is a lot of very graphic sex and BDSM scenes in this book, more so than plot. I think that if all the sex scenes were gone, the book would be half as long as it is now. What there is of a plot isn't bad, and the writer tries to show the difference in thinking between men (more than men) and women in dealing with conflict.Heat factor hot.
