Oh, man - I'm so sad right now. I read all of the books in this series starting with Rees all the way up until this one. I've grown so attached to my Shareem and there's no more for me to read about - argh! Okay, with that out of my system let's see if I can review this like I have some sense.Alright, Justin - here we go...This was the one that put me on to the Shareem universe. I read a steamy excerpt from a freebie called fifty shades of sexy (Wow. How many times are people going to bite off of the 'fifty shades' title? I don't know, but if I hear that title used one more time...). It was literally the only one of what I think were thirteen stories that had me panting. Really, it was a huge disappointment. Anyway, after reading about the sexy level-two Shareem, Justin, I knew I had to give this series a try and, boy, it has been a ride. I'm telling you, slum or not, I'm ready to move to Pas City right now to claim me at least a cute level-one or a level-two at most.After having officially read all the stories in this series, the verdict still stands that these stories are all the same - a sexy Shareem meets and falls in love with a high-born woman, each having their own resources that help to improve the lives of the Shareem. By the time you make it to this story, assuming you've read any of the ones before this one, the Shareem are now looking to leave Bor Naga altogether. This is something they never could have dreamed of doing before their ladies came into the picture.Except one of them already has - Justin. Not only has he gotten a taste of life as a free man on planet Sirius, he has defied the odds and even sired a child, something no Shareem is supposed to be able to do since they are subjected to inoculations every six months to sterilize them. It is for this reason Justin braves returning to his less than welcoming home world - he wishes only to lay eyes on the daughter he was forbidden to have, not to mention her mother who had to give her up and go into hiding for their own protection. However, he meets Deanna, a patroller who at first look appears to have it out for him only to give in to her curiosity and attraction to the Shareem like so many ladies before her.This is the one that tried to break the mold, I will say. Here's a Shareem that thought of something more than sex. I found Justin to be the most human of them all. While he was still Shareem where it counted, he had a better handle on his emotions than his brethren. His devotion to finding his family wasn't usurped by his growing desire for Deanna and I liked that. Whatever was happening between him and Deanna was secondary to that. Only when he got what he came back to Bor Naga for did he finally give into his feelings for her without abandon.Lastly, I was just glad to read about someone other than a high-born getting lucky with a Shareem. With that said, I'm surprised at how easily Deanna fell for him since she was a patroller. I mean, I thought only the most hardened bitches could become one of those. Justin had this woman doing backflips with little more than a wink. And the extent she goes to to help him...Well, anyway, if that's the way it goes, it goes. I am going to miss reading about the Shareem - Allyson (or Jennifer), please bring out the next!
