Review: Classic with Caveats

Very richly detailed exquisite sci-fi setting. Very edgy BDSM. Like the other two books in the series, this final one is told from a single perspective (the heroine's), third-, rather than first-person. Because both of the heroes are aliens with, er, special equipment, there were more squee moments for me in the sex scenes (m/f, m/m, m/m/f) than when there was at least one human male involved. But if you don't have problems with shape-shifted sex, then it probably won't bother you here. Even without that element, the BDSM pushed my envelope (and I have a pretty high tolerance). The romantic aspect (and there is love and affection) is blended well within the context of the sex and the action and the plot (all well-balanced). I would recommend this book highly to hard-core sci-fi and BDSM fans, as well as the non-squeamish curious. I consider it a cult classic.
