I received a copy of this book from the author through DBML program on GR's MM romance group in exchange for an honest review.What caught my attention about this book was definitely not the cover but the blurb. I was wondering why is it illegal for a free man to be involve with a another free man? I'm just not interested in BDSM. It does nothing for me. But since it was mention in the blurb that was light and not long so why not read it.Firstly, I want to say that I wish there was more background story on the world they live. Since this was a prequel to another I think the author should have included more background to world they live in. It felt like I was missing part of the story. I wish there was more information on why it's so illegal for a free man Orion to be involve with another free man Meme. It seem like they have to own you to be with you.Secondly, Meme character was nothing more than a placeholder and side piece for Ares and Orion. Meme character was simply a freeman who wanted to be sub but in the case a slave. His character became secondary and almost forgettable after he got his wish to own by somebody.Thirdly , I believe Ares and Orion could totally have a relationship without the whole Master/slave excuse it seem like they both wanted to be together but it was illegal. Meme was the mean Ares use to get Orion to be real and free to love Ares.Overall I love this story. The whole mental game Ares work on Orion was just simple and effective. I love how the author focus more on thoughts and feelings of the characters. I will be checking out more books by the authors and definitely going to read the companion novel.
