Mavros is the commander of his ship and buys a human criminal named Kristin. She is a conflicted woman that he wants to break and possess, but finds himself falling for her. I enjoyed their heat and how these complicated individuals come together.
Loved the book, the story was well written and the characters were intriguing. Once I started I could not get enough, from the start till the end I was engrossed I was even on the edge of my seat with twists and turns, lust and passion, strength. The short story of eroticism of sensation. Do yourself a favor and buy the book you want be disappointed.

This is my first time reading anything by this author and I was impressed. The author does a good job of world building and an even greater job with character development. We get to see the story from both main characters points of view which she has done a great job with. The human female, Kristin is very well described and goes through a slew of emotions as she deals with her situation and where it’s going. Mavros is the alien and he is likable. Both the characters have a lot to learn and are both somewhat broken and afraid. It’s a very quick read but an enjoyable read.

It kind of went on and on a bit too much for me. It had a great start! The build-up was good, but I kept feeling that I wished they would get to the point where the buildup was heading. 🙁
I liked where it was going, but I also would have liked more details of what our dear Alien/Cyborg (because what was he really? The descriptions were very vague!) and it had a kinky feel to it – perfect for when you needed something fast, cutthroat and hardcore – I thought…
But it just never went there for me. I was left feeling a little confused about the tipsy-turney emotions all around and I felt that in some places there was just too much “filler” and not enough actual *action*.
I gave it 2,5/5 because of this.

Kristen never knew that she wanted pain, that it aroused!
by sewsummore
Kristen had been a Captain of her own ship, she delivered goods until she stole and delivered medicines to people that needed them instead of where they were mean’t to go. For this she was imprisoned for life, then her sentence was sold to an alien and she became his slave. Maveros was a Commander, wealthy in his own right, his world was his ship. When she first arrived she was filthy, starving and needed sleep. He washed and fed her then comforted her, it would be the first step in breaking her. This was a story full of dark and desperate pain, Maveros needed to control and inflict pain. Kristen never knew that she wanted pain, that it aroused her and as her need for it grew Maveros knew that she was his mate and he would have to let her go.

I loved the concept of this story, and the characters felt like they had depth, but I felt like so much of it was left out because there was a massive jump in their thinking, their relationship. etc. I felt like a lot was skipped and I wanted to know more. I wanted more information. I just wanted more.
Kept is the first book I have read by Erin Gale and tells the tale of Kristin Kalimantan and Commander Mauro’s Umthrane. Kristin was imprisoned for life when she loses her ship and medication cargo (which was given to her people). Macros purchases Kristin at a pleasure slave auction and intends to make her his submissive. Overtime, lust turns to love for this couple. This book has vividly descriptive characters and environment, an interesting plot, drama, suspense, unexpected twists, and passionate love.

Mavros saw the human slave Kristin and knew he had to own her in every sense of the word. Kristin had been enslaved for crimes that were absurd to her. Now she had been bought by some rich high commander. Only things backfired and not only did Mavros and his dark urges come into play along with hers but so did his mate urges.

First let me state that I received an Advance Reader Copy, (ARC), but this in no way influences my review. I always leave an honest review. Also this author is new to me, and I hope it won’t be for long.
Wow, this is a gr8 story, but needs more work. There’s some problems with it in the sense that it felt rushed. It jumped a bit as well. The HEA was way to quick. I can’t recommend this read until it gets an overhaul. 3 Thumbs up
Sorry to say so but i struggle with this book. I tried but I just couldn’t get in the story.

This is a new author to me & I was quite impressed with this intriguing Sci-fi romance. The plot is well-written & filled with unexpected emotional connections & a very mild dark undertone. The complex characters are well-developed & react with realistic emotions to the unconventional circumstance they find themselves in.
There is: a young woman (Kristin) is caught stealing medicine to help people in need & is imprisoned then she is sold as a pleasure slave to a alien warlord (Mavros) with some devious plans in store for her, mild twists, intrigue, drama, despondency, dark fantasies, hatred, strange attractions, mates, determination, discipline, spankings, confusion, defiance, bondage, decisions, disagreements, compromises, some steam, contentment & a satisfying conclusion.
