Our hero was once a slave himself, so now he buys others and releases them when he can. But his latest acquisition proves to be more of a challenge than usual.
This is a SF romance story with something of a dystopian setting. The story is well written and easy to read, with excellent characters and a well developed setting. The plot is well done and takes a different tack than many similar stories which I have read. No complaints there. There are also several twists and turns along the way, which keeps things interesting. Overall, a very enjoyable story.
Highly recommended

Every one of Julie K. Cohen books have stunning storylines. You will easily find yourself caught up in the lives of her characters!

When he loses his heart to her. It puts Alli in danger.

You will love this super exciting,funny,thrilling,suspenseful, and steamy hot Sci-Fi romance. This is a five star plus story and series.
Kayo can’t stop himself from purchasing a slave instead of buying the freedom of one of the men currently “owned” by him. He can’t believe that he’s buying a female slave, but he can’t leave her to be bought by anyone else. There’s just something about her that calls to him. Blue’s been thru the paces with several prior owners & she doesn’t trust Kayo to be any different. He tries everything to get her to believe him when he tells her that he will eventually buy her freedom just like he has in the past & plans to for those currently on his land. Things are difficult as the mine has dried up & he can’t pay his bills. When he’s arrested, they have to work together to try to get him back from the one person that has been out to ruin Kayo & get his slaves & mines.
This was another great story by Julie. Wonderfully developed characters & great world building. Ends with HEA.

An absorbing read about ownership and slavery!
by sewsummore
The life of a slave in the Empire and it was especially hard for the slaves who had known freedom before slavery. Kayo tried to purchase the freedom of as many slaves as was possible until he came across a female slave that he could not allow her to be purchase by anyone else but him. Alli had learned to show subservience to her masters at all times. She believed that her master liked to trick his slaves, making false promises of freedom. After getting to know Kayo, Alli finally learned the truth of his words. Kayo yearned to make Alli his but would never force from her what she would never give freely. I found this book an absorbing read. Kayo and Alli ‘s relationship was complicated and fraught with difficulties that they strived to overcome; you will have to read the book to find the answer.

I loved this book at first I thought it was a reverse harem!! I am so glad that it wasn’t Blue would not have went for that and KAYO wouldn’t have survived that!! This was a great love story….love at first sight for Kayo and Blue… and me lol… I also loved the rest of the slaves… read the book and you will understand if you had people to watch your back you would want them as much as I do know!!! Great job Julie….. I wanted to tell them the whole book but you have to go buy it if you want to know what I know!!!!!!
Well written story with great characters and storyline. Kayo and Blue’s story will keep you turning pages with the drama, suspense and romance. Kayo buys slaves to pay for their freedom. Blue is a slave Kayo gets but, with so many men in his property, I don’t think it was wise. Now he has to protect her from his own men. I really enjoyed this excellent story.

Good book full of action, plot and romance with two well developed main characters. I received an ARC copy and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Alli is a slave girl who is bought by a miner named Kayo who really wants to free her but can’t afford to do so. Both have had a bad past and they both have their own demons to deal with but throughout the book, they each learn to trust and even to love again, though there are times they didn’t like each other so much. It was a really good read it has something for everyone a lot of action, set in a futuristic/sci-fi/dystopian setting, lots of romance with plenty of steam, and the author does a really good job of setting the world and letting you get to know the characters you are reading about. Kept me turning pages late into the night. I will definitely be reading more from this author!

This story kept me turning pages from the very start, I was not putting it down until I finished it. Kayo and Blue where two people that belonged together and they would both do everything for the other. This story has suspense, slaves, drama, danger, lies, a villain, and romance.

I enjoyed reading this story very much about Blue/Alli who was bought by Kayo. Kayo is drawn toward Blue and buys her and takes her to his property. On his property he has a mine and the men slaves work to be the next one to be set free. He tells her she’s free to do whatever she wants and tries to show her but at first she doesn’t believe. As she spends time with Kayo, she starts to believe him and grows attracted to Kayo. Kayo spent all his funds buying her and now has creditors after him and the mine is drying up and he feels guilty letting the men down. Will Kayo sell Blue to save the others? The ups and downs as Kayo and Blue navigate their relationship and the plot kept me engaged in this very enjoyable story. I volunteer to read and review this ARC via booksprout.
Kayo never expected to own a female slave, but blue has become the light of his life. If he could buy her freedom he would, just to be with her. But he is broke, and the mine is dry. Soon his creditors will take everything, including Blue. Will he find away to keep it safe? Fast-paced read with loads of drama, suspense and steam. I loved the characters and the story really drew me in. A good read.
