I really enjoyed this book! It was fast paced and flowed nicely. The turn of events were done beautifully and the ending was terrific!
“I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.”
This is a change of pace for this author, I absolutely loved it though! The author has written a dark romance that is set in a world where women are completely dominated by men. Reagan isn’t happy with being dominated by anyone and so when given as a tribute to the beast outside their village she does what she thinks is the right thing to do and attempts to escape. When she does meet up with Drake there is unmistakably chemistry between them, but he is an alpha male and insists, no demands that Reagan obey him and behave. This leads to some interesting scenes and an absolutely wonderful story. It’s just the right length that you can sit down with a cuppa and have an enjoyable couple of hours being completely entertained by this author and her brilliant writing style.

As I began to read this story I thought I wasn’t going to really like it. But I am please to say that I actually loved it. Raegan is the virgin tribute chosen this year as a gift to the hybrid, part human part beast, The Protector, from a commune of human survivors after earth has been taken over by other hybrids gone amok. She wants no part of this deal and attempts to escape her fate, but physically she is no match for The Protector, for Drake. Drake shares blame in what has happened to earth and greatly desires to fix it. He thinks he needs an heir to do this, but year after year the tribute given to him fails to give him a child. But Raegan is different. There is chemistry between the 2 of them, and it is so fun to watch that chemistry grow between them. The two of them are a great match in bed, and both enjoy it immensely. He is a dominant man, and doesn’t hesitate to spank disobedience, but he also treasures Raegan, and believes that he is the one who will finally give him a child. They both come to respect one another, and Raegan is thrilled that he respects her enough to allow her to assist him in his lab. This book has sensuous sex, intense punishments, and frightening moments. But deep down it is tender love story. It is a joy to see it happen.

This book is completely different from other Delta James books I have read, but I loved it! It’s kind of post-apocalyptic human tragedy kind of story but really cool the way people adapt to what is a new normal to survive. Raegan lives a sheltered life as do some of the other girls, who are virgins as well, being groomed as possible tributes to the one they call the Protector, essentially a shifter. The Protector has taken these humans under his protection against beasts who would steal the humans away. The Protector takes a virgin as tribute as he would like offspring. Raegan is the virgin tribute this year. She is not happy about it and makes it known. The Protector is taken with her, but realizes quickly what a spitfire Raegan will be and Raegan doesn’t realize that the Protector is not going to take her attitude or shenanigans.
So, so good! Drake, the Protector, is dominant in every way and the loving is just as hard as he disciplines.

What a book, Delta James knows how to take a storyline to new heights. A cat and mouse game ensues when the tribute, Raegan runs away from Drake. I loved how Raegan handled Drake and at times I wondered what he would do next. It’s and intense story that is awesome. I am voluntarily leaving my review of this ARC.
A short quick well written story that held my interest throughout. Drake and “Tribute,” Raegan is Drake’s Chosen One and she is not to happy about it in the beginning. I enjoyed reading how these two get their happy ending. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

The world is now a brutal, dangerous place. Productive cities with bustling populations of busy people are gone. No more rush hour traffic trying to beat the crowds out of town on Friday night. The world had to reinvent itself along with the people in it. Now people are struggling to survive and flourish, to be as normal as the new population will let them, even if the new normal isn’t what everyone wants.
Raegan is the Chosen, the one virgin that will be accepted to become the concubine of the Protector. She’s the sacrifice that will keep her villagers safe. She has no choice and no say in this atrocity.
Drake knows he’s so close to finding a cure. The virus that changed the people of this new world could return to a human form, but only if Reagan is the right tribute.
I really liked this book. Delta did such a great job writing this book. Simply incredible!!
I really enjoyed reading this book. Delta has written such wonderful books before and I knew this one would be wonderful as well. Raegan refuses to be the tribute this year, but she is forced to do so in this post apocalyptic world. She manages to escape but is rescued/captured by the Protector. He is trying to reverse the ravages of the virus that he helped set free in the world. Of course, Raegan doesn’t listen well, so she gets spanked and disciplined until she comes around to Drake’s thinking.
Raegan is resentful that she has to be subjected to be The Chosen one for their Protector.
When Drake has to rescue her for being defiant it starts off their interaction on a Rocky front. Will she be able to get past her resentment and see Drake for what he is and not what she perceives him to be?
Exciting with twists you’ll love.

Wow, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this highly intriguing & captivating Sci-Fi dark romance which is set in a post apocalyptic era where woman are subjugated & controlled by elders. The main female character (Raegan Yeslar) is feisty, emotional strong & defiant, when she is chosen to be a tribute to the Protector (a human/alien beast, Drake) who happens to be looking for someone to bear a child for him, naturally she is not too impressed with this idea & the story begins from here. The story-line & plot is well-paced & entertaining.
There is: intrigue, drama, humor, mystery, mutants, action, threats, danger, conflict, memories, attractions, devious plans, manipulations, defiance, domination/submission, punishment, spankings, some non-consensual scenes, breeding, realization, mates, playfulness, happiness, contentment, love, explicit steamy scenes & a satisfying conclusion. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy reading this genre. I doubt that you would be disappointed.
Loved the book it was great the story was well written and the characters were interesting.
This is Raegan’s turn this year virgin “tribute”. Raegan is put in a small room for the protector to take, while Raegan awaits the protector (Drake) she escapes and hides but eventually he finds Raegan, Drake punishes her and Raegan fights Drake constantly.
Thank you for allowing me to review this book it was great.

I just love all Delta James’s books and this one is no exception. The characters were really good and I just loved Drake he was so strong and was set on course to try and right a wrong done in the past. I loved the dystopian/shifter take on and found this quite intriguing. Glad to see that the virgin tribute/Raegan was a feisty piece of work and did not go down quietly. The sex scenes were out of this world and there was plenty of rutting etc. There were some exciting moments and also some comedy. Such an easy recommend.

Loved the story of Drake and Raegan and how she becomes the love of his life. But before this happens, Raegan is offered as a tribute and concubine to Drake for three months in exchange he will provide protection and meats to the domed city. There is a lot happening in this story. Drake’s attempt to find a cure for the mutants, his growing love for Raegan and her love for him. But before the love comes, Raegan is disciplined for failing to obey his orders. She puts herself in danger several times and pays the price with a very red and sore backside. The story is very graphic in describing their sexual encounters but at the same time it is well written and entertaining. Raegan is full of sass and that gets her in trouble but it adds to the story and makes it very entertaining. I loved the book and would highly recommend it as a great read.
Every year at the sanctuary the creature as they know him. Requires a sacrifice to keep there community safe. That requires a virgin as tribute. Reagan hates that the elders have to look and touch them to see if they are good to be the chosen one. Reagan goes against all the rules and talks back but after her long battle they end up picking her to be this years sacrifice. Drake is shocked to have such a strong pull to one of the chosen. Until Reagan came along Drake had one goal in mind. I enjoyed reading this book. I loved the storyline and plot.

This is written in the post apocalyptic era. You have a virus that’s been let loose and it has infected humanity and eradicated all but a very small population that were immune. The survivors of this virus moved underground to get away and live underground in the sanctuary. They get protection from a creature they call “The Protector.” In exchange for protection a virgin in offered and Reagan is picked as the virgin of the year. She decides to escape from the sacred clearing and is running from the beast. Reagan is strong willed and no one is going to tell her how she has to live her life. Drake starts to track his human and finds her fighting off another male. Drake has been waiting two centuries for children. He figures that Reagan will end up just like the other women that have been offered and not be able to give him a child. He is very wrong. Reagan he finds is his fated mate and whether she bears him children or not he intends to keep her. Do you think that this will finally happen. Where as the others were not his mate maybe Reagan will prove to be the one to fulfill his future. Great book. I love reading this authors books.

in a world ravaged by a virus the people of the Sanctuary give one virgin to the protector each year as tribute to keep them safe. He is a scientist who has been changed into a shifter that keeps the hordes of mutant beasts away from the few humans that are immune to the virus in that area.
This story is sweet at times, has some BDSM and spanking, action and fantasy adventure as well as plenty of steam

Girl meets Beast, Beast spanks girl…
This book begins with one very powerful, dominating and demanding alpha-male beast that requires payment for his protection in the form of a virgin for breeding. After years and years of disappointing results he is finally given a sarcastic, undisciplined, defiant and unwilling tribute… that lights a fire in his blood. Intense encounters, rebellion, instruction and control…broken with humor and wit all work together to make this an entertaining, quick read. Definately check this out if you enjoy a bit of paranormal, power-exchange with a sweet evolution as love grows.

Whats not to love about this book, its erotic and has spanking scenes and Reagan herself has a mind of her own….but is not always right.. I love the World that Delta has woven in this story, its unusual but i really love it when stories are writen outside the box in a different world, it show vivid imagaination and just imagining what those beasts look like.. its like uggg but a bit funny at the same time
Regan is well known for mouthing off with her opinions, but this time when the tributes are picked for the Protecter, it is her turn. She is medically examined then left in a room. She escapes only to be picked up by the Protecter himself. She is taken to his home where she is thoughly spanked and punished.
Reagans mouth gets her into trouble and she is thoughly taken, barbs and all, but the joy of it is she loves it.
Its up to Drake to tame Reagan and show her he is more than willing to keep her more than a tribute.
I thoughly reccommend this book to read, i have given a five star plus
