Justin had been a free Shareem in a different planet, when he decided to come back to Bor Narga in order to find his daughter. This is s big secret that he needs to bear alone, since Shareems are not supposed to have children. This is forbidden and unheard of. His daughter is sheltered, looked after and happy. Justin does not want to disturb her life. He only wants to watch her from afar.
Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately as it ends up), Deanna who is a patroller discovers his big secret. Justin will be attracted to Deanna and Deanna will not be able to resist her Shareem.
One of my favourite books in the series. I loved the protectiveness and trust they show to each other. I loved how Deanna understands and takes care of Justin and how Justin rewards her with love, affection and commitment.

Allyson James is one of my favorite authors and I read this series mainly due to that fact. I was a bit surprised that for an erotica style book it had a decent story line and that the overall plot followed through the series. This is a quick, easy read with a lot of sex, but htere is still a decent story and the characters are fleshed out enough to allow the reader to connect to them. It is by no means in the same catagory as her Stormwalker series or as her Shifter series (under her Jennifer Ashley name), but it is still a nice read and good change from the standard PNR's (some times you just need a short break from the usual before going back to it). For those of you who avoid the futuristic or "space" style books, this may take place on a different planet in a futuristic style world, but the men are genetically enginered from human DNA and the women are all human (the planet was an Earth colony 100 years ago so except for visitors, the "residents" are all human). There is not a lot of reference to futuristic things (hover cars and space travel are about it) so it doesn't read like a space age or futuristic style PNR. This one isn't as explicit as some of the others in the series (Rees for example) but still had enough description to be considered erotica. Justin is a level two Shareem so his tastes are less BDSM than some of the other Shareems and this book shows that...but it is still pretty hot in a few places. Overall, I would recommend it for a quick light read and definitely for those who have been reading the series so far.

Most Traditional of the Series
JUSTIN is the sixth book in the Tales of the Shareem series. This series tells the stories of a group of genetically engineered men created as sex slaves but now freed but second class citizens on their home planet. The serious is erotic science fiction but this book is the most normal of the series because it does not have a menage scene. The sex is still pretty graphic for those who are sensitive to such things.
Justin was free on another planet for twenty five years but has returned to find his daughter that is not supposed to exist according to what is said about the Shareem. While watching his daughter he is arrested by Deanna, a patroller. The two have an attraction and Justin is attempting to keep secrets from Deanna to protect his daughter.
This story is much more traditional in that their romance is more about their relationship from the start than it is about the forbidden sex. These two care about one another and that is clearly shown by their actions outside of sex. I also like how the overarching story is progressing and I really want to know what happens next with the Shareems' escape plans.

Came upon this series by accident and was really glad I did. Did not know that Allyson James was in fact Jennifer Ashley who also happens to write one of my other favorite series (The Mackenzie's). Having read all of the Tales of the Shareem (except for Eland which I can't find)I hope we see another entry in the series sooner rather than later - Just a good steamy read that makes you want to keep going back for more.

This series started out on shaky ground for me, it wasn't that it had to much testosterone but where most stories took you I wasn't sure why the author always felt the need to go there.
But I've found that I really do like the characters and by this book I was disappointed that I didn't have another book to read... I really want to know if all will be well with the people I've grown to enjoy reading about. I hope she continues....

This was definitely my favorite of the series. I loved both Justin and Deanna. There was a tiny bit of the Captain Save A Hoe mentality, but it was much better because they took care of each other in all ways and not just the Shareem taking care of the woman sexually and the woman taking care of the Shareem's mental/emotional/social issues.

Justin returned from a free planet to Bor Narga where he was created and his kind are heavily controlled and threatened with termination for the slightest infraction because he wanted to see his ex-lover and daughter again. While spying on his daughter he is arrested by Deanna, a patroller. When he is released due to a political favor she follows him trying to find out what he is doing. They are attracted to each other and begin a forbidden relationship. Very erotic story.

Oh! Oh! Oh! This one did it for me! The sincerity of Justin and Deanna together, made my heart flutter.

"Justin" by Allyson James. Book 6 in the Tales of the Shareem series.
I loved this book! It's a sci-fi erotica romance but I think it was more romantic than all the other books in the series. It definitely had a more playful mood to it between the characters of Justin, a level two Shareem (into playful sex stuff like light bondage, games and toys), and Deanna, a patroller (basically a cop).
I found this book lighter on the erotica side than the other books. Or maybe I should say it was more playful and sensual. Light bondage, partner voyeurism, sex toys and m/f sex are all present throughout this story. No menage in this one which surprised me because menages were in all the other books. But this couple, Justin and Deanna, have a more romantic feel to them because a lot of the story line has nothing to do with them sexually.
The nonsexual story line of this book is Justin wanting to see his long lost daughter and finding her mother. He's been living on another planet for 25 years and has come back to Bor Narga for just that reason. But how can he protect his daughter if the patrollers are always getting in his way! Especially, sexy patroller, Deanna. Deanna can't understand why Justin keeps breaking the law and won't say why. Now he may be the reason Deanna loses a promotion and she can't let that happen. She needs the money to help her mother. Can she clear her name if she learns Justin's secrets? Or will their mutual attraction put them both in a cell?
Loved the story line in this book! I really loved the characters of Deanna and Justin. Very different from all the other characters in that their backgrounds are much different. This book has a lot more substance to it with the motivation of the characters which I really enjoyed. It gave Justin and Deanna more realism. I did notice that no other new Shareem were introduced in this book (in all the other books, a new Shareem was always introduced) so I'm hoping this is not the end of this series because there is an open series story line arc that is not finished. (**NOTE** I looked it up, there is, at the time of this review, one more full novel and a prequel novella)
This one is my favourite book of the series (so far!) and I can't wait to read the next one!

First off, I bought this on accident. Happy accident! I'm a huge Jennifer Ashley fan and I was looking into some of her other work.
I went into this not knowing what the heck a Shareem was... or knowing anything about this world. I have not read the first 6 (?) Shareem books (yet), but that didn't make this any harder to follow. In fact its well written (a given for the author) and explained well without being a tedious 'lesson'. I love when an author can take a sci-fi subject and make you feel as though its common place. If you want to go in surprised by what a Shareem is, stop reading now.
**************************
WHAT I DIDN'T KNOW GOING IN (not that it would've stopped me):
Shareem are HOT! Genetically engineered males, made for the sole purpose of pleasing women. SIGN ME UP! A warning for those who may be turned off by the sort of thing: There is a lot of graphic and often taboo sex scenes. Bondage, anal, masturbation, ect. Good stuff LOL.

This is the 6th book in this series I've read and while I like the premise of it the similarity of every storyline and couple in the series so far is pushing me to skip segments of the story.
Shareem meets virgin woman. Insta-lust in both parties. Shareem convinces virgin to experiment with him. Lots of sex. Weak secondary storyline that keeps throwing them together until they have their HEA.
As I said, I love the premise, the setting, even the characters (sort of) but the conflict between the characters doesn't live up to its potential and lack of trust between the characters is too easily overcome. I foundg the lack of depth to the BDSM elements (it was almost like these elements were thrown in to "spice" up the sex scenes) & emotional journeys of the characters disappointing.
If you like sci-fi that's a light read with erotic romance & lots of sex scenes, then this is the series for you.

Justin was free on another planet but came all the way to Bor Narga to look for a woman from his past whom holds a secret. But a feisty patroller, Deanna, is assigned to watch his every step. With Justin needing to do everything he can to protect his secret, he decides to show Deanna just what it is like to be a Shareem. Things get very hot and sweaty, and just when Justin thinks he has Deanna distracted she figures it out all on her own exactly why he came back to be basically a prisoner again on Bor Narga. But she only wants to help, she has fallen for Justin after all.
Justin was sweet and delicious but also very hot. I really loved Justin's character. I hope there is going to be more for this series.

This is a great story (much longer than I thought it would be) and a nice conclusion to all the Shareem stories. I love that Justin got to meet his daughter (as hinted in Braden) and managed to find another woman to love him. There were some particularly sweet moments between Justin and his daughter that I really liked (I won't give spoilers), but if you've loved the Shareem the whole way through, this story will not disappoint. :)

Justin and Deanna were wonderful. Justin has lived off planet for 25 years, but he's not forgotten how to live under the all restrictions for Shareem. Deanna has a lot of responsibility on her shoulders and her life is about her job. I loved that Justin taught her to see beyond her badge to the woman underneath and I loved that Deanna actively pursued giving Justin everything his heart longed for.

I have been a longtime fan of the Shareem books and I don't know how this one slipped by me. I really need to re-read the series.
Like many of them, this book was funny and heartbreaking. I really enjoyed meeting many of the couples/triples from previous books.
The only thing I didn't care for is when they switched dom/sub roles. I'm not comfortable with the male as the sub.
I will definitely keep a closer watch on this series to make sure I don't fall behind again.

I really liked this one the most. This one was so heart felt. And Justin was so naughty. And Deanne did not get it in the rear like all the other females did. A real good read.
I hope in the future, Allyson James will continue this series, or come up with one close to this one. Maybe give Mitch and Judith their story.
For people interested in this series. This is sexual fantasy type read, not thought provoking read.

What would make you come back to a place where you are treated less than human? How can you find someone you had deep feelings for twenty five years ago. You need closure on some situations that happened back then. Yet you can't let anyone find out why I decided to come back to this hell hole. This is a story that is heartbreaking and will have you hoping for the best. Enjoy I did. This is a re-read for me.

Same script, different cast.
The only difference with the previous installments is that this time there weren't helpful Shareem friends to show the heroine the joys of menage!
The Sybellie/Lillian subplot was developed quite good but it lacks closure in the end, as well as the much anticipated departure of the Shareems from Bor Narga.

Let me say Justin is my second favorite Shareem. He is the only level two we have read about so far and when they say fun and games they mean it! At first I was not a fan of the patroller but she grew on me. This book was more emotional for me I think because we follow Justin in his journey. An amazing book.

I loved the dynamics of this story. Bringing in a father/daughter relationship was a great addition to these stories. If she doesnt write more about what happens and if the women end up pregnant i might go mental lol

I do really enjoy these stories, the sexy scenes and the relationships that spring up between the Shareem and their females. Deanna and Justin are no different, fighting for each other in their own way. Good read.

I loved Justin! He was heartbreaking and hot as hell! lol I can't wait for Allyson James to continue and am looking forward to reading her other series.
