Darkscape: Redemption
BOOK 2 OF THE DARKSCAPE SERIES At the crossway of the stars lies a haunting darkness… Death. Redemption. Peace. Declan de Douglas wanted them all. Once a rogue warship commander, now dubbed the Douglas Savage, he seeks atonement for past sins by serving the clan he almost destroyed. A sudden attack, a terrible injury, and he is collared and sold into a brothel's slavery. To strengthen clan ties, Princess Fallon MacKendrick finds herself betrothed to a man she detests. A chance meeting with the enigmatic Douglas Savage and Fallon is determined to find a way out of her betrothal contract and have him for her consort. Except finding him in an offworld brothel--victim of an identity wash--pulls her into a nightmarish plot instead. Theirs is a dangerous journey across hostile star systems where a sweeping vengeance threatens the tenuous peace. And where battles of the heart and body kindle a hot and forbidden passion. But even true love may not be enough to light the shadows in a warrior's dark soul nor save a princess's lonely heart.... Second in the Darkscape Futuristic Romance series.

Review done for Ijustfinished.com
This is a book full of deceit, rumors of war, and intergalactic problems in a world that holds to a precarious peace.
The story starts when handsome Savage, Braemar Keep of Clan Douglas, considers himself not human. In his previous life he died as coward fighting on the wrong side of the war. Now he feels that it is his job to keep the royal family of his new clan safe from the many who are trying to do them in.
The problems start when certain crystals are found by the Douglas clan and the other clans think they should share them. They resort to many forms of deceit and persecution to get what they want 26 even if it means the extermination of the whole Douglas clan.
Savage is a warrior and as one he has been altered to give him new life, to have better responses and thinking that any other human. Thus, he works alone and trusts no one. In his job as defender of the royal family he is ambushed and almost killed. His memory is erased and he remembers nothing but his instincts to survive.
When the young princess of the Clan MacKendrick looks upon him for the first time, she finds desire that she has never had before 26 he stirs wanting in her soul.
The next time she hears of him is in another city. Rumors come to her that Savage is a 1Cpleasurer 1D and she wants to know if it is true. She risks all to save the life of the man who can 19t ever love her but has stolen her heart.
In a mad dash, running for their lives, they find time for each other and for a world that is not ready for them. They are powerful partners, with his warrior 19s enhanced skills and her intelligent curiosity. It helps save them, but what is more important to both 26 their very race 19s existence.
This is a great Sci-Fi Romance book for adults, full of exciting passion and lots of intergalactic chases 26 a must for romance and Sci-Fi readers. It does have explicit sexual content.

Well, that cleared things up - there were TWO Declans at the academy when the previous h was in attendance, and it wasn't the half brother she did. Whew.
So our H, having issues due in part to the fact that his father was nuts and caused much murder and mayhem around the galaxy(s), and also due to the fact that dear old dad killed him (he too benefited from the transporter), is now negotiating trade on behalf of his half brother. And…he runs into the h. Makes quite an impression on her, as she does him.
Approximately a month later, the h, betrothed to a loser that she DOES NOT WANT, overhears that a local brothel has a new man - one who looks like the H. So, she goes to buy his service - to see for herself. Now… looking at the guy on the cover, wearing a slave collar used on sex slaves… Hmmm… :ahem
She helps him escape and they run like hell. Eventually, they come across the good Dr who remade him (and who is looking for him), thus making their way to safety. More mayhem occurs, with him regaining his partially wiped memory, etc.
You know… my complaint is that the series is only two books long… and to a certain extent, we're just left hanging there. Oh, the HEA is wrapped up for the H/h but… he has another half brother (crazy dad) and the half brother has…issues because daddy-o apparently abandoned his pregnant mistress when the H's mother showed up. Half brother disappeared. I would…like to know what happened next.

I loved it. It is book 2 in a series and the other one, The Rebel Lord, really should be read first.
