There are shops with all the latest toys and devices for your property. Come to the Central Hub, a place of Darkness and Desire.’
Bethany is on a mission to the Central Hub. She must save her sister who is kidnapped by slavers. However, there’s a problem, two actually. One is the woman that’s going to break her into submission so they can get into the hub. The slave training is making her body hyper aware of the feeling she’s having for another woman. The second is searching the huge spaceport filled with depraved and delicious masters while trying to pass for a submissive herself.
Yes, I'm the inventor of the erotic fairy kingdom and hopefully I've kept you entertained through my love of fantasy as well as really hot romance. I've just started out in this world of written sensuality and love every minute typing the craziness that consumes my thoughts ~ fairies and trolls and sex, Oh my. When I'm not writing I enjoy swimming, reading on the deck or trying to save my fish from my cat. (They have a love / hate relationship.)You can check out my upcoming events on my website!
I really liked Anna Keraleigh’s “Addicted to Adella” and I was delighted she has another book out. I was also tickled pink that this book has another “Four Five Two”, and lo and behold this cargo ship is another true hero to a couple of gals on the run…eventually. Anna has been a true artiste when it comes to futuristic stories with great space vehicles and amazingly hot women so far.
Bethany has a sister in trouble. However, Bethany is going to need some serious training to be able to assist Clarin, her professional mercenary, to help find and retrieve her sister. She is dedicated to getting her sister back, but as the title states she has to be “broken” to play her part convincingly. Bethany is a sweet, beautiful young virgin. She will need to convince the ugly underbelly of the slave-trading world that she is a totally submissive piece of chattel. It is hard to believe that everyone won’t fall in love with Bethany…I think I did.
Clarin is a cosmic mercenary with a multi-world reputation and plenty of supportive weaponry up her sleeve, in other parts of her clothing, and even in her hair. She is also adept as using a holographic whip (doesn’t leave scars but hurts like hell). This “breaking” process includes a good deal of brutalizing with that whip, sexual woman handling, and teaching Bethany to accept poking, prodding, and giving of pleasure to anyone her Master tells her to. This job is very important to Clarin as it comes with a very nice payday if successful.
I have not read a great deal of BDSM and things do get rough in this book but not extreme from my perspective. These two women have to convince everyone that Clarin is the Master and Bethany is the submissive slave. Their lives and the rescue of Bethany’s sister depend on their playing their roles perfectly. I like that kind of tension. However, I like what happens to Clarin and Bethany best of all. Ms. Keraleigh is most definitely an author I will to continue to follow.

Bethany, the innocent virgin doing everything she can to help save here sister from slave traders.
Clarin, the mercenary hired to make it happen.
Training of Bethany to appear submissive begins during the journey. Sweet, and basic training scenes regarding pose and response to commands.
Though common in sci-fi stories, but since it was not brought up until training, why Bethany is referring to Clarin as "Master" instead of "Mistress" was a bit confusing since no gender neutral appellations had been noted in the story previously. This become clear later in the story. The sci-fi element is not overwhelming, in fact, there's times when one could easily forget that aspect. Another more significant issue is that Clarin doesn't seem to have the appropriate degree of selfishness/ self preservation required for an experienced mercenary. Unless she's quitting the business she way too soft and burning bridges she can't afford to lose.
Still, she’d rather have her name dragged through the mud than risk Bethany or her sister’s life.
Overall, Clarin and Bethany's story is sweet and sensual with some delightful play between the parties. In the entire story among the main characters there is no dubious consent or non-consent even though the title implies a much more aggressive setting. It's a quick, pleasant, and uncomplicated read with loving interactions between the protagonists.
Recommended to readers who are looking for a F/f sugarkink read.
Favorite quote:
Being bisexual was like having a hand in each honey pot.
Not a genre i have read recently. But this book had all the elements i love about the genre, the slaves, rules, space travel, a chase, possible capture. ..... Helping to get teach Bethany to be a submissive for the mission, will test Bethanys resolve to get back her sister.
This story was fantastic! I loved the world building, it was so wonderful. I felt like I was on the spaceship. There was this cool whip that would not leave a mark on a person but still cause a sting.

Much shorter than I was expecting. The sci-fi element was nothing more than backdrop and could have easily been dropped as it didn't add anything to the story.
