Bound by Temptation
[Siren Everlasting Classic ManLove: Erotic Alternative Sci-Fi Consensual BDSM Romance, M/M, HEA]
Temptation stripped away their masks…
Supreme ruler of his planet, Zigog Claelyan, was kept so frantically busy he had no time to be tempted, until an admirer gives him a rare and expensive earthling. When the arrogant creature seems to have no interest in him, Zigog is furious and reluctantly intrigued.
There is nothing Dalton Boyd hates more than feeling powerless. When he’s caged and given as a gift to an alien who clearly has everything, he’s willing to do anything to torment him—even ignore him. When his strategy works a little too well, Dalton discovers he’s just as captivated as his new master.
As their masks fall away and they succumb to temptation, can Zigog and Dalton face one another with honesty? Or will they allow dark secrets and deep-seated fears to ruin their chance at the mystical soul resonance?

While this is not a sequel to the first book of the series, and stands completely on its own, it is linked since it tells the story of Dalton, Hunter's best friend. They got separated after both being selected by the Eoean's lottery, and I was happy that I'd find out what happened to Dalton. I didn't expect him to have an easy time, since he is a Dom, yet he was shipped off to be a king's birthday present and slave. Fortunately, things aren’t always what they seem, and seeing him learning the ways of the planet Vegoth and its supreme ruler, King Zigog, was absolutely fascinating.
Dalton has issues with emotional attachments. That became clear in the way he connects to his best friend Hunter, yet doesn't want to admit he loves him. He does, in the end, but only under duress. His new home, the planet Vegoth, is very different from Earth, and none of the patterns he looks for seem to fit. Not their music, or their visual art, or their buildings. When he does figure it out, it's a major revelation and paves the way to understanding much of their cultural beliefs as well. Figuring out himself and his needs is a different matter, that is a little more complicated.
Zigog may be the supreme ruler of an entire planet, but he is a virtual prisoner to his duties. We do find out why later on, and it's very clever, but it would spoil the surprise to explain it here. Zigogis an interesting mix of shy, innocent, and powerfully aware of the emotions swirling around him. He is attracted to Dalton, but trusting him is a bit of a problem. Dalton's initial behavior wasn't exactly encouraging. Thankfully, Zigog perseveres.
The alien culture created in this book is amazing. The process of discovery the two men go through is both made easier and infinitely more complicated because of it, but Dalton is intelligent enough to figure it out, and Zigog is curious and open-minded enough to bear with him. As for me? I was swept away by the ideas and concepts and would love to read more about the planet Vegoth and its fascinating inhabitants.
If you like science fiction stories with men from two vastly different cultures exploring the similarities and differences in their way of seeing the world, if you enjoy reading about truly alien planets, customs, and physiologies, and if you're looking for a hot read that offers a sweet romance on top of some interesting between-the-sheets action, then you will probably like this novella as much as I did. For me, it was an absolute delight to read.

I liked how this book ended but I think it had a hard time reeling me in. It was a little slow at times.
Also, Dalton continually spoke about being a Dom and wanting a sub but in all actuality it seemed like he was only an occasional Dom. they weren't actually in a BDSM relationship which was what we were lead to believe Dalton wanted. So I was a little confused on what was supposed to be going on.

This story is part of a series and can be read as a stand-alone but is best read in order. Dalton is surprised and scared when he is chosen for the alien lottery, he has only just started to explore his Dominate side and now thinks he will never get to experiment further, until he sets eyes on the alien who now owns him. Zigog is the Supreme ruler of his planet and never has any time off, when he is gifted a human at his birthday celebration he is furious and aroused with the humans attitude. Zigog and Dalton soon find themselves losing the masks they hide behind as they succumb to their attraction, but they still have obstacles to overcome if their soul resonance is to bind fully.
This story is slightly connected to Bound by Pleasure through Hunter who was Dalton’s best friend, we saw them as they comforted each other in the hours before they were to leave their homes. Dalton now finds himself in a cage a hundred feet in the air above a celebration, Dalton digs deep to keep his fear at bay and decides he is going to seduce the beautiful gold man as soon as he gets the chance. Zigog is painted gold for his birthday celebration, when he is given the gift of a human he decides he will make the arrogant human bend to his will, but Dalton offers him something he never thought he wanted… Domination.
We are again taken to a new planet with a new culture and we see two males trying to understand each other’s cultures. Dalton has to understand the foundation of Zigog’s society and the way it works for him to really get a grasp because nothing is the same as on Earth, the music, the art and the way they make families is all different but luckily Dalton grasps it quite quickly and Zigog has patience. Zigog has a lot to learn as well as he gets to grasps with Dalton’s vocabulary, their sexual exploits and discovering he has been sheltered on purpose. Their trust builds quickly as they each share themselves with the other, but they soon learn that even though they trust each other Zigog has difficulty trusting himself.
I recommend this to those who love men finding themselves, exploring their sexual needs, Slight D/s, hot sex, building trust and discovering to have faith in ones-self, and a very happy ending when it all comes together.

I was glad to find out what happened to his friend! The alien was differnt in this and the relation of dom and sub was switched to.

while it was interesting to get the dominant personalities perspective the book itself turned out a little bit boring with the conflict. still enjoyable read and better than the first one

It was OK, but I did not liked as much as the two first. I was expecting more from Dalton´s story.

With all the pages in book one of this series just on the friendship between Dalton & Hunter it was disappointing that they never reunited in this story.
