Golden Collar #1.5
Coronation
Golden Collar: Book 1.5
Sequel to Choices
When a country crowns a new ruler, the people rejoice. For most, it’s a time to put away old fears and look to a future of peace and prosperity. But for Teman, a pleasure slave in the land of Neyem, the coronation of his love and master Bathasar fills him with new fears.
Assassination rumors roll through the country—and Bathasar is the target. And Teman knows a malik has many duties. Bathasar may not have room in his life for devotion to a slave—a lover he can’t publicly claim. The love they have might shine brighter than the crown’s jewels, but only if they can keep it alive against all odds.
A Timeless Dreams title: While reaction to same-sex relationships throughout time and across cultures has not always been positive, these stories celebrate M/M love in a manner that may address, minimize, or ignore historical stigma.

true love.
Teman was a pleasure slave to the king and the coronation was coming up, and he feared that he would no longer hold the place in the King's heart. It turned out. He had nothing to fear. The king was as in love with him as he was the king.a very good story, and very well written.

A wonderful short story with some of my favorite characters from Choices. Definitely a read to get you interested in the Golden Collar series if you haven't read Choices.

Well balanced interlude showing the coronation and the continued relationship of Bathasar and Teman. I enjoyed seeing Bathasar's commitment to Teman and Teman's struggle to find his place.

Review written for MM Good book Reviews
And this short story comes back with my favorite slave Teman and his Master and Malik of Neyem, Bathasar. If you haven’t read the first book, Choices, then this story might come a bit as a shock or ludicrous to you, especially some of the scenes that have the slaves displayed naked and wanting in court. You might also have a bit of trouble truly understanding Teman’s conditioning – and I must admit that in the first book Teman’s training was perhaps my favorite – and his ability to be available at all times. So if you’re new to this series I strongly recommend you read the novel first.
Now, back to this story, the theme here revolves mostly at Teman’s fears and how his and Bathasar’s life might change after the coronation. We’ve already read in Choices how Bathasar was more than willing to refuse his throne for Teman’s sake, but having the worrisome brain that he has and constantly over thinking things, Teman cannot help but doubt that their life together is truly going to be as easy as it’s promised... keep reading MM Good book Reviews

Beautiful follow up story to Choices. I loved revisiting Teman and Bathasar in this free short. Wonderfully written, sweet and sexy with a plot that develops the characters further from where we left them off in the last book. Like Choices, I recommend Coronation to anyone who enjoys well written romance that is erotic with BDSM elements, rich worldbuilding, and realistic, likeable characters.
