I guess I'm more of a feminist than I thought. This book was a little disturbing on a whole lot of levels for me. Branding women's asses with their Husband/Master names, using Him and He as if he's God, piercing women's breasts with chains to symbolize they're the property of their Husband, making the woman call their Husband Master and don't even get me started on what's required for a woman to perform before she can eat dinner. And these women with porn star boobs are educated scientists who are loving every minute of it. I just couldn't get beyond all of these things. I have a few of the e-books in this series so I'll read them through because I've enjoyed the author's other books but I'm not sure if I'll enjoy them any more if they're along the same lines.
The continuation of the Death Row series, Nellie is still on the run, this time back to the caves. Kerick is still searching for her, and not giving up, while his younger brother is trying to handle his reluctant bride. Quick read and sets the scene for the next book. 3,5 Stars
