The Half Breed Chronicles #2
Captive Hearts
Carsten Vasilescu is building a new life for himself on Alpha’s Moon when a shipment of love slaves arrives. When Carsten goes aboard to escort them down, the captain tells him of one "special" slave, an uncommonly beautiful one, who’s been kept captive by the crew, caged and abused, and they offer Carsten a special price to take him off their hands.
Carsten is shocked to see that the gorgeous human in the cage is Albany Adams, his former lover and the man who betrayed him. Carsten rescues him, but he can’t decide whether he should kill him or make passionate love to him. Albany is hiding secrets that will change everything Carsten thinks he knows about him, but can they overcome their mistrust and hatred of each other long enough to give the love they feel for each other a fighting chance?
Meanwhile, a galaxy away, Ryker Mondai learns that Lex has been taken captive by his father, hated enemy Luther Colombo, being held in the heart of the Alliance, on Lycanus itself, and forced to marry another man. Furious, Ryker goes after him, aided by his father and disguised as a Lycan officer.
Will Ryker be in time to save Lex or will the lovers be torn apart forever and their chance for happiness destroyed?

The residents of Alpha's Moon are trying to get their settlement in order. Of course that means needing supplies from the Nilaniums. Along with the normal staples, they were also in the market for love slaves.
Imagine Carsten's surprise when he sees Albany, his true mate who betrayed him and had him sent to prison. Can betrayal be forgiven and the past stay in the past? Carsten will find betrayal runs deeper then he ever imagined and some lines can't be uncrossed.
While on Venuvia, Lex and Lucretia get ambushed and kidnapped while Ryker and Anton are out on business. Can Ryker get Lex back before he is sold to someone else? Can Ryker's new influential family fix the chaos that is Luther Columbo? And what does it all mean for the occupants of Alpha's Moon?
This is such a great series! I absolutely love what Shannon West has done with it and cannot wait to read the next installment!

Love how the plot thickens in this book
I definitely liked this book more than the previous one, though I still have to ask what kind of changes happened for Lex when Ryker injected his venom because there was definitely some kid of reaction even if it wasn't the mating urge.
I didn't quite understand the timing of Carsten's father seemingly, simultaneously lying to Albany and yet telling him the exact opposite truth as well...
It will certainly be interesting to see what happens in coming books.

I usually don't like book series with stories that overlap and continue but this series actually does it fairly well. I do wish that we had more flushing out of Albany and Carstens reconciliation. After they realized they had been lied to we didn't really get to see the full story of what happened next.

This one really needs a better editor - too many errors that even I can spot. Use of wrong character names being the most obvious and most annoying and even more prevalent than in book one. Apart from that the storyline wasn't bad.
