Life on planet Alpha should be an idyll for Sukh, but his soul is tormented knowing his family's standing on Xyran has dropped due to his capture. How can he be happy knowing they are suffering due to him?
Nakai finds his contented home life with his bondmates disrupted by Tokala, a rich and powerful Alphan with an agenda of his own, while Einian fears their family is breaking apart from forces he's powerless to stop.
When Sukh and Nakai fall into the clutches of an old and deadly enemy, Einian doesn't hesitate to go after them, and he doesn't care what he may have to do to save them.
Living in New Zealand I'm a multi-published author of m/m romance and erotica. My preferred genres are paranormal, sci-fi, fantasy and steampunk. When not writing I can be found indulging in my other passions of cookery and wine appreciation.
It has been far too long since I’ve paid a visit to Planet Alpha, and this sequel to ‘Captive’ was a great way to reconnect. Nakai, the Alphan warrior-turned-winemaker on his family estate, Einian, his human mate, and Sukh, a Xyran warrior, have managed to form a permanent relationship at the end of the previous book. But many issues remain to be resolved, and not just within the three men’s relationship. As a consequence, ‘Redemption’ is full of intrigue, surprises, adventures, cultural and other obstacles for the men to deal with, as well as a lot of loving – as often as the guys can fit it in.
Einian has his hands full in this installment. He is the “glue” in the ménage in many ways, and as much reassurance as he needs, when push comes to shove, he is as strong as his two mates. Nakai has political subterfuge to deal with on Alpha, coming from a group of “purists” who want to rid Alpha of all non-Alphans using whatever methods are necessary. And Sukh battles his very nature as a Xyran warrior. He has made a lot of adjustments, but the one worry nobody can help him with is his family’s fate back on Xyran.
Then their enemies unite and Sukh and Nalai end up on Xyran – as prisoners at the mercy of those who want revenge for the consequences of Sukh’s actions. What a mess! It takes all three bondmates working together to figure their way out of a pretty hopeless situation and I held my breath more than once while they fought for their lives.
If you like Einian, Nakai, and Sukh from ‘Captive’ and want to see how they deal with bonded life, if you like watching triads deal with internal and external issues, and if you’re looking for a read that is as surprising and suspenseful as it is emotional and hot, not to mention a wonderful happy ending, then you will probably like this novella.
What a great book… at first it took me a little bit to get into it because there was a back story I had not read…
The author did a great job in summarizing the characters and their story…
These 3 men are very hot but are dealing with evil forces that have planned to tear them apart… I was able to read in short time a very well written moving story that gave you action and love all in one.
I will say that this may not be everyone’s cup of tea and some might find the book out of their comfort zone… I hope you can keep an open mind when reading this book…
I definitely hope that I get another installment… I give this book 3 diamonds…
