Double Shot

Tales Of The Shareem #1.5 & 2

by Allyson James

This print anthology contains two Tales of the Shareem stories: Rio (full novel), and Maia & Rylan (10,000-word short).

Rio: Genetically programmed to provide every woman's wildest fantasy, Rio is the ultimate Dom. His bad-boy smile and Shareem-blue eyes can make the most frigid woman fall to her knees and beg him to be gentle. But not too gentle. Nella, Princess of Ariel, has never heard of Shareem. She sees Rio only as the man who rescues her from assassination and who hides her until she can get back to her family. A friend. But Rio can't fight his programming, and before long he's taking the sexy princess aside to give her some very interesting lessons in trust, never dreaming she's giving him lessons in love.

Maia & Rylan: DNAmo created the Shareem—males genetically altered to be the ultimate in sexual pleasure. Hidden in their files is record of a secret experiment—the first and only female Shareem, a black-haired, blue-eyed woman named Maia.

Inside the DNAmo compound, Rylan, a level-two Shareem, is the bright point in Maia's life. Though forbidden to see the experimental Shareem female, Rylan finds secret ways to meet her, to befriend her, and to teach her every sinful game he knows.

But on the day DNAmo shuts down, Maia disappears without a trace. Heartbroken, Rylan will do anything to find her...

Reviews

[Cindy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good read - what can I say, I love Rio! This contains book 2 [Maia & Rylan:] and book 3 [Rio & Nella:].

These books go beyond the sex [and the sex is very well done:] to reveal the humanity of the Shareem and the unbearable situation they are caught in.

HOTTTT and good love stories too, but that is exactly what I expect from this author, no matter what name she uses. This book has 2 stories(Books 2 & 3) of the Shareem, genetically enhanced humans that are bred for pleasure. YUM. Well worth the read, but keep your husband (or reasonable facsimile) near by!

I liked Rees' story better.

Rio is definitely my favorite of the Shareem so far...but I'm waiting for Aiden and Ky to be released in print before I decide!
