Across the Stars
Science Fiction/Fantasy
Solae O'bora is the most successful bounty hunter around. She always gets her man and she's not above using her sexuality to do it. What she won't do is allow herself to become involved with any man who wants to control her.
Raav Asirian makes war for money, a ruthless mercenary with a reputation for exotic sexual appetites. He'd like nothing better than to get his hands on luscious bounty hunter, Solae O'bora, but she continually declines his advances. Until a twist of fate brings them together on Cyntr-Rho, the pleasure planet.
On R&R, Asirian spies Solae in a local hot spot, dancing seductively with a known felon. Assuming she's after a bounty, he makes a deal with the bar owner in an effort to bring the gorgeous hunter to heel. He's got something she wants, and to get it, she must agree to spend one night in his bed -- doing anything and everything he demands of her. Thus begins her initiation into the world of BDSM, where pleasure and pain are intimate bedfellows and giving up control is the biggest turn on of all.
On her own again, Solae arrives on Toru Two to collect bounty papers on the pirate who’d killed her mother and sister. To her dismay, she learns she is to be partnered with Asirian. Despite their mutual fears, they fall in love, only to be torn apart by a secret Asirian has kept hidden from her -- a secret she may never be able to forgive.
In a desperate bid for freedom, she steals his transport and flees, only to discover it's not so easy to leave a man willing to follow you across the stars.

About the author
India Masters
17 books33 followersI was born in Melbourne, Florida when it was still a tiny little town, and I was pretty much raised at the beach. At a fairly young age, my father moved us to Summerville, South Carolina. He chose South Carolina because Northrup Aviation wanted to transfer him to California, where he figured his three daughters would wind up getting into trouble. As luck would have it, I grew up to be a hippie anyway! At 16 years old, I ran away from home to go to Woodstock. I wish I could say I made it, but I got caught before I ever got out of South Carolina.
I've been married twice - unsuccessfully both times - but the second one netted me a beautiful daughter who is nearly 23 years old. I'm happily divorced with no plans of changing my marital status.
I have a B.A. in Forensic Psychology and have been doing social work for a number of years. I've worked in Addictions, Community Mental Health, Corrections, and most recently, Child Welfare. Having seen the best and worst in people, I pretty much keep to myself now. My daughter worries about the lack of a man in my life but I tell her I write my own men now and the fantasy is better than the reality.
I've been writing since my early twenties but never thought about trying to get published until I met my pal, Sheri Livingston, in a Yahoo group. I have several e-books published and several works in progress on my desktop. I have so many stories in my head that sometimes I feel a little schizophrenic. But then, I'm a psychiatric social worker, so I can treat myself!

Infinite Desire is a futuristic steamy insta-love kind of read. I really enjoyed the first half of the book, caught up in their game, but as soon as the insta-love kicked in, the story went down another path. It's a quick read, so I grabbed it not only for the cover but the promise of two strong stubborn leads battling for power and hot steamy sex. But what I got is a little more, which is cool but I felt the length couldn't give the story enough justice in regards to the story the author wanted to tell making it feel a bit rushed and me a little confused. Oh well, at least I gave this a go and suggest to give it a chance, just because I didn't love it doesn't mean you won't as well.

“You’re a tyrant, Asirian, and for the life of me, I don’t know why I put up with it. You’re arrogant, obnoxious, and completely without scruples.”
Raav grinned. “In other words, I’m exactly like you.”
“Exactly.” She busted out laughing.
“Frightening, isn’t it?”

Solae is a mercenary bounty hunter who not many tangle with. There's that tag line, "always gets her man" that comes to mind when Solae is involve. As an ambassador's daughter, she holds an advantage against other bounty hunters because she's well versed in the different planets and their cultures. She can easily assimilate which is demonstrated several times in the book. Raav is an Asirian who's very existence exudes D/s sensuality. He's been chasing Solae for a decade. When they finally partner up, the kinkiness sexiness is on!
The world building in this story is very sketchy. There really isn't too much, most of it I supplied myself. The story's focus is more on the two characters and their erotic journey. It's pretty smexy hawt. It starts up kinky and ends with some territorial Alpha man chest thumping D/s.
There is a twist in the story which didn't catch me off guard only because I read the series out of order. The ending felt rushed and not as believable for me. The sudden changing of sides was a bit surprising. The explanations all made sense, but if there was a bit more information peppered through the story it wouldn't have been so abrupt. The one last item to note, for two men, Ravv and Fyn, who are supposed to be such manly men, they sure do turn tail and run. Or perhaps that was only in their youth and they have out grown it. This smexy D/s sci-fi story is recommended for kinky readers who enjoy some alternative reality pursuit and capture.

Well I spotted this by a new author to me and thought why not? I loved the eye catching cover and quite enjoy the idea of bounty hunters and space pirates . Now add in our kick ass heroine Solae, a woman unafraid to use her wiles and take what she wants and already it's shaping up to be an interesting ride. I knew from the synopsis it was an erotic read and yes almost from get go Solae and the crafty and dominating Raav are doing their very best 'at it hammer and tongs impression' ! I think that's where it fell down for me slightly as this couple have clearly had their eyes on each other for quite some time and it lacked build up. Yes they still have a few issues to work out but there wasn't a lot of development in their relationship just acceptance.
Action? Well not exactly if honest but there is an interesting sub plot woven around this erotic story. Solae has a past that's scarred her and revenge is on her mind but her latest hunt might not end up quite the way she expects and that's what I would have liked to see more of if honest. The sex scenes whilst frequent were ok but it was the surprises that made this worth reading for me.
Not as exciting as I'd hoped but a quick read with entertaining characters and an ending I didn't see coming

I really enjoyed this action-packed sci-fi tale. It was not perfect, but it reminded me of Morgan Hawke's books which are among my favorite erotic sci-fi books. However, there is only a modest amount of world-building in this story so you don't get a lot of flavor of the setting or experience of being in space.
The hero and heroine are both captains of their own ships. and Solae's character can take care of herself in most situations - she is a bounty hunter after all, and Raav is alpha male all the way in his job and in his control of Solae in the bedroom. Their sex scenes are a delight of creativity by the author and I was thrilled to see that Raav has a closet full of interesting toys and equipment which he made good use of. The sex scenes are hot and numerous.
The story ended with a satisfying HEA. Overall a very enjoyable read.

A fun, erotic romp through a future sci/fi world of bounty hunters, pirates, and mercenaries. I enjoyed the world building, which wasn't particularly elaborate, but with a Star Wars feel to it (particularly the bar scene in the first Star Wars movie). The relationship between Solae and Raav was at first adversarial, with Solae refusing to admit she any need for a man. The way it developed was entertaining, although some of Solae's shifts from fighting the attraction to sex kitten were jarring. Absolutely worth reading.

October 17, 2018I am 100% down for space romance, even space erotica, but can we please for the love of Gene Roddenberry stop with the alpha males who take “no” as a challenge to make her say “yes”? Since we spend half the book in Solae’s head, we know she wants Raav, but honestly, I don’t even care any more. No means no means no. No does not mean yes. No does not mean try harder.
Now, all that said, I liked the rest of the plot, and the twist we got towards the end, but I had a hard time believing their insta-lust was insta-love.
In the end, not for me.

This was a fun, hot and sexy read and surprisingly enough it did have some action of the intergalactic kind and not just in the bedroom (although there was some intergalactic horizontal action in space as well). Solae was an independent take charge kind of character whose charms have always attracted the attention of the mercenary Ravv. They get together, engage in a lot of kinky foreplay with some BDSM elements tries to apprehend the so called bad guy and ends up with a twist in the ending. Readers who are not a fun of lost of sex, insta love and fast paced plot development will not really love Infinite Desire. But for those who like to spice up their reading pleasures every so often plus love strong female characters who have that take charge attitude then Infinite Desire is definitely for you.

Holy Scifi Hotness Batman!
If you're in the mood for an extra smutty good time, then you will love the over-the-top alpha Raav and the woman who swears she doesn't want him for more than one night, Solae. I love, love heroines that kick butt and take names, Solae is that and more. The chemistry between the pair is hot enough to catch your Kindle on fire and when the heart gets involved you'll melt into a puddle of swoony goo.
Pleasantly surprised by this book, it's a first for me from this author and unfortunately, most of these kinds of books leave me wanting. The storyline is there, but is overshadowed in many ways by the amount of smut...definitely not for someone who is looking for a book heavy in story. But if you like a whole lot of sexy and a quick read, Infinite Desire by India Masters is the book for you!

Travelling the galaxy in search of the man responsible for the deaths of her mother and sister is the only life Solae knows. So being offered the bounty for that man is better than she ever expected. However catching while in the presence of Raav is her worse fear. Especially as Raav makes her forget her duty and lose her control.
I really enjoyed Infinite Desire by India Masters. It is the first in her Across the Stars series and it was full of sexual tension from beginning to end. Raav has chased Solae from one end of the galaxy to the other and when given an opportunity to catch her plans to use her body and desires against her. But will his plans back fire?
This was my first time reading Ms. Masters’ work and it will not be the last. She gave us characters that were strong willed with a sense of humor. I enjoyed seeing Raav and Solae butt heads only to find themselves burning their differences away with passion. Ms. Masters kept the story moving along even as she provided an unexpected twist. Both Raav and Solae were well developed characters whose passion and chemistry was believable. I liked seeing them find a way to build a relationship. This story was a nice quick read.

*4.5 stars*
Space sizzles…
And proof is in this super-hot novella set in a futuristic world. The cover caught my attention – how could it not? Beautiful, sexy… And it was the wrapper around a heat-filled romance set in the stars. Novella-sized, this read wasted no time in diving into Solae’s quest for revenge and Raav’s goal to help her, while helping himself – to her…. Solae was a kick-a$$ heroine who never missed a beat in her need to avenge her family. Raav could have been a distraction but instead became the most important thing to her, and her mission. The feelings were mutual so quickly they were combustible as well as unbeatable…
This was my first read of this author and I loved the natural writing style, the characters and the plot. Pretty much everything quickly ticked all the ‘good read’ boxes. A twist at the end was jaw-dropping but set the tone for an ending that was just plain perfect. I’ll be looking for everything written by this author starting now!

Really this is a zero star book, but I have to give it something.
If I had both a fire-place and a physical copy of this book, I would throw this book into the flames. I adore a good sci-fi romance, and this book was the farthest thing from it. I was very irate a majority of this novel.

I got this book from net gallery for an honest review.
Solae is a bounty hunter, who uses her sex appeal to capture criminals.
Raav and his crew need downtime after their last mission overran. They dock at Cyntur-Rho - a pleasure planet - all he wants to do is find a willing woman to satisfy him. He recognises another craft and knows all to well who it belongs to, Captain Solae O'bora. His attempts to bed her over the years have failed miserably but today that's all going to change.
Solae is caught trying to catch a bounty in a club without notifying the club owner. Raav intervenes and proposes a deal - one night in his bed doing everything he asks. Will she accept his offer?
Raav and Solae are one of a kind - both are hot headed and both want control. Solae is fiery, stubborn and defies Raav at every turn. Raav is only too happy to be the man to tame the hot lioness.
I absolutely loved the book - it had an innovative narrative which was exciting yet sexy. I enjoyed Raav's dirty mouth and his confidence to bend her to his will. Raav has exortic tastes in the bedroom: so no surprise that he uses bondage, paddling and butt plugs to assert his dominance and control. I found Solae a little overbearing sometimes - she wants him but pushes him away but Raav is definitely not having none of that. Raav's had a taste of her and he's greedy for more - he wants her forever but will she want him?
This book was steamy and sexy: I'm surprised my kindle didn't blow up lol. The characters complemented each other nicely. I enjoyed the twists and the turns in this book, which kept me eagerly flipping through the pages.
Fantastic book which I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Infinite Desire (Across the Stars #1) came out on June 22nd for...$0.99!! It's a steal for the journey that India Masters takes you on when you read it. This is a paranormal erotica so strongly suggest that readers are 18+ years old.
Solae is a bounty hunter who uses feminine wiles to get her man, er, criminal. Asirian is our alpha who also hunts, but in this case, he's been chasing her "Across the Stars". Finally, Solae needs help from Asirian, but it comes with a price. Granted, if she really didn't want to, she didn't need to make the deal. However, it was a great excuse to finally give in to him.
Solae also has a dark past, filled with a need for vengeance and Asirian is also needed to help her with it. Knowing that this current bounty will make her lose focus, Asirian asks her for control. Being a control freak, Asirian will need to be VERY persuasive *cheeky grin*.
Really, this is a lot of smuttiness in this book. Be warned! The actual love factor was rushed, so the romance wasn't built as well as the lustiness in this book. The second book is already out and I have it downloaded. Will be reviewing that one too!

Wow!
The action literally started right away! Such a super steamy read, had me fanning myself. The best part of this? There was actually a story to be told amongst the sex scenes. Most erotica has a story as a backdrop but this one had an even mix of both that did not disappoint. You have your story, sexy times, and some twists and turns that made this an amazing read!
You have Solae, a bounty hunter who isn't afraid nor ashamed to use her body how she see's fit. She's been propelled by some terrible happenings in her past and it keeps her going.
Then you have Raav, a super sexy mercenary who exudes confidence and a skill set sought out... In bed.
Raav has been after Solae for years and now that he has her he isn't letting go. He leaves with her to hunt someone from her past. But there are things he's keeping that just might ruin anything and everything they have!
I gave this 5 stars because there was more than just sex. When you think erotica thats what some people assume. Just sex. But this has a story worth reading!

I received a copy of this book for an honest review. This book is considered erotic fiction and when it came to the sex scenes it did not disappoint. However, this book did what many erotic fiction books do and focused mostly on the sex. If you have never read erotic fiction before this may be difficult to get. The plot of the book was good but the book lacked character development. It jumped from as serious issue and solved everything with sex. The scenes were too unbelievable.
I wanted to know more. Who were theses characters and what was there background. How had they gotten to this point in their life, where we currently meet them. I liked the two main characters but I know nothing about them that was worth me talking about. Nothing truly touched me.
If you want a quick hit and run sexy book it is great but if you want to get into character development, this may not be the best choice.

India Masters is a brand new author for me and I thoroughly enjoyed this first book in the Across the Stars series.
A solitary bounty hunter, who uses her feminie wiles to lure her prey and make a living, definitely isn’t looking for a partner with anterior motives that threaten her control. Solae O’bora knows this new job isn’t going to plan, but is reluctant to take the offered help of someone she has strived to keep at arms length.
Raav Asirian exudes sex, power and dominance and if he has to resort to bribery to get what he wants; so be it. Having observed the luscious Solae for years, Raav knows that he needs to grab any opportunity that presents itself to get this independent, evasive woman in his bed.
A fabulous story filled with excitement, danger and so much sexual intensity it burned up the pages!

I was given the ebook for free in exchange for and honest review from Netgalley and Beyond the Page Publishing
Really not a fan.
Well if you like lots of explicit sex and little character development, i guess infinite Desire would be your cup of tea but unfortunately for me this is not one of those reads i could get through excitedly. Infinite Desire was almost put into my DNF pile, but through sheer stubbornness and some really good action packed parts of the book i made it through; honestly i did not have a problem with the explicit erotica i just wish the author, had gone further into Solae and Raav's background. Realistically i would have given a 2.5, but there is no in between so i rounded up

Opening lines:
“Entering Cyntur-Rho airspace, Raav.”
Raav Asirian clapped a hand on the communications officer’s shoulder. “Very good. Open communications and let them know we’re on our way in.”
"Across the Stars" is the second book I've read by this author, both of them futuristic erotica. This one has light elements of bondage and strong elements of badassery one-up-manship. I know I just made that phrase up, but it fits this book - both the H and h needing to get the upperhand on the other person. I wanted to tell both of them, enough!
A fine enough book, if you enjoy the genre. The ending felt too forced, like a rush to conclusion in 100 words or less. I would have enjoyed it if the author spent more time with the resolution of the main plot line.

In this book we meet Solae O’bora who is forced to team up with Raav Asirian who has had a thing for her for years. Little does Raav know that Solae returns his interest. These two heat up the galaxy on a mission to rescue two kidnap victims from the one man Solae want dead most of all. In short this book was excellent! It was made enjoyable by its fast pace and the author’s way of explaining her world that let the reader focus on the story. Infinite Desire grabs you from the first page and doesn’t let go until the end. This is a great choice if you are looking for a one day read just to treat yourself.

***Shoutout to NetGalley for giving me a copy of this book in exchange of an honest review online.***
Infinite desire was a great read. There were some hot scenes and the romance between Solae and Raav were simply amazing. Although it seemed like an abusive relationship at first, i like the way everything ended. There's not much to say about this book other than the fact that it was well-written. I gave it a 4-star rating due to the fact that i felt like the story was happening to fast. A little bit more of character development for the main characters or adding more elements on Solae's past would be much appreciated. Overall, it was a quick-read and perfect for someone who travels and needs to kill sometime.

Raav and Solae have come across each other many times over the years but for Raav, he's lusted after her for just as long. Now that there is a bounty on the man who killed Solae's family, they will have to work together to cross the galaxy and bring him down and save the women he has captured.
This trip will open both their eyes that they are meant to be together, but some truths and secrets will come to light that both will have to fight to stay together. Piracy, kidnapping, lying, secrets, and scorching sex...these two have quite the lives.
It was a quick read and I really enjoyed it.

Received through NetGalley for an honest review.
A very hot and steamy sci-fi romance. I enjoyed that both of the main characters have such strong personalities.
Solae is a female bounty hunter. She always gets her bounty. But there is one she wants the most, the man that killed her mother and sister. Raavis a mercenary that has trying to get Solae in his bed for years. And through some trickery he has her but now he may not want to let her go. The two of the are explosive in bed and are always butting heads out of it.

3.0 stars for the benefit of the doubt.
This was a DNF for me. I like my stories with sex, not sex with a small bit of story. I could watch bad porn for that. I prefer to be engaged by my characters and my interest in them and Then I'm interested in the sex. I'm not a prude by any means, so this was one of those instances where the story didn't jive with my type of paranormal erotic. I think others would really enjoy it though.
Heavy on the sex, less on the story, but still well written and good world building.
Thank you to NetGalley for ARC to review!

This is porn with a plot…sort of. The plot could probably have been told in 3 chapters. The writing is fairly good, but it does get repetitive when more than half (ok, let’s be honest here, it’s probably more than 2/3) of each chapter is spent on graphic sex. About half way through the book I was bored and ready to put it down, and I only finished it because I hate not finishing books (and movies). There is also a lot of back story to the main character that isn’t really explained at all. I felt like I was coming in on book 7 in a series.

I thought this was a sexy read but a few things bothered me.
Solae is a strong female character, except when Raav is asserting himself. She seems to give into him too easily for such a strong personality.
When she finds out some truths about Raav and Du-Ket, it all seems to end suddenly. Like the last 10 years of her life have been for nothing. It's almost a let- down.
I give it 4 stars because of how the story wraps up.

My type of story but lacked the bite that would really pull it to 4 or 5 stars. I liked both Raav and Solae - and the story of how they've constantly "crossed" paths was full of sexual tension. The sex and D/s was good - litely kinky and fun. And that's perhaps the best way to class this - a fun romp without a lot of depth.

You will love reading about Solae O’bora and Raav Asirian. Solae had to get help from the one mad she always spurned. But does it come at too high of a price? For his help Solae has to go to bed with his. But only his way. She has to give up what she fears the most to give her control. I can't wait to read more of this series. I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

The was a fun read. I usually do not do Sci-Fi, but it was just to tempting. I could not pass it up.
I will recommend this book, and read it again!
