Futuristic Romance
Rating:
Agent Ulyssa Payne works for the Human Intelligence Agency. Her mission is to prevent
the Medical Mafia from spreading biological weapons throughout the galaxy. After
months on a mail-order bride ship with only women, she wants nothing more than a bath,
a drink, and a man, in that order. First she must get off the planet, and in her way stands
King Kirill, Ruler of the Vars, on the planet Qurilixen.
Kirill is the king of a race of cat-men. Little does he know that before man’s death, he
kidnapped a certain space traveler. When he first sees Ulyssa he is intrigued by her
outspoken ways, so unlike the other women of his father’s harem. No matter how he
tries to resist, he is unwillingly drawn to her even if it is against everything his taciturn
father taught him and his brothers.
Ulyssa finds herself a prisoner in the Var palace awaiting on a king who is never going
to come. King Attar died and left her in a harem, much to her chagrin. Once she and
Kirill meet, however, she is drawn to him immediately. When she inadvertently claims
herself to be his woman, they are drawn into a relationship against their will. Together
they must attempt to avert a global disaster. It sounds like a tall order and it is, but not
too tall for a king and his very talented mistress.
My heart broke at certain points of the story, my pulse raced at other parts. The love
scenes between the two main characters were steamy to the extreme and not just the
ones in the shower. Ulyssa is strong-willed without losing her innate femininity, and Kirill
is one hot alpha male who just oozes sex appeal. This book was wonderful, beginning at
Ulyssa’s laugh out loud inner rant to the very satisfying climax at the end. In between is a
riveting story with vivid characters leaping off the page and into this reader’s heart.
Thanks Ms. Pillow, I look forward to more of the Lords of Var.
