Review by Cactus

Rynn made a mistake in taking the drug hextasy with his fiancée. It was supposed to be the ultimate sexual high, except that you have to sleep with the one you desire most. If you don’t, your body won’t be satisfied and you’ll die. Rynn lived, Lynnette didn’t, and now her parents want someone to pay. Either luck or Surseine, the god of justice Himself, takes pity on Rynn by putting his trial in front of one of His judges. Sursei are graced by the god they represent with the power to see truth and Sursei Shasertai finds Rynn innocent of murder.

But the drug is still out there and Shasertai and the people who travel with him are determined to root out the drug lord responsible for its existence. Shas invites Rynn to join them. He goes willingly, fascinated by the judge who gave him a second chance at life.

Rynn might be innocent and straight, but Shas isn’t. He’s gay, happily so, and very much drawn to the farm boy whose simple innocence is a balm to one who can hear through the lies. What he hears is that Rynn’s not gay, so he vows not to get involved. Until another drug, another time, gets in the way…and then he and Rynn will have to deal with the each other’s truths and their growing attraction.

Publisher’s Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: Anal play/intercourse, male/male sexual practices.

The characters are interesting; yet take a turn towards the later half of the book so their relationship definitely keeps you invested and reading to see how they finally end up together. It is a happy ending though so nothing to worry about but the setting, journey and ultimate resolution all make this a good book for fans and those new to the author alike.

The plot revolves around chasing the drug hextasy, which is both a drug and a spell that enhances the sex between two people but only if you are with the person you desire most. Otherwise the spell is deadly and ends up killing the person when their exhausted body gives out. As Shas is chasing the drug dealers of hextasy, he comes across Rynn who ends up going the little group. Rynn is a classic innocent who has very little world experience and even less sophistication.

Tonga Ali overrides the body’s natural instinct by using androgens and estrogens to order cheap levitra greyandgrey.com shut down the elevated testosterone level. He is fascinated with Shas and can’t seem to help himself from reacting to the gorgeous judge. Shas is also an interesting character with his worldly charm, confidence, and self-awareness. Although both characters change in the later half of the book, almost reversing their previous attributes, romance fans may enjoy the heightened emotional and drama scenes as the two work out their relationship.

The interesting futuristic/science fiction setting is used well but the various side plots aren’t resolved very well. The secondary characters slide in and out of scenes without much to distinguish them even though they each have interest and an intrigue of their own. I felt that some plot lines were dropped rather than addressed. Additionally, a highly dramatic scene was one I found highly implausible. While this was clearly a device to progress the relationship between Rynn and Shas, it was unbelievable and given no realistic reasoning to how or why it happened. None of this is ever addressed either.

For the problems I had with the book, I still enjoyed reading it. The yaoi elements to the characters and even when they flipped towards the end are enjoyable themes to read and the futuristic setting was well crafted. While certainly not the best offering from the author, a solid angst filled romance nonetheless and may even be the start of a series considering the unresolved aspects to the book. Especially intriguing is the world of the Sursein and his avatars. The concept of how they distribute justice and their ability to see truth was fascinating and one of the most original and unique parts of the book. Also while there was definite erotica, it was kept to a minimum so the focus could be on the characters and the story for much of the book. Fans of the author will likely enjoy this offering.
