Review by CactusSexual satisfaction is easy to find for angel-demon-human hybrids. But romantic fulfillment? Not so. Something’s gotta give for Tole and Zee, the two relationship-challenged members of the Coven of Three. Both must struggle with confounding matters of the heart while tackling another challenge on behalf of the Utopian Metroplex of Regenerie.
Ridley Barron, Tole’s vampire lover, has decided to leave Regenerie indefinitely. His lifestyle is stressful for Tole, and Ridley can no longer bear hurting the man he loves. If he’s away long enough, he reasons, Tole might just find another, more suitable partner.
Zee, too, has problems on the romance front. His sometimes lover has taken a shine to her new co-leader, Sebastian, and this rival’s rapidly eclipsing Zee as the apple of her eye.
Meanwhile, disturbing reports have been circulating about the Pleasureplex of Xanandru, a hub of carnal indulgence far to the southwest of Regenerie. Bloodsport, sexual slavery, abuse of minors — all are rumored to be taking place in this nouveau Sin City.
Zee volunteers to travel there as “just another anonymous perv” and snoop around. Sick of feeling like “the angelic dickless wonder,” he figures he needs a break from his do-good routine. An unexpected and intriguing email also leads Ridley to the Pleasureplex…but for an entirely different reason.
What happens in Xanandru does not stay in Xanandru, and it will drastically change the lives of good and bad guys alike.
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, violence.
Returning to the futuristic world of Utopia X, this third installment delves more deeply into the relationships of two of the three leaders of Regenerie. Tole and his vampire lover are having some problems fulfilling their needs. Sexually they’re very compatible but emotionally and romantically they stumble. Neither wants to let the either go but with frustration mounting, Ridley makes some rash decisions. Zee is struggling with his own love life after being spurned by his lover, he accepts a foolhardy mission and finds new love in the process.
The book is divided into several parts.

The first part deals with the relationship with Tole and Ridley, showing the mounting frustration and angst the two feel. Although neither man is much for emotional declarations they both struggle with Ridley’s need to feed and the affects it has on Tole’s mental and emotional well-being. The resolution to the problem is obvious and takes Ridley and Tole the entire length of the book to recognize and implement. This was frustrating because if the men had simply talked to one another, the tension, angst, and problems wouldn’t exist. Then of course there would be no real plot to the book so if you don’t mind reading about stubborn men who refuse to simply and intellectually discuss their problems, you may enjoy this storyline.
While Tole and Ridley are somewhat frustrating in their angst, their love is sweet, romantic and lovely to watch unfold. Ridley is not the brightest of vampires, but he tries hard and is always at the right place at the right time to help with those who unwittingly need such help. Two men who desperately need Ridley’s help are Zee and his new lover Sebastian. Zee’s idea that he can accomplish a spy mission to prove he’s a valued member of the ruling threesome backfires as he does exactly and predictably what everyone feared and embroils himself in a nasty scheme where he is solidly in the victim role. This was also frustrating as Zee proves why he is not that smart or cunning and is easily manipulated and led, all the reasons he set out to prove himself. Perhaps the reader is supposed to feel sorry for Zee and understand his poor choices, but I felt they were predictable and obvious. They simply proved he’s a rather weak character in my opinion.
So while there was definite frustration in the book, for well over half of the story the narration was interesting and engrossing. It was only once the group got to Xanandru that the characters fell apart and the manipulations of the author and story became obvious and frustrating. For fans of the series, you’ll definitely want to get this installment to see how each character ends up happy. The path is at times annoying and frustrating, but the ending was rather happy especially so for Tole and Ridley who fast became my favorite couple of the series. Their love story is worth reading the book for.
