Spthifius by Miranda Martin by James D. Horton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Savannah was kidnapped by alien space pirates and sold to the highest bidder as a slave. Life on Krix is dangerous and hard and the only people the owners care about are their alien gladiators who will bring glory to House Batius. She thought she would do anything to be free but when she is asked to cosy up to one of the gladiators in order to be sure he is telling the truth when he says he knows how to contact the Free Movement she baulks. He is loud, arrogant, full of himself and a grade Alpha-hole - the stereotypical bad boy but with green skin and tusks. She should hate him but instead her heart speeds up and butterflies dance in her stomach when he looks at her. Spthifius lives by two rules - take what you want or have it taken from you and don't let anyone close because if you let them in they can hurt you. He wants Savannah from the moment he lays eyes on her but he knows he can't let himself have those thoughts - he knows one night with her and both those rules will be broken. However, when Dominus offers Savannah as a prize for any of the Gladiators to win and use, he’ll break every rule in the galaxy to make sure she’s no one else's but his.
I really enjoyed this story - it was a mutual lust while disliking followed by a misunderstanding that needed intervention to sort out. I loved the way he did everything to protect the woman he loved as well as all the other women from someone who would have seriously injured them. It seems that all he needed was to find the right woman and them he would love totally and completely. An addictive story that I really enjoyed. Easy to read and understand. Contains some sexual content.
