The most important part of Tiberion culture is the keeping of a slave or multiple slaves. However, the Tiberions have a very strict culture, and if Haven and Wren don’t follow it to the letter it may mean the Gowan planet gets destroyed then and there. They go off on a mission to keep one alien race, the Tiberions, from obliterating the entire planet of the peaceable Gowans. They are both deeply in love with each other, but neither would ever admit it because relationships between Masters and their novices are strictly forbidden. As part of the Master/novice link, they can communicate telepathically. Ten years ago, he saved a then twelve Wren from sexual slavery on another planet, and brought him into the order. Quick summary: Haven is a member of ‘The Order of Light’, a peaceful religiousish organization that has great intergalatic power and often acts as mediators in interplanetary disputes. The cover has way more emotion than that of any other romance novel I own, I usually find that the models just look vacant and it’s weird. The composition of the photo is good, and the guy they chose for Wren (the only one whose face we see) is actually attractive, and though he’s not necessarily exactly what I pictured, he still makes sense – has the right hair, etc.

The fact that the characters are being manipulated by an outside power (alien customs that they must abide by or there will be dire consequences) may make some people uncomfortable. I wanted to put a lot of warnings for this because though nothing extreme or horrible happens, there are quite a few possible squicks if you’re opposed to something specific. Warnings: May/December, Master/slave, some ‘discipline’, some bondage, teacher/student, aphrodisiacs, deflowering, toys, voyerism/exhibitionism, very very very light dubcon (the viewpoint character precieves it as dubcon, but it’s extremely obvious to the reader at all times that both parties are perfectly willing). I’ll start with some content hints/warnings. ‘Slave Boy’ by Evangeline Anderson is a gay scifi erotica novel published by Loose Id, and it’s about 250 pages. I’ll start out with the most recent book I’ve read, seeing as I only finished it two days ago.

Since I read what I write – gay fantasy erotica, of course – I thought it might be a good idea to review some of the stuff I read. Book Review – Evangeline Anderson’s ‘Slave Boy’
