Synopsis:
Set in the world of the bestselling title Legend Beyond the Stars, an erotic novella about two warriors who have lost the ability to desire, and the human woman who is about to wake them up.
Fran must have been crazy to leave her ordinary, safe life and volunteer as a colonist to terra-form a new earth. Now she is trapped in a prison cell on an alien planet a zillion miles from home and bound for a hideous death in notorious research chambers.
She has one chance of escape: awaken the long dormant sexual urges of the Darkon Warriors shackled in the next cell.
It’s a desperate job, but someone has to do it.

Review:
This
is a short story – both in length and time elapsed within the story line. There
really isn’t any time to develop a relationship between the heroine and the two
warriors who are the heroes. Maybe the Darkon race have one of those “oh yeah,
that’s the one!” buttons but the heroine figures she’s just available – sort of
a hook-up on the fly. We don’t know, it’s pretty much never discussed.
The
story starts with our heroine stuck in a cell with a bunch of other, mostly
non-human, females who are assuming they are in for a Bad End. Down the hall
are several Darkon warriors the guards have been having a great time beating
on. Some of the females tell her that sex can change these guys into
supercharged warriors who can get them all out of there. Then they all look at
her…
So
she’s the one who sneaks out of the cell and into the one holding the Darkon.
One of the three has succumbed to his injuries and the other two are pretty
much beaten to a pulp. You can pretty much figure out what happens next – sex,
escape, sex, rescue, etc. After the escape she keeps trying to leave – after
all, they’re not really interested in her, right? Especially when she figures
out that the two heroes are more than friends.
Then
she sneaks off AGAIN – jumping into yet another dangerous situation and being
rescued yet again. And finally they have a little talk…
It
was an okay read-once, but I plan to check out Legend Beyond the Stars and see
what the author can do with a full novel.
