Sarina is scarred. Her L’inar, the curving nerve lines that enable Inarrii to experience their full sexuality, were severed in battle and she can no longer reach completion. Until she accepts a job as bodyguard to the human ambassador John Bennings, and is astonished to discover that they share a mental bond—a mirrored pathway of thoughts that will allow Sarina to climax.
When John’s the target of an attack and they are forced into hiding, he’s not sorry to be in close quarters with the compelling Sarina. They explore their erotic connection, and John is happy to demonstrate that humans have more sexual skills than Sarina thought.
To prove that she is whole and rejoin her Inarrii clan, Sarina needs John to bring her to climax in public in accordance with tradition. With a roomful of Inarrii and humans watching, will John be willing to perform as Sarina needs—and will their public display make John vulnerable to another attack?
Sarina who is an alien to Earth called Inarii was wounded (in a previous book) and her L’inar, lines/receptors that are all over her body, no longer function properly. Because of this Sarina can no longer reach orgasm. In her world they use sex as stress relief and believe that if an Inarii cannot reach completion they will slowly go insane. Sarina has been demoted and exiled from her family clan because of her “lack” and has now been ordered to guard John Bennings who is a lawyer that is helping with the treaty between Earth and all its human political parties and the Inarii. The treaty would then open a confederacy that would include other alien life forms in the future. Sarina knows that this assignment will be boring but she can do nothing but agree. She’s not prepared to find John Bennings so very attractive.
John Norton is a Starforce warrior who is undercover as lawyer John Bennings. He is trying to uncover traitors that might stop the treaty from going through. He is so very attracted t Sarina but tries to hold himself back from acting on that lust. She finally makes the decision for him and they start to play. Unfortunately they’re interrupted when their spaceship is attacked. They find that John is the one being targeted and try to get him to an Inarii spaceship so that the treaty can be signed. Unfortunately they run into even more trouble. This doesn’t stop Sarina and John from exploring their attraction for each other in their down time.
This was a fast and fun novella. I hadn’t read the previous two books in this series but I never felt like I was lost in any way as the author did a great job of explaining the Inarii, the treaty and the different alien treaty opposers.
I really liked both Sarina and John even though we didn’t get to know too, too much about either of them. What I did find out and the actions between the two of them they were easily likable and quite enjoyable to read about.
