DESCRIPTION:
Seduced and abandoned? When Ms. Tachna does relationships, she does them well; sex scenes, likewise. World building, pretty good. But--too much telling, not enough showing. Some characters are fully fleshed out and very involving, some are two-dimensional, too matter of fact and seem to be there merely as deus ex machinaI enjoyed reading the book and wanted to know the outcome, but I felt like I was in a con. Beautiful world Gabriel Blackstone is an inventor in the merchant caste of his society. Lucio is the companion from the pleasure caste that Gabriel's assistants bought him for the night as a gift. The two were meant to meet up, have dinner, get what was paid for, and part ways. Instead, Gabriel refuses to touch Lucio in the name of his honor and support for Caste Equality. Thus Gabriel secures a place. Interesting Read "I cannot change what they do to my body, but I will never kiss anyone but you." A kiss was all that Lucio could give Gabriel to show his love.This book went a long way in derailing my thoughts and feelings when I first started reading mainly because I had no idea where I was as far as time and space was concerned.

After that night, Gabriel tells himself to forget about Lucio, but a chance meeting at a ball makes it clear neither of them is willing to ignore the compelling chemistry between them. As an activist in the Caste Equality movement, everything Gabriel believes in tells him to refuse the gift, but then he meets Lucio. Gabriel Blackstone's world is divided quite clearly into castes: everyone knows their place and abides by it. It will take all their combined trust and cunning, plus the help of a wily aristocrat and a plucky political activist, to overcome the challenges of infidelity, abuse, and social stigma that lay along their road; however, Gabriel knows it will all be worth it if at the end of the day he can call Lucio his own.. The beautiful and alluring companion is far more than the vapid courtesan he'd expected, and he can't get the man out of his mind. As an inventor in the merchant caste, his life is predictable in its routine until the night his best friends and assistants, Caleb and Andrew, purchase the time-and body-of a companion for his birthday
