It seems likely Ondry has been teaching Liam how to make profitable trades, despite his race being obsessed with trades and profits above everything else (so we are led to believe anyway). In this story we meet Liam and Ondry when they already know each other well and have traded with each other for a while. And at the end I cut my long review in two (review of the second book will probably be out sometime next week). Initially I wanted to review only “Assimilation, love and other human oddities”, but so many of the basics of the world are shown in the first book that I decided to review them together.

I actually spent several days thinking about how to structure this review. What you did with Ondry and portrayal of his race in these two books was quite brilliant. I have not read that discussion I just wanted your potential readers to know this bit of information. I know you said that Ondry was born out of discussion about a “perfect dominant” at your group. I know that you always had BDSM as a theme in quite a few of your works and I have read most of what you published, so I know it is not a fashion trend for you and I am grateful for that.

I’ve noticed recently that more and more m/m writers are adding some form of BDSM to their books. Only then can he take possession of a man he has grown to love. They may have laws, culture, and incompatible genitalia in their way, but Ondry knows that he can find a way to overcome all that if he can just overcome the ghosts of Liam’s past. Ondry may not understand humans, but he recognizes a wounded soul, and his need to protect Liam is quickly outpacing his common sense. This fear keeps him from noticing that the Rownt trader Ondry cares for him. Life burned that lesson into his soul from a young age. He won’t risk letting anyone come too close because he won’t risk letting anyone see his deeply submissive nature. Liam loves his life as a linguist and trader on the Rownt homeworld, but he has ignored his heart and sexual needs for years.
