Blurb/Summary:

Book 4 in the Pleasure Partners series.

Mutilated and exiled from Earth because he helped his brother, former Star Commander Conan finds himself on the Pleasure Planet, Obsidion. Broken and humiliated, he dons the white robe that signifies his new status of complete eunuch—until a famed cyborg and sexbot maker restores his manhood with a large, unique…colorful appendage.

The friends who rescued Conan have found him a mate, Nebula. She, too, knows shame and the pitying stares of others, because she carries the dreaded mutant gene. She was sterilized by order of Earth Federation.

Nebula craves the touch of a real man, but thinks it is forever denied her. Conan is more than ready to satisfy her desires with his new bionic equipment, but he fears rejection. Two damaged people, yearning for what they have lost, seek fulfillment in each other’s arms.

Publisher’s Note: The books in the Pleasure Partners series originally comprised the Luna Ten Chronicles and Obsidion Chronicles series, and were previously published elsewhere. Each story has evolved through extensive lengthening and revision for Ellora’s Cave to make for a consistent and hopefully enjoyable reading experience. This book was previously published under the title Nebula.

Reader Advisory: The residents of this world revel in the public sharing of nudity and sexual acts. There is also a brief, very hot male/male sexual encounter.

Review:

Imperfect Partners by Ann Jacobs gave me the story I’ve been waiting to read since the first three. It’s amazing how imperfections make us doubt the very core of ourselves. I was outraged that a government had the right to emasculate men and strip women of their femininity.

Conan and Nebula deserved to find each other and to find a way to heal from their emotional and physical trauma. I felt they mirrored each other well. Two halves of one soul and their passion and ability to move forward moved me. The bionic equipment was genius as was the creator as well as the hormone patches and Conan’s will to illegally transport them for his mate, so that she may enjoy what’s been denied her. I can’t wait for the next book in this fabulous series built with remarkable and unforgettable characters.

Blurb/Summary:

Book 3 in the Pleasure Partners series.

Doreen needs a mate! She has “killed” another sexbot and the eunuch slaves assigned to serve her don’t provide what she needs. She desperately longs for the touch of a real man. Her very own Master.

Shedir has everything Doreen needs. Though sex with a real woman is forbidden him, this one is ready to be his sexual slave and fulfill his every desire. Doreen is insatiable! Shedir soon becomes obsessed with the incredibly sexy Earthling exile. But he has willingly sacrificed his life to work, gaining power and prestige, his goal to become a ruler in Earth Federation. To have Doreen, he must give up everything.

Can unbound pleasure trump ambition? Shedir thinks not, until he’s faced with the sacrifice he cannot make—his woman, his love.

Publisher’s Note: The books in the Pleasure Partners series originally comprised the Luna Ten and Obsidion series and were previously published elsewhere. They have been substantially revised and lengthened for Ellora’s Cave. This book was previously published under the title Shedir.

Review:

Enslaving the Master Book 3 of the Pleasure Partner Series tickled my funny bone. Not only was Shedir hot, Doreen really needed some sex that wasn’t attached to technology. In this story I could see the frustration the young woman felt when her needs remained unfulfilled and hoped she’d find in the universe a real man to satisfy her on all levels.

Shedir a soldier who took his job seriously couldn’t bend the rules for himself. Denying himself pleasure and the ability to have a mate, he gives his seed to a collection system. I’d hoped he’d find the ways of his superiors not his way to exist and find out what he wanted on his own and make it happen. I enjoyed this story.
