4 Stars just because I was so glad to finally get to finish this story!!! Book reader crashed...3 days and 2 countries later and I was reading again...then 15 hour road trip to get our grandson....reader screen went down....but last evening after company left our cook-out I got to lay down and read!!!!! Sorry for the rant!!! Now about the story...ugh to much torture once again and not enough story...but the last 25% of the story made it all worth while and I am now ready to move on to book three! After I finish the drywall in the bedroom in the basement...of course! Oh joy!!! 4.5 stars rounded up.In regards to the BDSM and menage tags: I loved this book. I'm not quite sure why anyone would put BDSM on this. The only "BDSM" was done by an asshole slave master who just wanted to torture the other guy. It was like any other slave gets beaten up but they went to a BDSM store to find interesting implements. There was nothing remotely sexual about it. So if you are concerned about BDSM, don't be. There is no consensual BDSM play in the book. Well, there was one time when one guy's wrists were secured with scarves while he was being penetrated and that was consensual. I don't think of that as BDSM, though. There are menage scenes in that one person is forced to watch the scene I just mentioned and then he is forced to do the tied guy, too, while the other watches. Then one guy offers a few times, but they never take him up on it. Three do sleep in a bed together once when they're scared and freaked out, but again, nothing sexual about it. The romance is between Trystan and Uriskel and there is never anyone invited to their bed nor BDSM between them. Everything else is dubcon.Anyway, lots of action, lots of emotion, interesting characters who aren't all black and white, lots of peril (omigod don't let him die! type stuff), interesting premise and plot, although the ending kind of seemed obvious to me. I liked Uriskel in the last book. I loved him in this. Trystan was fine in the last book as a minor character, I loved him in this. I just love this series.
What do You think about Heartsong (2010)?
This book was kinda hard to read. It was basically sex and abuse.
