Fack, I need the sequel to this.

Steamy!

Julie Mannino is quickly becoming one of my favorite erotica authors. From boldly approaching every topic with passion and amazing description to weaving everything together with fantastic stroylines that make you care deeply for the characters and their emotional journeys. As always, definitely reccomend!

I was afraid this would be another fifty shades rip off when I downloaded it (where abuse = love). I was totally wrong, thank god. The love between these two and the kinku relationship was amazing. I'd give it ten stars. Rowan is repressed in both his sexuality and in admitting how much he loves kink. Admitting the kink bit comes easier, but embracing himself as a gay male was harder. Ned was patient with him as they went on, and in his pov, its clear how much he cared for Rowan. I highly recomm...

The relationship between these two was absolutely amazing. I loved that Rowan was basically a pain$little, BUT things were still kept sane and Ned was a good dom.
I don't like books where one character enjoys pain and the dom uses that to do things that are just plain weird or abusive, and aftercare isn't even a thought.

Thrall wasn't like that at all. Ned's care is quite evident in this, and both characters were well fleshed out. I could just imagine Rowan's scowls at times too 🤭

I didn't know what to expect going in as I've never read a MM Romance. Generally, I go to romance for a lot of MF steamy fun but I gave this a shot because it's really the relationships that I love to read about and the growth of love.At first I thought detailing a slave relationship would be off putting but the author gave enough insight into the Master's personality and mind that you could see his love of Dom/Sub, more than slave "ownership". That was important. The paranormal element was snuc...

One of the best I've ever read. Heavy on the sex but it was perfectly weaved into the plot, which was equally heavy, and I love M/M books heavy on the spice. Might read again someday.

This is a powerful and well-written book about slavery and the role of power in a sexual relationship, in this case between a master and his slave, both men. Both are obsessed with sex to some degree so be sure you're ok with that kind of thing. The master works toward better treatment of slaves and elimination of slavery altogether in this world, yet completely enjoys and uses his dominance over the man in his life. It's wild and intense, but it moves along and all ends well.

If you dig m/m you should read it

M/m does nothing for me but that doesn't mean it's not a good read. I like watching authors evolve and improve over time as each story comes out. I dig the concept. Good job.

I was hooked

From the very first page this story drew me in. I loved both main characters, Rowan in particular. It had a very unique story of a man coming to understand his own sexuality as well as two unlikely people falling in love. I'm a sucker for enemies to lovers romance. It has also inspired my own writing. Part way through this story, characters of my own popped into my head. Time to start writing!

Wow, this novel blew my mind. I've read the author's other works in the fantasy genre, but I wasn't expecting an Mm romance novel like this. MM is my favorite, and I blew through it in a night because I couldn't stop reading. I read Loki's Price which seems sort of like a prequal book to me. It explains how Ned came about. In Thrall, now that he's in Gredoria, slavers have been catching tribe members when they can to sell into slavery. It's horrible, because anything can be done to slaves-work, ...
