This book was captivating until I realised the happy couple will not be Kendras-Steel but Kendras and someone else. I did not learn to care about the man who would be Kendras happy ending and that cut in half my interest for the rest of the story. 
 But what a story! There was so much testosterone even the eunuch was plenty virile! Violence, cruelty, rape, very rough sex ... People who like tough romance will be well served.
