Marina is a cop, an intergalactic investigator who is the best in the business. She is assigned to solve a case involving the kidnapping of Earth women, several of whom have been seen on the BDSM planet Xarta as submissive slaves. In order to solve the case, she is to go undercover in the local bondage clubs, aiming to be kidnapped and taken to Xarta. There, she will work with Kaden, a Xartan Intergalactic Marshall. Marina must play the submissive to Kaden’s Dom, a role that is against her aggressive nature. How will she maintain the subterfuge for as long as it takes them to break the intergalactic kidnapping ring?

This novella is the 1st book in the Chains of Love series. The plot is set up very believably as a crime investigation (although I’m kind of surprised at the number of planets in the galaxy where BDSM seems to be the preferred style of sexual relationship). The pacing of the story is good, and the characters are developed realistically. The story is extremely sexually explicit, containing scenes of bondage and Dominance/submission, oral sex, anal sex, the use of sex toys, voyeurism, and light erotic scenes where females explore their sexuality with other females. I enjoyed the novella as a fast, light read. Warning: Be sure to have a cooling drink nearby while you are reading this story, because you will become overheated!
