BOOK BLURB:
The world is in ruins, society divided into those who protect and those who need protection. That protection comes at a price, one that Jiri discovers when he's sold to Zane, leader of the Death Dealers.

He's shocked when Zane explains he wants Jiri as his own personal sex pet. But Jiri can't deny he's intrigued by Zane's proposal.

He wears the collar and leash Zane provides and prepares himself to be a possession. But the more he gets to know Zane, the more Jiri wants something more. He wants Zane to want him for him, and not just as a pet. But before Jiri can convince Zane of his desire, an attack comes from The Night Dwellers, one that could destroy them both.

BOOK REVIEW:
Jiri is working as a mechanic after a virus nearly wiped out most of humanity. Strength is the ruler of all. The strong rule and the weak are ruled. Jiri is ruled by Larry, his stepfather, who uses him as basic slave labor until Larry crosses someone stronger than he is. Zane is a biker gang leader. The strongest of the strong in the area. He takes one look at Jiri and makes a deal to buy him for his own.

Jiri is pretty sheltered and doesn’t understand all that being owned by Zane will entail but he leaves the only thing he has known and does his best to figure it out.

As a pet, Jiri finds he has only one duty. Satisfy his master. Early in their acquaintance deadly power struggles, misunderstandings and communication problems create barriers to the complete connection between the two. As they both work their way through the minefield that is a relationship, they come to understand each other and their positions much better. They can see strength and weakness are a matter of perception.

I enjoyed this story. I expected the D/s to be stronger and I think the book could have supported it. The overall feel was supposed to be more of an apocalyptic society where danger and power struggles are a constant threat. In this it started off pretty strong but backed off before it became really intense. Friendships and relationships along with the general well being of those under Zane’s rule mitigated some of the factors that I had expected.

I liked Jiri and Zane. I wanted them to work it out and be happy and that is what I got.
