Find out in Freeing the Prisoner....

Kyron is a Touch Kindred, able to physically touch others with the power of his mind and Touch sense, but he has sworn a solemn vow to use his power only for good. When he is captured and held prisoner on the small planet of Goshan Prime, his resolve is sorely tested. He's beaten, starved, and kept constantly chained. There's only one bright spot — a girl who slips into his cell because she's curious.

Dannella is a Princess of the Blood. Raised to be a proper lady, she knows that one day she will be given in marriage to a male who will act as both her husband and owner. Females aren't valued in Goshan society and she has little control over her own life. Despite her restrictive upbringing, Dani rebels and finds her way into the cell occupied by the strange new warrior, a Kindred so huge he dwarfs every other male she's ever known.

Kyron shows her his Touch sense and gives her pleasure she's never dreamed of, even though he is chained in his cell. Dani finds herself falling for the big Kindred but then the unthinkable happens — a marriage is announced and time has suddenly grown short. Now she and Ky are one the run, trying to escape from a life which has become a prison for them both. But in order to gain their freedom, Ky must break his sacred oath. Will it cost him his love and his life?

Reviews for Freeing the Prisoner

[Bill Hair · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

This will be a harsh review due to the pet name used by the H well over 100 times in this story... Creepy ?.

Is this a multi-part story? Yes
Does it end in a cliffhanger? No
Genre(s) : SciFi Romance
Instalove? Yup
Was cheating involved? No
Any major triggers to be aware of? The awful pet name said over 100 times... "Little Girl"! Creepy AF!

One line towards the end... "Spread your legs for me, little girl"! or "That doesn't mean that I won't like your p#ssy, little girl.... or look at your hot clit, little girl. Really... Pedophile lines and all within a few minutes.
Evangeline... PLEASE HAVE THE PET NAME CHANGED FROM LITTLE GIRL TO ANYTHING ELSE THAT ISN'T A REFERENCE THAT CAN BE CONSTRUED AS PEDOPHILIA!

1.75 Stars for me!
My rating range of this story... 1 - 3.5 Stars
If significant, why? Little Girl
Biggest deduction? 2 Stars - Little Girl

Main Character Ratings...
H (Kyron) = 5/10 (lost 3 Stars for the pet name

If yes, explained

Heat Rating... 7/10
Clean or Fade to Black - 1 or 2
Normal to Descriptive 3-5
Detailed Descriptive Sex - 6-7
Um, Wow, Beyond Descriptive Sex - 8 or above

Was there so much sex or unrealistic sex that you rolled your eyes and/or skipped forward? Yup

The back story... The H is taken prisoner after landing on a planet in search of dangerous and aggressive alien race. The h is defiant and upset that she is disregarded because she is a female so she uses secret passeges in their castle to go places she is not allowed to. She finds the H magnetically shackled and being treated badly. She eventually helps him escape and the story gets underway.

Romance or Gist: The h, like most so far in the series is very naive yet falls for the H. His touch power is only to be used to pleasing his female (which is really stupid as he suffered immensely because he refused to use it. He then goes extremely angst when he does use it). He does use it on the h to her extreme enjoyment (of course, with her consent).

The drama explosion... The h is kidnapped by the evil villain followed by the H going stupidly sullen about the use of his power to protect.
Did it feel Real, OK or contrived? Contrived
Was it OTT? Very
Separation involved? Yup
Was it resolved properly or rushed? Properly

Final Notes... This is a fun and sex-filled series featuring overly-sappy H's, extreme angst and internal monologs and child-like naive h's.

I think that the author should allow the H's to have a slight bit of an alpha streak (not obnoxious or man-whorish) and the h's to be a bit more knowledgeable and strong.

The h in this story started out strong but started to wilt.

I also wish, but as I read a later story first I know that it doesn't happen, that the author would not focus on her plus sized h's paired up with perfect, super strong, the most handsome, overly-caring perfect H's! I am happy to see more authors focusing on H's that are more realistic but the H's are still beyond unrealistic.

HEA or HFN? HEA

I enjoyed it, but cringe at his pet name for her.

[Daniel W · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Great romance story about falling in love. EA’s men really know how to treat their women!

Dani is a princess that will never inherit her fathers throne because she is female. She sneaks in to visit a prisoner and finds herself attracted to him. Making it off the planet alive is a concern.

[Brown · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I really enjoyed this story. it was so sweet and tender and a true romance with hot sexy bits. so far, I'm enjoying this series.
