Interspecies Master/slave love story

Shocking only got you immediate obedience, not devotion, not willing submission

This is the story that never was, but could have been. There was a really cool premise to this that made me excited and really looking forward to the story, but after the first 10% it just stopped. The plot was abandoned for an unrelenting sexathon were Tigre's training to be devoted and submissive to Palin after abusive training upbringing was center stage. It was fine and emotional. Yet, I feel like a beautiful promise was abandoned. 

Seriously, Palin is an information broker that can mine data from others by consciousness jumping from a known contact. He gets paid well, but as you can imagine not everyone is thrilled with his abilities or profession. Suspicion is rampant. Loneliness guaranteed. Danger omnipresent. I still want to read THIS story. The one that plays off all this cool shit. 

It's a Sean Michael book so the sex was erotic. Between the whipping, bathing, sounding and fisting there was a smorgasbord of goodies and Eiba and Tigre were trademark SM with the "Mine", "Yours", and "Need". Usually, I'm all up for that and don't mind the plot being missing, but here, because there was the seed of a really fun idea planted, I wanted the story. I really wanted them to stop fucking around and get somewhere with all the cool unrealized potential. *Sigh*

Overall, PWP that could have been so much more.

Pleasure and need were offered up without question, Tigre's obedience complete.
