The second installment of Tales of the Quiet Kitty is much edgier than the first. Camille Anthony changes from BDSM to male/male fantasies. The captain Brant Sylenus, and navigator Bevel-leveB are very interested in each other, and as brothers-in-law they can be sexually active as their society allows.
Krasn fruit is part of the cargo they smuggle on the Quiet Kitty, and its seeds are a powerful aphrodisiac known as Killing Pleasure. It works on every species and is addictive.
He trades with a species known as the Landresi, but has never before met them face to face. As a result of rudeness on the part of Landresi Ereh, Brant is adopted into their family. Ereh insists it is the only manner to make up for his disrespectful treatment. Brant finds himself manipulated into carrying his new brother Taelen as a passenger on the Quiet Kitty.
Taelen is telepathic, and Brant does not trust him. When Taelen boards the Quiet Kitty, he attacks Willa
from the previous book, leaving her near death.
Camille Anthony has taken the plot into an interesting direction, however, the focus on male/male interaction was unexpected and not something this reader enjoys. It is the hope of this reader that she returns the focus to the relationship between Brant and Willa.
