She is the ultimate
warrior of her generation, the savior of
Earth and very few know the price she has paid to serve her world and
her
people. General Thalassic Harmon has never been the warm, comforting
mother
that her daughters might've wished for--or that she wished she could be.
But one man knows her
secrets. Darvic Gunderssen, her
consort, and father of her famous daughter, Colonel Martini Harmon. He
knows
Thalassic better than she knows herself, the woman behind the warrior.
He knows
that side of her that so desperately need to be absolved of the burdens
she
shoulders on a daily basis, the need to submit and be given permission
to feel,
to grieve. Darvic knows what she needs, and while she's in control
outside the
bedroom, he's in control inside...
An interlude in the Women
of Steel series, Ms. Anthony introduces the reader to the mother of
her two
heroines, Martini and Daiquiri Harmon. Thalassic and Darvic are two
well-matched
individuals that counter-balance one another in many ways.
Talli takes care of the
world and Darvic takes care of her.
While consensual, their relationship is a dynamic that allows her to be
what
the world demands of her, but behind closed doors the role reversal is
a state
of white-hot passion between two people who can’t otherwise be content.
Ms.
Anthony shows the complex and many faceted
relationships that can exist between Doms and subs either being lesser
for it,
while revealing the electrifying sparks of passion that walk the fine
line
between pleasure and pain. For some it is both, Thalasic and Darvic
become an
unforgettable addition to her Women of
Steel series. This reviewer eagerly awaits their return to the
printed
page. Keep your iced tea and handcuffs handy…
