Torc is wanted by the Rendorians, the universal police force, for escaping a level ten prison. Since he’d rather die than go back, he intends to steal a Delicant from the Flatland sheik. With the money he’d get from the sale, he’d have enough to set himself up in paradise for a lifetime. As soon as he lays eyes on Ailyea, her beauty mesmerizes him because he’s never seen a flesh and blood woman before. Even if it were his place to touch her, which it was not, he wouldn’t know how. One thing he does know is that she needs to learn free will and he can teach it to her.
Ailyea Meegan has gone from one Master to another, to the point that she’s lost count as well as hope. Her only goal is to avoid displeasing her Master and therefore avoid pain. When her new Master doesn’t want her to provide him with pleasure, she’s unsure of what to do. Never had she had a Master that asked instead of commanded and could arouse her with a simple touch and leave her burning for completion. Torc’s Salvation offers a lot of insight into the world of Domination and submission along with a healthy dose of humor and scorching love scenes. The coupling of a female submissive and a Dominant male that’s never known the touch of a woman is very sexy and highly erotic. My emotions ran the entire gamut while reading Torc’s Salvation. I felt everything from happiness to despair, arousal and elation, to most importantly, the deep connection between Ailyea and Torc. As Ailyea searches for the meaning of free will and Torc struggles with his desire for something he believes that he doesn’t deserve, I fell in love with these two characters and cherished the many dynamics of their relationship. Ailyea’s transformation was amazing and Torc’s dedication to her, devastating in its beauty. Melany Logen is a wonderfully talented writing team. Even though this was a full-length novel, I never wanted it to end! With scenes that will make you laugh, make you cry, and have your pulse racing (from suspense and action or erotic play), Torc’s Salvation has definitely earned a place on my Keeper shelf! I very anxiously await the next two books in the Soul Shifter series, Law’s Deliverance and Kyrand’s Reward!
