There were several times throughout this series when I wondered if perhaps the real Master wasn’t Tam. He is beautiful, delicate, perfectly submissive and whimpers like a child when needy, but don’t ever make the mistake of thinking he’s weak or fragile. I’ve found it interesting that on social media, most people seem to gravitate toward Kai. The Slave is written from Tam’s POV and, while it’s hard to pick “a favorite” here, if I absolutely HAD to pick, Tam would be my choice. (I even read the first two chapters to my husband – that’s how impressed I was at how beautifully Kate used words to create a vision.)Įach book is written from that character’s POV. Since I’m certain anyone who picks up The Slave will be captivated from the very first page – just like I was – and I’m also certain no one will stop after reading until they’ve read all three, I think I can get away with it.įrom the moment I began reading The Slave by Kate Aaron, I was sucked into a world built entirely from her brilliant mind, but because of her amazing writing ability, I could see and hear and smell that world as surely as if I lived there. I don’t feel the need to recap because I’m a little late to the party and plenty of blog sites and reviewers before me have given plot breakdowns for each book.

I’m going to cheat a bit and write one review for all three books in this series. nobody can be in love with two people at once, can they? Seducing Kai has suddenly become more challenge than chore, and with his master’s encouragement, Tam finds himself falling for his new companion. But it’s hard to hate a man who cries himself to sleep, flinches at the slightest touch, and blushes beautifully when he’s kissed. For being his eventual replacement in their master’s bed. For being of the same race as the men who murdered his family. He wants to hate Kai for being unruly and ungrateful.

Then Tam is ordered to purchase another slave. For six glorious months, he and his master get to be together. Tam's dreams come true when his mistress walks out, leaving her husband behind. Naturally submissive, although with a petulant streak, he can’t help but fall in love with the master who treats him kindly. At twenty-seven, Tamelik has been a slave more than half his life, having witnessed his family being murdered in front of him when he was just a child.
