Captured and sold to flesh traders, captain Bea Solomon now finds herself in a brothel that caters to a clientele that revels in abuse and depravities no human being is meant to endure. Arden is Qui and the very embodiment of all that Bea loathes and fears. Despite the less than ideal situation, it’s his task to retrieve Bea and bring her safely to his Empress, where she is to rendezvous with her colleagues before she is to be repatriated back to Earth. Witnessing her reaction to his true shape, he assumes human form to spare her sanity, but soon finds himself trapped in an impossible lie as their mutual attraction becomes too hard to ignore. Little does Bea know the man who allows her to tie him up, who understands her need for total control after her traumatic captivity, is battling a daily war to retain a human form, who denies his inner Qui’s cries for release for her sake only.
Restrain by Treaty is my favorite installment in the Qui universe to date. The lengths Ardent goes to, just to prove his devotion to this broken human female, is unbelievably heartwarming, selfless and sweet. Ardent willingly accepts everything Bea dishes out; her hatred, her sorrow, her revenge and her passion. The scenes involving restraints (both of mind and body) were as fulfilling to me as they were for Ardent and Bea;-) My favorite moment (among many) was definitely their culmination scene. It couldn't have been more perfect.
Aside from the beautiful love story, I also enjoyed the implications that human pheromones seem to attract not only the ruling Qui at a visceral level, but drive their rivals, the Surashan to a mating frenzy as well. Something tells me that the imperial visit to Earth could get very interesting indeed…
I can only fins one fault with this story. And that is: Why on Earth is it not availablw in paperback as well? This book should have been proudly featured on my creme-de-la-creme shelf. One can only hope and pray that it will be available in a paperback anthology with the other Qui treaty novellas as soon as the stories have all been published!
Frankly there aren't enough stars in the Milk Way to describe how much I loved Ardent. So get ready to swoon, people!
