In a world where a crop mutation has led increased aggression from most of the population, Connor Witt is an anomaly. The effects on him have been the opposite. And he's not alone. He's not just a submissive; he's hard-wired to crave a Master. Which makes the world a dangerous place.

Connor's boss is willing to step in to rescue him. Although David is straight, he will be Connor's Master to keep him out of the hands of more predatory men. But security consultant Emmett Drake doesn't think that's good enough. And he's willing to give Connor exactly what he thinks Connor needs. As the rights of the anomalies are being quickly stripped away, Connor finds himself uncertain of his future--and his present.

This started out kind of interesting. But it didn't take long for it to turn in a direction that completely bothered me. The way Connor is treated by individuals who tell him they care for him is frightening. And to be clear, this isn't just a BDSM relationship. It's made fairly clear that Connor has no choice, that all ability to consent or to walk away is gone. I finished the book, but it left me feeling uncomfortable and unhappy. ( )

The idea of this book is very appealing to me. The two-doms-one-sub relationship is definitely interesting, I would love to read more if the author ever decides to write a sequel. 5 stars for that.
However I find Connor very confusing. One moment he's a bright and intelligent person, the next he's nothing but puppy brains, there is no "in-between", no transformation either.
There are also some minor issues, which I am not going to mention - it might be just me and/or the fact that I had to rush through the book.
3.5 stars and rounding up to 4. Will definitely read another book by Kari Gregg :D ( )

I didn't particularly like this take on mm romance for some reason. ( )

Sci-fi Romance

Connor Witt is the IT direct for Trans-Global and is proving to be an anomaly in a world that has been turned upside down. Mutated crops have stimulated the aggression center in the brain in most people except for a select few such as Conner where instead it has been suppressed. Unsure how to deal with his physical changes and terrified of a world that is changing and growing more predatory, Connor is at a disadvantage and risks harassment and worse until Trans-Global CEO David Martin steps in and takes steps to keep Connor safe by collaring Connor. David’s plan is to keep Connor safe from men that see Connor as sexy prey. Men that see Connor’s submission and are drawn to him because of it and determined to possess him completely.

Emmet Drake is a security consultant that is determined to have Connor as his own. It is just a question of how safe Emmet is.

David can’t be Connor’s master as David is straight but David is determined to find a man that is worthy of Connor and that is willing to court him properly.
