Hot Story on Tropical Planet

Jan Springer's "A Hero's Kiss" is a super hot story full of steamy sex on a tropical planet. Piper Hero is on a mission to find her missing brothers on planet Paradise when she crash lands. She wakes up under the sensual spell of Jarod (quite literally) a former sex slave that has sworn off women. Piper wants to find her brothers with or without Jarod's help. Neither can deny their passion for each other. Jan Springer created an interesting world for Paradise, and also the culture of these sex slaves. I'll have to back up and read others in this series. Deservedly so, "A Hero's Kiss" was chosen as a finalist in the Romance Writers of America's Passionate Ink chapter's Passionate Plume contest in the Futuristic/Fantasy/Sci-fi category.

A Hero's Kiss is very hot!

US Astronaut Piper Hero is on a mission with her sisters to find their missing brothers on planet Paradise when they are separated in a crash-landing. Not remembering what happened to her immediately after the crash, she awakens to the erotic "fever sex dreams", a poisonous effect from the deadly swampwater she ingested. The cure is administered by Jarod Ellis, a former sex slave who has escaped the torture he has suffered at the hands of the women of Paradise. Jarod doesn't believe this woman is a relative of the men he's protecting, and refuses to help her find them. Piper has no idea what has happened to her sisters, but she is determined to find them, as well as her brothers, with or without Jarod's help. But Piper is not accustomed to the laws in Paradise, and doesn't realize the dangers of being out on her own in Death Valley, where women are captured and turned into sex slaves. She needs Jarod's help, and can't deny the incredible attraction she feels towards him. Jarod awakens her deepest desires, and unleashes needs in her she never knew existed. But Piper must find her siblings and isn't about to let anyone or anything stand in her way. She takes off through the swamp, alone, unaware of the dangers surrounding her. A near run-in with the Death Valley boys proves to her what could happen to her if she were captured, and how women are treated as property, not as independent individuals. She's reunited with Jarod, but then later both are caught by the Death Valley Boys, and Jarod must challenge them for Piper and win, or she will be their captive, forced into sexual slavery and not free to find her family. Jarod also risks his own freedom and the possibility of being returned as a male sex slave, a life he wants no part of. Is this fiesty independent woman worth risking it all for? But how can he trust her when all he's ever known is pain and torture from women? Jan Springer writes another heart-pounding erotic story in the Hero series, and writes about some of a woman's most forbidden desires, but never makes them seem crude or shameful. It is HOT, and will leave you breathless on many occasions. Jarod is a very sexy hero with a tormented past, yet hasn't lost his gentle touch or protective instincts in his dealings with women. The idea of being with a man who has been trained in the life of a sex slave and how to make a woman's sexual fantasies come true is an intoxicating image, and will certainly fire up anyone's imagination. While some may be offended by the idea of slavery, and rightfully so, I urge readers to remember this is a work of fiction, and does not condone any forced situations on Piper or Jarod,but is rather used to create an erotic world where not all the slaves feel forced into their roles as captives. I look forward to finding out what happens to Piper's sisters, and hopefully won't have to wait too long.
