Haven is a Master of the Order of the Light--a revered sect of mediators and healers that roam the galaxy righting wrongs.

I had seen it many times, and bypassed it because I thought it was going have hardcore BDSM, abuse and they would have multiple partners...I was wrong...VERY WRONG.

First let me say that this is truly a story of two people who are not only friends, but have a very deep affection and admiration for one another. Never once did I doubt their feelings for one another, even when it was put to the test, it was very obvious that they hold one another in very high esteem and truly love each other.

Haven is a mediator and healer. He belongs to a select group called Master of the Order of the Light. His job is to right wrongs, and to bring peace to civilizations that have a conflict or at war with one another. Ten years ago, as he was about to leave Rigel Six, he spots a young boy chained and has been neglected and abused. Have soon comes to the realization the boy has been used, and will be obviously sold as a prosititute to the highest bidder. Enraged by the obvious mistreatment of the youngster he buys the boy outright. They immediately have an emotional connection. Haven names the boy Wren (he didn't have a name. You'll understand where he gets the name Wren when you read the book) and takes him to his home planet and becomes his mentor.

Wren has been in love with Haven since the moment he laid eyes on him. Haven not only saved him from a life of sexual abuse and neglect he has educated Wren, he has shown him kindness and affection that any father would show his son. This is foreign to Wren at first, but he thives on the guidance and attention he receives from Haven. As the years go by and Wren becomes a man, both Haven and Wren struggle with not only their love for one another, but their budding sexual attraction to each other. But, ANY kind of sexual touching is forbidden between a mentor and his apprentice. If they give into their feelings and desires for one another, they will be separated, and neither Wren of Have are willing to risk that.

When they are sent to mediate a conflict between two civilizations almost at war, they are forced to participate in some of the customs, or they will insult their host, and lives will be lost. This means that Wren must act as Haven's pleasure slave. Haven does everything in his power to talk Wren out of it. He is afraid this will bring back unhappy memories of sexual abuse Wren endured as a child. Wren on the other hand, knows that Haven would never hurt him, and craves for his touch. If being forced to be a pleasure slave is the only way Haven and he can be together, than Wren is willing to take that chance.

I loved Haven and Wren. I cannot say enough about these two characters. They literally grabbed my heartstrings and didn't let go until the last letter on the last page. This book will definately be a re-read for me, and have a place on my keeper shelf. In my opinion, the storyline was interesting, but the characters itself is what makes this book very special.

I do want to give a word of warning...There ARE some BDSM roleplay, voyuerism and public sex in this book. If this is offensive to you, this is not the book for you. Poor Wren had endured much sexual abuse before he met Haven, but he overcomes it. If this bothers you, you might want to rethink reading it also. There are no sexual abuse scenes with Wren as a child, but the emotional turmoil he goes through can pack quite a punch. So know that in advance before reading this book.

Honestly, the love between them made the things they had to endure to keep peace between the fighting civilizations , okay because they truly felt love and affection to one another, and it wasn't just two people seeking to hurt or humiliate the other person. They truly belonged together... That made this book different for me, and I loved it.

I enjoyed the sci-fi world created, and she does offer up some really vile and strange creatures in this one, but with that said this book lacked originality when it came to characters. Its like I have seen them before, just with different names and I liked them a lot more.

Haven is a Master of The order of light, they are healers and they go around making wrongs right, so we could call them the galaxies peace keepers. While on a mission Haven runs into a small slave boy owned and sold to men for the use of his mouth and soon because he is of age other things. This small boy captures Haven's heart and he also carries the light within him, because this boy has the power to heal. Haven knows he has to free the boy and take him back to the order. With a little buy and sell Havan gets the boy who he calls Wren.

It is now Haven's job to be mentor to Wren, after ten years of being together there bond is stronger than ever. Well it seems both men want a little more to their relastionship, but anything sexual is forbidden in Light culture between a master and his trainee. That was until they were called to help with keeping a planet from being blown up.

To stay on the Tiberion war ship, calls for a sex slave. All the things Haven knows he should not feel start bubbling up, and to save a planet they will go where there is no turning back. Basically, they want to have sex but know they shouldn't but it will be the very thing that saves the lives of many.

It is just too much, when characters are forced to have sex. They never just come together on their own, they had to play a little game of Pain or Pleasure. That is why I said typical Anderson style. I just cannot understand why people don't just have sex for sex sakes, in this Wren and Haven's first time together their was an audience, and some form of pain was involved. If this is a trend of the authors, its gonna get old real fast!!

With that said, I liked it there was D/s element to it, and that is right up my ally. Plus the Tiberions were really nasty and made my skin crawl, and I liked it.(less)

D'lon Haven is a Light Bringer. As much as I could gather, a sort of spiritual warrior. Using the Light to fight with if needed but mostly to heal with and comfort himself.

Haven saves Wren from a life of sexual slavery on the planet Rigel Six when he sees Wren heal a bird using the Light from within himself. A rare gift.

Wren knows that from the moment he saw his Master that his heart belonged to him. He longs to give him his mind, soul and body as well. But the Council ...more

Full disclosure: I'm a big fan of m/m and f/f slash fiction, and I've read a lot of it over the years. And what I expect from it is not that it is some great literature that reveals something about the human soul or whatever - I want some nice romance, and it can be cheesy and there better be some cliché involved (memory loss! accidental marriage! they have to pretend they're a couple! etc.). Of course, I don't mind some hot sex scenes, but they're an added bonus mostly.

So when "Slave Boy" was recommended to me it wasn't entirely unreasonable that I should like it. Slash with a mix of D/s - something I really liked in the Administration series - and the book wasn't that expensive, so I thought I'd give it a try.

I wish I wouldn't have. This book is so unbelievably bad words almost fail me. Please, bear in mind that I expected it to be cheesy and all that. But I also expected the main characters to behave somewhat like actual people might.

In the beginning, we're introduced to the two main characters - two men who are part of an interstellar religious organization/ corps called the Order of Light. One is the master and the other his pupil, although the pupil is almost old enough to become a master himself. The master is a large man while his pupil is smaller. The pupil also has short spiky blond hair. They have this intense mind-bond that allows them to talk telepathically when they choose to. And each of them is secretly in love with the other but doesn't tell the other one because that kind of relationship is forbidden by their order. They're on their way to a summit where they have to convince some alien race not to annihilate another alien race. For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, the pupil has to pretend he's his master's sex slave in order not to offend the alien bad guys. Sound familiar? Yeah, I know, it's just about every. damn.Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon fanfic ever written.

Again - the setting, the characters, the plot - no matter how contrived or cheesy or ridiculous all this sounds, I do like that sort of thing, and I've read some great stories using something similar like that. This book, however, wasn't one of them.

Basically, this book is like really bad porn. The "plot" is just an excuse to get the characters to fuck, or rather, like in one notable example which I WISH I COULD UNREAD DEAR GODS PLEASE, almost-fuck. Again, it's not like that isn't the case in 95% of all fanfic I've read, but in this case it's so badly done and none of it makes sense. Apart from the fact that I doubt there is an alien race that requires people to fuck each other in front of the king as a tribute (if there is, I don't want to know) my main problem was with the main characters who act like they're completely insane. Nevermind that the whole (main) story takes place over a time-period of about two days while their relationship progresses at a really unnatural pace, the most ridiculous thing is the non-stop internal WHINING of these two supposedly grown men who fight for the good of the universe (I fear for the universe).

Basically every interaction they have is along the following lines: they're in a situation that requires them to be intimate in some way or the other. So each of them thinks, "OMG I want him so badly, but no, it's wrong, I shouldn't, he doesn't like me that way, I can't, but I have to, oh no, look what I'm doing!" And then their mind-link starts working and they start telling each other stuff like "I want to fuck you so hard, please Master fuck me lalalala NO ONE TALKS LIKE THAT WHEN THEY THINK THE OTHER PERSON DOESN'T WANT THEM. PLEASE." And then they start whining again. And the dirty talk is so horrible, and the sex isn't hot and their relationship is supercreepy, because the only way a D/s relationship works for me is when they are actually equals. This is just icky and what I think the author believes is romantic is disturbing and ridiculous and about as "sweet" as Edward and Bella's wonderful love. UGH.

Another thing that bugged me was that the whole thing was very similar to another of Anderson's books I've read - the "Assignment" has some situations that are almost identical, and even though there the relationship at least wasn't quite as disturbing, I found that annoying.

So yeah. I'd apologize for the rant, but I think I deserve it after reading the whole damn thing. (Which I only did because I was on the bus and then there were only a couple of pages left over, and what would have been the point of stopping there?)(less)

Completely suspend your disbelief and this is an entertaining story. Evangeline Anderson has a way of making sex a matter of life or death. In Slave Boy, a blow job brought Wren back from the brink of death. I was just thinking, if a blow job has healing properties my DH may be immortal. Just a thought.

This is not one however that you want to look to closely at--it's end is convenient--believable but convenient. Evangeline Anderson uses the foil of a Master Bringer of Light (Haven) and his relationship to his novice (Wren) to explore the bigotry that exists in our modern day--male/male relationships--and the loving relationships between two men. Wren is rescued at a very young age by Haven. Prior to that Wren is used as a slave boy--though still a virgin, he has been abused, collared and made to "service" various men. Haven sees the boy and recognizes the "light" within him. He purchases the boy and their relationship begins. As the years progress, Wren falls deeply in love with Haven, and Haven, himself fights against his growing attraction. They are sent on a mission to save a planet from destruction at the hands of a barbaric race--whose idea of obeisance to their emperor is displays of violent, demeaning sexual acts between masters and their slaves. It is into these roles that Haven and Wren find themselves forced to complete the peace making process.

And it is here in the story that I would give you one of my two warnings--there is fairly graphic content that includes dubious consent, torture and non-consensual acts. So graphic that it made me squirm on occasion. And that leads me to the second warning, there is definitely explicit descriptions of girlie parts and some depiction of the m/f sex act--while brief--it is there and so those looking for strictly m/m interactions will be disappointed.

Despite these elements, the story was sweet--there is a real sense of loyalty and a deep loving bond between Haven and Wren. While the ending is convenient, it was not beyond belief so I was actually fine with the result. Overall, the book is a good read. Even though there are elements that may disturb some, Anderson is a good writer, who handles her storyline and her characters with a deft and practiced hand--she remains, for me, an enjoyable author to read.(less)

But my expectations were set too high. Overall, it was an okay book. It was surprising to have the sci-fi/fantasy/space aspect.

Blah blah everybody loves each other but is too tormented to reveal it blah blah afraid of the Council blah blah hiding things from each other in their mind link blah blah seriously they have to pretend to be in a sexual master/slave relationship or the emperor of this one planet will totally blow up another planet. It's awesome.

And because it's from an erotic publisher, you get things like how the proper homage to the emperor is your cum to attain orgasm in his presence. And there's lovingly described magic advanced alien technology cock rings, and slaves have to wear tails up their ass to show proper respect (??? - my favorite was the description of the slave with the peacock feathers tail that made our padawan novice a little envious, his tail being far more simple), and then OMG THERE IS SEX POLLEN.

Okay. Is it just me, or if I am a Jedi Knight, er, Guardian of the Light or whatever, and I'm there on a special mission to keep an emperor from blowing up a planet because that planet's diplomats a) were vegetarian and 2) refused to have sex slaves/brand their servants posing as sex slaves/AS-YET UNREVEALED PLOT POINT GOES HERE OMG COULD THERE BE TREACHERY INVOLVED??, I think I would be paying special attention to the correct ration of red goo to blue goo that I'm supposed to be inserting into the bodily orifices of my padawan learner novice learner that I totally have the hots for? One part red to three parts blue, not the other way around! C'mon! Symbology! Etc!

Well… in short: Star Wars fanfic with disturbing tendencies.

The longer version: After reading the two books and two shorts in her Assignment series, I came to the following conclusion: Evangeline Anderson writes smut. So if you’re looking for in dept, character driven stories with a good plot and lots of romance: she’s not for you.
However, if you like books in where the stories serve the sex, the sex is kinda raunchy and the dirty talk is abundant: she’s your gal.

The characters have no real desire to interact in such a way, but as they have to obey to the social conventions of a planet they are trying to bring into a peace negotiation they don’t have much choice.

The characters have no real desire to interact in such a way, but as they have to obey to the social conventions of a planet they are trying to bring into a peace negotiation they don’t have much choice. Nice setup I guess, but it also means that there’s no real joy in it…everything is just for show and everything comes with a strain on the characters’ consciences. Not that much fun.

Haven is a Master of the Order of Light, an order that has as its purpose to keep intergalactic peace in the universe. During his very first mission Haven rescued a little slave boy from a future of continued sexual abuse. He saw that the boy had the power of light in him and brought him back with him to make the boy a student at the order. Now ten years have passed and the boy, Wren, is a fully grown man who has become an apprentice under Haven. They have been together for four years, but lately Haven has felt a need to distance himself from Wren because of the impure thoughts he has started to have towards the man. Wren battles the same emotions, the order specifically forbids physical relations between master and apprentice, but as Haven has distanced himself more and more Wren’s physical needs are no longer placated by platonic closeness and so his urges have grown more and more acute. On this mission Haven has to bring with him a pleasure slave to not offend the negotiating planet’s ruler, Wren has agreed to play the role…neither of the men know what to do if they actually have to act upon their roles. Their forbidden love may just have to come out of hiding…

The sci-fi aspect of the story works pretty well for me, the planet they are visiting is obnoxiously decadent and the order is painstakingly puritan in contrast, but that is all credible. The actual issues I had were more in terms of my own personal taste. I didn’t feel any joy when I read this, there was this constant friction there instead keeping the characters from being pleased or happy…and that was never really dealt with. Sure it was all resolved in the end…but not to my satisfaction. There was no scene in which the characters could really and truly live out their love for each other, there was always something else pending on the success of their togetherness and so they never got to experience the joy of being together just for the pleasure of it. I missed a scene like that a lot.

The BDSM is mostly represented in the relations surrounding Master and Apprentice, sure they are decked out in gear and have to play their roles from time to time but there are no real “scenes” between them. Instead most of the bondage and domination takes place in front of their eyes…and even then it’s not that advanced.

There were just a few too many missing pieces for me to fully enjoy this book, but it was different and pretty well written.

During one of these travels he finds a young boy, barely 12 years old, who is taken as a sex slave by a slave trader and who will be soon sold to a customer. Seeing in the boy the same healing powers he has, Haven buys the boy and brings him back to his home planet. The boy, named Wren, is raised to be a diplomat himself, and when he is 18 years old he is given as novice to Master Haven. Four years later, Haven is in a diplomatic mission in a foreign planet who requires that every adult man is accompanying by a sex slave. Obviously Wren offers himself to play the role, but nor him or Haven could image what they will have to do: public sex is saw as a tribute and Haven finds himself in front of an hard decision: fully take his novice or let someone else doing the job...

Almost all the book is spent waiting for the defloration of Wren and actually sometime I feel sorry for poor Haven who is always under temptation. Also before their compelled intimacy in a foreign country, Haven was starting to feel something more for Wren than the natural affection of a Master for his novice, and Wren was not helping on it, since he is in love with Haven since the man saved him ten years before. In Haven's planet, sexual release is not allowed and above all not with a novice, so Haven knows that, if he gives up to temptation, he will lose Wren forever.

Haven is a stoic character, actually he has not a dominant nature: he has a good heart, but all in all he is taken around by Wren almost like he has a leash around the neck and not Wren. Wren is a smart guy: in a way or another he manages to obtain what he wants, and after all I don't think he would be a good diplomat like Haven: I can't imagine him living a total chaste life!

A good sci-fiction romance, with a good weight on the romance side and a little less on the sci-fic one: also the adventurous sub plot and the villain are not so scary after all, and their elimination is quite immediate. All the book is centered on Haven and Wren, and on their budding relationship, better on their "evolving" relationship, from Master and novice, to lovers.

3.5 stars rounded up. I’m kind of torn over this story. I loved the characters and the bond between them. I hated the setting they were placed in – forced sexual pleasures, humiliation, and slavery. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a good dubcon/noncon story, but these characters seemed too nice to be placed in that setting and have their first forays into a romantic and sexual relationship be sullied in that way; and yet, it’s possible that without the nature of the conflict they faced, their re...more

Although this book is very interesting, for anyone who has been or still is a Star Wars fan, it is a little to close to home. When I purchased this book I thought it was going to be a tenses and gripping read. Now, maybe I have read to much of this stuff and have become used to it, but the plot seemed a little predictable. At any rate this did not stop the book from being enjoyable and I hope others will continue to find so as well.

Ok, ignore the cover which to me looks like a 12 year old. It's actually a story between a 32 and 22 year old couple. Story takes place in a futuristic/sci fi world involing Haven, a mediator, and his novice in training, Wren, who Haven had rescued when he was 12 from being a slave. The first half of the book is lighter than it's title suggests with a very playful Wren trying to get Haven to give in to their desires. Wren is having a hard time hiding his growing feelings from Haven and is being...more

I've read my share of ~homoerotic fiction~ and I knew not to expect the best book ever, but I expected ... something. A plot that's better than a crappy porn plot and doesn't make you bang your head against the nearest wall after every page. Characters you don't want to kill after 5 seconds. Sex scenes that are, you know, ...hot.

This may be the worst book I've ever read. Seriously.

Shelves: bingo-challenge, mm, kindle-lendable

This is more like 2 1/2 stars. I will start off my saying that I am not a huge fan of fantasy stuff to begin with. This started out as a potentially cute story, but there were a few things that were happening consistently enough to change that for me. Things were being repeated so many times that I found myself growling at my Kindle that “I get it already! Move on with the story!” and “If I hear that word one more time (*cough* rosebud *cough*), I will scream!” Often times, it mixed cutesy w...more

I don't know if its just me that thinks this but Anderson's books all have very very similar endings, like there always left with the same ultimatum and i think it kinda spoils the book.

It was just bizare and really funny and i don't know if it was meant to be because it was just odd but it wasn't bad it was quite a good read just don't expect much of it to make sense.
