Sons of Tallav #1
Shane: Marshal of Tallav
Shane Tiernan, the Beast of Tallavan aristocratic society, needs relief from the matriarchal rules that are destroying his life. His hope lies in a female submissive, newly graduated from a top sex school. From her resume, she seems perfect. But profile and real life collide when he arrives to collect her. He’s stunned when he spots her vaulting over a bar and snatching up an ice chipper to defend herself against the giant who is chasing her. Her combination of warrior spirit and long-limbed curves fires his Dom imagination and the desire to bind her in his rope and have her under his complete control.
Adrianna Pacquin is sexually submissive, but don’t cross her outside the bedroom. She escaped the crime lord who plans to marry her once before. When it becomes clear he’s still after her, she doesn’t intend to get caught. A fortuitous decision to accept the contract of Tallavan Marshal Shane Tiernan promises safety until an attempt to murder him sets the pair on an investigation that will require complete trust in one another. With danger stalking their every step, the secrets they both hide could implode their blooming relationship and leave them exposed to their relentless foe.

Although I enjoyed reading this, there were some quirks that threw me off. I really liked the BDSM aspect of it but it was a lot more tame than I was expecting it to be. The different worlds and their dynamics were pretty interesting to read about.

I'm not sure why this book is listed as book one in the series. The events in this book take place after book two, Maon: Marshal of Tallav, and the couple from book two, their family, and a little of their history, are covered in this book. I read book two first, thankfully, and it was better than this one.
In Shane: Marshal of Tallav, the heroine graduates from a school of pleasure and is under contract to Shane as a sexual submissive, while also doubling as his assistant. She goes by four different names: Ms. Pacquin=Assistant, Adrianna=submissive for hire, Dria=friend/personal address, and Pet=undercover alias. If you are reading this as a first in the series, you probably won't understand why she needs to be other than a submissive for hire (thankfully, I read book two first). Still, it felt convoluted and redundant to the plot.
While I understood Shane and connected a bit with him, I wasn't crazy about either him or Adrianna and didn't feel any chemistry between the characters. The sex felt rather superficial, and the reason given for the "undercover" public play scenes didn't make much sense at all in the grand scheme of the plot. In the end, it all added up to a book that didn't work for me.

I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.
This author creates new worlds in this book. Shane is Marshal from the world of Tallav, where the women rule with an iron fist. Men have few options when it comes to careers, its the Marshals, be a stay at home father, or live off world. Marriages must be sanctioned by the matriarch and only female heirs can inherit.
Shane has chosen the Marshals, content to be the second son of a strong willed and influential mother. He's had adventures and has learned and explored the erotic pleasures of BDSM. His friend, Maon has encouraged him to seek out an assistant from the Opio Institute, where people are trained to embrace either their dominant or submissive sides.
Adrianna fled her home world after the death of parents and away from the powerful Benefactor that rules her planet. Seeking solace at the Opio Institute, she found herself, her true self and the power of being submissive gives her.
Through the book we are treated to wonderful vistas of new worlds and their cultures and how both Adrianna and Shane must make sacrifices if either want to be happy. The true depth of Shane's attachment to Adrianna becomes apparent late in the book and he's forced to make a choice.

I wrote a long review for this which Goodreads decided not to save. Very frustrating.
In short, this was super enjoyable. I really liked Shane and Adrianna as a couple and the world seemed pretty cool if not very fleshed out.
Shane was the strong alpha type while still being caring, definite points there. Adrianna was sweet yet smart. Together their dynamic was really enjoyable to read.
3.5 stars

Uncaged Book Reviews:
Considering I don’t normally read erotica due to the flimsy plots and sex scenes which have no real purpose other than to titillate the reader, these books are totally different. They have a great plot and the scenes are woven into the plot showing who the men and women are. They may be titillating but are part of the characters. Cailin Briste, the author, transports you to a different world with different values while you get wrapped up in the cases the marshals are working and their love lives.
I give these books five stars for great writing, good editing and stories you want to read again to make sure you didn’t miss some subtle clue along the way to solving the case each marshal is involved in during their pursuit of their women. Reviewed by Barbara

I received a copy from Hidden Gems; this is my honest review.
-Loved the growing chemistry between Adrianna and Shane. Even though it was a business contract, you could feel there was something there.
-Sex scenes are generally good except one of the last ones where I thought it was too long for nothing.
-Loved the description of almost anything around: clothing, emotions, buildings, space, etc.
-For me, it felt mostly as an erotic romantic suspense. The suspense started early on and kept you on your toes until the surprising end.
-Definitely needs another editing pass. Missing words all over the place; very distracting.

Great Book! Explore the relationship between the sheriff and Adrianna, she "paid" assistant for work and play. She is under contract to him for 2 years and needs the money to pay off the loans for her training. She was running from an evil man who wanted to force her to marry her for some reason. She has no family except a grandmother that she has never met. Shane has no intentions of falling for her because marriage to her is forbidden on his planet. When she is in danger, the attraction is too much for either to ignore any longer!

This is the first book by this author I have read and I am very pleased. The story-line and "world" building are wonderful. The combination of sci-fi and BDSM is great. Adrianna and Shane were both terrific characters. If this book is any indication of what I can expect from this author, I will be looking for other stories.

This is a science fiction story without aliens, which is rare these days. In this book the reader will find planets (worlds) with different social and cultural societies, e.g. one where men absolute dominate and one where women are in absolute control. Shane is a "dom" and expert at tying up his "subs". Dria is a "sub" but also a women with a very strong character and integrity. I actually read this book twice.

This is a wildly imaginative book. The works building is incredible, creating a working matriarchal society that feels viable. Add in a plot that is just wonderful l, well crafted lead and supporting characters and strong writing. The result is a truly enjoyable book that I’m happy to recommend.

Loved this sexy sci-fi read! The story is fast-paced with loads of drama and suspense. Shane and Adrianna have great chemistry and the story really draws you in. Looking forward to reading more in the series.

Veeeerry Interesting!!!!
I gave this book five stars a. it kept my mind engaged
b. I wasn't sure how the two main characters would land with a happy ever after.
c. This book and new writer for me surprised me.
So I do not like giving an over view, sharing little tidbits or my opinion as to why the reader should take my opinion to heart
I enjoyed my time in space. Hope you will too.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I really loved this book.This is the first book that I have read by this author and I am looking forward to reading more from her. She has spun some gender roles in an interesting way. I am looking forward to other books in this world.
Shane is a Marshal from Tallav which is a planet where women are in control. Shane is different than most other men because he doesn't want to get married and become the caregiver of his children. He likes to be in charge especially in the bedroom. This makes him an outsider. Adrianna Pacquin is a sexual submissive and Shane has bought her contract from her school. Shane and Adrianna work really well in the bedroom as well as outside. Adrianna is running from a crime lord who wants to marry her. Can Shane and Adrianna overcome this and find their way to their happy ever after?

A sci-fi erotic western romance set in a Federation planet scenario. Each has its own unique characteristics, which unfold during the narrative. One of them Tallav is exclusively matriarchal. Tho' not dommes the women are alpha and as such take on alpha roles and their men are expected to be househusbands and are groomed as such. Their main purpose is to provide heirs. Um…interesting and such a novel idea for starters. However, what if the sons of these matriarchal societies turn out to be alpha. After all life is not perfect, not even in matriarchal, Tallavan society. lol Problems for the Tallavan matriarchs big time of course. But also for the alpha male. He is effectively a pariah in his own society. Shane finds himself in this dilemma among others. To divulge would be a spoiler. Is there a solution and could it work? Adrianna on the other hand is an orphaned true sexual submissive. There's no doubt of the chemistry between the pair but could this blossom into a true relationship. Shane an experienced Dom yet has never encountered anything like Adrianna. More curveballs in this story arc. Both have their secrets and they interfere with their relationship, as all secrets will do. Yup yet another curveball Briste hurls at her readers and adeptly mixes it with the erotic BDSM trope for an additional dash of spice. Novels of this genre aim to be steamy, panty meltingly hot with the readers and the heroine swooning, drooling, and panting over their heroes' a.k.a book boyfriends. One is fortunate to have a storyline to it but the plot is minimalist at best overtly leaning exclusively towards sex and BDSM. Briste does achieve this as the novel is filled with plenty of erotica. Bondage fans prepare to be thrilled as this is Shane's speciality. However, one is pleasantly surprised to find that not only had she a good storyline but she also focused on more than plot, curveballs, and dark sex. One is transported to the places in her mind, unforgettable worlds filled with potent desires. The characters were realistic as was the plot. This is Shane and Adrianna's journey of passion, sensuality and discovering love. As the tapestry of their life unfolds one is drawn into their world experiencing everyday emotions like fear, anguish, grief, uncertainty, helplessness, awakening and with it acceptance . Not that much different from the rest of the world bar their kink, I guess. Is this another subtle message from Briste? It soon strikes one that Briste is using the plot, storyline, curveballs in fact every writer's trope to deliver subtle messages. Thought provoking and unusual for a novel of this genre imparting it more depth than the usual fare found in this category. For some this might be exciting or at the very least interesting. Others though might just find it irksome. Briste's craftsmanship however makes it a worthwhile read. This novel is unputdownable and even prompted one to reach out for the sequel immediately. Certainly not a book to be missed so readers, time to shed the irksome and enjoy.

Certain elements of this story really stood out to me. I really enjoyed every phase of Shane and Adrianna’s relationship from their cute meeting to the sweet ending, and not to mention those sizzling sex scenes. I also loved the other characters in the story. I will be starting Maon’s story next, which I am very excited for after experiencing a little of his personality in this story. The Benefactor and Ceana were very high on my favorite book villains list. Maybe I have a little sadist in me who knows, but the scenes featuring both of those characters had me glued to my kindle and enjoying every second of it. I look forward to continuing the series and hope for more fabulous villains and enjoyable characters as well as those steamy erotic scenes.
Here are a couple of my favorite quotes:
"This is serious tonight, Adrianna. Keep your eyes on me. No one else. I am your world, your focus. React only to me. No thoughts but for me. Burn with fire for me. No one else. I will display you, and they will covet you. But you are mine. Mine alone. Do not offer them even a glance. Do you understand?"
"I can see that your inner purity is unsullied. You've been blemished on the outside, but it is a small crack that that can be repaired. I will restore you to your former self. A surgeon shall once again make you an untouched beauty. It will be as though you are sixteen once again. You will be my treasure as I've always planned."

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review, provided by the Author through the BDSM group on goodreads.
The detail and descriptors in this book take you into the fantasy and draw you into the storyline. The characters were well developed and the storyline kept you enticed. The fantasy was so detailed that you could imagine yourself aboard the ship and flying through space.
The relationship between the two characters was in depth without unbelievability.
Very nice read, look forward to more from this author.

August 12, 2018Je ne suis pas certaine des intentions de l'auteure... Elle a inventé une planète fondée par des femmes qui y ont instauré un matriarcat plutôt rigide. J'ai d'abord cru qu'elle voulait indirectement montrer les failles du patriarcat et que, mises dans la même position de pouvoir, les femmes risqueraient bien de faire le même type d'erreurs que les hommes. Mais certaines remarques de Shane me font douter, surtout celle où il se fait la remarque, voyant Dria à genoux, que la place d'une femme est dans cette position. J'ai vraiment sursauté!
Et c'est difficile de croire que la moitié de la population de Tallav - la moitié masculine - ne fasse pas la révolution, sachant que sur d'autres planètes, les droits des hommes sont nettement plus respectés que sur la leur. Enfin.
