I read a lot of M/M romance and this one, despite being classified a Romance for Mature Audiences, had no real gratuitous sex scenes and was plot driven. Political machinations and intrigue rule the day. Set in a world of Slaves or Pets- mainly a matter of terminology I understand these have been controversial but I feel they were really well written and I became embroiled in what happens next while still rooting for our MCs. 5 stars- 4 for shorts
