The Vampire and the Violinist...
Selena Bates's ex was as boring as they come--entirely too vanilla for her adventurous tastes. Now she's getting a chance to visit a whole new planet where nobody is vanilla. On Ma'shorka Centra, all females are required to have a "Seal of Independence" prominently displayed, or a male Master who is responsible for keeping them in line. Unfortunately, Selena is single, but a girl can dream, can't she? And anyway, she's determined to have the adventure of a lifetime, playing her violin for the Emperor himself.
Valen is a Defender--the Kindred version of a lawyer. He's also a Pitch-Blood Kindred--the only kind of Blood Kindred who actually needs to drink blood. Having taken a vow never to call a bride, he is intensely irritated to find that he is sitting next to a tempting, curvy Elite on the interstellar shuttle. Determined to ignore her, he gives Selena the impression that he's a world-class jerk. However, when she gets attacked at the spaceport and her Seal of Independence is stolen, Valen comes to her rescue. But there's one big problem--without her Seal, she needs a "Master"-- and guess who has to step up and help her out?
Valen is determined to keep his vow, no matter how tempting Selena is. But when she is framed by the vengeful Third Empress for a crime she didn't commit, only he can defend her in the crooked Ma'shorkan High Court. Will Selena have to serve her sentence of "a hundred thousand lifetimes of hard labor?" And will Valen be able to resist the tempting little Earth female?

Kindred Tales 34!
Delivered by then Defender: Kindred Tales 34 - Evangeline Anderson
This was a wonderful lengthy Kindred Tales to really dive into and let my mind float around in another one of Evangeline Anderson’s crazy new worlds the Kindred are connected to. The new world is a horribly misogynistic one , almost the male version of Yonnie 6. It is pretty shocking and disturbing but is portrayed as such, never condoning the rules of this society. Here the men are considered to rule women and women are considered so low they need a special band declaring them an Independent women, without the band any male can claim the female, can keep, sell or whatever horrible fate they choose.
The heroine, Selena, is a gifted violinist who has been recommended by her close friend ,to play for the Emperor on a special occasion. Unfortunately her friend has to go back to earth for an emergency and Selena is sent into a whirlwind of problems.
Valen is a Kindred Defender “lawyer” who has been assigned by the Kindred to defend the poor women get into trouble by the horrible rules of this world.
Valen pulleys Selena to her special appearance with the Emperor. He is immediately drawn to the curvy elite female but due to his status a vampire Kindred (his bite when he bonds a female is not pleasant) has sworn to never claim a bride.
Selena has always had a desire to delve into the BDSM world and is ready to embrace her sexuality with Valen .
Valen’s refusal to claim Selena is a big rejection for her but even worse is he must act as her owner and “defender” when she loses her band of independence and gets on the wrong side of the 3rd Empress.
As her “master” the pair face some major drama, scary experiences but also some kinky, sexy situations.
The overall imagination and world building is over the top, a disturbing society created to shock the reader and never displayed as “okay” by the author. The characters are well developed and it is refreshing to have the heroine embrace her sexuality and rights as a woman. The male, Valen also faces some truths about himself and his heritage. They both basically help each other come to that HEA.
Dangerous world for women
A sci-fi romance with a somewhat dark side. What happens when a teacher/violinist and a Kindred lawyer sit next to each other? Well not what you would expect. But it will be the beginning of an insane ride for one young human woman. She is about to be re-educated on how one world sees females and it will be more than an eye opener. This story is a guaranteed happily ever after but the ride there does get a little dark and includes some bdsm.
