Castor’s Kiss (Soul Bonded in the Stars Book 2) by Tai James – Review by Jess Dimmock

Castor’s Kiss by Tai James
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An interesting new take on a Science Fiction Romance. I’ve read quite a few Sci-Fi Romance novels, but this is the first time I’ve encountered a Romanesque Gladiatorial style one. James blends the past and future ridiculously well here.
Our leading lady has endured tragedy, horror, and torture all before being sold into slavery to a Xaranthian. At our opening, Mia has endured so much, yet realizes that she’s lost something. She chooses to re-embrace her humanity and try to rescue her “partner” in the current gladiatorial match. A female with almost no combat skills, and as one of the top fighters in the arena Mia is Done.
Castor, our lead hunk, has come to rescue Mia in the stead of her crewmates. Crewmates Mia thinks are dead. Only he winds up tricked and set-up by Throl, Mia’s owner and entered into the gladiatorial games as well.
Our two wind up finding a great deal more than either bargained for as they fight to survive and escape. This one is a really fun ride and has a wonderful mix of history and futuristics, along with a stellar cast.
