"Outcast" [The Cat Star Chronicles, Book 4] by Cheryl Brooks
My Book Summary : After being captured, when he was only seventeen and his planet destroyed, Lynx was sold to be a slave to a harem of women (for sex or whatever they asked for). At first he thought it wasn't a bad deal. However, after a while scrounging for food for himself, having very little sleep, and dealing with women who just used and abused him on an hourly basis over a ten year period ... really changes his perspective.
Once he is sold again, this time to a mine merchant, and then set free after putting in his time, he is ready for peace, quiet, and NO women around him.
After he gets to a new planet, Terra Minor, he finds that the only job available is to work for a women, Bonnie. He doesn't want to, everything in him rebels in doing so, but if there is no jobs and the laws on the planet say you have to have a job or land to be able to live on the planet, then there is literally nothing else for him to do.
Bonnie and Lynx have a terrible first meeting. Over time it doesn't get much better even with Bonnie trying to make him feel comfortable. Yet even when Bonnie tries her best to stop from getting involved with Lynx (emotionally or otherwise) it's hard. Soon their relationship gets to a level that neither expected. And they realize that they might not want to give up on each other afterwards.
However, there is an unseen force who wants nothing more to have things change back to the way they were. The question is will those plans work or will they fall to pieces?
My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars -- this series takes your imagination to new heights and makes you wish that it might just be reality. Bonnie and Lynx make a great pair--sweet, smart and feisty--you couldn't ask for more! Plus, finding new information on old characters is one of the things that I love even more about this series! Jack & Cat are in each book in one way or another, and the others are either mentioned or apart of the reading landscape too, so it's kinda like your reading more then one story at a time. Very entertaining!
My Previous Review(s) for this Series : Book 1
Book Teaser(s) : His rejection of her was so complete, so all-encompassing; he not only despised her, but her entire gender!
Unfortunately, they still needed one another. Bonnie knew that one call to Drummond might get Lynx a different job, or even deported, but that was one of those things that only a woman scorned would do. Bonnie wasn't about to have him kicked off the planet just because he didn't like women. She would get over him. ~ within Chapter 6
