Hades is a Slave King, one of the most powerful and wealthy beings in the galaxy. But all he wants is to be left alone with machine servants and his collection of broken robots. So what makes him purchase a flawed vat-grown human slave boy?

Doll, one of the most beautiful of the manufactured Botticelli pleasure slaves, is imperfect. He was pulled from his tank missing his right foot. Not only that, something must be wrong with his brain, because though he was bred to want pleasure, he finds himself filled with a different sort of longing no slave should have. He wants to be loved.

Doll is way outside Hades’ preference for company and sexual release. But when Doll imprints on Hades and falls in love with him, he yearns to find a way to become more to Hades than just another item in a vast and priceless hoard.

Contains: an uncanny pairing, pleasure slaves, age gap, first time, high heat, broken supertoys, and a robot god. Guaranteed HEA.

Doll, a pleasure slave finds himself at an auction hoping to be bought because he is imperfect. Doll was grown in a vat not a robot but a clone and he was born with a missing foot. Although beautiful to look at which is how he got his name who would pay for a pleasure slave with a prosthetic foot. If he is not bought, he will be dismantled and nothing will remain of him.

At the auction he and the other pleasure slaves are treated like animals and one man after another touched and prodded until Doll had enough and finally did the unthinkable, he spit now his chances of being bought are all but dead. Ready to be removed from the auction he hears a voice stating that Doll has been bought and he has been bought by a Slave King. Slave Kings are immortal and believed to be gods and the Slave King that just bought Doll is one of the wealthiest of them all.

Doll is only two weeks old; he was taught everything his creator wanted him to know, his memories were not his own but implanted into his brain and unlike the other pleasure slaves he dreams of freedom having a family and being loved. Of course, none of his dreams are destined to come true.

Hades is known for buying humans and Doll is as close to human as you can get but for some reason Doll’s imperfection and his act of defiance drew Hades to want him. Thrilled to be bought and by someone Doll feels connected to he learns the rules, he is always to be naked, he is to sleep on the couch in Hades’ bedroom and Hades has no desire to have sex with him but only with his robots. We do discover in time why he doesn’t want to be with a human and although it makes perfect sense it is sad.

Hades sees to it that all of Doll’s needs are met, he is fed allowed to walk the grounds and the mansion but it is empty because there is no touching by him or by Hades. A vat born human like Doll can live up to 200 years and it will no doubt be a very lonely time. What happens between Doll and Hades I will not discuss in this review. The story was beautifully written and Hades and Doll were amazing characters I couldn’t help but love.

This story was so unique, a Slave King who only wants to be with robots, a pleasure slave who wants to be loved. The story was beautifully written and Hades and Doll were amazing characters I couldn’t help but love.

This story was so unique, a Slave King who only wants to be with robots, a pleasure slave who wants to be loved brought together and I did not put the book down until I read the last word. I highly recommend this book and I am glad that I got to read it.
