Reese is a young man who caught his boyfriend cheating and decided tit-for-tat, big mistake. The man he was meeting turned out to be recruiting for a trafficking ring and although Reese had no idea, he was different and special but unfortunately the wrong people knew. The last thing he remembered was meeting the man, Hugh and when he woke up, he was in a large cage and ready for auction. Hugh revealed what his specialness was, he is a blade, someone who carries a weapon inside them. Hugh could care less if he hurt Reese and when he pulled the huge sword he had inside him it caused enormous pain. Reese is scared but the scariest thing was when Hugh advised him that no matter who bought him, he would return and take him back.
Cihan Burakgazi is a billionaire who wants to bring down the trafficking ring and Hugh, he wants the glory and has every intention of rescuing the captives and returning them home. When Reese comes up for auction Cihan realizes he is a blade and as a templar, a human gifted with supernatural skills he has the ability to remove Reese’s weapon. Determined to win he bids three billion dollars. He has bought many blades before but not one of them lasts more than a week he treats them well and sends them home.
Cihan treats Reese to a beautiful room in his mansion, an entire wardrobe and even an office set up for him to continue his freelance art work. He now lives in Bloodrock Bay with a billionaire who treats him as a guest. Reese is determined to see his sword if only to see that it is real and Cihan removes it without causing any pain. After a week Cihan is shocked to find that Reese is still with him and he wants his blade to help him bring down the trafficking ring. Reese finds himself trusting Cihan more than anyone and is comfortable but worried about being told to leave when their mission is completed.
In spite of the fact that Cihan owns Reese there is not that much sex between them which Reese would definitely like to change. It was wonderful watching as Cihan and Reese’s relationship grows and exciting as they, along with Cihan’s friends work at ending the trafficking ring and freeing the captives.
It was a wonderful book and some of the scenes were sad and brutal . My only criticism was that the book at times was a bit slow moving.
