It’s the lure of the PL Nunn cover… gets me every time in it’s awesome sweetness.But.This story alternately entertained and annoyed. I blame it mostly on the pacing. So slow and tedious when the action stopped, so fun when there was lots of back talk, posturing and gunfights. Zeshin/Zen, or “the boy...
Heh, heh. Lookie what I found languishing in one of my numerous folders.Anyways, here's the review:Man, all this "this boy" business...what's up with that?

Ok cyberpunk m/m romance about a mercenary whose life is saved by a genetically engineered 'battlepet' who then imprints on him. Definitely an HFN ending... and there aren't any other books in this series yet.
Such a pretty cover.. *sigh*
