Review: Nolen is sent on a mission to discover the truth of new information about the disappearance of his childhood friend, Snow (Delling). His team-mates Terrian and Qamar join him on the planet Ignis, a primitive world with only animal life. A confrontation with a predator leads to the discovery of an underground world where Snow has lived for 2 years. But, escaping the underground world is not as easy as Nolen wishes.

A wonderful science fiction take on the Snow White fairy-tale. Nolen has never quite been able to really connect with another man, and he only discovers the reason why when he discovers Snow again. Terrian has a hard time trusting anyone with his heart and Qamar won’t be pushed around in love. Snow has been looked after by the inhabitants of the underground world of Ignis and can remember nothing of his life except that a monster wants his heart. Nolen and Snow have to return to the surface, but the Guardian tries to stop them and Snow’s life hangs in the balance.

We receive a treat with this story as we have not one, but two romances to enjoy. Nolan and Snow’s romance is sweet, childhood friends who adored each other, but had little contact. Snow’s hope of getting Nolan to see him as an adult put paid by his step-mothers schemes, re-uniting and Nolan realizing what he had been hiding from himself and Snow’s inner recognition of just what Nolan means to him. Then we have Terrian and Qamar, who have a slightly more tempestuous relationship. as Terrian has flitted from relationship to relationship to protect his heart, while Qamar has patiently waited for the chance to catch him and claim him.

The background story is good. Taking the Snow White storyline and twisting it to a space setting, while adding a touch of danger in the setting of a primitive world, and giving two couples the chance to find true love. Both couples have their unique lovemaking, but both couples are very hot in the bedroom, or the pool, or floating around and even in the med bay.

I have to recommend this to those who like science fiction, futuristic fairy-tales, wonderful characters, hot varied sex, a great storyline and a very happy ending.
