4.5 stars - only because I wanted a menage scene at the end. Sci Fi world where a genetically engineered disease created Master/slave relationships amongst the general population. The disease stimulated the aggressive behavior part of the brain in the average person, or in the case of Connor, suppressed it.
The story started a year after the MCs contracted the disease, and they continued to change during the course of the book. David was a natural dominant being a CEO, but had a heart for his employees, especially Connor. The disease made straight David become so possessive that he became sexually attracted to Connor, with a little sadistic streak. Security specialist Emmett was a BDSM Dom before the change and applied his knowledge to training newly affected submissives. The disease really made him hunt Connor as prey and challenge David for ownership. And poor Connor, he just turned into an emotional irrational over-reactive wet rag, when he had been head of IT at David's company. David's attorney girlfriend may not have always been so aggressive and inhuman - the disease did a number on her too - because her devaluation of Connor surprised David.
Connor, being an anomaly, lost his rights as a human citizen during the course of the story. Connor first chose David to collar him for protection, but was also attracted to Emmett. David, who left his girlfriend for Connor, was the strong one of the bunch - he protected Connor legally and financially, cared enough for Connor to share him with Emmett, and forced Emmett to grow a conscience.
I thought it was a cool book because the D/s was induced by disease. The icing on the cake would have been some lifestyle scenarios and a menage scene to see how David and Emmett share Connor. Maybe Ms. Gregg can add that with a rewrite/republish.
But dang it was a scary world. That kind of effect, making people more aggressive, would cause a world war.
