The High General
Planet Conquial: Surplus Males–14 males per 1 female
Planet Quarriel: Surplus Females-19 females per 1 male
Result: Conquial is in a state of Procreation: FAIL
The men from Conquial are not called Conquerors for nothing. They engineer space travel to reach Quarriel. For thousands of years, they peacefully trade natural resources and technology for women. This helps many men on Conquial to get mates, but even with this arrangement there has never been enough women. The problem is in the matching. A Conqueror can't mate with just any woman; their chemistry has to match.
And then the Conquerors discover a new planet they call Q2. They journey to this new planet and find an even greater supply of women. The Conquerors will take any woman whose chemistry matches to a Conqueror, by trade or by force, it matters not.
This is where Tassala meets Jaxon, High General of the Conquerors.
Tassala is fascinated by sexy Jaxon. She pursues him only to find herself his quarry. He offers the chance for a husband and babies she never thought to have. But suddenly he turns dictatorial, and she thinks all he really wants is to oppress her.
Jaxon succeeds in capturing Tassala, his newly discovered mate. He thinks he has succeeded in taming her too, until she starts rebelling against him.
When she endangers herself while defying him, he is forced to walk a fine line between punishing her and still keeping her love.
Word Count: 30,000
Reader Advisory: Graphic heterosexual sex descriptions, multiple male on one female, but no intercourse except between hero and heroine.

This book was recently put out for review on BookSprout under the title "Submit to the Conqueror : No Escape from The High General (Book 1)" but it is definitely the same book.
Seeing a very interesting huge man in the woods, the woman followed him back to his camp out of curiosity, despite being afraid. All of the men were dressed alike, so probably this was their uniform. There were no females in the group. In one day -- since she had passed this spot yesterday and it had nothing on it but berry bushes -- they had erected 30 structures! The golden knight she followed entered one of the buildings, so she would need to enter the camp to get any closer to him. She was going to be punished by her brother or father for being late anyway, so she might just as well satisfy her curiosity first.
This is not my kind of book, and frankly it was ridiculous right from the start and I already didn’t want to continue it. Why would anyone follow a huge, odd-looking male deeper into the woods to his camp? Why would she remain watching, seeing 30 buildings erected overnight and a population of these giant men? Anyone I know would creep away and run for their life! Worse yet, when the one she followed went into one of the buildings, why would she decide to enter the camp to continue spying on him? As if that were not enough to have me sputtering at her stupidity, her culture punishes the women – never the men – with physical paddle beatings! Sorry, I can’t continue. This one was a definite one for me to avoid. The heroine was way too clueless to evoke my sympathy or concern for her.

Alien men finding their mates on another planet it not a new concept. The premise is fine and I like Tassala's spunky attitude but other parts just fall a little short.
Somethings are not adequately explained or explored. Why should women, particularly who have been mated for years, need sperm everyday or they grow afraid of their mates. That doesn't really make sense. The public punishment for disobey the rules on the Conqueror's home planet doesn't seem harsh at all for women the way it is portrayed being accepted by the women. Not enough to stop their behavior if they really want to act up. If there are so many women vs. men on the the other planet that Jaxom's society usually gets their women from and there are still more women than men on that planet, it only makes sense that women would be trained for jobs. Some of them must want more activity that volunteering at the zoo and something worthy of their time. These are small points but they begin to add up.
What the biggest disappointment for me was the way it ended. It seems rushed. Tassala seemed to be making a point of wanting more freedom, wanting information, being able to see her family and having something meaningful to do because she is use to working. Even if she is scared enough by the incident at the zoo that she is ready to escape back into the honeymoon stage, I can't see that lasting forever but it is left as if everything is settled between them.
I'm not sure if I'm interested enough in reading another in the series, if there is one.

This has potential!
This is a stand-alone and there has been no follow up book to this original story. Originally published in 2014 this could be a good book but there are too many threads not followed up as the book progressed. This feels like a draft.
There are other reviews and blurb so I will not add spoilers
There are other reviews that love this and have awarded 5 stars so if you like this author then do not be put off by my 3 stars

I liked this book.
I enjoyed the characters and it was oh so steamy.
Though there were parts that confused me, where I felt it rushed and I got lost.
I enjoyed it enough to look for the other books in the series to see what happens next with Xenia and Karl and the Mutants.
Happy reading!
Rating 4 stars

Started out with promise, then just went down hill from there.
