"The future will never be the same again once the past is revealed"

Grey Stone knew when he had been set up. After arriving on Avion to attend the burial of a good friend and former teacher, he found his teacher had duped him. He wasn't just to take in his mentor's latest student, he was honor bound to protect her.

When Grey found out just whom he was protecting her from and why, he couldn't believe it. Cidra was more than a Kin-Sha warrior, she was the only living member of a family betrayed, and in her possession were the clues to unraveling an old mystery and bringing about the downfall of a corrupt leader.

UNCHAINED is a mystery, a futuristic sci-fi, and a romance all rolled into one appealing book. The characters work together to find out who betrayed whom years ago, to settle an old family debt, to restore the honor of an entire planet, and still manage to fight their attraction for each other.

The attraction between the hero and heroine is tangible and very seductive. C.J. Barry has done a very nice job of keeping the story going, while still packing in the sexual chemistry and budding love.
