I have had for about one year the intention to read this book. I think it was the first book I discover by Mychael Black and for a reason or another, never start to read it. Then some days ago I answered to a poll by Phaze and they gave an ebook free for that. So I chose Kitten.I have always had an idea that Kitten was a iper sexy and kinky book, about a Master and his Pet relationship. Shaun is a werecat who didn't know until eighteen years old to be a shifter. In the futuristic world where he lives, weres are like pet for human: they are used for sex and play and they are not treat as human being. So when he learns the true about himself he flies away from the rehabilitation center where his parents have sold him. And he finds Ashley, a man who is contrary to the way the society treats weres and he decides to claim Shaun as his own pet to protect him.
Even if Ashley is the Master, he is not a commanding character. He craves intimacy and kindness and he is willing to give them back. He doesn't ask or pretend nothing from Shaun, but he waits for Shaun to give him all freely. Shaun is young and he know few things about sex, but a lot about what society expects him to do. And when he finds Ashley, he is deeply grateful to the fate that has led him to a so kind man. The relationship between the two is of comfort and tender love.
The story has a tinge of sadness I didn't expect. Really the few "kinky" scenes you will find are not essential to the story: I was just enough satisfy from the story as it was. Not that I'm complaining for them, but I have liked better the caring and tender part than the sexy.
