Blind Space

By: Marie Sexton

Narrated by: John Solo

Length: 4 hrs and 15 mins

Publisher's Summary

Captain Tristan Kelley enjoys the luxuries of Regency service, as well as the pleasure of his prince's bed. It's an easy life, if not a happy one. When the prince decides to take a trip through the perilous Blind Space, Tristan must go with him, but somebody in the prince's guard is a traitor.

Blind and held prisoner, Tristan finds himself at the mercy of Valero, a pirate who bears no love for the Regency. Valero is determined to seduce Tristan, and Tristan fears his resolve won't last. His duty is clear, but so is his desire. As the days tick by with no word or ransom from the Regency, Tristan begins to question what loyalty means to his prince, the Regency he's sworn to, and to the man who holds him captive. He begins to realize that being a prisoner may actually set him free.

Intriguing story

Marie Sexton writes a wide variety of genres within MM and is great at all of them. This story is somewhat sci-fi though it focuses more on romance than outer space action. Tristan and Valero are a great couple and their interactions were wonderful. The sex scenes are incredible. Hot and erotic.
I loved the ending.

Fantastic!

I was a little nervous when I heard that Blind Space had been made into an audio book because I really like this book and re-read it regularly. My nerves were totally unnecessary, as the narrator did an amazing job.

Excellent Story & Characters

The universe and characters in this story are exceptionally well developed which set the stage for an excellent story.

As strong as the universe and character are, it is a real shame there were not more stories set on this stage.

Loved this story! Great narration!

Great sci-fi romance!! The story very much focuses on the two MC’s, but that’s not to say the author doesn’t do a great job at worldbuilding, because she does. I loved the merry band of resourceful space pirates roaming the blind space.

This is forced proximity at its best!! Tristan’s temporary blindness makes it even more intense. I also love the single POV, it works really well for this story, making the reader a bit blind as well, same as Tristan. Valero remains an intriguing and seductive mystery for a large part of the story. Neither Tristan nor Valero is looking for love and they certainly didn’t expect to find it in the arms of their enemy. Woohoo, another great trope creeps in, hello enemies-to-lovers!
Tristan is forced to reassess his live and values. Will he choose duty or take a leap into the unknown and reach for love?

The narration was really great. John Solo did a masterful job with the voices of all the characters and his acting was spot on. Valero especially sounds really languid, very much like a roguish pirate and Tristan sounds exactly like the earnest, dutiful young officer he is.
I also loved that this sci-fi story, where rebels/pirates fight a larger empire, ok regency, is narrated by John Solo of Falcon Sound Company. Obviously a match made in heaven. Or Outer Space;-)

Amazing!

This is an amazing scifi story. I love the whole world building that Marie Sexton has done. It makes it seem like I am there. I also just love Tristan and Valero. Then with the narration by John Solo is just amazing! He just takes a story to the next level. I absolutely love him!

Fun little space pirate romp

What a fun little space pirate romp this was. Not a trope I normally read, but I love Marie Sexton's writing and I seem to have developed some kind of Pavlovian response to John Solo's voice.

We are thrown directly into the story, but the world building is still well done and at no point are you confused as to what is going on. Ms. Sexton seamlessly weave in facts about the world whilst telling the story, so the reader never gets lost.

Despite the fact that our two main characters are captor and prisoner, the relationship still develop quite organically and the plot ensures that any doubts you had about the power balance between Tristan and Valero are negated.

I warmly recommend this short audiobook. It's perfect entertainment for a long journey.

Please devour me Captain!

OMG!!! I freaking LOVE this book and I owe everything to Cupcake for discovering this book. While I was browsing books on GR, I saw her very enthusiastic and tempting review and I went and bought this book right away. And as she said, ”indeed, money well spent”. It was worth every penny. 👏👏👏


So we have captain Tristan Kelly who’s the captain of the prince’s personal guards. He doesn’t enjoy his job that much and he’s sharing his Prince’s bed rather as a duty than for pleasure. And our captain has a deep, dark, kinky fetish that he has never shared with anyone. And suddenly, their ship got captured by pirates and he found himself as a captive of these notorious pirates. And one pirate, Valero, seems to take interest in him and try to find out the deepest, darkest secrets of Tristan. And the thing is, Tristan wants his secret to be discovered more than anything and used against him by this insistent and sexy pirate. 😏



This is the kind of book you need to read yourself to enjoy it. It’s too good to hint and spoil. Let me just say, when Tristan finally surrendered to Valero, they saw stars, fireworks and whateverthehell of these SUPERNOVAS. 😱 The attraction is electrifying, hot and titillating. And the sex, ohhhhh, it’s so kinky and filthy and erotic. 😍 I just can’t get enough. I can’t!!!!!! I NEED more!!!! I’m going to read every single book of this author .. I swear! 😂 And the ending couldn’t be better and sweeter. Loved every single second of it! Again, thanks Cupcake. Love you! 😍❤️😘

Space Pirates! And Yummy (John) Solo!

Love, Love, Love this Book!!!

This book! This AUDIO! Gahhhh! I want to be in the middle of a Tristan and Valero sandwich. Blindfolded. I’m OK with my hands being tied and having my stockings ripped to get to the good parts. Of course, Tristan will be wearing his own lacy, silky underthings which Valero will uncontrollably rip away at.

Oh, I’m writing a review. Guess I got a little off track there in my space pirate/space captive fantasy. Sadly, I’m not in the book. Just Valero, the pirate, and Tristan, his blind and bound captive. The stocking thing? Ya, that happens. The panty thing, too. Damn, if only JCP’s mnems were a real thing, I would be so down with inserting this fantasy into my mental playground!!

Aside from making me lustfully wish I were aboard this pirate ship, this book kept me going vía characters and, wait for it....plot. Yes, one action led to another, eventually culminating in a climax (heh heh) and flowing into a nice warm pool of resolution. Yay, Marie Sexton!

My favorite part of this book was seeing Valero slowly wear Tristan down. Told from Tristan’s POV, I saw him struggle to restrain himself from giving himself over to Valero. When he finally does, it’s not just because he’s horny (although he is) it’s because of plot. It makes it so worth it and that much more real. Well, as real as being wined and dined by a pirate on a spaceship can be.

Audiobook fans: BUY THIS! Valero’s voice is dreamy and playful—and that’s all we know about him because Tristan is blind at present.

OK, I’m off to meditate about the vastness of space and pirate sandwiches!

Absolutely Perfect Story - Solo is Incredible!

I'm making a reread shelf just so I can put this book on it. What an absolutely fantastic story... from beginning to end, just completely perfect.

The scenes where Tristan is describing what it feels like to put on the lace panties is so beautifully written, truly I'm amazed.

The details and the emotions and everything that happens to Tristan without his eyesight is one of the best things I've ever read.

I was also lucky enough to enjoy this one on audio, thank you John Solo for your incredible talent and elevating this already wonderful story onto my favorites shelf.

Space pirates

Space pirates... gotta love 'em. If you don't, then this one isn't for you. This was a fun story. A bit predictable, but it felt like an old shoe (maybe a comfortable 2 inch closed-toe pump).
