Author's Summary: Hundreds of years in the future, in a galaxy torn apart by war, Commander Jeffrey Dean Morgan must team up with Lt. Jensen Ackles to rescue two lost soldiers on a planet with a society based around BDSM (bondage, domination, submission, sado-masochism). Jensen, who specializes in sexual espionage, must go undercover as Jeff's sexual submissive to prove that Jeff is a Master worthy of bringing the captive troops home. In a city made up of alien technology so advanced it's like magic they discover not everything is what it seems, including their own mission. The citizens of planet 328 have their own politics and and their own secrets. And just how far will Jeff and Jensen have to go to appease their own military, who is far more interested in the technology than in rescuing the missing men? Somehow, they must also deal with their attraction for each other and decide which is more important: duty or love.

Review:
Meadows of Heaven is part of a longer series titled The Sex Corps, where in a space-exploring future timeline, Jensen works for a branch of the military that specializes in the seduction arts. Whiles militaries today probably don't have an official branch with that name, I would venture to guess most of them are not above using any means to achieve their end.

What I loved most about this stories is the world-building. The author, with her vivid and highly detail-oriented imagination, created a dazzling world filled with a large number of original and well fleshed-out characters, yet still maintained a strong hold of the plot and pacing. Along with Jensen & Co., you will get to explore a magnificent city, decipher a new, strange culture, discover various characters' hidden agenda, get dragged into potentially dangerous adventures, and let's not forget the primary reason they ended up on that alien planet in the first place -- to retrieve the military's lost solders. You will be so involved in the plot that the sex and kinks become secondary (although still a good bonus)!

A long, satisfying read. Highly recommended.
