Ultimatum, for 12,000 words, is a novelette yet so big in bang. I admit I went into it expecting whips and pain and erotic sex scene after scene with no story but......stupid me didn't count on Gemma James planting a seed of a twisted, engrossing story that would take me through this trilogy.It was a few things that got me hooked in this book. Mother, Kayla and terminally ill daughter, Eve are in a situation to make any person feel heavy and sad. This then is in the forefront of your mind when Kayla--ultimately--has no choice but to start a contract with Gage for cruel, twisted, sex for his own self-pleasing sexual desires because it gives her the money she needs. It's crazy and Gemma made me squirm exactly how I think she intended me to. She also made me feel the confusing pleasure at times, when after the beating Kayla endured, she received sexual gratification.Then there was Gage who had my emotions tumbling as if in a dryer. Man, he is a character I'll never forget. He's intense--sadistic and sexual, he's damn intense.A light read, Ultimatum almost made the coveted 5 stars, but was a tad short to completely satisfy me.
