BDSM Erotic Romance Trilogy for 18+ Adults only!  Books 1-3 are included in this boxed set.  Book 1 is mostly sex, sex, and more sex.  The details of the tragedy Carmen has been through comes out mostly in books 2-3.  This is when the real story and plot begin to unfold.Book 1 is a quick read and kicks off the story with Kurt mistaking Carmen for a call girl.  Throughout the whole story I wondered when the call girl would arrive and what would happen.When Kurt was trying to find Carmen again, he tipped off the DEA to her location by running her finger prints.  Which eventually lead her to call him and tell him more about what had happened to her.  Kurt pays for her lawyer so she can clear up the mess that escaping Robert Ellis put her in.  But she is worried about what Kurt will think when she explains how she dealt with being Robert's slave.  Want to know how he reacted?When Carmen meetings Kurt's sister they are supposed to go shopping while he is at work.  Instead Carmen visits Kurt's ex-girlfriend who has been giving him trouble.  Miracle worker she is, she fixes the situation for all involved!  Then it is time to meet Andre - who helps Carmen work out most all of her guilt over what happened.  Only problem, Robert is still alive and has found her... but the DEA helps take care of that too!  You may be surprised how they solved Carmen's problem with Robert.This story has a couple surprises and lots of hot sex, some consensual - some to keep Carmen alive!Favorite passages:I think he's 'Thor the God of Thunderous Orgasms.'"Carmen had survived as best she could.  Fighting or resisting would have made life hell, or Robert might have killed her.  There had been no better choice for her than the course she had taken, and yet ... would Kurt understand?  Or would he be sickened by her slutty slave behavior?""I've been on my own for so long, Kurt," Carmen said.  "Just surviving. Reliant on myself, and not needing anyone, or even anything.  I just wanted to complete my degree.  That was my focus.  When that was taken away from me... when everything was taken away, I was so lost." Kurt's strong arms squeezed her sympathetically. "Now I feel like a piece of driftwood in the ocean, Kurt, and your the shore," she said. "I want to cling to the one bit of safety and stability I have ever known. Is that wrong?  Is that love?" She stifled a sudden insane compulsion to laugh hysterically.  "Am I losing my mind?"
