I've never read anything by C.D. Reiss & I'm not sure if this book is like her others - it was seriously intense! I enjoy some dark erotica but I have to feel some kind of romance & love at some point & I'm not sure if I'm going to get any kind of warm & fuzzy feeling from this series. Having said that, it is a book I won't soon forget so I have to give it the credit it deserves. Fiona is a rich wild child to the extreme - drugs & sex & money rule her life and she isn't feeling one moment of remorse. The imagine of her combining drugs & sex in the bathroom of a dive bar is exactly what Fiona is all about! Except her life has been turned upside down when she finds herself in a mental ward accused of stabbing her lover Deacon. The therapist uses hypnosis to try to bring back her memories & we see how the sexual master/slave relationship began with Deacon. We even get a peak into something that would make me very happy - some kind of commitment between Fiona & Deacon because they have something that they can't turn away from. Their sexual relationship is crazy - he ties her up, possibly shares her with others if he chooses, and she adores him & would do anything for him. The part I don't understand is that I would easily call Fiona a sex addict - all alone in the mental ward she has memories of her time with Deacon & she cannot control her sexual urges. She will rub up against just about anything or anyone to get off - the girl has issues that no one seems to be addressing! But not once does poor Fiona remember the night before she was locked in treatment, she still can't recall what would have caused her to harm Deacon! And for that, I'm going to hang in there & I'm dying to read book #2.
