Rating: 4 out of 5

Gabi is on the run from Mexico to hide from a drug lord who will kill her if she ever returns. Captured in the US as an illegal immigrant she is told by a judge that her stay in the US is conditional on employment with a maid company. She won't exactly be cleaning toilets though, as this company actually supplies girls to wealthy men to fulfill their sexual needs, whatever those may be. Ben has hired the company to find him a girl that will never say no; none of the women they've supplied previously have met with his approval, until Gabi. While she is there under duress, she quickly realizes that she is in fact "maid" for Ben.The plot worked for me, though it may seem a bit outlandish or convoluted, but it's not the primary focus which makes it easier to forgive. The focus of this is really about Gabi and Ben.I think there is a tendency to tell more than show at times, and I would have liked to have had a better idea of Ben's POV, as I think that would have helped me to connect to him. As he is, he's fine, no real complaints about him. It was obvious that he cared for Gabi and I really enjoyed that. Gabi was likable, but it's hard for me to believe that submissiveness came that easily to her. Yes, it's possible for it to be there naturally, but by going for the ultimate natural submissive route with this, it eliminates an interesting thought process exhibited by one learning or growing into it.Still, I did enjoy this, it wasn't perfect but it gives enough to make it worth the read. As erotica it's decent, but I guess I would have preferred more detail and longer sex scenes with more BDSM. However, I'd still recommend this because it was engaging and well written.
