If you love capture erotica or erotic romance, coercion and that whole sex slave theme, I think you'll enjoy this story. I did. I thought it was very hot, but then I'm a big fan of those themes, actively searching out those books that give me this un-PC take on sex, domination, and submission. I know not everyone likes this power dynamic, where a woman is completely at the mercy of a man, but I really love it. So I tend to forgive or to overlook flaws in such a story, especially if the story gives me kidnapping, captive/sex slave, and some hot bdsm action all at the same time, which this story does.This is a story about Lynne, newly divorced and ready to start a new phase of her life, who ends up getting lost in the Appalachians. It's dark and snowy out, with the terrain growing more steep and remote, and not another person in sight. Just when she decides to turn her SUV around and backtrack, she catches a glimpse of movement. Not quite sure what it is, and with her nerves on edge, she guns her car, only then to see a man in the road. She swerves to miss him and slides in the ice and snow off the road and into a tree. From the impact, she passes out and wakes up five days later in a small cabin, all alone with a man who just broke out of prison.Jesse is huge, tattooed, scarred, and muscled, and he does look like a scary convict, very big, dangerous, and hard looking. Lynne recognizes him from TV and knows that he is a convicted rapist and murderer. She immediately thinks the same fate awaits her and that her only hope is to give him what he must want, sex, and to keep him wanting her around until she has a chance to run away from him.Despite his fearsome reputation and all he's been accused of doing, you know Jesse is going to be more than that. He takes care of Lynne, nursing her back to health. 'It was the first time another person had ever depended upon him for everything- from feeding them, to dressing their wounds, to bathing them.' He doesn't want Lynne to be afraid of him; he wants her to believe in him and his story.But for all of this, his good intentions, he is still a bad boy who has been without a woman for seven years. Knowing what he has been convicted of doing, Lynne desperately wants to please Jesse, to satisfy him, and to keep him happy, and Jesse is unable to turn down her sweet compliance and submission. It calls to everything dark in him. This is his kink: a woman eager to please, a woman naked save for only a dog collar and chain, a woman bound and submitting to his complete sexual dominance.The story is short, only around 900 locations, but, given that, it still manages to do a lot for me. For what it was, this story gave me exactly what I love. I thought Jesse was a total turn-on. He is the archetype of the sexy, dominating alpha male, all tough but vulnerable, flawed but perfect in so many ways. I loved him.This story is so very HOT, but only if you like these sorts of themes. This story doesn't pretend to be something it's not. It was some damn good captive erotica/ER. And unlike other stories with the same themes, this story does not have any hard bdsm elements. There is no discipline, punishment, pain or humiliation. There is only a very sexy and dominant male with a bondage fetish and a real thing for a submissive woman who asks, 'Should I go to the bed or to my knees?'
