4.25stars.  Welcome to a Nouvelle Vie (A New Life) where the disclaimers include don't cross your legs around us. In the interest of complete disclosure, I didn't care for how contrived the situation felt to start this story and it colored my complete enjoyment of the book.After finding herself painted in a corner, Lydia indentures herself to Gabriel, Kruin & Preston as a sex slave for an indefinite period. Throughout the book the sex is flaming hot for this quartet.  The character personalities were well defined and there was never a chance of confusion which character or character set was currently front and center. In my mind they were clearly: Safe Harbor/Gabriel (sheltering arms and all); Rock of Gibraltar/Kruin (ever sure & clear with expectations and; Ocean/Preston (deceptively calm and treacherously dangerous simultaneously). Lydia (of course was the ship in my scenario) finding her place here is quite beguiling.  I also somehow felt a little let down by the last 10% of the book - it felt a tad uneven.Make no mistake if you are not into erotica this is definitely not the book for you.  However if erotica is your poison - grab this book.  The cover is exquisite; the sexual set pieces are flamingly hot. It is well written, with an intriguing plot and intertwining characters that keep you reading and not a waste of time.I wanted to love this book but I didn't - I liked it quite a bit.  Again my personal mindset kept me from loving it.
