Life was going well for psychologist Alexandra Blake.

Her career has taken off and she has been exploring her darkest sexual fantasies with her lover Jeremy Quinn.  But her bliss is rudely interrupted when she is abducted in London, caught up in a dangerous struggle between unscrupulous corporations.

Her captors want her to help them with their sexual experiments – pushing the boundaries of convention in the search for a drug to stimulate the female libido.  Bust at what cost?

How far will Alexandra be willing to go to satisfy her curiosity, both professional and personal?

What will she have to do to escape, and – more importantly – does she want to? 

My Thoughts

All I want to do is scream over and over at the main character, Alexandra, "WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!?"  And then continue to yell at the other character, Jeremy, " YOU ARE AN IDIOT!"  And then I continue to keep reading.  Why?  Because my curiosity always gets the better for me.  I have this need to know what happens in the end.

Through out the entire novel the author continues to make movie and historical references....comparing her "situation" to the movie Taken and events that happened during WWII and comparing herself to Anne Frank. WTF?  That had NOTHING to do with to story line, which may I add is still just as bizarre as the first book in the series.  There seems to be a few different genres happening through, I would hardy classify this entire novel as Erotica   There is some drama mixed in with mystery and the whole story line seems to be based around thriller.  A little all over the place for me, and this time the story told from both the perspectives of Alexandra and Jeremy alternating.

Another cliff hanger ending...damn it!!

It’s simple.  No sight.  No questions.  48 hours.

Dr. Alexandra Blake is about to give a series of prestigious lectures, but the butterflies in her stomach are for a far more exciting reason…

After the lecture she is meeting with Jeremy Quinn, esteemed doctor and dangerous ex-lover – the only person with whom she has ever let her guard down completely.  After a few glasses of champagne in his luxurious penthouse suite, Jeremy presents her with an intriguing offer: stay with him for the next forty-eight hours and accept two extraordinary conditions, the first of which leaves her utterly at his mercy, and he will give her an experience more sensual and extreme than any game that have ever played before. 

My Thoughts

I have read a ton of novels of this genre but I have to say this one of the more bizarre plots I have ever read.  To me, this isn't your typical erotica "love story."  I never like giving away plots so I won't say too much about it, but it was left me down right dumbfounded.  The author did an excellent job describing every detain the main character Alexandra felt, since she had no sight to rely on.  It is hard to to decide which character I dislike to most - Alexandra or Jeremy, there is a lot of deceitfulness and selfish acts that take place.  I thoroughly enjoyed the flashbacks throughout the novel, it kept the "spice" alive. 

The cliffhanger at the end intrigued me enough to want to read the next book in the series.  It astounds me the creativity that writers can dream up.  All in all it was an easy read, the writing style was good for a first time author.
