Enslaved

The Blaze novels sometimes are interesting, exciting and/or erotic and sometimes they leave me cold. Enslaved definitely falls in the first category. This novel is set at a resort in the Catskill Mountains of New York State, called Eden. It is a super-secret all-inclusive resort created by and for women only. There women may "purchase" men for a period up to a month. The resort includes an area that sounds like "Downtown Disney" at WDW, only Downtown Disney certainly does not have a fantasy pavilion! The novel begins when Navy SEAL Chad Hunter is asked by his admiral to infiltrate Eden as a male escort in order to ascertain the whereabouts of his son, an ex-SEAL who entered Eden six months ago and has not been seen since. Meanwhile, Brittany is forced to go to Eden by her mother, one of the resort's founders. Her mother feels that Brittany has been living in a shell since her divorce from a philandering husband and that it is time to recover fully, including dating men. The best way, she thinks, is to jump into a pool where all the men are gorgeous and available! (Sounds like a plan to me!) Brittany and Chad meet on the first night at a mixer and Brittany's mother, seeing the interest Brittany tries to hide, purchases Chad for her daughter for a month. Brittany and Chad then stay together at her mother's cottage at the resort. While Chad is looking for the admiral's son, he is also seducing Brittany. Eventually, Chad confides in Brittany and they search together to a surprising conclusion. During the course of their search they use two rooms in the fantasy pavilion a bondage room and a star-themed room. The bondage room scene is not scary, IMO, so don't worry if you hear bondage and think whips and chains. The sexual tension is high and the sex scenes highly erotic. I hope the author continues writing novels using this resort and we get to see all of the rooms in the fantasy pavilion!
