Review: A Must Read for Kinky Folk - Some years ago I heard that I absolutely must read this book. It was kink written by a kinky person. Well-written, even. I hopped over to desertcart to buy a copy for my Kindle and, after wincing at the price tag, I decided to read the sample before buying. Between us girls, I was completely turned off. After a rather compelling hook about how merchandise enters the Marketplace, we turn to a high protocol scene in which an elegant slave serves tea in high heels connected by a thin chain. Ah, perfection in service! [puke] No offense the high protocol tea crowd, but after briefly contemplating gouging my eyes out, I moved on. I came back to it eventually, somehow buying it having forgotten that I had decided never to ever read it. Having bought it, I recognized the tea scene, put away all sharp objects, struggled through those pages and… To put it mildly, this is the best porn ever. Beyond that, as fiction it stands on its own. The characters are three dimensional, the kink feels authentic, the sex is hot. Chris Parker initially appears as a side note, but mystery around both his person and his role in the household quickly take center stage. The would-be slaves he is responsible for training are full fleshed and change believably over the story. Parker, on the other hand, doesn’t change much – we just learn more about him. And the sex is hot (actually, I don’t remember which book it is in, but possibly the hottest sex scene in modern literature is to be found in the pages of this series). Oh, p.s. the tea scene is totally ironic commentary on the high protocol tea... so, yeah, you gotta get used to the fact that the book is making fun of people. Lots of people. Even probably you.
Review: What if you got what you wanted? - We all have our erotic fantasies. Some people dream of being schoolgirls or strict headmasters. Some people want to be treated like princesses or babies or pets. Maybe yours is to be the fresh meat in prison and passed around the cell block a few times. Or maybe you're the negotiably moral warden eho watches it all from the security room. 50 Shades of Grey reminded us that for many people, that fantasy is to be controlled, owned, and used for some else's pleasure. The Marketplace follows leather playboy Brian, sweet, innocent Claudia, sissy maid Robert and drama queen Sharon as they enter a world where that fantasy is reality. The four are applicants to a house that trains people to be sold into consensual slavery, and to our protagonists, thst seems like a dream come true. Until it doesn't quite turn out the way they expected. This is my fifth time rereading the Marketplace series, and it never leaves me wanting. There are characters to love, and characters to love to hate. The dialogue is clever and entertaining, the characters realistic even in their roles as caricatures, and the sex and kink are plenty steamy. This is kinky smut for people who need a side of plot with their sex, and some diversity in their universes. If the thought of serving, or being served is one of your kinks, then this book is a must read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good read
*by A***E on August 23, 2014*

The Marketplace is a secret society catering to those who wish to own well-trained slaves and those who wish to be sold as slaves. The book focuses on the four slaves Robert, Brian, Claudia, and Sharon, who all get accepted into a rigorous training program under Master Grendel and Mistress Alexandra on a beautiful estate in the countryside. Grendel and Alexandra are representatives for an international organization devoted to trading in submissive slaves, and Marketplace - the name of this organization - is the largest but also most secretive organization in existence for people with these unique interests. For a few weeks the four slaves are drilled into being perfect servants, and throughout the book steaming sex is mixed with moving portraits of people with but one goal in life: to become the perfect servant to a Master or a Mistress. Robert a shy heterosexual man with low self-esteem. Brian, a gay confident man. Sharon an erotic bombshell who is to having any man she wants. Claudia who already serves under Mistress Madeleine but is sent to the Marketplace in order to improve her skills. This was my first time reading this author and this book was pretty good the book was full of hot sex scenes. The book did have a few grammatical errors and for that I give it four stars because the errors got annoying. This book was also not for people who only want to read light BDSM it was training in all types. Overall this was a good read.
