rated 6 / 10: read to pass the time

There's a sub-genre of chicklit where the heroine is completely in thrall to the "hero". Usually it's a vampire story. I guess that being a slave must appeal to some readers.

This book is edging into the master-slave sub-genre.

The plot is a series of episodes of a slave being tortured, subjugated and humiliated, with strong and violent sex. The slave may be male or female. The master is always male. Between episodes the character will escape -- to be very quickly recaptured, ready to be subjected to more violence and violent sex.

I would have rated this at five, readable if there is nothing else. Yet the violent sex was arousing. Sick but arousing. So I added a point to my rating, for good porn.
