Wickedly perverse and sexy. The author is a master at describing
sexuality and always leaves you wanting more. Dowd is one of my
favorite authors.   4 out of 5  (TallD)

I really enjoyed this lustfully exciting story of cruel and
humiliating bondage via abduction!   The characters were nicely
developed, and I quickly made an emotional connection with the two
families.  An A+ read for fans of BDSM material!  Would LOVE to see
this author create some illustrations to further bring his stories to
life.   5 out of 5  (rope)

Good read. Well written. Enough twists, turns and kink to keep it
interesting.  4 out of 5  (Fred)

Great story and outstanding read! Looking forward to part 2.  5 out of
5  (LP)

Good story in that the author gets right into the meat of the tale
without a long preamble. The descriptions of bondage gear is enough to
satisfy any reader without the fine details that bore one to tears.
Much of it is predictable but there is plenty to hang your hat on. A
group of nine people, family and friends, are tricked into a vacation
that leads them to Auction Island where they are enslaved, trained and
eventually most are sold. I would have appreciated knowing how one
couples parents, total eleven trainee slaves, got involved before
their children. All in all a book worth reading. I am almost finished
with book 2 and it is just as good.  4 out of 5  (Stark47)

Absolutely enjoyed it, truly as good as the title implies!   An
excellent installment that stays focused on the main characters with
an exciting twist or two.   What Ken had to do to his wife and
daughter was nothing less than mind blowing for me.  A must read for
the fans of deep humiliation and much more.  5 out of 5

A fantastic mini series within the Talistan series.  Families in hard
bondage and forced to submit has always been very intriguing and
entertaining for me.  Highly recommended for those who enjoy intense
stories of nonconsensual B&D and enslavement.   An A+!  5 out of 5

a very good enthralling book. just wondering what else they can come
up with to torment the family  5 out of 5  (saffler)

Love the concept of the story, the various scenes and scenarios but a
couple were just silly and these spoiled it for me giving a 5.   4 out

Very well written. Hucow is nicely done.  5 out of 5  (karmalslav)

A fantastic new installment in the Talistaun series.  The new
characters provide a range of story lines to follow and look forward
to reading the next part.  Although the sub title states book 7 these
are all new characters and can be enjoyed without previously reading
parts 1 to 6.    5 out of 5  (Jason)

the book is up to his normal standard , making it hard to put down. ow
excited for the next book   5 out of 5  (saffler)

Excellent, well told story.  Anyone who enjoys a strong BDSM story
will be very pleased with this one.  Nicely paced, detailed and action
packed, it's hard to put down. Another winner from this author.  5 out
of 5  (rp)

A big thumbs up for this book. WL's creativity and story telling
skills are very good.  Non-con bondage is what it is, but he managed
to bring the characters and the details of their raw emotions to life.
For me, it was a strange sense of sorrow for the couples while my
excitement climbed and climbed.    4 out of 5  (dom)

This is another great book by the author.   I love reading about
‘families’ and the humilation of watching other members of the
family being forced to do things or have things done to them.   I
can’t wait for the next book(s).  5 out of 5  (Chicagossl)

Another excellent piece of exciting BDSM story telling by this author.
 I was a bit skeptical of a pregnant woman in such a story, but Dowd
managed to make it a huge sexy turn on for me.  Can't wait to see
what's ahead for the families in the next book.  A+, definitely
recommended.  5 out of 5  (MS)

Ok continuation of the story with some interesting twists but not
really very exciting.  3 out of 5  (Stark47)

Another fine installment from W.L.Dowd! The ranch is starting to fill
up with new slaves and the maybe the Shackels have gotten more than
they bargained for in their deal with the Sultan. I'm looking forward
to reading about the suprise to come in part 3.    5 out of 5  (J)

In my opinion a sequel rarely holds up to the original, but in this
case it rivals the first! I really enjoyed the couples abductions and
degrading misery, and the intense whipping scene on the deck was
nearly perfect.  5 out of 5  (kirk)

Another entertaining book by this talented author. I liked how the
pony theme was weaved into the fabric of the story while not
dominating the entire story with nothing but. If Dowd holds true to
form, I expect to another installment which I look forward to.  4 out

An excellent read and enjoyed a lot. A great story that wasn’t as
predictable as you might think. Some surprises for sure and very
erotic with BDSM and forced slavery.   5 out of 5  (dom)

Exactly my cup of tea. Couples and friends bound and driven into
degrading slavery together and the breast bondage and nipple torture
was enthralling. The emotional bonds between the characters was a real
turn on. Please bring on part 3.  5 out of 5  (slaver)

A very nicely paced and descriptive story of abduction, slavery,
degrading bondage and domination, punishment and harsh training.  The
servant’s punishment scene was particularly memorable for me.
Definitely a story that any fan of forced B&D and enslavement will
enjoy.  4 out of 5

Much slower and less interesting than the original.  2 out of 5

I love ponygirl/boy stories but this one is a bit too tame. The
captives retain their humanity too easily and the action is virtually
consensual.   3 out of 5  (NickC)

Excellent story, as expected. Very creative, and well done. A real
throbber for sure!  5 out of 5

An interesting new setting with several newly enslaved couples. I also
enjoyed the connections to the author's previous Talistaun series but
the story stands on its own very well.  5 out of 5  (Jason)

Husband and wife couples in bondage, humiliation and forced into
training side by side is my absolute favorite thing! This book nailed
it X3 and I’m anxiously waiting for part 2. Please keep this one
going Mr. Dowd.  5 out of 5  (Timmy)

I couldn’t get enough of this one, another spellbinding story in
Dowd style. I reread the ‘conjugal’ scene at the foreign prison
several times. I actually found myself feeling for the suffering
couples even though my joystick was at full attention! Per the
author’s request for feedback, yes, I want more, bring it on.  5 out
of 5  (Rick)

Well written and stimulating. Could have used a little more action at
the very end.  4 out of 5  (Mr. pushup)

Linda became a polarizing character for me. Caught in irreversible
circumstances, her surrender into lesbianism as an enslaved sex toy
for her captors was enjoyable. The only thing that could have made
this story better was if during the ringing scene, the husbands were
forced to pierce their own wives nipples, before allowing the ladies
to return the favor.  5 out of 5  (TD)

Very good read  5 out of 5  (Hadult)

A real PLEASURE to read! Nicely paced and well thought out.
