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

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)
