Captive Couple by Laran Mithras

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


Review based on a .99 copy. I read and review erotica and found "My Wife's Seduction" free, by Laran Mithras. I found it a good sexy read. I looked at a few of the other offerings by this author believing they wrote mainly wife sharing erotica either forced or volunteered. I guess that's what I thought I would get when checking out a second book. I was looking for a steamier version of the free book seeing I was paying now, but it was only lukewarm and in a way I wasn't into.

Reading the reviews I think I had the same trouble as others, the sex scene/scenes. I like detail in my erotica with one exception, 'forced rape'. Detailed rape has gotten books banned from Amazon as it should. So then we have 'when does forced become invited?' or once you start with forced rape is invited wrong there after (only invited to keep from being hurt, invited because of mental trauma, invited because they have given up hope) like a slippery slope.

So with that being said can there be a detailed sex scene based on forced then invited rape and without detail is it just a story? This is the first issue I have, walking back and forth over the erotica line. I can live with that, with this being just another cookie cutter MC story with a weird twist.

So now I'm reviewing an MC story with an interesting plot start that involves rape. I have been in the company of more than one 1%'er MC during my time as a rock singer, even with the christian slant, if they are killing people they fit the 1%'er title no longer being a 'riding club'. Now we have my second issue, killing and rape, but you have to have God/ Jesus Christ in your heart. Killing drug dealers can be a necessary evil while still viewing yourself as a Christian MC, but not the killing of good guys (Fed's) or the raping of the innocent. The fact that it was done by the club leader makes it harder to fit in. I'll skip the whole "She sure got over her rape trauma quick because 'It felt really good' thing". So how could this have been saved and still keep the basic plot? How about making the mistake makers and rapers lower members of the club who were disciplined for their ungodly wrong doing? Maybe the leader not knowing she was a rape victim and thinking she was a club girl when he takes her. That would still keep a 'maybe' workable story line going.

All in all this is the first review that didn't sit well with me, I felt like I had started one book with one plot and jumped into another book with a different more biblical plot. The writing is done well, erotica is lukewarm, and last a feeling that - erotica, rape, wife sharing, and God/Christian values don't belong in the same story...
