Punished

by Kimberly Zant

Marlee has a secret she dare not divulge, and it isn't something that will withstand the scrutiny of a criminal investigation. When the computer system at the law firm where she works is hacked and critical information filched, she discovers she could be looking at jail time and begs them for the chance to repay them in whatever manner they see fit. The sentence is six months hard time-with six young Contemporary Erotica. Contains explicit sex, graphic language, and some scenes of sex with multiple partners.Author Kimberly Zant was first published by Harlequin Enterprises in 1994 under the pen name of Madris Dupree after nearly a decade of ‘apprenticeship’ --struggling to learn the business, the marketing, and the writing skills necessary for a career in commercial fiction. That ‘first’ published book, a historical, (which was actually her fourth attempt at a marketable piece of fiction) was successful, however, selling nearly 80,000 copies in the U.S., Switzerland, France, and the U.K. Writing wasn’t actually her first career OR her first love, though, despite a life-long love of books. It was her third career.Her first career was in the then just emerging computer science field. After studying computer programming, she worked in the computer field from seventeen into her twenties—starting at the data processing center of the college she attended. She worked at the J.C. Penney catalogue distribution center in Atlanta, at the University of South Florida in Tampa, and South Georgia Medical Center in Valdosta until she met the future father of her children and married for the second time.Her second career (and the one dearest to her heart) was in motherhood. She began writing so that she could bring in an income and still stay at home to rear her children. One son, three daughters, 7 grandchildren (and counting), and a gazillion pets later, she now lives in the ‘castle’ she designed and (partly) built herself (the woodworking, anyway) with her boyfriend, Benjamin, a native, Native American—(they have DNA proof!)-- And her two miniature horses, Napoleon and Stormy. Sadly, Napoleon lost his Josephine, but he’s enjoying a new romance with Stormy, a pretty little golden palomino only recently acquired.Kimberly has a wide variety of interests. She writes various genres (or sub-genres since she always writes romance!) under different pen names. Kimberly Zant is the author name used for erotica.Titles by this FeudDouble Impact (co-written with Raven Willow-Wood)FourplayGoldilocksHeart of MidnightThe InvitationMen at The Pool Man (Coming Soon)No Holes MissingPandora's BoxReunionSex Slave SubmissionSex Slave PunishedSex Slave Punished Alt (alternative version)Sex Slave SurrenderSnow White and the Seven HunksThis author also writes under the pen names K.M.

Story wasn't as bad as title made it sound. It was not heavy BDSM - more just the heroine having lots of sex with 6 guys. Our heroine in the story was not unhappy with situation. The story thankfully didn't end up with heroine still in a relationship with all six men.
I wouldn't say "must read" unless you love Zant madly but not a bad read. I enjoyed it. It felt like a guilty treat.

Kimberly Zant is one of Kaitlyn O'Connor's many pen names.

I enjoyed this contemporary mfm quickie... actually more like mfmmmmm!!

I rated it a 2.5, but that's mostly because it just wasn't well-written (mechanics) rather than because I didn't like the basic story. With more pages and development, this could have been so much better. It's written differently than most of O'Connor's work in that it isn't funny, but it's cute. There are slight similarities in the guys' personalities to her other mfm groups, i.e. a sweet guy, a sensitive one, the Alpha type, and so on.

Carly Bethea is on the run from her stalkerish ex-husband, who even tried to frame her for drug possession to get revenge. (Ok, that part just didn't make sense to me.) Anyway, she finally moves several states away from him and takes on the identity of her deceased childhood friend, Marlee Beauchamp. She gets a file clerk job at a law office. She is low-tech, over thirty, and a BBW (oh, of course... snore).

One day she's called in by the 6 attorneys in the practice, who inform her she's suspected of helping someone hack the computers in order to get information on a case. Then the whole story devolves into Marlee/Carly having to spend 6 months as a sex plaything for the attorneys to atone for something she didn't do. (It's more like fun and games in a gorgeous luxury log cabin.)

I know I shouldn't like this story. Plot holes, not developed, too short... yada, yada, but I did. The guys were sweet to Marlee. There's even an HEA!

I don't really have much to say on this one. I enjoyed the book, but not one of my favorites. Good sex scenes, but felt rushed at the end.

Everybody has their opinions. The way I saw this. This is a sex fantasy read that a woman would have. And that's how it was written. And that's how I saw it. I enjoyed it, and I'm not ashamed to admit it!
Yes, this is chalked full with sex, but that's okay.
A definite reread in the future.

This was a bit too much for me. The storyline wasn't in my lexicon of belief. I don't mind this type of book but it should be more believable.

Anthology - part of An Alpha Christmas: Holiday Tales of Werewolves, Dragons, Shifters, Demons and More

I got to the part where this group of guys made the woman sit there with her legs spread while they work. These are guys she barely knows. It seemed more like a humiliation game to them than anything else so I could not finish. The last two stories by this author (pen name Kaitlyn O'ConnorKaitlyn O'Connor) have been disappointing. It's kind of funny that she really does seem to change personas when she's writing under another name. I could not finish this book so no rating.
