Duped:

by Lena White

What if the South won the Civil War?

For one thing, it would be known as the Confederate War of Independence.

For another thing, slavery would still be the law of their land…

~ ~ ~

When Grace gets invited to an ‘experience’ south of the Mason-Dixon line, she’s more than a bit skeptical.

She’s never visited the Confederate States of America in her life.

But when her best friend talks her into going, she gets cautiously excited.

It’s supposed to be a fun, enlightening experience, the likes of which she’s never contemplated.

Until their fun day trip turns into something she never could have anticipated.

And something that can’t be undone…

About the author

I have always loved books.

For me, that meant I have always wanted to be a writer. In 2013, I made it happen when I discovered the new world of self-publishing.

I love to write – there’s almost nothing I’d rather be doing. I still love reading, but writing is more active and satisfying. I can honestly say I will never stop. After all this time, it’s who I am.

I began my career in one genre, but now I’m exploring others. I will experiment with different pen names and new personas as I go, but I’ll always be the same person, the same writer, who loves the craft and the people who make it possible.

Readers like you.

This book was so boring I felt myself falling asleep multiple times. Also I started skipping whole paragraphs about 2/3 of the way into the book. It's only 90 pages. There is no excuse for how boring this was.

Also, I knew what I was getting with this book, but I felt like there was a little bit of racist undertones that were unnecessary for a purely smut book.

The CSA didn't lose but slavery is not what it was and with even slave for a weekend or week tours. Lena does it again! An adult flavored civil war take on “The Man in the High Castle” by Philip K Dick Lena puts an erotic flair as only she can on a history where the South didn’t lose and a resultant America and a Confederate States of America that exists south of the Mason Dixon line. There was a lot to be accomplished in this short novelette such as universe building, character development as well as an exciting storyline that sucks the reader in. This was successfully done, and the plots and deceptions all bring this together as a story that will leave one wanting for the sequel. The potential for many stories is high in how this first book was presented. Be prepared with how modern slavery has changed from the labor intensity of the past. Anxiously awaiting the second book.

I initially thought this was a history reimagined romance and had no idea it was smut having said that when the book started and her friend kept referring to the United States of the confederacy and slaves as being sexy I just thought whoever wrote this book has to be racially tone deaf because who the F thinks it’s a great idea to turn something that was such a horrible blite on our history into a sex novella either the author is not from America or so self obsessed and overly confident that she believes this is a great idea there’s even other Novelas after this one and I just want to say anyone who’s reading this and enjoying the storyline must be blind to the tragedy of slavery because who reads this knowing that and think any of it is hot. Being a slave is not fun nor sexy nor aturn on and I get it people like dirty nasty stuff and do you but this is just ridiculous and way too much. Just disgusting.

I rate this short, introductory book to a series - 3-4 stars, although many readers will really enjoy it more than me. The premise of the book is about a young girl getting duped into sexual slavery. The journey is descriptive and the bondage is complete. I enjoy reading about total power exchanges so the story caught and held my interest. Where I knock it down a star, is the lack of “heat” in the sexual scenes…and isn’t this why you read or listen to this genre? Granted this was only book 1 so things might have caught fire in later books, but I’m going to skip this series and not give up on this author’s creative mind for future book purchases.

Totally CRAZY 😁

You never respect your freedom until you lose it and some people will go out of their way to do so 😯. Conned by classmates into going to check out the south where the Confederacy never lost the war and therefore slavery still exists, Grace loses her freedom 😱. Thanks Lena, I truly enjoyed reading this story and look forward to reading more 🤓.

Lena White gives us an outstanding example of a type of literature, usually written by women, in which a woman finds herself forced into sex slavery, through blackmail, kidnapping etc.
In this case, we're introduced to the New Confederacy, which has implausibly evolved from enslaved black labor to slavery of young, white women who are compelled to become sex slaves, with their slavery enforced by the legal and police system.
The women, who have superhuman recuperative powers, are tortured and compelled to engage in sex a ridiculous number of times per day.
Now, given this setup, Lena White does a great job. The writing is vivid, and the characterizations are realistic and believable. Some of the features are a stretch. Would a busload of high school girls really cross an international border for the "Slave Experience?," which involves caging, forced sex, and torture? And, what kind of demographics does the Confederacy that there are so many young white women available for slavery?
Should you read this series? Yes. Once you meet Grace and involve yourself in her plight, you can't resist buying one book after another. This series is top drawer...much better than most of the sex slave literature.
And, although I'm not sure Ms. White intended this, you have to ask yourself why this trope - the young woman forced to cope when she is enslaved and compelled to have sex with strangers - why this is so compelling?
If something like the New Confederacy existed, would there be support for sex slavery? I think probably yes. I think there would be a lot fewer large expensive pickup trucks as the male population saved its pennies to finance the purchase of a girl or girls who had to do what the owner wanted under legal compulsion. Tough break for the free women who would like to have relationships in which the partners are equal.
Buy this series. You'll love Grace. Even the ancillary books about the other characters are damn good. But the main part of the series, focused on Grace, are just outstanding.

Grace, aged somewhere around 18 (presumably at least that old), is talked into going to a particular birthday party by her friend. A party for someone in the 'popular group'. Grace is not a member of that group. It took me about five or six months to read this very short book, so I don't actually recall now, but I've a vague recollection that Grace didn't even paricularly care about popular/not-popular dynamics, etc. etc., but cared about her friend and her friend cared about trying to 'break in' to the popular group.

Birthday party turned out to involve going to a nearby country to the south of Grace's current country. A country that developed after the south won back in the 1860s. Slavery didn't die, and, it appears, is set up to give 'real experiences' of what it is like to be a slave. Up close, in person. Which is what the birthday party is about - going to that slave country, and being treated as a slave for a day or week. Their specific party was to be there for a night.

I really like the story that Lena has created here. I've read all the books in the series and currently I'm re-reading them, they're that much fun.

I've only dinged the ratings one star due to some of the wording being a bit awkward, but the books really improve in that respect. It's hugely rewarding to read the entire series so I definitely recommend doing so.

Alternate history. Wow!
My first from this author and it is very dark and hot.
Rich girl's party trip to the Confederacy to try slavery for a day, but there's a catch.
On to the next book.

Hooked Line and Sinker

So entranced with the inevitable humiliation befalling so heavily upon our innocent heroine. Such a delightful place to be found captured?
