When Jack Sawyer discovers his CFO Ellen Sanchez is embezzling from the company, his first thought is to call the police. But Ellen begs him not to, promising to repay the money however she can. Ellen is a beautiful woman and Jack begins to think of other ways she could repay him. He makes her the office sex slave – and business is booming!
This is not a romance novel. This is pure sleaze and nastiness, but if you are into seeing a high and mighty, modern professional woman with stunning good looks brought low -- and I mean really low -- by a cold, manipulative, ruthless man, this book is one to hide away and savor!
I won't get detailed, as I am writing this at work (naughty me!) but Ellen really meets her match in Jack. In just a 100 pages she goes from a professional woman in a suit to a SLUT who gets off on being pawed, poked, paraded around and drooled over by teenage delivery boys, fat old men, and more!
In a way this is not only a gloriously INCORRECT male fantasy, it's also a dystopian study of mind control and brain-washing comparable to A CLOCKWORK ORANGE by Anthony Burgess. Can humans really be re conditioned in this way? Does society force all of us into sexual roles we find frightening? Do blue collar people really lust after white collar women in this hungry, envious way? In some ways the music of Bruce Springsteen raises similar questions -- but Springsteen never wrote about stuff like this!
One teeny-tiny complaint. I understand why Ellen becomes "El," because she's less and less a person as the story goes on. But as an Elvis fan, I found the nickname "El" a turnoff. It sounds like Ellen is really Elvis, or she's wearing an Elvis jumpsuit, and to me that's just ewwww!
Loved this book and would gladly give it a four, but I can't quite give it a five! You see, I like my books hot, very very hot. And I don't mind at all when a young miss is forced to learn her place and become obedient, providing she enjoys it more and more till she can't ever seem to get enough!
But . . . however . . . nevertheless . . .
I expect my heroines to end up conquering, not being enslaved forever. They may give in, they may like being mastered, but the very fact of submission should awaken something tender and protective inside the hero. He should start out hating her, sure, all right. But little by little her submission undermines him, wears him down. Tenderness starts slipping into his feelings for her, little by little. And by the end, he should be begging her to marry him!
None of that lot happens here, which is why only the four stars. But oh, if you want everything I've just described, and more, you've got to check out CRYSTAL AND GOLD by Carol Storm, one of the really naughty but nice authors they've got over at Blushing Books. Crystal and Gold is just like this book but with more humor, likable characters, and a real romance!
Okay, I will say a few things. This is NOT a romance novel. Jack is a jerk. I loved it when he made Ellen submit, but I hated the way he kept using her AND sharing her with other men even AFTER she was clearly his alone and begging for him to claim her. That to me was the deal breaker.
Probably a 3.5 stars. I liked it. It was a hot book, but I wished that the female character had kept part of her personality. She ended too robotic for me, not really believable unless she was on drugs.
This hit close to all the enjoyable kinks. The naughty Ellen is taught there are consequences to her actions. This book becomes a TPE from her to Jack. Love it.
Ok, where to begin. I've enjoyed this author's work published at Ellora's Cave (Slave Planet & Wanted) so I was really looking forward to reading this one. Maybe it was my lack of not reading the blurb carefully but this book ended up kind of offending me. I'm not going to rate it, but I feel like the humiliation factor was taken to all all time high. As a reader I find it really hard to relate to a woman who is turning tricks (ie Office Hoe) to avoid jail time for embezzlement. She is forced to show her body to every one in the office and is often referred to as "Slut'. Some of the sex scenes are pretty hard to take in a sense that I felt she was degraded. I have a really strong sense of disbelief but even I couldn't 'go there' with this book. I think I stopped thinking of this as 'romance' when El was forced to have sex with men without condoms.
If you enjoy hardcore submissive/borderline humiliation then this is probably more up your reading alley. This one just isn't for me.
The story has the elements I like to see in a erotic novel; a professional woman that gets caught red-handed and is blackmailed into providing sexual favours. So it should come as no surprise that this was a story I've read before, but there was very little new to be found in Office Slave. I would have liked the physical and mental transformation to have taken longer, it was far too quick and not with enough resistance. After the initial submission to her fate, the main character Ellen doesn't put up any fight to preserve who she is and in that this book looses all claims at being believable. I know it's all fantasy and fiction, but if I can't image it happen somewhere I won't ever truly enjoy it.
This book just doesn't hit my primary button of psychological revelation and thus the score reflects my preferences as well as style and execution. The premise was fine. CFO turned office slut for revenue increasing after defrauding the company, but there was little to no emotional exploration. The sexual encounters were empty parades of "fit tab A into slot B". I didn't care about the main character El and neither did her master, Jack. In the end, other than some naughty, voyeuristic thrill that plays on the doing politically incorrect things in the workplace I was uninterested.
Even though the plot is a standard porn meme - employee commits a crime, and is blackmailed by boss - I found this version somehow refreshing, mainly because the employee brings so much gusto to her slave role, after discovering she really enjoys being dominated, embarrassed, exhibited, and humiliated.
This was one of the first BDSM novels I ever read, and while its not terribly realistic in a "Could this happen in the real world" sort of way, its a super hot BDSM fantasy.
There are a number of scenes that were so hot, and I really enjoyed it.
I don't often review books, but this was such an offensive pile of misogynistic crap that I can't hold back. I found the premise ,that a highly educated woman, even lacking in self esteem and in possession of bad judgement, could after an involuntary year of mild degradation, humiliation and the forced addition of nipple rings and a clit ring rename herself slut and basically forget she is anything but a human toilet, it totally ridiculous and offensive to women. Seriously, a chain for her nipple rings,a bigger dangle on her clit ring and an apartment in the factory is enough that she forgets she has an education, a name, any type of life and the existence of the entire world outside of the factory, whose employees trickle thru to "use" her to the tune of 10 to 12 a day while in between she plays with her jewelry and looks forward to the next friendly person to come "visit" her She even wonders why she (a CPA) can't add numbers anymore and wonders if it is because the clit ring has stolen all the blood from her brain. WTF! A few months later at the "year" point she can't even remember what her "other" job had been and oh pretty let me play with my clit ring some more. Totally repugnant reading. The book was nothing but a long train pulling of sex encounters, all at juvenile level and lacking in detail. I had heard a lot of good about this author and was horribly disappointed. Thankfully it was short unfortunately it was so offensive all I can hope is that it the memory of it's reading fades quickly.
I found this to be spellbinding. A little unbelievable, especially her mental state by the end of the book. But to enjoy a book like this I find suspension of reality helps a lot.
The book starts at a strong pace, diving straight into the action with believable characters and engaging erotic content. However, as the story progresses, the believability of the characters—particularly the protagonist, El—quickly dissolves. El’s character undergoes a jarring transformation, morphing into an almost cartoonish "super slut" who fully embraces her new role without any meaningful resistance. The inner conflict that initially defined her— the tension between her body’s desires and her mind’s reluctance—is entirely abandoned. It is precisely this internal struggle, the push and pull of reluctant submission and humiliation, that gives erotic novels of this genre their depth and erotic charge. Once the protagonist accepts her fate both body and mind with little to no ongoing conflict, the narrative loses its psychological tension and erotic potency, ultimately reducing the book to a rather generic and low-grade erotic tale.
