Enslaved
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time seemed to be an occupation of Minuets. Crippled in a car accident at nineteen, walking in on her husband and his lover at thirty. Coming across a bank robbery at forty and just recently losing her job at forty eight because her boss was having a bad day. Minuet thought it couldn't possibly get any worse. She was mistaken. Who would have thought finding a gorgeous hunk of a man on the forest floor in need of her aid would be a bad thing?
Holding the man's head in her lap and promising to find him aid Minuet finds herself looking down the business end of a futuristic weapon. Before she can explain she means the man no harm she is shot and killed by his comrade. When Minuet opens her eyes she finds herself on a strange ship in a strange body married to a strange man. Her 'husband' Chason hates her, his best friend Rance is in love with her and the only way she can prove she is not a Zain spy out to enslave the planet Zanuth with her dancing is to be at the right place at the right time.

About the author
C.L. Scholey
99 books457 followersBorn and raised in Ontario, C. L. Scholey developed her passion for writing through her love of reading books as a child. Her first book was contracted in Oct 2009 the very same month her first grand son was born. C. L. Scholey still lives in Ontario, in a rural community with her husband and daughter.
From the author:
Hello, I'm Connie! Now that we've met how about I tell you a little about me? I love to write, it's like having a super power.
I was born and raised in Ontario...yes I'm Canadian, no I don't live in an igloo, no I've never pet a polar bear, but I have run into a few black bears, seen wolves, moose, coyotes and I think there's a hundred pound squirrel in my attic.
I spend as much time as I can get away with looking for rocks in Bancroft. When I'm not in Bancroft I live in a small town, so people know me when they see me. Some ask me what I'm working on--some even ask me in a regular voice not a whisper.
I get bored easily, it's why one day I'll be working on assassins, the next Sci-fi, then Vikings, then vampires, then planning world domination--wait, what?
Moving on. I love animals and we have a dog, 120p mastiff. He's great with the kids and careful around them, but he'd run me over for a piece of bologna. Otherwise he loves us.
If you want to get to know me better join me on FB or twitter. Right now I need to change back into a mom, it's my best super power.

Only 80 pages but so different from the expected alien mate abduction genre. But then, that's no surprise for this author, she's always stepping outside thebox and making it work.

I finished reading this book late last night and this morning I'm struggling to write a review...still tired I guess.
Minuet wakes to a strange new world. In fact she wakes to a brand new, for her, body. It's younger and better looking without the defects of her old body. Only this is not a new body, it's someone else's body. In storms her husband and his beta. He is an alpha. Well, not HER husband but the bodies husband, and he is not a happy man. He's a betrayed one.
Minuet does manage to prove she is not who they think, despite outward appearances. Only in this world it means she has to do things she has never had to do before...like dance. Minuet's old body needed a brace, and she walked with a pronounced limp with the aid of a walking stick. She had been badly injured in an accident at 19.
Now there is a lot of somewhat confusing information about this planet and it's customs that Minuet is now on a crash course to learn and it did make me shake my head a few times trying to get it all straight in my head. Chason is basically a good guy who has been badly betrayed by the previous possessor of Minuet's body and he takes awhile to get over that. His beta, Rance, seems besotted but sweet.
My biggest complaint with this story was how old Minuet acted, especially the way she spoke, mainly in the beginning.
She is 48 years old, she sounds like she's about 88! I am 47, nearly 48, I have friends and family around the same age and older and NONE of us talk like that! Body wise, I know we all age differently, and Minuet has had a pretty hard luck life so I'll give you she may look and feel differently about her body than the average 48 year old. I repeat, 48 is NOT OLD!
The ending was a little more abrupt then I would have liked and I think an epilogue would have been nice. I like epilogues :)

Une fois de plus, c'est un moment de détente et de délire avec C.L. Scholey. Enslaved n'a pas dérogé à la règle, c'est érotique, c'est épique et c'est complètement dingue et à prendre au 10ème degrés (volontairement ou pas). Quiproquos, espionnages, guerres et amour, on ne s'ennuie pas un seul instant dans cet univers fou furieux !
Minuet est une quarantenaire qui n'a pas eu la vie facile, un mari infidèle, une famille insensible, un corps fragile, abîmé et qui tombe facilement malade, elle est même sur le point de se retrouver à la rue. Puis du jour au lendemain sa vie change, y comprit son corps et sa voix ! Même si son apparence a changé, qu'elle a le corps d'une déesse et que cela lui attire une tonne d'ennuis, elle reste toujours la même femme douce, aimante et tolérante.
Chason et Rance sont deux guerriers extra-terrestre d'une planète où les habitants vivent sous terre et qui sont regroupés par clans, dans un système rappelant les meutes. Ceux sont de puissants mercenaire et Chason a été subjugué par une étrangère qu'il a épousé et qui s'avère être une espionne. Chason et son bras droit, Rance, sont de total opposés : l'un est dominateur, tête brûlé et violent, pendant que l'autre est compréhensif, aimant et réfléchit. Ils se complètent totalement, ce qui est plus que nécessaire dans leur culture de ménage à 3, voir à plus.
L'histoire est plus que prévisible à partir de l'instant où l'on comprend que Minuet se retrouve dans le corps de la femme de Chason. On commence par des cris et de l'intolérance, puis on termine par le grand amour à 3 avec une victoire à la clé. En chemin bien entendu on a notre lot de scènes érotiques plus ou moins épicées et qui sont en accord avec l'univers de l'auteure. Bataille, apprentissage, rire et enquête, rien de bien surprenant, mais cela reste agréable à lire, surtout pour passer une petite heure à se reposer l'esprit.

An interesting book
Though the description of this book did not appeal to me, the cover did. I decided to give it a chance. Whoa-baby! I was not expecting such an interesting description of these beings. The light humor was very good. I felt the story was lacking in some areas, like more interaction between characters mentioned, but it was still 5 star worthy for a short read. If you need a short break from reality or a quick fix...This book is the one to read. I wish this story was longer with more development, but it was still very good for a shorter story.

Good story with a different plot from any I've read previously. Endearing characters.

Enslaved
This book is pretty good. A real easy read that flows. Not a lot of drama which I like sometimes.
