Simone Rivers writes Interracial BWWM Romance with smart & strong heroines and supportive alpha heroes. Funny thing: a lot of these heroes also just happen to be billionaires with rock-hard abs. She loves hanging with her writing buds (a cat who likes to sit on her computer, and a dog who always wants to go on walks), and spending time with her family.
I discovered this book that I bought 4 years ago while looking for interracial romance books. This was more than an interracial romance. It was very graphic, descriptive and extremely erotic. There was practically no story, just pornographic sex. What story there was, was simply unbelievable.
Natasha was step sister to a sheikh, Chase, yet she allowed herself be auctioned so she could be with Ahmed, another sheikh and Chase's best friend. Chase knew that Ahmed engaged in dark sex. Ahmed had wanted Natasha for a long time but knew she was off limits because of Chase. When she came up for auction, he intended to save her and return her to her family.
However, he gave in to his lust and engaged in sex, sex, and more sex. No way could a virgin endure the type of sex he engaged with her - disgustingly so. Even when Chase found that she was with Ahmed, he simply accepted that nothing was happening between them. Once he discovered them engaged in a sexual relationship, after being angry for a couple of days, he accepted their relationship.
The book was over 80% erotic, pornographic sex. It's not worth your time.
I like that Ahmed and Natasha always had feelings for each other but didn't act on those feelings because of Chase. Natasha put herself in a predicament that good for her Ahmed was there to literally buy her safety. Chase was against their relationship but gave his blessing in the end which allowed Ahmed and Natasha to have their HEA.
This must be the first of the three in a series that involve three Sheikhs which do not really seem to be "Middle Eastern" at all. The three Sheikhs are very "westernized". Anyway, the slave trading or auctioning off women bothers me but I kept reading. I read this one last because I did not know that it would be the first of the three books. Saved and Tamed by the Sheikhs should have been written in chronological order so that the reading would flow better. Anyway, the sex was over the charts but a bit much. There should have been more drama so that the sex that the couple kept having on every other page would have flowed in a little better to the storyline. That is why I gave it three stars instead of more.
If you like erotica, this is the book for you. If you submission, you'll enjoy this book. I'm not into submission but I like erotica. The sex scenes are crazy, I love it. Natalie was lucky that Ahmed was at the right place at the right time, otherwise she could've ended up in a brothel. Her brother definitely did not approve of their relationship but he came around. They fought for their love and won. It's a cute love story, looking forward to reading chase's story. Can't wait to see who he ends up with.
It was a great story but there were some instances that didnt connect. It needed more explanation in some parts. Dont get me wrong the sex scenes were great but the rest of the story has to flow with the same intensity.
Very good read, really enjoyed their story. Would have liked some scenes which involved his dark side, like ropes and toys. Other than that it was good. Would like to read the book about Chase and his match.
