In the corporate world, Elizabeth Martin was a woman to be feared. Poised, always in control, she was dedicated to job, and worked hard to make herself the best in her business. But when one man decides to take her down, will she be able to survive his attacks?

When it came to achieving her goals, Elizabeth Martin knew what she wanted. Her goals were simple: to go all the way to the top. When she was hired as the new executive vice president for a prestigious advertising firm, she felt she was well on her way. However, she never counted on a disgruntled rival taking a very creative revenge-drugging her, and selling her in a slave auction in a BDSM club. Will her career be ruined by the sabatogue?

Cole Pearson had very few requirements in his life, but recently he had felt something was missing. When he went to the slave auction at The House of Usher, he never imagined he would find the woman who would complete him, or that she would be completely oblivious to everything around her. Compelled to try to help her, Cole decided he would do whatever it took to save her. Would she be willing to stay in his life after she realized what happened?

With a villain that gives new meaning to the words slimy and nefarious, a very good cast of secondary characters, and a very entertaining writing style, ACCIDENTAL SLAVE was a great read. Ms. Thompson does an excellent job, producing a story that appeals even to those not involved in the BDSM scene. Cole was an amazing character, dominant without being overbearing, and very caring towards Elizabeth. As a heroine, Elizabeth was also an excellent character, and I really liked the dichotomy in her personality. The love scenes were amazing, so spicy that they almost curl the toes. Fantastic job!

This was an incredibly disappointing book. After an initial setting of the scene between the original characters it became more and more about the love story of the principal female and a secondary male character. Much of what went on was TOTALLY immaterial to the story and was essentially filler.

While the book did delve into some of the kink that the story is supposed to be about, the descriptions are rudimentary and unfulfilling.

I read this on my Kindle and fully 70% of the book was taken up by nothing having to do with the character's assumption of the role of "slave" (yes, I checked as I was reading). Additionally, throughout the book the character was referred to as "sub" or "submissive". There is a distinct difference between sub/submissive and slave in the world of D/s.

I suppose for some, what little story there is about D/s is probably exciting, as there are some fairly accurate descriptions of what goes on in these relationships, but I feel that the title is misleading and inaccurate.

Frankly, I've read romance novels that provided better writing about dominant men and submissive women. I'm not sure the author really did the research for this one.

Fantatic story telling! Wonderful sex scences! Nothing about them was offensive or over done. Best part was... there was NOT chapters and chapters of talking about feelings. Cole is a perfect DOM who was in controle but never went to a dark and scary place. I never felt that Elizabeth was being treated like a whore. And there was no over the top LOVE talk. It was perfect!

Elizabeth Martin is finally on top of the advertising world, garnering a great executive spot at an exclusive advertising agency. Most of her co-workers are happy for her, excerpt for one disgruntled colleague, Gary. When Elizabeth asks Gary to be her escort at an upcoming charity auction, he leaps at the chance, plotting to drug her drink and take her to an exclusive slave auction instead. What will Elizabeth's reaction be when she realizes she's not at the charity auction and is now the property of a Dom?

When an author can weave kink into a well-written plot driven story, I know I'm in for a rare treat. Claire Thompson really shines as a premiere BDSM writer in Accidental Slave. Elizabeth has no idea what she's in for when Cole Pearson buys her at the slave auction. Cole attends the auction hoping maybe this will be the day he'll find a submissive to speak to his romantic soul. He immediately notices that something's wrong with Elizabeth and suspects foul play.

Getting Elizabeth back to his apartment, Cole finds out the truth behind her being there at the auction. Figuring out Elizabeth is an utter newbie to the D/s scene, he allows her to decide if she wants a D/s relationship with him. Initially reluctant to allow Cole to assist her, she's touched by the way he defends her, giving her encouragement to combat Gary's ugliness. Driven like a moth to a flame, Cole wisely gives her little tastes of BDSM, taking her to new heights in submission with their every meeting. Under his tutelage, Elizabeth blossoms into a woman who is comfortable with her sexuality, able to give Cole the submissive of his dreams.

Ms. Thompson unites two unlikely characters destined to be together in Accidental Slave. I was hooked from its first sentence and chortled with glee as justice finally comes to Gary at this book's wonderful end.

Given the cover photo, I expected this one to be somewhat like "Golden Angel:Unwilling sex slave", also by Claire Thompson, however this one was quite different, & in many ways better, In this one you have disgruntled Ad Executive Gary, who has been passed over for a big promotion only to see his dream job go to a younger woman Elizabeth, at first he tries to get past his anger, & being a member of a underground BDSM club, takes an opportunity to drug her at a company function & takes her to this club in the hopes of her being sold at a secret slave auction to a man never to be seen again, his plan works, well almost, the man who bids on her is actually a high powered real estate mogul named Cole, who in many ways has a kind heart, & when Elizabeth awakens from the crazy night before, not remembering anything, Cole is smitten with her & secretly wants her as his private slave/submissive, but first, he realizes she is not a willful submissive & both soon realize what Gary has done, in the mist of all this Elizabeth & Cole begin to get to know one another & are in many ways drawn to one another, but first Elizabeth confronts Gary & he manages to twist everything around her, almost costing her her job, Cole however helps her trace back to where Gary might have slipped up not covering his tracks & sure enough he is caught with incriminating evidence for trying to discredit her & is soon fired, because of this sweet victory Elizabeth & Cole grow closer & as they do, she becomes curious about the BDSM lifestyle & her & Cole embark on the journey of BDSM play, there is no forced submission here, which is a nice change, but the exchange of power between the two is a matter of total trust, Cole doesn't force anything on her, & as a result she seeks to be a willful submissive & eventually is willing to go as far as he will take her, the whole time I was reading this all I could think about is who could play these two in a film, Pierce Bronsnon comes to mind as Cole, maybe Megan Fox as Elizabeth, but it will likely never get made into a film, but it would be a nice adaption, all in all, this is a good read about two professional people embarking on a BDSM journey where love results in the end, Highly recommed this one.

Accidental Slave is a wonderful examination of a romantic BDSM relationship. Elizabeth and Cole are both well developed characters and the chemistry between them is immediate. The best part about this book is that it is truly an exploration of BDSM as Elizabeth is brand new and has no experience whatsoever. She is thrust into the world by a jealous co-worker and ends up a part of a lifestyle that she had no idea she was needing. Following Elizabeth as she uncovers her hidden desires and analyzes her newfound freedom is captivating and thought-provoking. The sex between these two is highly erotic and intense and makes for a very scintillating read as Elizabeth and Cole navigate through various trials and work to find out if they can form a relationship that will provide them both with what they need most. A highly recommend read for both readers familiar with Claire Thompson's work as well as new readers looking for an author with a solid grasp of the BDSM lifestyle!

It was a promising set up for a story of this title. Alas... promises promises!

I didn't finish the book, which is rare because I hate wasting my money! The relationship between Elizabeth and Cole became very very boring after their first real date. I kept wading through it trying to find some reason, something of interest to keep me reading till the end.

Perhaps in real life a D/s relationship should be slow and methodical, maybe even predictable so the foundation of trust can begin. But in an erotic read... oh hell no.

BDSM for beginners.

I like this genre of BDSM literature. Although the premise at the beginning of the book is unbelievable (a slave auction for businessmen at a fancy club), it's all good after that. The dialog between the two main characters is SO realistic and believable (unlike many, many books of this type), you feel like you are in the room with them. You feel like you know these people. And what they say to each other is a real turn-on. After the first chapter, it was hard to put it down. Hope I can find another like it. First time I've read this author. 5 stars for me.

Great book if you like BDSM and lots of explicit training and sex. I'm usually more a fan of Thompson's nonconsensuals, but this has a enough spice to make up for it. It's a long novel too. Definitely get your money's worth. Two thumbs (and something else too) up!

I purchased Accidental Slave about a month ago. It was EXCELLENT, really it was one of the best books I've read recently. Cole was a great Dom character, both alpha and understanding. And Elizabeth is no wimpy female submissive; her underlying strength is impressive and matched perfectly to Cole's gentle control.

I'd love to encounter Cole and Elizabeth as returning characters in another book down the road...maybe one of them has a sibling/cousin/close friend that's just calling out for a soul mate? no harm in hinting, huh..LOL

This is an excellent book that'll leave you melting in your chair. If you're looking for an alpha male with a tender side and a woman with strength who chooses to submit to him - then click the link to buy this book TODAY - you won't be sorry.

Happy Reading!!!
