5.0 out of 5 stars Masterfully Erotic! July 3, 2008
Format:Paperback
Colette Gale stunned erotic romance readers with her book Unmasked, an erotic version of the classic, The Phantom of the Opera. She has done it once again with Master, An Erotic Novel of The Count of Monte Cristo. If you are a big fan of the most recent and romantic movie version of this classic story, you will have to overlook this newly erotic written version and realize that Ms. Gale has once again done her research, using letters and a journal written by Mercedes during the time of Edmund's imprisonment, thus blending much truth to the story, together with well-written erotically sensual scenes.

Edmund Dantes has spent most of his young years imprisoned in the Chateau d'If, set up by those he thought to be his friends, for crimes he did not commit. Once he finds a way to escape, he spends years traveling the world as a pirate, smuggler and many other identities, collecting huge wealth, and thus becoming the Count of Monte Cristo. All these years he has also planned a perfect revenge for those he believes have wronged him. Once he returns to France he begins the destructive revenge of those who have hurt him. In this version, he believes none has betrayed or hurt him more than his love and former fiancé Mercedes, who is now married to his best friend and greatest enemy, The Count of Mondego. It is Mercedes who seems to take the full brunt of his revenge by his use of her in a highly sexual way. This may be a disturbing switch for readers and fans of the original toned down version of The Count of Monte Cristo.

As Edmund uses Mercedes as a sexual slave, he comes to realizes that his vengeance against her and her son does not feel so sweet. He finds he cannot ignore her touch and beautiful body. It only enhances his memory of a long lost true love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down! May 22, 2008
Format:Paperback
I'm a HUGE fan of the story of the Count of Monte Cristo so I was eager to read this book and Ms. Gale didn't disappoint. I REALLY enjoyed her book UNMASKED and have to say that I liked this one even BETTER.

While it is an erotic novel, I didn't feel that the eroticism in it was over done or that it was excessive. From the first page to the last, I couldn't put the book down. I was rivited. And while in her version, Edmonde partially blames Mercedes for his suffering, in my opinion he isn't overly cruel to her. He still loves her even though he feels that she portrayed their love.

If you like the story of the Count, I recommend you read this one as well. If you don't mind erotic scenes, then you'll throughly enjoy this book.

I hope this isn't the last book Ms. Gale will be writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4 1/2 Kisses, TwoLips Reviews July 30, 2008
Format:Paperback
Colette Gale pens another retelling of a classic with her usual artistic flair and intensity. According to the Biographer's Note, this is the "true" story of Edmond Dantès and Mercédès Herrera, based on facts gleaned from her personal effects.

Wrongfully imprisoned for fourteen years, Edmond was engaged to marry Mercédès when he was ripped away from his own betrothal party without warning. Despite her best efforts to get information about him, she's led to believe he died in prison almost as soon as he was incarcerated. He doesn't know she was mislead all those years ago; he thinks she just didn't care and quickly moved on and married another.

Many years later he has escaped prison, but he is a completely different man; a man for whom revenge is top priority. Revenge against the men who conspired to have him falsely imprisoned, and against the woman whose betrayal hurt him most of all.

Life for Mercédès hasn't been easy, either. She married a distant cousin, Fernand, who wanted a beautiful woman on his arm to bolster his masculinity. Sadly, he prefers men, and when he wasn't able to find a willing man or woman to bring to their bed he had a difficult time performing, and then he'd take out his frustration on Mercédès. But she knows she must endure this loveless marriage for the sake of her beloved son, Albert.

As Edmond, in his new persona of The Count of Monte Cristo, meticulously exacts his revenge against all who wronged him, he is unwillingly drawn to the woman who was once the love of his life. Mercédès sees through his disguise and recognizes him as the man she still holds dear.

3.0 out of 5 stars Enchanting Reviews January 16, 2010
By Aemelia
Format:Paperback
When Edmond Dantes finally escapes the prison walls which encased him for years, he returns home in disguise, on a path of revenge, as the wealthy Count of Monte Cristo. Nobody is quite sure where the Count is from, but one woman sees through the facade, as she gazes into the eyes of the man she once loved.

When the man Mercedes Herrera Mondego loved vanished without a trace, she was sure her life was at an end. Married to a man she despises, she has never found a glimmer of the happiness she once cherished. Now her beloved has returned, though only she seems to realize it. But instead of a joyful reunion she discovers he is out for vengeance, and not just against the men who betrayed him, but also against her.

Will Edmond be content with the destruction of the lives of those who ruined him? Will he be the master to Mercedes, as he enslaves her in his passionate pursuit and retaliation efforts?

Honestly my biggest problem with this book was I was expecting a romance, but what I got out of it was an erotic novel, the romance just didn't work for me. The Count of Monte Cristo has always been one of my favorite books and movie adaptations, so I was eager to see how Ms. Gale wove one of my favorite classics into an erotic romance. Maybe my expectations were too high or probably they were just very different than tale she wove.
While there was an unmistakable chemistry between Edmond and Mercedes, I just felt he was to cruel in his revenge to be considered a good romance hero, okay that probably sounds silly especially with all the "revenge" themed romances out there, some of which I really like, but what I mean is that I never really felt him warm up to her, he always held himself aloof.
