Book Description

Publication Date: June 10, 2005

In Slave Girl, Jill is a bored housewife married to straitlaced, conservative attorney Barry. Jill's been a very bad girl. She just can't keep her hands off the sexy repairmen who come by while her husband's at work. But everything changes the day her husband walks in on her being "serviced" by the very naked man who mows the lawn. Barry gives Jill the spanking of her life, which culminates in the hottest sex the couple has ever had — and in Jill becoming his sex slave. In "David and Rachel," a loving D/S couple experience ultimate ecstasy when they invite a female submissive into their lair. "Mistress/Slave" features a dominatrix who takes a stroll on the submissive side. And in "Tough Boy," a brutish biker submits to the mistress of his dreams.

This review is from: Slave Girl (Paperback)

I really enjoyed Slave Girl by Claire Thompson and in the end, the love story these characters found came through for me.

I was a little unsure when I started Slave Girl. The blurb concerned me about the severity of the BDSM that would be found within the pages of the book and about whether the BDSM would come from a loving standpoint or be merely gratuitous and hardcore. And, some of the scenes are fairly hardcore in that they are meant to portray the violence possible with this lifestyle when one places their trust into those they should not. That being said there were many extremely erotic and lovingly masterful scenes in this book between our main characters and, true to form for Ms. Thompson, these scenes were exceptionally hot.

Slave Girl starts out as a story of absolute infidelity by Jill; however, the journey of both Barry and Jill to acceptance and understanding of each other is quite enjoyable. As far as characters go there isn't a whole lot to like about Jill and quite honestly I think that was the intent of the author. I'm sure some would say there wasn't much to like about either Jill or Barry, but, with that, I would disagree. While Barry would never make the list of my all time favorite heroes, he might make the list of the best turn-around in a character from beginning to end of book. I enjoyed watching the immensely dramatic changes that Barry was subjected to throughout Slave Girl. I was impressed that an author could take a character such as Barry and believably transform him in such a short time frame. Ms. Thompson did just that. Did he make mistakes? Sure, but Barry learned from them and tried to fix what had occurred and that's a character that a reader can enjoy. Even though you may not love him or his choices, you can understand and appreciate his journey.

Ms. Thompson is one of the best storytellers I have come across in the art of telling the story of a journey. Her characters always seem to rise from some point in their lives to a higher plane of understanding and acceptance of themselves and those around them. This is not to say that her characters start out from low points; it is more an indication of the vital growth potential in us all. While we may not be interested in following the path the characters took in this book, we can all see how the path they were on, worked for them. We can appreciate the journey these characters took to get to their happily ever after was precisely what they needed. Ms. Thompson has an unquestionable ability to bring characters to life for the reader and this book is no exception.

Slave Girl is one of Ms. Thompson's older books and I can see her shift and growth in writing, although, I have to say, this is still an exceptionally well-written book. The characterization and descriptions of scenes are vibrant. The reader is drawn into each and every scene as if they are watching it on the television in full color with surround sound. You feel what Barry and Jill go through in this book and you keep turning pages to find out what will happen next. The plot lines are well thought out, flow well and are believable from the first to the last.

Readers should be forewarned that there are extreme scenes in this book; however, they played well to the plot line, were credibly carried out and didn't feel gratuitous in nature. I think any reader who enjoys the BDSM genre would enjoy Barry and Jill's journey through this lifestyle. It was ultimately a journey of hope and love.

Rated 4 Delightful Divas by Jen

4 short stories, all reasonably well written but none really come to life for me. All technically accurate (as far as I can tell), describing far more realistically the BDSM lifestyle than half the Elora's Cave books do. It just didn't sing to me, I didn't really get involved with the characters or care for them. They seemed a bit place markers. Unlike the intense Joey Hill books, these didn't capture my imagination.

These are early stories by Claire Thompson and I would read more of hers, because at the very least her sentences made sense and there was a sense of groundedness or realism in her BDSM depictions, but there wasn't much romance.

Lots of good ideas to try--my copy has many yellow highlights. So far the best D/s book I've read this year.
