Exactly what the cover implies and yet so much more, HOSTILE
TAKOVER is a D/s erotica containing a number or intense
sexual encounters between a Dominant male and his submissive
female. At times I found it a little too much for my
personal taste and found myself skimming one or two scenes.
So why did I keep eagerly reading until the end? Because I
found the personal and emotional struggles compelling, and
the people fascinating. The story was foreign yet natural
and familiar all at the same time. Whatever a person's
sexual interests, coming to terms with yourself, your past,
and what you really want for the future in order to find
happiness is universal. Add in a group of people who are
completely comfortable with their chosen lifestyle,
committed and supportive friends willing to challenge
each other to be their best, and you have an excellent love
story.
The heart of the story is the budding romantic relationship
between Marcie and Ben. Their story started in the earlier
books in the Knights of the Board Room series as a
friendship between a teenager and a man she was supposed to
see as a kind of surrogate older brother. Marcie never saw
him that
way and has been in love with him since she was sixteen.
Now, Marcie is a grown woman who knows who she is, a
submissive, and what she wants, Ben to be her Master. It's
up to her to convince him that they both want exactly the
same thing.
HOSTILE TAKEOVER was erotic, tender, and heart-breaking.
Marcie is smart, powerful, and strong; submission is a part
of her she is struggling to understand but it does not come
from a place of weakness or naiveté. Ben, having experienced
abandonment and hardship as a child, has to exorcise his
personal demons in order to accept the love and trust Marcie
wholeheartedly offers. The story is almost exclusively
about Ben and Marcie and the emotional challenges of finding
their way through the heartache, confusion, and fear to a
committed relationship. Their friends and family are there
to provide physical comfort, gentle support, and guidance
along the way.
Ben is the last unattached member of the five-man executive
team of K&A Associates. The other four, all Masters, have
found the submissives of their dreams. That's fine. The
sharp-edged lawyer knows he's the most hardcore of them all,
with extreme tastes as a Master he satisfies physically
through experienced club submissives. He doesn't really need
anything more.
Marcie has loved Ben since she was sixteen. He's never
behaved as anything more than a protective big brother, a
family friend. But now she's twenty-three and starting her
career as a corporate investigator. She may be a
blood-and-bone-deep submissive, but she won't hesitate to
use her aggressive talents to prove she's meant to be his.
With a Master as tough as Ben, she'll have to take whatever
measures are needed-even if her deepest desire isn't a
hostile takeover of his heart, but an unconditional
surrender to it.
