Enchained

Summary: 4 star review
Review: From Timeless Tales reviewer Meri Mccombs
Enchained is a three author anthology from Ellora's Cave. Though each story is different they are linked together by the overall theme of dominance and submission.

We begin with Ann Jacobs tale, "Mastered", about a prosecuting attorney and a homicide detective. Loosely connected to her "Lawyers in Love" series, Mastered is the story of a woman seeking a new master, a man who can make her find the full depth and breadth of her passion, and the man who reawakens all those desires. It's the tale of unexpected, yet fulfilling love.

Next up, "Choice of Masters" by Joey Hill, a fantasy tale of a woman cursed to never feel pleasure and the man who frees her. This tale focuses on the mental and spiritual, on how true trust can liberate. It is also the only tale in the anthology not connected to series.

Lastly, is Jaid Black's "Death Row: The Mastering". This is futuristic fantasy tale. A widow on her way to earth to visit her daughter is kidnapped by a devolved man. This man dominating her body and her will until all she wants is to please him, much to her confusion.

While I greatly enjoyed all three stories, I have to admit to not being able to fully appreciate the nuances of Jaid's tale. Not having read the Death Row serial, I was lost on some of the customs that she mentioned only in passing as if the reader was expected to already know everything. Other than that single drawback, I loved the stories, especially Joey Hill's. This anthology is a good introduction to each author's style as well as an entertaining read.
