Summary: HOT! With A Plot!!
Review: "The Possession" is the rare erotic novel - it is well written and actually has a plot on which to hang some varied, sensual and sizzling prose. And this is one hot piece of fiction! There are also two main characters who are very likable, instead of the usual one-dimensional fare. Some of the secondary characters are intriguing also. Anonymous intimacy is a factor here, but romance plays a big part in the plot - which I, personally, enjoy.
Kris Torrence, a prim, proper professor of anthropology, is 30-something, single with no love interest in sight and bored. Underneath all her propriety and professionalism, is a passionate, beautiful redhead, longing to do something wild and crazy for once. Her libido is alive but stifled...and really needs some exercise. She sees an advertisement for Hotel Atlantis, an exclusive resort for wealthy gentlemen, situated on a private island off the San Francisco coast. The owner is looking for attractive women, "exceptional females," to be "submissives" for a week. The salary is phenomenal. But money is definitely not why Kris applies for the job.
Jack McKenna is the bane of Kris' existence. He is a wealthy businessman who finances a lot of the research in the anthropology department where Kris works - and he's a super hunk! They argue and snap at each other every time they're together, but they have a strong mutual attraction. He is a close friend of Hotel Atlantis' owner and his vacation, surprisingly coincides with Kris' week-long adventure. Sparks fly! And fantasies come true - for the reader also!!
I read "The Possession" in a few hours. Jaid Black knows how to tell a steamy tale, and her use of humor is wonderful. The prose is graphic and deals with exhibitionism, voyeurism, light bondage, etc., etc., and some of the language is explicit. Highly recommended for those who like erotic fiction, but not for the faint of heart! Enjoy the wild ride!

Summary: For those who would not normally read BDSM
Review: Although this is about the heroine acting out her fantasy of being a sexual slave, it's a fun read, not dark, but certainly hot! Don't let the sex slave plot turn you away from this enjoyable erotic story. If BDSM normally turns you off, try this author, Jaid Black. She can make you laugh when the hero threatens to spank the heroine because she's not being a very good slave. This is one woman one man heterosexual romance in a kinky Fantasy Island setting. Lots of steam. Lots of laughs.

Summary: An enthralling sizzler!! Yum...
Review: It wasn't easy finding this book. It wasn't available at bookshops and I wanted to get the paperback, not the CD-Rom version. Boy, am I glad that I didn't give up on it! The Possession is one of the sexiest, steamiest, well-written erotic romance novels out there! Jaid Black is right up Emma Holly's alley when it comes to writing risque, unconventional romance novels.Kris Torrence is an anthropologist who has had it with her uneventful life of academia. She wants to do something out of the ordinary for once in her life. And what could be less ordinary than traveling to a private gentleman's resort to fulfill her lifetime fantasy of experiencing sexual submission? She will leave her five cats behind and make the unconventional trip. She'll also be able to forget the rough and gorgeous Jack McKenna, her longtime nemesis. But she and Jake get more than they bargain for at the resort... The building of tension and subsequent sex scenes awoke all of my senses. This novel has the most smoldering erotic scenes I've ever read. And the best part is that Ms. Black does not sacrifice story development and characterization in favor of gratuitous sex scenes. In fact, there are no gratuitous sex scenes here -- there is a perfect blend of plot, erotica, romance and humor. And I love the fact that Jack McKenna isn't the typical perfect hero. He makes Kensington Brava's bad boys seem like sissies. I'm flabbergasted. This book was worth waiting for. I shall definitely read Jaid Black's other efforts with gusto!

Summary: Very Hot
Review: One of the reviewers said she couldn't understand why these two fell in love. I think the story explains this well. Kris and Jack have both been attracted to each other for sometime, but have thought they were not good enough for the other. The island resort provides the opportunity to explore this attraction. Ms Black writes alpha males very much like Ms Feehan does. They are possessive, aggressive and passionate. Jack definitely fits the bill. Kris enjoys playing the submissive for Jack, but only for Jack.

Summary: Predictable
Review: Out of all the erotica books I've bought recently, this was my least favorite. It is very predictable with little character development. There are turns it could take or possible surprises, but it is a typical romance novel with very little real BDSM happening. If you like romance novels, you may enjoy this. If you are looking for a shocking and arousing BDSM book, this may not be for you.

Summary: DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY
Review: Save your money. Jaid Black is just not a good writer. Period. Yes, she writes about sexual acts. Boring, oh yes! Erotic, I don't think so.
The book's plot doesn't matter because the writing is so poor. Jaid Black is very fortunate to make a living as an author. I wouldn't spend another penny on one of her books. If you enjoy reading well written erotic romances, try:
Susan Johnson's "Brazen" (actually all of Susan Johnson's earlier works are quite good. Robin Schone-all of her books are excellent, but once you've read her books, don't hold your breath waiting for another one. I think it's been almost four years since she's released a full length novel. Emma Holly's books written for the "Black Lace" series. Hot! Hot! Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander" This book is not published as erotic, but it is. It's also heart wrenching and romantic.

Summary: Erotic Romance
Review: The Possession is a about a woman who goes away to a resort where she can fulfill her fantasies. There, she sees the man who has been both the bane of her existence and her ultimate fantasy. While at the resort, their relationship progresses to something more intimate and caring. Though this is an erotic romance, it doesn't skip out on the romance part of the story as some erotic romances have done (I won't name names). Both the erotic part and the romance part are intertwined wonderfully. Exhibitionism is a part of the story but is handled so that even those not used to erotic romances can find it hot.

Summary: Very Hot
Review: The premise is pretty simple. Kris and Jack have secretly lusted over each other. Kris finally decides to do something daring and erotic and signs up to be a submissive at an island resort. Little does she know that Jack is going to be there also. Once Jack realizes that Kris is there he ultimately "buys" her and for the next few days they have incredible sex. Its a very hot read if your into erotic. Also read "Vanished" by Jaid Black which you can download on Ellorascave.com. It's about a young woman who has car trouble and is "kidnapped" by an escaped convict. What happens next to pretty hot! It's probably one of my favorites and after reading it I pretty much attacked my poor husband :-)
