Enslaved [Paperback]

Marty Matthews is the stereotypical feminist of the 1960's. Ok, she actually IS a 1960's feminist, pantyhose flinging and bra burning included. When she is somehow catapulted through dimensions and time, she finds herself in a place where male-dominated societies don't exist. GROOVY! Well, except in other areas of the galaxy, where there tend to be some seriously huge alpha-type males. When the village where she lives with her new feminist-from-hell friends is approached by a group of some of the males in question, she unwisely takes to taunting them with crude gestures and insulting names. Not very smart when you stand around five foot six and the leader of these warriors is somewhere in the neighborhood of seven and a half feet tall! Alas, poor Marty sometimes lets her overconfidence get the better of her and soon finds herself within the harem of the pig. Definitely not groovy!

Kil Q'an Tal had only intended to approach the women warriors of Wani with the intention of asserting his claim as king of this sector of the galaxy. He had no intention of making war with them for his warriors would never hurt a woman, even in battle. What he did was make war with them simply to gain another bound servant, and a woman who would become the center of his world against his will. For the life of him, he can't figure out why that this woman has him so "bedeviled" when his first encounter with her had her screaming obscenities from the shoulders of a warrior woman from Wani. Wanting her more than anything he has ever experienced, Kil is determined she will be his and his alone--she will never pleasure any of his warriors, as is the custom. Which really should have been a clue.

Within the harem, Marty makes a friend who is about to be released from service. Telling her friend about her growing feelings for their master, knowing there can never be anything between a bondservant and the king, Marty convinces Ora to help her escape. Fleeing King Kil doesn't do much good, however, because the unsuspecting Marty is carrying his child. Realizing his mistake, Kil goes on his bride quest. He has already lost one woman he loved before he expressed his feelings, he's not about to do so again. But if he finds her, can she ever forgive him?

Kil has been my favorite character from the start of this series and the hunt for his Sacred Mate was everything I hoped it would be! The imagination in introducing so many different women from different walks of current Earth society is brilliant and thus far, Ms. Black has yet to disappoint! Again, this tale is filled with erotic, vivid imagery that is simply dazzling. Undeniably a must-read, unquestionably a keeper! Definitely groovy!
