Paradise
Cover art by Marketing Edge Designs
Mary and her crew crash lands on a planet where women rule everything and men have become slaves. At first this seems like a woman's paradise, but when Mary is given a gorgeous man named Sabre he opens her eyes to the hell that Paradise has become for men. She must find out what happened to her male crew mates and deal with what she sees all around her. Her growing love for Sabre further complicates everything.
Sabre’s only mission was to become a pet to one of the high council members, but he is given to Mary by the Queen. He finds himself quickly feeling things for Mary that he has never felt before. He had grown so use to women using his body that Mary’s tenderness and compassion is almost overwhelming to him. He soon finds himself trusting her enough to tell her about the Rebellion and its leader Cyrus. But will she be willing to risk everything to free the men of Paradise?
This is
an exciting story with a terrific amount of suspense and intrigue. The
inequality of the sexes and the attitudes of the women towards the men makes
for an interesting conflict to base the story around. The collars are
effective plot devices that make the domination of the men more plausible.
The setting is detailed and befitting to the storyline.
The basic premise of Paradise is just fantastic. I could only imagine what a world in which it was a complete role reversal to our current society would be like. Justus Roux not only imagined it, she brought the fantasy to fruition in this enlightening story of love, courage and compassion. Reviewer: Sin St Luke Just Erotic Romance Reviews
Rating: 3/4 Stars out of 5 A very exciting,
sizzling futuristic story. Mary is a tender, yet strong person who is
totally dazzled by the new world and that women rule on this planet. I like
that she doesn't give in to temptation to treat men in the same callous way
as the women on the planet do. On the contrary, she holds on to her believes
back from Earth that men and women should be equal. Sabre is used to men
having no worth in his world and that women use him as they want to.
However, he doesn't like it and he doesn't sit by and accept it but wants to
help the Rebellion. After the first shock that his good looks didn't get him
into the Queen's circle but sold to a woman from another planet, he finds he
is enchanted by Mary. He isn't used to somebody caring for him and treating
him with respect. You really like them both for being strong and loving
characters. 4 out 5 cupids Reviewer: Susanne Cupid library Reviews http://www.cupidslibraryreviews.de Paradise is loaded in suspense and fascination. It was intriguing, reading about the manner of the sexes and their disparity. Mary's character is strong in the way she cares for her crew and will stop at nothing to discover the answers behind their disappearance. I could practically feel the intent look in her eyes when she saw the collars wrapped around the men's neck. Sabre as a slave shows much depth to his story line. Ms. Roux creates a clever plot with a very interesting cast of characters. The addition of the collars around the men seemed so genuine. I sat in awe with every turn of the page the way the men handled their subjugation. And when Sabre ran his finger over his brother's headstone, I could not help but feel what he was thinking. Ms. Roux takes characters, enlists a wonderful visualization and blends a fabulous story that shouldn't be overlooked in this tingling tale. Overall rating: Reviewer:
