Loading... Acquired Possessionby Cari Silverwood
None No current Talk conversations about this book.  tetisheri | Aug 15, 2020 |   Emery, also known as Slave 12 of the House Oren, is a woman who was somehow lured to Aerthe and turned into a mere possession. Mako is the House Master and her trainer. He is in charge of making sure this formerly free woman accepts her place as a slave. He's a disgraced war hero who isn't allowed to go as far as he wants with the woman who reminds him of his former love. The book starts in the middle of a courtroom scene where humans have just been named slaves owned by their patrons. One of the women, Fern, who was abducted with Emery attacks a judge with a knife and is sentenced to be his slave and for him to be able to stab her once with a knife, just as she had stabbed him. Emery is horrified, and Mako, who is behind her in the courtroom, carries her out of the room when it appears that she is unable to get herself out. Emery has a hard time trying to adjust and wants to keep fighting against Mako, who needs for her to start understanding her place and who is fighting against his attraction to Emery. She's nothing but a slave, and he can be nothing but her House Master. His first punishment is creative. Her caning is so very, very hot. She acts out, he punishes her. When she is accused of sedition, he has to seriously punish her, and holy cow, I wish I could be her. I want some purple electricity, so bad. The story is a beautiful one, and very well written. It's not just a love story with a HEA, although there is that, it's a story about the journey that Emery takes from free woman to a willing submissive. Cari Silverwood really did well with that. I really enjoyed Emery's struggles and trying to figure out how she was feeling and what she really wanted. Do heed the warnings and disclaimers on this story. They are there for a very good reason. But if they don't scare you off, you will love this story. (  ) tetisheri | Aug 15, 2020 | Great science-fantasy. The world is intriguing and the characters are relatable. I want to read more, and I will be going straight on to the next book. This fantasy is brutal in parts and could be triggering for some readers, others are in for a treat. (  ) anxovert | Aug 24, 2019 | What the hell did I just read and more importantly why the hell did I like it so much. This book is twisted and dark. There are scenes that might cause triggers. I'm not usually a big fan on the sci-fi type stuff unless it is the Omegaverse that another author introduced me to recently. Until now. I will read this and this author on this theme as much as I can. Mako. I vacillated between hating him and loving him. Emery. I love her all the way through. I cannot wait for the next book. Now I'm off to up my therapy sessions. Somehow, I think this author is going to make me need it. ( ) MagicalRi | Apr 15, 2019 | no reviews | add a review
