MY GRADE: B
FROM PUBLISHER: The terrifying, sanguinary account of a young lady's abduction into slavery. No sooner does the lovely virgin meet her betrothed-- a British officer stationed on duty outside of Khartoum--than she and her entire entourage are captured in the desert by fierce nomads. Prized for her beauty and golden tresses, Lady Beth is forced to endure the erotic demands of feared and virile leaders. Stalwart throughout, and cunning enough to execute one of her captors, Lady Beth caters to their whims until the day arrives for her own escape.
MY THOUGHTS: Nineteen-year-old Lady Beth is traveling with her cousin Pamela and their two servants, Kitty, 23, and Rose, 18. Another servant was sent to help Beth, a very young girl named Zohara. They all get captured in the desert by a group of men and there is plenty of rape, most of which is anal, and murder. One of the ladies meets a gruesome end. There are a few vile things that happen that I'm not comfortable even mentioning, they're that foul. Once the ladies are sold at auction, things tame down quite a bit when they settle in at their new home. They seem happy despite the situation.
Excessive brutality's the name of the game. There was so much violence in the first 138 pages that it almost ruined the book. All but the last 70 pages or so are very brutal. Time span is a year.
This old series from the 80's is pure erotica and this one is hardcore. It's the only one I've ever seen (I think) that has an illustrated cover and I do love this cover.
