Review of Consequences By Althea Romig

I had been wanting to read a book by this author for a very long time. I love her book covers, its true a book cover really does sell a book. For me its one-word titles and book covers. If you can tell an entire story with one word, I'm there.

So, Consequences, we all know what that is. Claire Nichols is the main character. She is a bartender in a small nonconsequential, (LOL) bar. A customer, one Anthony Rawlings, asks her to have a drink with him after her shift.  Next thing she knows, she suspects that he drugged her, she wakes in a very nice luxury bedroom in a place she doesn't know. The door is locked, she has no means for escape and she is terrified.

She must learn to play his game in order to survive. He is very violent in his punishments. Now this is where I got a little perturbed. The author only alludes to the beatings. She alludes to the suffering. This is plugged as a dark erotica. Ok, those of us who read this genre expect there to be parts we are disgusted by. She seemed to just gloss over those parts.

The story was good, very good actually, which is why I kept reading. And this man is a true sadist and major control freak. And he sets her up perfectly and she never sees it coming.
