This is the story of Molly, she lives as a 24/7 slave in a very hard core BDSM relationship, this book has very heavy practices of kink and is not for the faint of heart or the prudish. The retelling from Mephisto's point of view is much more enjoyable.

i like the conept and the book itself but the way they were hinting for something to happen and it actually happens just for it to be a second book, i just think it should've been more subtler way to hint at it and give more of a shock to readers

Ok, I want Mephisto to Master me. I don’t have any desire to be a pleasure slave, but he makes it look so damned good!

Club Mephisto will test your limits. It will bring you down; make you take a breath, and just when you think some flowers and roses are coming. BAM! There is a harsh punishment scene on the cusp of an orgasm that makes you scream at the book and beg for more all at once. This is the story of Molly, a very well educated woman that met a man in a BDSM, who later became her Master and husband. Molly, from what I can tell, lived a life of order and control. You would have to in order to gain a degree in college. She has taken to her role of pleasure slave easily it would seem. Longing to please her Master in any way that he deems fit.

HOT! So, taboo and wicked. This was a book about Total Power Exchange. I think, lately, with the whole boom in BDSM fanatics, peopledon’t honestly understand what Total Power Exchange is. It is not “We go in the bedroom and you top me for an hour, and then we are good.” No, if you are unclear on what a TPE is, then read this book. It is harsh, it is intense, and it will tangle your insides and make no apologies for it. When Molly’s husband lets her know he will be gone for a week on business, she is upset; only to find out that she will be, being cared for by club owner, Mephisto, an enigma to most of the club patrons. Molly even worked under him for a time, and still knows nothing about him. Just that no one owns Mephisto and Mephisto truly owns no one himself; the ultimate Master and trainer.

Molly is a pampered pleasure slave, her husband loves her and rightly so he married her. Mephisto is about to show her that she has been taking her pampered life for granted, and shows her the true meaning of being a slave. The story ripped at my heart and I really sympathized with Molly. Her experiences have only been with Clayton, her husband. And Mephisto owns her body and her soul by the end. He isn’t totally brutal, he has heart, and softness that comes out at times when he takes her places she hasn’t been in awhile. I have a few personal issues, but when I pushed them aside I could totally enjoy the book. It is difficult for me to understand why a husband would allow his wife to be humped by other men (There is an orgy scene at the club when she is owned by Mephisto.) And one after another she is filled and drilled. It was a hard concept for me to truly understand, but it didn’t deflect my enjoyment.

By the end of the story I was totally in love with Mephisto and Molly, and wanted inside Mephisto’s head so bad I wanted to scream! This is an intense, BDSM erotic novel that tests the very limits of the mind and soul. Would you go that far for ultimate pleasure? I highly recommend this book to anyone that likes BDSM, anyone that likes limits pushed, and darker BDSM literature. I honestly believe that Annabel rivals Anne Rice and her Sleeping Beauty books in her elegance in writing!

This story jumped right into Molly's 24/7 life. Not sure that was the best place to start. We do get a bit of back-story farther in, but still not enough for a judgement call. The novella moves right along though, and I was captured by Mephisto. I want to know more about him.

This one was okay for me. It started slowly and I wasn't sure I would like it at all, but the story did pick up and I ended up enjoying the last few chapters. It is heavy on the slave/Master aspect of BDSM, which is not something everyone will enjoy reading, it pushed my limits a little. I guess I'm just not into the whole being a slave, used only for Master's pleasure thing. Molly had no personality, I felt. And anytime her natural personality peeked through, she tamped it down and felt guilty for thinking about herself instead of about Master. I think both Master and Mephisto are worried about her total immersion into her role, though. I'm excited to read Molly's Lips - this story through the eyes of Mephisto. I'd also like to see if Molly gets more likable in the next books. She was just kinda flat for me in this one. The writing is great, though and the book moved along quickly.

I got this as a recommendation from another author who writes in the same genre. While, I thought this was a good book, it doesn't stand a chance against of the best in the business. While the main character is a willing slave, it can be pretty intense in some of the scenes. It is not for the faint of heart. If you like [a:Tiffany Reisz|4480131|Tiffany Reisz|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1337395840p2/4480131.jpg], [a:Kitty Thomas|2654606|Kitty Thomas|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1349152383p2/2654606.jpg] or [a:Skye Warren|5339130|Skye Warren|http://www.goodreads.com/assets/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66-251a730d696018971ef4a443cdeaae05.jpg], you should try this book.
