Once again, Ms. Collins demonstrates an impressive imagination and a tight writing style. In this case, creating an intriguing and complex future society that is conveyed without info-dumps or confusion. Mikolaus and Hannah are appealing and the sexy bits exciting, there is enough of a suspense plot to keep my attention. Although it does not come into play in this volume, there is a foundation for m-f-m ménage in subsequent volumes.
Unfortunately, this is more of a serial than a series, which doesn't work for me.

Mikolaus is book one in the Seduced by the Gladiators by Margo Bond Collins. This is more a serial then a series.
In a far off future earth sent out colonists to distant worlds. Over time they lost contact with some of these colonies. Now contact has been reestablished with Lurra. On Earth 1 everything is just plan and you have your roles. On Earth 2 we have a society that is gladiator style with women as the leaders. They where delta a devastating blow and to survive they set up a system of triads, three men to one woman. It's interesting and intriguing this new society and structure.
Not everyone fits into this social structure and they are considered outcasts. There is enough of a suspense plot to keep your attention; besides the building romance.
In this story we get one of the three males our lead heroine, Hannah, is thinking of bonding with. Mikolaus and Hannah are appealing and the sexy bits are exciting. The whole plot revolves around Hannah being attracted to and getting it on with Mikolaus and his triad brothers. The story ends abruptly when Hannah is introduced to the other two brothers in the triad. It looks like each book represents one of the three males Hannah is to commit too.
We are left hanging on what is going to go on with the outcasts and no explanation as to why or how the earths lost communication between each other.
Mikolaus was enjoyable. Not sure if I'll read on. I did liked it, but it lacked in areas.
Rated: 3 Stars
