Barbarian's Concubine by Lisa Cach
4.0
The first book in the 1,001 Erotic Nights series, SLAVE GIRL, was ridiculously hot so I was excited to pick up BARBARIAN’S CONCUBINE and see what else Cach could cook up.
Cach definitely didn’t disappoint in the sexy department, although the first scene with the pirate really bordered on rape and it made me a little uncomfortable. As the reader you’re in Nimia’s head the whole time and she’s thinking about the situation and wanting the guy on top of her, but at the same time she’s trying to get him to stop. Buzz kill on that one.
Aside from that, I love how sexual Nimia is and Cach writes some incredible sex scenes. Chapter 8. I’ll just leave that one there. Wow.
A little bit of a killer for me, though, aside from that first sex scene, is the introduction of a pregnancy. Meh. Kind of shrivels my hard on. Granted there are a bunch more books in this series and it’s playing into a much larger plot that in and of itself is really interesting but eh. Babies. Not my thing. I’ll see where this goes.
So hot factor, still really high. Like incredibly high, all things considered. Plot is still really engaging and interesting and the suspense keeps amping up. I love all the characters and how Nimia is developing and where the story is going. All around I’m still digging it. I have the rest of the books on my iPad. I must dig in!
3.5
