Tears of Tess
by Pepper Winters
This was a very raunchy read, VERY raunchy indeed. It is the story of Tess who is vacationing in Mexico with her boyfriend, Brax, when she is kidnapped by a Mexican gang whose business seems to be human trafficking. Trafficking young women in particular, in order to be sex slaves. I must confess that I thought this was maybe going to be a little different then it was. There were some scenes that made me quite uncomfortable.
For example, without giving away too much detail, there is a lot of rape discussion and an actual rape in which the woman in question then has consensual(?) sex with someone else straight after to 'erase' the memory of the rape. I found it problematic.
That aside though, the rest of this book is a portrayal of a BDSM dynamic and it's heavy on the sadism and masochism. When I say heavy, I'm talking about cutting, whipping until bleeding etc. Pretty hardcore stuff that would make a lot of people balk. Despite all of its problems, the story was really entertaining and it was a really fast read.
I'm not sure if I could, in good conscience, recommend this book though as I feel like it handled a lot of issues (like rape), quite poorly. If you have a strong stomach and want an extreme read than go for it. I found the writing quality to be quite high and the plot is well constructed.
