ANCHORED is not a love story.It's not even a like story, really.What it is is a GREAT story.This book is set in an alternate universe where slavery is legal worldwide. It is otherwise set in contemporary NYC.Daniel is a slave. He's also a celebrity news anchor. His network bought him at age 11 an...
Holy fuck, did I ever love these characters; both of them unique, a little damaged, and unapologetically male. Then there’s the sci-fi/cyberpunky setting with great tech which provides not just a cool backdrop but is integral to the external plot pushing these two together. And let’s not forget...
How does someone go about making a choice between two equally disgusting and craptastic options? Well, that is Nikolai’s way – Mat and Dougie will always have a choice, but they may not like the consequence of said choice. Despite the pain and horror of being captured and prepared for auction, ...
I loved this story. Yes Devon's treatment of Nicky is harsh, and at first quite unforgiving, but once I realised why Devon was behaving like that it sort of made sense, he needed to push Nicky so he could understand his needs and how to put him back together gain. He wouldn't have got to Nicky's ...
Now we're getting to the meat of the character development, and thus, the emotional hook for the story. A very good chapter. Questions are starting to be answered even as new ones are raised. Douglas' situation is clearer, and in understanding Nikolai's dilemma about him we glean more about Nikol...
Definitely my least favorite so far...This book was a series of tests and trials to push boundaries, test limits and break wills. The torturous methods were, perhaps, recieved by the reader in the same way that they were received by the characters. Again, the mirrored response from my self to tha...
Rachel and Heidi broke me with this episode. Brilliantly twisted, this episode brought out so many emotions. The authors drew me in so well, by the end I could feel the despair and hopelessness in the pit of my stomach.That evil puppet master Nikolai has come up with a horrifyingly brilliant pl...
This book was fucking with my head in a away that was driving me nuts!Just like Dougie I keep forgetting that Nikolai is the bad guy. Between all the "nice" things that Nikolai is bringing and doing to Dougie and the story that he told about himself being brought to that house and trained... My m...
I need a break! This series is so dark and so hard right from the beginning, but in this book, the transformation in Dougie and the way Nikolai broke him was the harder thing for me, it completely broke my heart.So, I will take a break from the darkness I was in the last couple of days reading th...
The rage I felt earlier in this series is gone. Followed by frustration and aggravation which now frankly, is apathy at this point. How do I feel after this book?Kill 'em. KILL THEM ALL. Dougie's a joke, Mat's a misguided and naive fool, and Nicolai's a narcissistic megalomaniac. At this point, I...
I know I'm a horrible person for saying this but I hate Dougie so much right now. How could he do those thing to his brother?? HOW ?? Those men disgust me so much! I want to kill Nikolai for breaking Dougie to this point and for all the he's doing to Mat.Even Roger... I had hopes for him but now....
One star for shortcuts. The proverb in my mother tongue warns that people who take shortcuts do not return home. Dear Ladies took shortcuts in CF14 at least twice, twice in pivotal moments for me and both times missed home. Firstly, If your aim, dear Ladies, was to convinced me that “Matt wasn'...
This review and rating are for the complete serial, rather than just this chapter of it.If you enjoy watching an auto accident and hoping someone survived, regardless of the carnage you saw, then perhaps you will enjoy this series. Mat and Doug are great, and feeling indignant and caring enough ...
Well this one is the hardest one i've had to read yet....Mat is taken back to Allen by Nikolai and although the FBI is going with him he still faces humilitation and of worst things...Nate.....What Nate is made to do is horrendous and tore me apart....The appearance of Ty and Zane made me double ...
My god, can't these boys escape the constant pain & torture? Now poor Nate can't even get out of this unscathed. I realize my mistake was to allow myself to hope...looking forward to some peace and closure when they are soo close to getting out. Right, no more hope! Got it!Glutton for punishment ...
Wow! This series has been the most intense and, at times, most difficult thing I have read. A year ago, I wouldn't have touched it. It has definitely pushed a few of my boundaries. So, so glad I took the plunge.It's been heartbreaking and brutal. My heart was with Mat, Dougie, Nate, Roger and ev...
The repetitive motion, combined with the soft lapping of Douglas’s tongue on his balls, nearly lulled him to sleep. He could sleep, if he liked. He was the master, after all, and it was his right to use his boy’s ass to his satisfaction and then leave him wanting. But no. ...
Dougie wasn’t sure how he felt about that. Part of him desperately wanted to be wrapped back up in Nikolai’s arms, in Nikolai’s private inner sanctum, borrowing Nikolai’s strength and conviction and basking in his love. But another part of him knew he needed this alone time to think, to process, ...
With a wedge at last driven between Mat and Dougie Carmichael, courtesy of Nikolai Petrovic’s expert manipulations, the brothers must each accept their new path forward: Dougie, a perfect slave, sweet and obedient and loving. Mat, a tightly reined dog, snarling and snapping but never allowed to b...
