The Empress- New Clothes Description:
The Empress' New Clothes review: 5 stars (New clothes? How about no clothes?) - Ahhhheemmm. Cough, cough (fanning blushing face as we read). Let's see, how to start. Well, first of all, everyone should keep in mind that this is a one hundred percent complete fantasy. It's about a totally new culture and race of people. I think Jaid Black did a superb job of creating another world. Even with all the sex in this book (and I mean A LOT of sex), the author still manages to develop her characters sufficiently enough to make a reader happy. At least, happy enough with this type of genre, which is, of course, erotica.
That said, I absolutely hated the High King, Zor! Before I get too ahead of myself, I'll summarize. Kyra, our main gal, is on a retreat on good 'ole present day earth with her best pal, Geris. She's trying to find inner peace after her sister has been missing for a year. At the end of their retreat, the woman are more than up for a little letting loose, but as they prepare to leave, they spy two too-good-to-be-true gorgeous men ogling them. Without further ado, Kyra's clothes are literally ripped (yes, as ridiculous as it sounds, ripped) from her body as the dark haired man roars towards her. That dark haired man is our main guy, the High King of the Trek Mi Q'an Galaxy (try saying that six times fast), a.k.a Zor. This guy, Zor, is a totallly domineering larger than life, at times Neanderthal-like hunk of a speciman. In fact, all the men from his seventh dimension are. He has claimed, and kidnapped, Kyra to be his High Queen and Empress. Not only is she only allowed to wear these ridiculous sheer outfits in public, but she has to be completely naked whenever in her unasked-for husband's presence. Did I mention all the sex before too? Yes? Okay. Keep in mind it's a manditory part of the culture in the book(My, my, aren't we lucky little readers). This book is dedicated to exploring their relationship as it develops from one of difficulty to one of... well, read it for yourself. I'm not spoiling anything for you here! Yes, I hated Zor in the beginning, but I grew to love him by the end.
So, you might be asking me, why, oh, why, did I give this five stars? Because, it made me laugh my pants off! After I got past the whole Kyra will never have her old life again thing and the constant, the neverending sex (which can only begin to frustrate a reader because real life is never like this) and Zor's pompous attitude (which does get better!) I found myself really enjoying this book. The amount of sex the characters have, the unbelievable attitudes of the men, the way the women give birth, it's all hilarious! There are so many characters in it your head may spin though. Ms. Black is definitely setting up for many more books in this series. And as many as there are, characters that is, I was surprised at how well I came to know them. Black is definitely talented at writing emotion into her characters with limited wording. Readers may be offended by some goings on in this book, but keep in mind that it is a fantasy and take it for what it is. You'll enjoy it a whole lot more if you do. And for those that like a good wrapped up ending, you'll get it here. Remember all those many, many characters I mentioned? Black wraps up (or opens up depending on who it is) all of them for you.
So prepare to be slightly offended, mildly intrigued by the same stuff that offended you, temptingly titillated and, hopefully, very pleased with this book. Wonderful, Ms. Black. Simply wonderful. This one's a keeper. 5 stars (Hot! Hot ! Hot!) - Wow! Words can hardly express how good this book is. It was funny and erotic. Zor is a sexy and strong High King and has taken Kyra from earth to be his High Queen on the planet Tryston. There is sex everywhere in this book. I couldn't put it down. Kyra adjusts to her new life and falls in love with Zor. She also helps Zor's brother Dak to find his Sacred Mate. She just happens to be Kyra's best friend Geris, also from Earth. There's also lots of adventure in this book. Jaid Black is great. I have already read Seized and have ordered the rest of the series. I advise you to do the same. 5 stars (speachless) - that is how this book left me, without words. i will recommende this BOOK to everybody out there. Fabuloso,wonderfull, hot. I loved ZOR & KYRA story all that hot and sweaty wild sex left me out of breath. If you to need to put some spicy back into your life hurry and buy this book, you will not regreted.
