Search - The Possession

The heroine is a starched up, prissy college professor with cats. The hero calls her Professor Prickly and she has been starring in his fantasies for two years. He is a self made man with money and position. The professor thinks he has two attitudes, surly and surlier. So why has he been starring in her fantasies for the last two years?

Faced with aging into the stereotypical spinster with too many cats, the heroine decides to sign up as one of the girls provided at a 'fantasy for guys only' private island 'off the coast of San Francisco'. This part made me laugh, the ladies walk around in the buff the whole time - on an island off of the San Francisco - in March? It's WAY too cold, and goose flesh is so NOT a good look! Inevitably the hero shows up that weekend with the usual results. He wants, she wants, they want - have to 'win' her from others, buy her at auction, spend the rest of the trip in bed with them both hoping it will go beyond the week and afraid to say so... Reasonably vanilla dom/sub - he likes to tie her up and tell her what to do in the bedroom - although I found that he referred to his penis in the third person a bit disturbing.

It's a fun and sexy read-once. A sequel 'The Addiction' is mentioned [and teased in the story] but I can't find any record of it.

Wow, is this one steamy. Brainy aging woman wants to experience something wild but little does she know a colleage will be there to see. He's been wanting her and she's been wanting him too, so what happens when they finally get their chance is something that will burn them both up. Ms. Black really knows how to write steamy books with a good story. Enjoy!

I loved this book! Fun, very sexy and romantic. Yeah, corny ending, but that's ok, part of the fun. I'm hooked and will be ordering all the Jaid Black's I can!

Well, that was fun! This story has great fantasy appeal. Jack was delicious in his manly, possessive way. It was fun to see him go through the competitive paces to ensure he was the one to 'win' Kris. And I think most of us can see at least a little bit of ourselves in Kris, an extremely passionate yet lonely person hiding behind her geeky, unassuming exterior, so it was exciting to live vicariously through her special fantasy. The editing could have been better, but the story was better than average with a very appealing main couple who scorched the pages. 4 stars.

The man in the book seemed more like a caricature than a real person. He's your typical alpha male hell bent on having the woman he wants. The woman he wants seemed like a cartoon. She's the frigid, highly educated professional woman who is a bitch to work with. She of course only needs good sex to break her out of her self-imposed shell. The sex is pretty hot and extremely graphic, but I also found the whole "daddy" bit very off-putting. Compared to some of Jaid Black's other books, this one wasn't that bizarre.

This was a good book. Quick read, perfect for a day at the beach.
