Description

     Race is a private eye, ex-cop in the year 2105. As a left over from an undercover mission he must struggle to control Ralph, an artificial personality implanted in Race so that he could infiltrate the crime syndicates. Ralph is a sociopath, immune to the anti-violence conditioning everyone receives at the age of ten. The Race personality retains control of his body until Astra, Race's secret fantasy, is slipped protoerotoskillen, a drug that turns her into a love-slave. To save Astra, Race releases the Ralph personality so that he can force Todd, Astra's handler, to tell him how to counter the drug.

     Race also forces Todd to give evidence against the crime syndicate to the police.

     Lois, a dirty cop breaks Todd out of police custody and takes him to Percival, the local crime boss. Percival becomes aware of Ralph's existence and decides to increase Race's stress level so that the Ralph personality can take control. With the precision of a chess master Percival uses protoerotoskillen and venusfly, a drug that induces a nearly irresistible lust, to manipulate Race's family and friends towards their destruction.

     Will Race realise his loved ones are under attack in time to save them? Is Astra's love real or drug induced, and will it be enough to hold Race's sanity together? What does Ralph think of this situation, and can a sociopath learn to love? Most importantly, how can a man who can't hit back defend what he holds dear?

•      Anyone Up For A Hot Erotic Romance?

       I must say it's been a long time since I've had the opportunity to read a hot erotic romance novel. And I'm not talking about your grandma's smutty harlaquin novels either. Stephen Pearl rocks out these books, which includes, Slaves of Love and the Hollow Curse.

       So, let's begin with the Hollow Curse, and allow me to enlighten you on this fantastic read. The Hollow Curse is about Ben and Alysia, incarnations of soul mates cursed in a previous life until they can accept their love. Although the book plays out in current day the characters experience their past lives from the fifteen hundreds. With dark forces and a witch casting a curse, some will do anything to keep these lovers torn apart. Through the book, the story of Ben and Andrea, Alysisa's last incarnation is spun out of control and they are forced to remember and recall their lives together. I will say this isn't your modern day love story. Boy meets girl, boy gets girl and they fall in love. This book has struggles and make you take time to reflect on your own past lives and make you think twice about holding on to vengeance towards old lovers and just live for the now.

       Slaves of Love was the exact opposite. Maybe I just enjoyed it because what girl doesn't enjoy a little dirty something now and then. Slaves of Love will take you into the life of Race, a private detective who happens to be an ex cop, but set in the year 2105. Race also has a little bit of a leftover, from a previous assignment, Ralph, an artificial personality. Then, we enter Astra, Race's secret fantasy and the key to a big time drug on the streets. This book opens up the doors between reality and fantasy and I loved every minute of it. Usually not big on science fiction but this story stood its ground and made me want more. When I came to the last page, I was like, 'That's it? That's all I get?"

       Anyhow, enough of about my thoughts, let's talk to Stephen Pearl himself and find out about how he came up with these kick ass books and what else is in store for us.
