The ever delightful Sasha White, author of Gypsy Heart and the upcoming Berkley Trade title, Bound, is our first guest author ebuzzer. She is gonna tell us all about Toymaker by Aubrey Ross.
Well not all but enough to give us a taste, or is it a tease….
Desperate for freedom, royal concubine, Bryce, agrees to pose as a test subject for the infamous Toymaker. She will participate in his sexual study, earn his trust — then bring him to her master, but first she must get the job.
Slade is determined to save the life of his friend and mentor, Matthias, the Toymaker. Matthias has created his most ambitions toy yet, a replicant into which he will transfer his being. Though amazingly life-like, the replicant will be an emotionless husk, unless they can stimulate his intuitive programming. And what is more stimulating than sex?
Passion ignites between Slade and Bryce from the moment their eyes meet. She is supposed to arouse emotional responses in the replicant, but Slade can’t keep his hands off her. They harbor secrets both dangerous and damning. Will desire be enough to save them when her master comes after the Toymaker?
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started this story. Part of me thought the idea could be a lot of fun, another part of me thought if not careful, it could turn into a real cheesy cock-up.
However, Aubrey Ross pulled it off with style. I really enjoyed THE TOYMAKER and read it in one sitting. The plot is developed, the sex is hot and the story original. A wonderful read that I recommend for all who like their romances erotic!
