Reviews:
"What would be the ultimate
accomplishment for a writer? I suppose there can't be only one answer to that
question, but surely the achievement of making the reader near weep with
sympathy for a plight he or she could not possibly have understood before the
reading must count among the possible replies. Blood Slave accomplishes this,
and then some." ~ Whipped Cream Reviews
"First, let me just say that the first
story is hot. I'll even go so far as to say Smokin' Hot. It's short, but it
packs a nice punch...As for the writing elements, the plot is creative and
different and I enjoyed it. The pacing is fine, prose and dialogue are well
done, character development is good for the short story we are given, and
world-building is well done and gives us a different take of the world of
vampires..." ~ BDSM Book Reviews
"Ms. Houston's teasingly short offering
in Blood Slave is like a "sample" box of decadent dark-chocolate
bonbons: decidedly delicious, infinitely edible and entirely too small despite
its delivery of great satisfaction. She takes a hardcore aspect of BDSM and
gives it enough purpose to bring the whole scene to the "light side"
of the spectrum. The four heroes are developed with lightening speed (and a
smattering of details) into men in which I find myself fully invested by the
middle of each of their stories. Her concise yet, somehow, lush peeks into the
workings of the characters' minds are all the direction my imagination needed
to set the stage and pull me into the middle of the action. Ms. Houston
demonstrates a definite understanding of what it takes to execute a perfect
short story. She does it beautifully." ~ Sensual ECata Romance Reviews
"I'm hoping Michelle Houston will
introduce us to a few more vampires in need of a good blood slave." ~
