Yet, the Captive Prince trilogy transcended even my expectations, for a couple reasons … Reading it can set the mood and give you fun ideas for your own boudoir.

I’ve written articles previously about how good erotica can be for your sex life. Pacat strung me along … and along … and along … which was why, when things finally, blessedly, went down, my husband didn’t stand a chance. The sexual tension was off the charts. I writhed on furniture every time Laurent looked at Damen funny, every time Damen remembered how gorgeous Laurent really was. Halfway through book one, I ordered books two and three. However, they soon build a begrudging camaraderie, especially since Damen needs to play nice to get back to his home country and murder his conniving brother. Damen is disgusted at the thought of being a slave, especially to Laurent, but luckily, it’s known far and wide that Laurent doesn’t spread his legs for anyone. In the world created by Pacat, men sleep with men, and it’s the normal way of things, as are sex slaves.

But Laurent is all grown up now, and he does not play nice. Damen recognizes the name, of course, since he murdered Laurent’s older brother on the battlefield years ago. There, his true identity secret, he is chosen to be personal slave to ice cold Prince Laurent. It’s the story of Prince Damen who is betrayed by his brother and sent as a sex slave to their enemy country. Captive Princewent on to become a USA Today bestseller and for good reason.

The trilogy began as an original-fiction web serial, which attracted viral attention before being acquired by Penguin. I added it to my Amazon Wish List and forgot about it until, by chance, I saw something about the trilogy online and thought I’d buy the first book, just to give it a try. Once upon a time, a friend of mine, who knew I liked erotica, told me about this series called Captive Prince. What he didn’t know, when I glanced up from my book, was that after hundreds of pages of sexual tension, Damen and Laurent were finally having sex - so that meant my husband had a frisky wife on his hands, and … Granted, Jake did have on some spectacularly sexy black trousers and a slim cut button down, so he knew he looked good. My husband was an innocent bystander when he came home to find me more than halfway through CS Pacat’s Captive Prince trilogy.
