Amazon.com Review
If you're not embarrassed to be seen carrying a book with this title, you might succumb to this lightweight tale of high adventure, in which mild-mannered college student Rachel King has a chance encounter with a compelling older woman, who turns out to be a wealthy and powerful illegal-arms dealer and--it gets better--sixth-degree black belt. Joanna Alden has abided for three years by her father's deathbed wish that she take over his criminal enterprise. But now that she meets the sweet and virginal Rachel, why, the first thing to do is to kidnap the girl and whisk her away to Joanna's island kingdom. Will Joanna persist in her evil career? And can Rachel ever grow to love her? Despite a rocky beginning and some stilted dialogue of the laugh-out-loud variety, this all-girl martial arts fable is well worth an evening's reading, and it's no more implausible than a Harlequin romance. --Regina Marler
Product Description
A young college student unexpectedly finds herself aboard a cruise ship on her way to an island paradise, the unwilling prisoner of a powerful businesswoman involved in the martial arts and president of a mysterious enterprise, the hapless prey of a blonde amazon who enjoys playing sadistic games and the pawn of a ruthless man.

 Avoid this book! August 20, 2002

I HATED this book. The story was unrealistic is about women being kidnapped and sold as sex slaves. The lead female was also raped. I love erotica but forced sex (RAPE) is not a turn on to me. If rape, being sold into sexual slavery is a turn on, then this book is for you. I wouldn't even give this book one star. HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I felt as though this lesbian novel had a good plot with fascinating characters. It kept me wondering what was going to happen next. As a lesbian and avid reader, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I don't think the author meant me to laugh as much as I did while reading this book. The plot reads like a gothic bodice-ripper but written for people who like to read about women together. It's nowhere near the amount of character development as, say, Artemis Oakgrove manages. The author also wrote a guide that supplies "1,000 sassy synonyms" for "said" and employs all of them in this book -- reminding me very much of much of how writing in kids' books is over the top to keep their interest. But the subject is grown-up, featuring submissive/dominant relationships between women. The subject matter didn't bother me, but since the characters are so poorly developed, the dominant woman didn't seem, well, like a woman, but rather a woman dropped into a part written for a man. I felt like I had read this book before with the primary protagnist as a man. Therefore I hesitate to call this book "lesbian." It would need far more character development to convince me these women were into each other and not just power.
