Summary: THE BEST of Jaid Black
Comment: This is a full length futuristic time travel and boy does it sizzle. If you like erotic romance I recommend anything by this author but most especially this series and Warlord.
Rating: 5
Summary: A MUST HAVE FOR ROMANTICA READERS
Comment: This has got to be the ultimate of all romantica novels. First you cannot go wrong with a Jaid Black story, she writes very hot romantica. Secondly, this story - the first in the Trek Mi'Qan series - introduces you to quite a collection of characters and worlds that anybody worth their salt would beg to go visit.
If you have never partaken in the romantica experience then this is a good place to start - you will not put this book down once you start!
The only drawback is that once you read one you MUST read them all! Which to a reader is really no drawback at all!

Summary: Don't know where to begin
Comment: First, let me start out that I broke the golden rule of reading Seized before The Empresses' New Clothes. I am glad that I did; I wouldn't have spent the money on Seized if I read this book first.
I know the reviewers who did not like the book is a small minority, but I wonder when this book first came out on cd-rom a few years ago perhaps there wasn't much competition out there in this genre. Maybe that explains the cult following and overflowing praise. To call Ms. Black prolific is quite misleading, Ms. Black is a very sweet warm woman who appreciates her fans, but this critique is not on her personality but of this book.
While Seized also had its share of misogyny, the Empress had enough of it to last a lifetime. More than being offended, I am amazed how women still want to be dominated and sexual subjugated by men. Ms. Black's books speak of the larger society on how it views heterosexual relationships. The predator/prey union, which has been symbolized as erotic. We as the readers are along for the ride as the female protagonist, Kyra. Like Kyra, we are forced to convince ourselves that this barbaric world of female passivity is sexy. (...) I agree with some readers that the advanced technology didn't fit with the behavior that screamed Dark Ages.
I respect dissent; and I can't fault women who found the book engaging. To each their own. I don't think I'll be picking up Ms. Black's books in the future. Women who are forced to act like children, who are not allowed to grow and become leaders, and who rely on men for their sexual pleasure is not a turn on. I thought Geris and Kyra's escape from the palace and being found out by their husbands was laughable. The women were reduced to children being scolded by their parents. The end read like an I Love Lucy episode, where Krya and Geris were Lucy and Ethel, it was embarrassing. At times reading this book I was praying for Kyra to escape. Why do people find women being forced to strip naked, being felt up against their will sexy?
I feel this book is very over hyped. Don't expect too much from this if you do pick it up. If you're into female passivity and men controlling their every move then you'll enjoy this one.
