Review: When I saw the title to this story I thought that it would be a winner. Although I wasn’t sure about the cover for the story. It just comes off as a bit off to me. I tried to find the blurb to this story, but could not locate it. So I went on a whim and choose it. It is by an author that I have not heard of, nor have I read so I was taking a chance.

It is pretty much placed in a bar or club. Richard offers to help those who come in, seeing as he is a therapist. He uses the hypnotic suggestion to help. They only have to rent a hotel room, relax and let it go. This is how he meets Josh. Josh had lost his girlfriend and his job. So he wasn’t looking for more than a drink. Then Richard offers to help. I don’t think he was expecting nor wanting Richard’s true type of help. It changes everything for him.

The way Richard helps, to me is nothing more than rape. Just like giving someone the date rape pill, but Richard’s uses hypnosis. I was disappointed in this story and definitely would not read it again. It has a lot of heat to it, but there is no true story or plot. It lacks true depth to make it a good story. I do not like the idea of screwing with someone at all so that brought it down in all points.

I was disappointed in the whole book.
