Vanessa Marlow is a psuedonum for Cheryl Holt. And I normally like Holt with the exception of her last few releases. Unfortunately this one also falls way off its mark. This book is described as a novel of sensual obsession but to me it wasn't sensual at all. Sensual implies love or at the very least affection. However, the sex scenes were dry, stilted, controlling. It's about a psychopath luring a normal woman into his crazy world of obsession, mental, physical and sexual abuse. There's no love here. I enjoy erotica and have read my fair share, but this doesn't qualify. It makes me wonder why a romance/erotica novelist would want to write something so disturbingly unappealing.
