The Need - An Erotic Thriller

by S.L. Hannah, Jennifer Thomas (Editor)

Overview

Stood up by her boyfriend, she goes home with a woman...

Straight-laced coed Angie has never felt daring enough to...experiment. Until tonight. The skin around Heather's lips is soft, unlike the stubble Erik lets grow in, and the night unfolds like an erotic dream, tapping into an unexplored part of Angie's body and mind.

But Heather's seduction turns into a nightmare when Angie wakes up tied to the bed and is told she can't leave. Alternately seduced and tormented by her lover-turned-captor, Angie is pulled ever deeper into a twisted world of pain-for-pleasure and voyeuristic exploits. As the stakes rise, both women give into a desire for connections neither has had, and Angie's struggle to escape becomes a bigger dilemma: Would she leave if she could?

Winner of the Golden Palm Contest for New Adult Romance, this erotic thriller dares to explore the darker side of our fantasies and their sometimes unintended consequences.

Editorial Reviews

This book has it all. Romance, hate, deceit, creepiness, lust, love, violence, and even a bit of a complex sort of Stockholm syndrome relationship. From beginning to end I did not know what to expect. There was so much mystery and suspense in this book...The author really put me in the mindset of the characters and the world the story was taking place in. The ending was shocking...the story was very psychological and complex.

I was very excited to read this book, as I'm a big fan of LGBT romances and the fact that this was a thriller romance only spiced things up. The plot is freaking awesome. The idea was very original and Hannah executed it very well, leaving the reader in the edge of tension, not knowing until when Angie will survive or if Heather will push her to the point of no return. You keep asking yourself in Angie will leave the apartment in one piece, literally!

This book started off quickly and just nose dived into horror. I understood and appreciated the uniqueness of this story. However, the weakness shown by the main character confused me a little. She is intelligent and decently level headed but its almost as if Stockholm syndrome came into effect really quickly. Don't want to say too much due to spoilers. But I did love the LGBT aspect of it. The ending threw me... Overall, I would recommend this book to adult audiences. :)

Lindsey Lynn

This is a phenomenal book, with an exquisite writing style. Completely captivated, you enter a dangerous and luring world between two women. The plot is clever and it really has a story that you want to follow. Brilliant! A fun and horrifying book to read. The author is very talented and I'll probably be purchasing more of her books sometime, but The Need is completely riveting.

Savannah Abby

This naughty novel is one you're going to want to read when you have a day to give to it, because a day is all you're going to need. Typically it takes me at least a few days to get through a book. The Need? I could not put it down. I needed to know what would happen.

This book is in depth, it's dirty, it's raw. It is not for the faint of heart. And I loved every damn minute of it. What can I say? The writing and the story made it so that I was hooked from the get go.
