Model Chastity Ambrose needs a lot of money fast. Not knowing what else to do, she signs on for an erotic reality game show, with the grand prize of one hundred million dollars. What she did not count on was finding the man she left at the altar two years earlier as her opponent.

Seth Allen has waited a long time for his revenge, and can think of nothing more effective than acting as Chastity’s Master at Ecstasy Island, a BDSM pleasure retreat on the planet Zygoman. But being with Chastity again makes vengeance seem less and less important…

When betrayal threatens them both, can they survive with their lives and their hearts intact?

I have rapidly become an increasingly avid fan of MacKenzie McKade’s work, and the Ectasy series showcases her talents as well as or better than any of her other work that I have read so far. In Ectsasy Book 1: The Game, McKade has the opportunity to create a universe strictly from her own imagination, and quite adeptly. Never has this author’s skill with her extensive vocabulary been more used more effectively than in the way she vividly paints a picturesque landscape of this futuristic world.

Be aware that the story is very intensely BDSM themed. Even with Seth’s revenge motive, however, never is Chastity ill-treated by Seth. Those who enjoy explicit ménage scenes will find something more to love about this series, in the form of the three Thorenson brothers, who run the pleasure planet.

The Game rates supernova on the heat scale, and has plenty of plot to support the heat. McKade delivers a well-rounded tale with several villains, countered by several heroes, and loads of suspense, finished off with what is ultimately a heartbreaking love story with a satisfying ending.

Not too long ago, I believed that BDSM themed stories were ‘not my thing’, but it is stories like this that are swiftly changing my mind!
