| Annabel Joseph's "Comfort Object" is an intense and provocative story about Nell a natural submissive and intelligent woman who is manipulated into accepting a new "job". Jeremy Gray is a famous actor in this story who is looking for a submissive vessel to release his stress. He uses many resources at his disposal to gain Nell's consent to accept his "job" offer. For a struggling student, this is a great financial opportunity. But for a true submissive it is a soul searching decision. Nell doesn't accept this "job" lightly or half heartedly and Jeremy does very little to make this decision easy. The mental manipulation Jeremy engages in often fuels Nell's anxiety and makes her question her decision. The sexual intimacy is explosive and soul shattering. Can Nell emotionally survive this "job" and can she be the true object of comfort Jeremy seeks?
WOW what a great read! The writer did a wonderful job writing this story. It will get your sexual juices flowing, stir your emotions, and invoke your curiosity about the characters' motives and actions. I think novels are voyeuristic in nature and this story provides a peep hole into the BDSM world. Nell and Jeremy are very strong characters. The suspense in this story really made the storyline stand out. It took me some time reading before I fully understood the title and by the end I had gained a better insight into its meaning. I enjoyed how the characters interacted. There was a beginning, middle and end to this story with both characters providing their views or speaking on how they viewed the relationship. This approach was insightful for anyone not involved in this lifestyle. The sexual interaction was creative, passionate, and powerful and at times pushed the lines of consent. There was no guessing the next move the characters would make or how the story would end. The suspense and intensity held on to the very end. I look forward to enjoying many more stories by Annabel Joseph. This story is not for the faint at heart it includes strong BDSM content.
