| It's the year 2225 and the future is bleak for the women of the United Federation of Earth. Due to mutant genes only select men and women are allowed to breed and the chance of Aurora d'Alessandro being one of those women had been rescinded. She had been raised as one of the chosen one's for twenty-two of her twenty-seven years, but suddenly it is over and she is deemed unfit. The price she will pay will be dear…she'll be turned into a sexless drone, devoid of emotion's through a lobotomy and surgically altered to remove her breasts and reproductive organs.
Aurora accepts her sentence; after all it is necessary to ensure the survival of the human race to prevent the mutant genes from spreading. But she wants one last experience…one that is forbidden…sex with a man. The quandary is where to find this opportunity? On Utopia, the United Federation of Earth, it is taboo and therefore she must seek another planet. Obsidian fits the bill. Known for both pain and pleasure, Obsidian houses the resort known as The Gates of Hell where the specialty is domination or submission, depending on the client's choice. And there, Aurora meets her craving in the form of Brad Gilbreath her Master and soon to be lover. Brad was stranded on Obsidian when his spaceship malfunctioned and he has been recruited as a Master to teach domination. Brad bides his time while secretly repairing his ship and preparing to escape Obsidian for his own planet Luna Ten where he can rejoice in freedom, long denied to him. But when Brad meets Aurora his plans change slightly…he wants Aurora for his own and means to have her. In Gates of Hell Ann Jacobs weaves an engrossing futuristic tale of highly erotic and sexually charged romance. Tinged with BDSM as a teasing premise, the story offers readers an exciting glimpse into a future where everything is regulated and controlled and freedom is for the outlaws and rebels. I admit to not usually finding futuristics at the top of my reading preferences but this book may have reformed me.
