Reviews for Amber's Toy


Amber often finds herself in the wrong place at times, especially with the latest guy she thought was the one. Tony Jeffers always chose beautiful women, but this time he turns to overweight Amber. After two dates with him, Amber is on fire and is hopelessly in bliss until Sunday rolls around and her heart is crushed. Instead he only used her for his own conquests, deciding to try someone different. The humiliation is terrible and she decides to forego men forever. She begins volunteering her time to help others. After a trip takes her to the Amazon, she heads on another trip to help a village when the plane crashes, leaving her the sole survivor. Some natives find her, and she learns to live with them for some time and comes out a different woman, even in her features. When a survey crew locates her, she hates leaving but is glad to get back to civilization. Amber has something else on her agenda, a payback that has been burning inside her ever since Tony broke her heart. After learning about some nice little concoctions to get even with Tony, she decides the changed Amber will pay him a visit. As Amber uses her wiles to get Tony to follow her trail, Tony doesn’t know what hits him when the games begin. It is a revenge that could teach him a lesson to change for the better or end up creating something even more interesting for the two.

Amber’s Toys is definitely not your run-of-the-mill getting even story. The revenge has some perks and some moments to it that almost make the reader go ouch. Amber puts herself in the role of many women and the way they have been treated by men badly and charts a course to really get even. There were times I felt Amber’s pain and wanted to reach out to her for the way Tony treated her. It is not fun for any woman to be used as anyone’s conquests. Then again Tony gets some just desserts that really give thought. Jude Mason creates a stunning read that is loaded in heat. With some spicy hot revenge and sensual moments along the way, she weaves a tale that keeps the reader locked in the games along the way.

Amber was the quintessential average woman; many saw her as frumpy and unattractive. So when the hunky Tony Jeffers decides to pursue her, date her, and bed her she is instantly in love. He has told her she is fantastic, and then suddenly he is laughing at her and breaking her heart. She is devastated, quits her job and takes a job in a needy jungle area. Unfortunately, or fortunately, she is thrust into a completely unknown situation when her plane crashes, stranding her with a remote tribe. She is taken under the wing of the wise woman of the tribe and not only thrives but also finds a means to her revenge.

Tony Jeffers doesn’t recognize her the night she seeks her revenge. She is much slimmer, and has contacts and has changed her hair. What will he think when she takes her revenge, makes him her toy, and reveals whom she really is?

Amber’s Toy is a steamy erotic tale that will send you looking for something to fan yourself with while reading. The story is the quintessential revenge of the former plain girl, against the playboy. I did find that Tony changed his ways a little faster than I would have though possible but other than that the story was well written, and very imaginative. There is more than the normal amount of sex, some kinky, in this book, yet at the same time there are well-developed characters and an overall plot line. Amber’s Toy is a very hot story that turns the tables on the playboy for once.

Here's what Rose had to say in part.

Jude Mason brings us Amber’s Toy, a story that proves revenge is a dish that is truly best when served cold. For Amber, it is the culmination of her plan carefully placed and executed. For at least two long years she has waited for this opportunity, and now she places her self in harms way, ready willing and able, and bringing down the one man who almost ruined her life. Yup, Tony Jeffers is hers, and she is cutting him no slack. Within his bondage, Tony is fighting. He fights the need to submit, fights the woman who controls him, and fights the respect that is growing for his captor. It is hard to realize this beautiful creature who holds his sanity in her delicate hands is the one woman able to bring him to his knees. He fell for the ploy, hook, line, and sinker, and now he is learning that the old cliché about hell having no fury like a woman scored in coming true in a horrible way for him. Not only is he bound to her with ropes and straps, but by an insidious little parasite, whose terrible effects can only be controlled by Amber’s knowledge. In Amber’s Toy, the sexy little story of the careless playboy who meets his downfall at the hands of a newly minted female Dom, Jude takes us on a delightful trip of the ultimate revenge, and the ultimate discovery. To find out how this delightful story unfolds and ends, look for it in August of 2007 from Phaze. Jude Mason tells stories that titillate and excite not only the senses but the imagination, so remember to get Amber’s Toy and find out for yourself.

Yours in good reading,

Rose!

Rating:

Two years ago, Tony Jeffers used and humiliated Amber. Her appearance has changed considerably, and when she picks him up in a bar he doesn’t recognize her as the woman he used and threw away, like he has done with so many other women. Now Amber has found a unique and disturbing way to exact her revenge. Will she get her satisfaction? Will Tony see the error of his ways?

I think the hardest part about writing this review is trying not to ruin the nasty surprise that Amber has for Tony. If you are at all squeamish, you’ll want to take that into consideration before you start reading. Amber’s methods made me squirm, but not necessarily in a good way. I’m thankful that no one has ever pissed me off to this extent. But if you like the idea of an extreme revenge story or if you’re intrigued out of sheer morbid curiosity, read on.

I wasn’t completely comfortable with the fact that, while Tony does go home with Amber willingly, he doesn’t know the extent of what he’s getting himself into. For me, good BDSM is with two or more consenting adults. To her credit, she does ask him repeatedly if he’s enjoying what she’s doing to him – and he says yes. Honestly, that surprised me. He says he’s turned on by her taking control and standing up to him. Hey, good for her.

Overall, I’m not sure how I feel about this as a romance (though it does have the necessary elements), but as a revenge story with the potential to make your flesh crawl, it's top notch.
