      Synopsis

      Determined not to repeat her mother's mistakes, high school dropout and unrepentant heartbreaker Charity Wills jumps at the chance to attend college for free. There's just one little catch...

      She must travel to the estate of reclusive physicist B.G. Grantham, who likes to play sex games as exotic as the particles he studies-and is obsessed with the thrill of being refused the one thing he craves. But Charity is more than up to the challenge-especially when Eric Berne, her sexy "keeper," lends a hand.

      Behind the locked doors of Grantham's isolated mansion, the games begin. So does the education of Charity Wills-who's about to discover that the possibilities for sensual indulgence are beyond anything her wildest dreams ever allowed...

      March 12, 2009: i agree with the last poster! the story DID fall flat when E.H. attempted to use science in her plot. her talent lies in that which is carnal, not scientific and everytime i read a bit which made no sense scientifically, i was a bit turned off to her as an author. shortly thereafter though, i'd read a bit of kink and be excited all over again lol. ooo the lust this woman inspires is just amazing. i'd like to take a romp through her mind sometime ;)

      so please, just stick to the smut, ms. holly! you've never gone wrong there lol.

      September 22, 2008: This story isn't perfect, far from it actually. The quantum mechanics subplot fell flat and came to no successful conclusion. She took some liberties with the particle accelerator but all that can be excused because obviously, this story's main purpose is to arouse, which it does pretty well. Like much erotic fiction, the premise is a stretch but it's a case of the ends justifying the means.
