Product Description

Ghost Unit - Full Ride By Gail Faulkner Prin nervously crossed her legs and signed the contract. Was she crazy? Yes! Crazy, desperate, and all things people are when they agree to do something insane. She held a contract outlining one night of submission to a stranger! Submission so complete, his requirements for preparation before presentation of herself to him made her blush while her womb tightened in anticipation. She would do anything to escape the dreams. Would this work? God, she hoped so. Wrenching dreams that came almost every night. The man in them never varied, his control of her body and its responses drove her to the edge of sanity. She'd wake up screaming for release, finding nothing but wet sheets and an empty house. Tall, dark and dominate, he'd long since accepted being alone for this lifetime. He'd met his lady, lover and submissive, but only in the dreams. Dream Walking is a door to the past or future, but never the present. She entered the suite and the unimaginable reality of his woman alive in this time exploded across his brain. She assumed the required stance. Now, spread naked before him stood everything he'd never dared hope for. Ghost Unit - Slip Knot By Gail Faulkner Book two in the Ghost Unit series. Rem has found the woman he needs. Recently retired from Special Forces, he's seen the worst the world has to offer. Like a caged beast gazing at freedom, he's hungered for Kathryn from their first encounter. Accidentally discovering her dark, sexual side only fuels his obsession with the elusive, delectable body she inhabits. Rem is determined to become her lover. If he can capture her sexually, he'll find a way to hold onto her. Kathryn is intent on shedding her bleak past. But the past has a way of biting a person on the butt. Sinister and deadly, it follows her into her new life. Rem's protection is heavenly, if only she can remember he's doing it because his sister is in danger as well. The danger stalking them catches Kathryn in its deadly grip. Nothing in his life has prepared Rem to watch his love suffer its rage. The beast leashed within his soul for so long knows what to do. Loving her with everything he is, or ever was, is the price he will pay for redemption.

Customer Reviews

Two books in one...
Ghost Unit: Knot Tonight is the first time that two ebooks by Gail Faulkner (from Ellora's Cave) have been seen in print: #1. Full Ride and #2 Slip Knot.

If you like alpha men with a military background, romantic suspense (in one case) and hot sex (in both cases), you'll like these novelettes. Since no "blurb" is included on this web page, following are the two blurbs from the ebooks:

1. Full Ride. Prin nervously crossed her legs and signed the contract. Was she crazy? Yes! Crazy, desperate, and all things people are when they agree to do something insane. She held a contract outlining one night of submission to a stranger! Submission so complete, his requirements for preparation before presentation of herself to him made her blush while her womb tightened in anticipation.

She would do anything to escape the dreams. Would this work? God, she hoped so. Wrenching dreams that came almost every night. The man in them never varied, his control of her body and its responses drove her to the edge of sanity. She'd wake up screaming for release, finding nothing but wet sheets and an empty house.

Tall, dark and dominate, he'd long since accepted being alone for this lifetime. He'd met his lady, lover and submissive, but only in the dreams. Dream Walking is a door to the past or future, but never the present.

She entered the suite and the unimaginable reality of his woman alive in this time exploded across his brain. She assumed the required stance. Now, spread naked before him stood everything he'd never dared hope for.

2. Slip Knot. Rem has found the woman he needs. Recently retired from Special Forces, he's seen the worst the world has to offer. Like a caged beast gazing at freedom, he's hungered for Kathryn from their first encounter. Accidentally discovering her dark, sexual side only fuels his obsession with the elusive, delectable body she inhabits. Rem is determined to become her lover. If he can capture her sexually, he'll find a way to hold onto her.

Kathryn is intent on shedding her bleak past. But the past has a way of biting a person on the butt. Sinister and deadly, it follows her into her new life. Rem's protection is heavenly, if only she can remember he's doing it because his sister is in danger as well.

The danger stalking them catches Kathryn in its deadly grip. Nothing in his life has prepared Rem to watch his love suffer its rage. The beast leashed within his soul for so long knows what to do. Loving her with everything he is, or ever was, is the price he will pay for redemption.

Note: Not for the faint of heart.

Hunky alpha military males in two stories: a dom/sub story and a suspense story about a killer stalking two women.
3 stars for FULL RIDE.

Story Brief:
Gray has an American Indian heritage. His culture talks of Dream Walking, interacting with another in their dreams. For two years he and Prin experience dreams together even though they have never met. Dave is a friend to both of them and sets them up on a blind date of sorts, for one night together. Gray is a dominant and Prin wants to experience one night as a submissive. When they first see each other that night, they each realize they have been dreaming of each other.

Reviewer's Opinion:
If you're in the mood for a dominant alpha male who is so in love with a woman he can't bear to be apart from her (he carries her around the house, dresses her, feeds her, loves her and cherishes her), you'll like this. The other side of the coin is in the bedroom: total domination by him and submission by her. The bedroom scenes were a little too humiliating for my taste, but not all stories need to be to my taste. There is a lot of rear door activity. The plot was simple. All the characters are good, loving people. There is a feel good ending. I liked it, but I can't say I really liked it, which is my definition for 4 stars. Nothing was wrong with it; I just wanted to be surprised or delighted more in order to give it more stars.

Data:
Story length: 137 pages. Sexual language: strong/erotic. Number of sex scenes: 8. Total number of sex scene pages: 57. Setting: current day U.S. Copyright: 2005. Genre: erotic contemporary romance.



3.5 stars for SLIP KNOT.

Story Brief:
Kat is Tiffany's best friend. Kat has been in love with Tiffany's older brother Rem for 3 years, but never showed it. Rem has also been attracted to Kat during that time but never showed it. Rem overhears Kat talking about wanting to have sex with someone. He decides to take a chance and start a relationship with her. It doesn't go well due to inaccurate assumptions on Kat's part. A bad guy wants to kill Kat and Tiffany for different reasons. Rem and his military buddies discover the threat and take Kat and Tiffany into hiding. Rem takes Kat to his home on an island for awhile. This gives them a chance to begin a relationship.

Reviewer's Opinion:
I did not like the first interaction between Rem and Kat. She had wanted him for 3 years. Finally he shows interest, and she is furious at him. She assumes he's doing it for the wrong reason, she twists his words around, she stomps off and lets him think that she hates him. After that the story was good for romance and suspense. I didn't want to put it down because I wanted to know what would happen. This is another one of those dominant alpha males, special forces military, wealthy, who cherishes and loves only one woman. He carries her around, cooks for her, feeds her and obsessively loves her. Rem and Kat are almost always touching each other, whether in a group or alone. It's a little over the top with the way Rem exaggerates in his thinking "I'll make him pay" or "I'll kill him" when he thinks about someone hurting Kat. The bad guy was smart. He did a couple of things that surprised me. I was bothered by the following. Rem was to kill a bad guy near the end, but the author never showed any details of this. Kat says take care of this person before you see me. The next scene is Rem seeing her. I assume he killed the bad guy. There is a torture scene with rear door activity which may be unsettling for some.

Data:
Story length: 199 pages. Sexual language: strong/erotic. Number of sex scenes: 8. Total number of sex scene pages: 42. Setting: current day Florida plus a Caribbean island. Copyright: 2005. Genre: erotic romantic suspense.

Full Ride: Joyfully Recommended Read!
Prin is a submissive and has been without a master since the death of her husband. After four long years, Prin has finally admitted to herself that she needs to submit to a master, and that is what she is going to do for the next twelve hours. Prin doesn't know her temporary master but when she walks through the door of the hotel room, she stops in shock. It is the man who visits her nightly in her dreams! He is the reason she is there. Without him, Prin would be able to sleep without waking up in unfulfilled agony. Assuming the required position, Prin's time with her Dom has begun.

Gray Winston is stuck speechless as the woman of his dreams walks into the hotel room. When he is able to speak again, he begins to show Prin just how dominant he can be by taking her on a journey from where there will be no going back. There is just one problem. The contract they had drawn up explicitly states that this encounter is for one night only, and Gray doesn't know if he can let her go when their time together is finished.

After an intense, highly erotic night, Prin and Gray part ways. Or so she thinks. Not used to relying on anyone but herself, Prin is in for the surprise of her life.

Full Ride absolutely left me breathless. Extremely powerful, it took every preconceived notion I had about dominance and submission and threw them out of the window. Gray made my heart pound and my body sweat. He is one of the most powerful male characters I have ever read about. As for Prin, I have to applaud her tenacity and the guts it took to submit to a stranger. Together, these characters are unforgettable.

Full Ride took me for a ride, and that is a fact. I adored this book. While BDSM is one of my favorite genres to read, Full Ride holds a special place in my heart for two reasons. It was my first look at D/s and, it was the first book I ever read by Gail Faulkner. I have read every one of her books since and I plan to continue reading novels penned by this wonderful woman.
