Book #1, Nectar for the Gods. Sophie Kisker has created an erotic sci-fi romance that's unpredictable and deliciously dark!
Do alternative realities exist? Tressa Overton never gave it much thought until the day she's pulled through a rift to Anteros. When she awakens, she's folded nearly in half in a too small cage in a warehouse. How'd this happen? Why? As she endures physical, emotional, even sexual torment, her cage ends up thrown aside in a corner, abandoned. Terrified? Oh, yes! But this is just the beginning! She soon learns three things. One, she's on another world, in an alternate reality. Two, there's no way back to Earth. Three, she's now something called a Nectar slave, owned by twin brothers, Joram and Keilat Dersa, with no rights whatsoever. She's theirs to use as they see fit. But that's not the end of it, not by a long shot. Tressa's no doormat. Feisty, defiant, full of rage, she fights the brothers tooth and nail. But Anterrins are huge, muscled, and dominant in the extreme. How does she stand a chance? Then comes the kicker. Tressa's not just a regular Nectar slave. She's a rare, once-in-a-lifetime find... a gola'a slave, a very valuable commodity, As Tressa tries to come to terms with her new existence and the unspeakable tortures used to produce the nectar the brothers demand, she and the brothers push each other to the limits. Hatred and disobedience from Tressa meet with sure and swift punishment. But the brothers find themselves fascinated by the little human. She's intelligent, beautiful, so different from anything they expected. She stirs something in them. And Tressa? She's learning things about herself she can't believe! Then, just as life seems to fall into a rhythm, betrayal rears its ugly head! The threat was always there, but when it finally arrives, no one's prepared for the consequences. When Tressa's defiance and anger erupt at the worst possible time, are the three prepared for the consequences? Tressa's punishment is beyond cruel and may just end her. What about Joram and Keilat? Tressa may be their property, but there's more they're not prepared to admit. Unknown to anyone, there are forces that may be stronger than any of them can deal with. In the end, is Tressa worth all this trouble? Do Joram and Keilat even want to deal with the trouble she's brought to their doorstep? Can they? Or will the powers arrayed against them take everything and leave nothing but brokenness in their wake?I adore Sophie Kisker! She's one of the few authors who's on my automatic buy list. She's once again created a story filled with deliciously dark eroticism, twists and turns, a true roller coaster ride of emotions, with action and adventure woven in. Tressa is captivating! Ms. Kisker's crafted a unique heroine who's strong, brave, and utterly fearless in many ways. Yet throughout the book, as Tressa faces forces that would break a lesser person, she learns more and more about herself and proves just how people can grow, adapt, and ultimately overcome so very much. I started out despising Joram, Keilat, and pretty much everyone on Anteros. But appearances are often misleading. Keilat and Joram are so much more than stereotypical one-dimensional evil characters. In fact, every character in this book has layer upon layer of depth and character you seldom find in any book. I fell in love with Tressa, her fire, her feistiness. Joram and Keilat are so much more than you initially believe. I felt every second of every emotion at both ends of the spectrum and every point in between. The despair, utter chaos, moments of hope, snippets of peace, and the totally unexpected ending are riveting. Ms. Kisker has written an extraordinary story filled with terror, anguish, and uncertainty. But yet she still gives us hope. I adored Owned, and can't give it anything less than five stars! Thank you, Ms. Kisker, for such an incredible story!One final note. Be an informed reader! This is an ADULT book. It contains explicit language and some dark, nonconsensual/dubious consensual sexual scenes. If you don't enjoy this genre, this may not be the book for you. There are book synopses and reviews available on Goodreads and Amazon. Use these resources. DON'T LEAVE A NEGATIVE REVIEW WHEN YOU KNOW YOU WON'T ENJOY THE BOOK. It's not fair to the author. She works extremely hard to provide a quality work product. If you know you'll object to the book's subject matter before you buy it, you're doing yourself and the author an extreme disservice.Thanks for reading my review and happy reading!

Spirited away
Sophie Kisker writes some really, really hot stories with incredibly dominant males and strong yet submissive women. She's topped herself when it comes to Owned.Tressa is a human woman who has been abducted and taken to Anteros. Human women are valued because they produce a nectar that Anterrin men love and can be addicted to. When each woman orgasms, she produces the nectar that the men want.Joram and Keilat are twin brothers. When Joram rescues Tressa from being disposed of, he doesn't do it out of the goodness of his heart, he suspects that she is something called a gola'a nectar. These women produce a very special flavor and they are extraordinarily rare. He knows that he will be able to get a good price for either her or her nectar. He just wants to make sure that his family is taken care off, and Tressa is the perfect way to do that.Since it's a Sophie Kisker book, you know that you are going to get some really hot sex along with a really hot story. You also know that you are going to get spankings, more spankings, and oh yeah, did I say spankings? Owned has all that and even more, and it is as addictive as the Anterrin men find human women. This is definitely a book where you want to take the time to savor and enjoy.

Steamy, sadistic sci-fi
The second book in the series (at least in the order of the box set, and I think it's a logical reading order) is set on Anteros in the kingdom of Raelia. The heroine, Tressa, is snatched off Earth and enslaved, but discarded because her "nectar" doesn't taste right. She's "rescued" by Joram who recognises that she's a very special "nectar" producer, and sets up a way of collecting her "nectar," first the repay the loan with which he bought her and second as tribute to the King.Because orgasms taint Tressa's nectar, she's edged throughout this story. Her "saviour," Joram, doesn't see her as a sentient being, at least not initially, and is only interested in her as a means to an end, so he treats her poorly. Joram as a character is a little tough to like, but does grow more sympathetic through the course of the story. His twin, Keilat, recognises Tressa's innate worth more readily and is supportive of Tressa as she tries to acclimatise to her new life. I could see Tressa falling for Keilat, while her attraction for Joram felt a little forced. To me, this story contained the most extreme of the power-exchanges in the series, between the edging and the caging.The author does a great job of building tension through the story. Joram's a bit of a hustler and there's a sense of impending doom that escalates as Tressa's special status is discovered and she gets called in front of the King. She has a TSTL moment that was a little bothersome, but I understand why it was necessary from a plot perspective. The scene where the twins finally claim Tressa was as much a relief for the reader as it was for poor Tressa, but it's not for the faint of heart. If you like hard-core power-exchange, this is the book for you.

This book combined everything I love in erotica
This book combined everything I love in erotica: mfm, non-con, aliens, characters who are overlooked rare finds (don't we all want to find out that's what we are?), characters who start off believing one thing about themselves and what they want and end up learning they've had hidden, deeper longings all along. I love Sophie Kisker - every book she writes. But "Nectar for the Gods: Owned" rises near the top of my Sophie Kisker library. Loved it, loved Tressa and her story. Loved the conceit of males needing, longing for women to orgasm (even if it's for their own purposes). I can only hope Sophie writes more stories about Anterros, cause one (or two) is simply not enough.

I really enjoyed this story
I really enjoyed this story. Tressa was a strong character although at times she would have been better to have been more cautious. Joram and Keilat made a good alpha pair. At times I was on the edge of my seat, willing for everything to work out ok. Hopefully there will be more to come from this series!

Stolen
Tressa is going about her business on Earth when she's suddenly stolen and transported to an alien world and her transition is brutally explicit and jaw-dropping. Two brothers Joram and Keilat buy her as their personal nectar slave and um, put her to work.I've been reading all forms of sci-fi for decades and this is one of the more well done cases of world-building that I've had the pleasure to read. Joram and Keilat have emotions and fallibility like humans but they are aliens with different standards and norms. Their relationship with Tressa from captors to lovers to mates takes place but at a believable pace. Mistakes are made but they earn their happy ending.And the scenes, phew. Ms. Kisker knows how to write steamy submission. Just the whole concept of nectar slaves is a unique one and enticing at that. The writing is clear and descriptive, you can almost feel what's happening as you read.It's an enjoyable story and a well constructed plot, I'm glad I found this author.
