Summary: Classy fiction, excellent series
Comment: Laura has written a series of books about the "marketplace" concept. This is book 5, and in my opinion one of the two best in the series. In "The Reunion", we already know two of the main characters, and their story alone is interesting enough to maintain forward motion in this book. I was pleasantly surprised to find new excellent and intrigueging characters in this book. My personal favorite is MacKenzie.
Where other Marketplace books have focused on the training methods, organization and norms of this inventive universe, The Reunion goes more in depth about the people involved during and after service. Most BDSM erotica never even mention what happens after you age, have children, or chage interests.
I was aroused by the erotic scenes, amused by Chris Parker as usual, and very satisfied to learn more about CHris and Robin's relationship.
IF you liked the other Marketplace books, this one will not disappoint you. And no, it is not too long, although it looks huge. There are enough plot lines to keep it going.
My one critique might be that I'd like to learn more about the antagonist in this book, the nosy journalist.
If you are ready for grown up issues frankly painted and massaged, served with hot spicy erotica and cool intellect, then go for it. It's so worth the money.

Comment: Review of Laura Antoniou's Newest Book: The Reunion, part of The Marketplace Series
By Sensuous Sadie
I never thought of myself as a reviewer of erotica, particularly BDSM erotica. Maybe it's because my approach to sex is so orgasm-centric, or maybe it's because as an editor myself, I read an awful lot of, well, drek. It was only by sheer accident that I came to be reading Laura Antoniou's Marketplace series of erotica. It came about because I was doing an interview with her, and couldn't very well say "hey, love your stuff," when I hadn't actually read any, could I? So I picked up The Marketplace, the first in the series, and am now wrapping up with her latest, The Reunion, which at twice the size certainly gives you a lot of bang for your erotic buck.
I may have started out reading Laura's stuff in order not to embarrass myself, but I finished reading it because Laura is one heck of a writer. I expected long, drawn out erotic fiction detailing the usual hours of oral gratification, but no real characters or plot (a.k.a. drek). Instead, The Reunion is about real kinky folk, young and old; thin and fat; sometimes fearful, sometimes confused, but always focused on their slave natures. I soon found a character who I could relate to, and liked the rest of them enough to get hot with them on their various adventures.
The beginning of her novels have a real storyline, which in this case is a reunion of many of the former slaves who went through the "Marketplace," a training center of international renown. Robin, a slave who was introduced in the second book of the series, travels to Ireland for this reunion. She has just been freed from her slave contract and is struggling with living without a collar. On the way she meets up with Chris Parker, a veteran trainer who will help her, and himself find their way to new relationships. It is in Kaleigh castle that Robin, Chris and many other slaves engage in some lively drama, as well as plenty of steamy scenes!
So thank you Laura for writing something that's kept me warm all though this Brrrr cold Vermont Winter. I look forward to your next book.
Note: Laura's Marketplace series of books do not have to be read in sequence, but I still recommend it for context.

Summary: Another AMAZING erotic novel from Laura Antoniou
Comment: Laura Antoniou just amazes me. She is one of the only authors who writes actual novels that stand by themselves as excellent literature, and the erotica is the icing on the cake. This book is probably the best yet in that category. In other words, it is not trashy s/m sex every 4 pages, which is apparently the formula for every mass market erotica book out there. I really feel like Ms. Antoniou reaches a greater level of depth in character development, which helps all of us who are in the BDSM world feel there are other people who share the same desires and emotions that we do. As you read this novel, you really believe these characters are real, and they are like your family. I can't say enough about this novel, which at 634 pages is quite the masterpiece. When you get tired of the trashy novel formula and are ready for real s/m literature, make sure to order this book. You won't be disappointed.
