A GREAT romance and BDSM read! *by B***E on March 6, 2019* When a book is as well written as “THE COMPOUND”, with characters as real and yet so different from regular life as Alexis, and those living and working at the Compound are; it is easy for a reader to become invested in the exploration of a lifestyle that is both foreign and titillating at the same time. Not knowing much about the D/s culture within the BDSM lifestyle, I found Thompson’s story to be so intriguing, I read it twice. It wasn’t until the end of the first reading that I understood Alexis’s need to train at the Compound, and thereby recognized I had approached the entire story as an anthropologist confused by the new language and actions of an unknown people group. My approach was so wrong! Therefore, in the second reading of “THE COMPOUND,” I found a wonderful acceptance and blooming love affair not just between the characters of this novel, but for a lifestyle so different from anything I had read about before. The language is sensuous, the prose pulls up a reader’s emotions and is so descriptive that this reader easily became lost in the world built within its pages. The action is often intense, and dark as this erotic romance deals with individuals who practice the SM part of BDSM. If you are looking for a passionately romantic yet dark romance, then “THE COMPOUND” by author Claire Thompson should be your next purchase! Happy pages! 😉 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good story *by P***E on September 22, 2013* Great story. Loved all the characters. My heart was engaged the whole time. Love this writer and look forward to her next book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The miracle of true submission is love. *by A***Y on March 7, 2019* Alexis was a submissive wannabe. She was truly into the D/s scene but could never let her guard down at the final moment to fly and be totally free. So she entered The Compound, a D/s training facility to find the missing key to her submissive self. Although she has an excellent trainer in John, her heart pulls her to Paul, another trainer. No matter how hard she tries, her walls will not break down so she can fly. She needs a miracle to break down those walls. In a stormy moment of clarity, the answer becomes clear - you cannot completely trust, you cannot completely submit until you find that someone you completely love. Once that miracle of love is found, true submission results and unlocks the key to the freedom of flying and utter peace.
