Shared by the Barbarians
In the time since she was abducted from her world by a cruel, tyrannical general, eighteen-year-old Jalinda has been given little reason to trust any man, let alone three barbarian brothers who take it upon themselves to rescue her. But the rough, handsome warriors intend to share a wife, and they mean for that wife to be Jalinda. Shocked by the thought of belonging to three men, she refuses to go along with their plan, but her lack of cooperation is quickly overcome by way of a switch applied to her bare bottom.
Upon reaching their home planet, the brothers waste no time in beginning their shared bride’s training. As Jalinda soon discovers, she will be expected to submit to them absolutely, and disobedience will result in punishments far more humiliating than a mere bare-bottom spanking. Her barbarian husbands will protect her, provide for her, and love her, but they will also enjoy her in any way they desire. She will be claimed by each of them and by all of them together, in private and in public, in ways that will leave her blushing crimson yet also burning with need.
Despite her shame, before long Jalinda finds herself craving the intense pleasure which results from surrendering herself to the brothers’ masterful lovemaking, and with each passing day she grows fonder of the men who freed her from the sadistic general and made her their own. But her former captor is not an enemy to be taken lightly, and when he comes after the brothers with an army at his back, intent on vengeance, can they protect both their world and their woman?

About the author
Emily Tilton
249 books511 followersEmily Tilton, whose books have hit number one on Amazon in six different erotica categories, wishes she could live out her fantasies of submission the way her characters do.
Emily's erotica is a narrative version of her nearly lifelong quest to reconcile her submissive erotic orientation with her ethics. She writes erotic romance, but her books are always frankly and unashamedly about sex, because writing about sex helps her understand that fundamental part of her life better. She hopes maybe it does the same for her readers.
Over the many years since Emily became aware of her sometimes unbearable craving for spanking, ravishment, and all the shameful things that go with it, she has tried to come to terms with that craving in more ways than she can count. The first of the ways was by reading, voraciously, every piece of BDSM erotica she could find.
Eventually, she read "Story of O." As is reflected throughout her work, it changed her life, though the change has been gradual, and continues to this day. The idea that other women might share the lusts she has by turns been ashamed of and defiantly proud of, that a woman like the real Pauline Réage might write so beautifully of those lusts, and work them out so thoroughly and even pitilessly on a character, put Réage's famous pencil in her right hand. Or, to put it in the terms of EXPLORATIONS, which she considers her magnum opus, it put her left hand on the keyboard of her laptop and her right hand in her lap, if you know what she means. Emily started to write spanking stories.

Well hello luscious kinky and slightly depraved fun....come on in. In general I like this author's books - but I'll admit to enjoying the one's that are a bit harsher best. This is excellent smut for those that like a capture/slave type scenario that is not harsh but demanding on the captured. 3 big, tough, proportioned barbarians use all her available, err --space? -- and she enjoys it. She does not necessarily love the discipline which is meted out as discipline not as kinky spankings for arousal. Lots of great scenes - plenty to enjoy. Don't look for a deep plot with exquisite prose here - but Ms. Tilton gets the job done quite nicely. A fun read if this floats your boat!

I hated this. If you don't like long reviews with some spoilers, than keep on goin' sugar 'cause this one's gonna be a doozy.
The only good thing--->The writing, but not my cup of tea when it came to that style. The style fits how the author set this book and did a great job executing it, but I can't take the words "bottom" and "rump" the same when they are used along with words like "cunt" and "cock". The entire time I read this I read it in a snobby english gentleman's accent. I imagined a made twirling his mustache and wearing a monocle. But at the same time, this type of writing style fit and the author did it well.
I don't like books that are super dominate. I don't mind dominating in the bedroom, in fact I love a good dominating bedroom smexy time ;). Now, I hate it when that dominating personality goes on to outside of the bedroom and the girl is treated like a child and is punished by spankings and whippings because she put too much pepper in the soup (that happened). That's not ok because I always take it as the men don't care who she is as a person, she's just something to fuck and someone to cook and clean. They demand that she call them "sir". When I read something and the words "I love you, sir" are said, I don't believe them. It's the "sir" that makes it completely unreal for me. Also, when they were in the jet, she was offered to the pilot! If he came to their house at some point she would have been told to have sex with a man she isn't married too and without her consent so he "could enjoy her cunt".
During the wedding scene her vows are how she is going to make them all happy and how she will please them sexual and only in that way. Their (the guys) vows are about how they will punish her when she misbehaves and how they will keep her in line. Then they do her on a "fucking bench" in front of the crowd. I don't mind books that have public sex, but this during the wedding wasn't ok for me. Then after the ceremony they took her home and whipped her right away, and when they asked her why they were punishing her (for literally nothing) her response is "Because I must learn my place".--->that's a big negative for me.
This whole book is about possession, not love. The eldest brother had a hard on for her, so he stole her from the asshole he gave her to in the first place. There wasn't any love in this, zero romance. It's all about possession and the female being owned by her husbands. Like I said, I don't mind dominance in the bedroom, but not as a way of life.

Hmmmmm, what to say about this book.....
I love erotic sci/fi capture fantasies and, throw in domestic discipline/spanking, I'm usually a very happy camper. Unfortunately, this book just irritated me from start to finish - ruffled my feathers, and had my eyes rolling around to the point of pain. I'd say it's because I've simply read too many of these recently, but I doubt that's the case entirely.
The dialog is beyond cheesy, the rhetoric so "women are only for obeying and providing places to put penises", that it really wasn't possible for me to simply let go of my feminine outrage and enjoy the story. The punishments weren't really the problem. There was very little depth to Jalinda's character, and her adjustment from sheltered 18 year old from a sexually repressed society to a woman who embraced the society her husbands had insisted she accept was told, not shown. Attempts to explain the situation in her new home (particularly the part where she had supposedly given consent to marrying three brothers, despite the fact she had to be punished before she did so), felt awkward rather than convincing. There was no question her new life was a vast improvement over what she would have experienced under her first captor, but it still didn't work for me. Perhaps the fact that she was only 18, entirely innocent of men, then given a wedding day that would have caused an experienced woman extreme pain..... It was just too ridiculous for me I'm afraid.
Although... I did laugh at the last part of the marriage ceremony, (paraphrased) 'you may now f* the bride'.

Hmm, this book left me with mixed feelings. I like dark romances. I've read quite a few. Part of what I like about dark romances is the psychology - the "what would I do if I found myself in this suituation". I love a good sci-fi book and of course some hot love scenes makes it even better. So I should have loved this dark, sci-fi erotic romance. Only I didn't love it and barely liked it even. I think the difference is that there just weren't very many times the heroine and hero's actually interacted that they weren't beating/spanking (yes some of the punishment scenes were closer to beatings than spankings or even bdsm). I just couldn't understand why or how they fell in love. The heros seamed to keep to themselves except when either physically discipline or having sex with the heroine. I needed more of a connection between the characters in order to see they'd earned her submission not just demanded it. The writing was good with only a few errors. Heat level is probably a 10 (1=Christian, 5= fade to black and 10=erotica). Normally I reserve 10's for those book with really no romance and the only point is the sex however I gave this a 10 because it just didn't spend enough time on the romance and had a bunch of things people may find objectionable including anal sex, dubious consent, bdsm, and dd.

Do not read this book... I thought it would be smut. Instead I got a book showing an alternate universe which was VERY difficult to understand and follow first of all. And more, I wasn't even interested to know about it.
It's very sexualised etc, but when we get sex scenes between the h and the H's, it's glossed over so it's not even smut. It's short, not much of a story line and not even smut.
One of the H's sees the h and had a connection with her. His brothers and him kidnap her to their land and she marries them (this is normal in this book). They punish her for everything, but when the sex comes it's summarised in a few sentences. Then the guy she escaped from causes a war they fight for her and she gets punished trying to leave to save people and then sex which again is summarised.
So if this wasn't meant to be a romance, or a deep story, or smut? What was it for....

An interesting read about what seemed like a book about the past but really was a different world of sorts I think.... but with humans not aliens...I know space travel was involved anyway. Then the wife discipline thing was weird. Overall it was just ok for me. Not quite what I was looking for I think.

This book is off the charts hot. The characters are intriguing if not a little brutal with their punishments. Good narration from Elliott with such a gruff madly voice I was surprised how good the female voice is from him.

Cette histoire manque cruellement de légèreté. Tout, de l'héroïne qui n'a plus aucun espoir de liberté, aux trois frères qui obéissent aveuglément à leurs lois, est décrit de manière clinique. Je n'ai senti, aucune connexion entre les protagonistes. L'auteur voudrait nous faire croire que les héros exercent leurs disciplines par amour sans prendre le temps de nous raconter l'évolution de leurs sentiments. Du coup, j'ai plein la pauvre fille pendant pratiquement l'intégralité du livre, heureusement fort court.
This story is sorely lacking in lightness. Everything from the heroine who has no hope of freedom to the three brothers who blindly obey their laws is described clinically. I did not feel any connection between the protagonists. The author would like us to believe that heroes exercise their disciplines out of love without taking time to tell us the evolution of their feelings. As a result, I felt sorry for the poor girl during virtually the entire book, which was fortunately very short.

This book was unlike any I've ever read and I loved it. Imagine a world based on a culture of bdsm and you're on your way to understanding the barbarians in this book, who in my opinion, are not as barbaric as the civilized conquerors in the story. The heroine, Jalinda, is stolen as a war prize by an evil general who plans to abuse her severely and toss her aside when he tires of her. His cruelty knows no bounds and he delights in punishing and humiliating her publicly. She is "rescued" by three barbarian brothers who take her for their bride to their home world, where the rules and culture are shocking to her. I thoroughly enjoyed her journey of discovery in the remarkable society of the self proclaimed barbarians, who do not sensor their language and speak of sex as easily as taking a walk. Her duty as their wife will be to make her body available to her husbands in every way and obey their every command. In turn they will cherish and protect her with their lives. Take the journey with Jalinda as she prepares for her marriage, endures an incredible wedding ceremony, and adjusts to her new life. Will it all be for nought when inevitably the general finds them? Read this book and find out, Sci Fi BDSM fans; you will love it as much as I did.

I loved this sci-fi that was filled with adventure and quite a bit of steam! A wonderfully detailed plot, adventure and danger that kept me turning page after page, very well written and with enough steam to melt your kindle. Absolutely loved it! Don't miss it! I received this book from Stormy Night Publications as an Advanced Reader Copy.

Not enjoyable
If you enjoy domination, males punishing and treating women as possessions this book is for you. Not to my taste at all.

Good read!
The book was good, not really my type of book. Had a good story line, not into the submit everything to mens control type books, but it was a decent read.
