Coma
The worst memory was when I was still in a coma and I could feel people hold my hand. I could feel the nurses bathing me, but I couldn’t move or open my eyes. I just couldn’t do anything and it was terrifying!
Xavier Prince wakes in a hospital bed on a Caribbean island. He has no idea how he got there, or in fact who the hell he is. When his Doctor informs him that he is quite the celebrity, he is determined to uncover his past.
Having only brief recollections, his search is aided by the appearance of a Nordic beauty called Freya. Along with her brother, Lars, they ignite something in his subconscious and he begins his path of self-discovery.
A club, bizarre sexual activities and demonstrations. A world far removed from his rather quiet and sedentary childhood. The death of his father, and the benefit of a healthy inheritance, launch him into the world of business.
The alien world of BDSM was a business venture and was something he never saw coming. He takes the opportunity with both hands. With the guidance of his mentor, Anton, he quickly rises to become one of the most popular Doms on the UK scene.
Clearing his mind of all pre-conceptions, he embraces this new lifestyle. Yet love, jealousy and betrayal stalk his clouded past. Perhaps they are the reason for his current situation? Will peeling away the layers of time uncover who on earth is Xavier Prince?

About the author
Zak Hardacre
15 books207 followersI am a former British soldier now turned IT slave. I began writing around mid-2014. This was a semi-autobiographical military Trilogy, under a different name.
During this time, I took to social media to promote myself and my books. Whilst on Twitter, I came across another author Dakota Storm who also writes under a different name. After mutual consent, and a bit of arm twisting on her part, we decided to collaborate on a book titled "Explosive Chemistry"
I enjoyed the experience so much I decided to continue on my own. I then released two more books on my own. The first titled "Undercover Liaisons", the other "The Principals Daughter". Both of these have military themes running through them as they are based on my experiences in the military and Private Security Industry
I wrote a trilogy of books based on the life and experiences of a male escort. They follow a young Irishman, the innocence of his first chance meeting with an older lady. She opens his eyes into the world of BDSM. After gaining a taste for it, he tries to discover more about the lifestyle while travelling abroad. The final book focuses on him acting as a male escort in a professional capacity. The main character experiences both sides of the BDSM lifestyle as a dom and a submissive. It was a challenge as I write as both male and female POV in the first person.
I recently released my first erotica novel, which is a dark psychological tale titled "Alters"
"Salvation" follows the lives of two characters searching for their own personal salvation.
"Hemispheres" was released in December 2017 is a psychological story dealing with emotions between two different characters. I won't spoil the story, but one is a sadistic selfish property developer, the other a loving family man. The ultimate sacrifice to save a child, an intricate puzzle to be solved.

It is always a marvel to me how authors can take words from their minds and transform them to paper to make a book. Zak Hardacre is one of those brilliant authors that I have been following for a little over a year. I am in awe as to how Zak Hardacre's mind works when he is able to be so descriptive in his writing that the reader is transported to the pages of his book.
Zak Hardacre's new book "Coma" had me wishing I was Freya, Xavier, Lars, Anton, or perhaps one of the other characters in his book. In true Zak Hardacre fashion, he weaves a story in "Coma" of pleasure/pain, love/betrayal, joy/heartbreak, strength/weakness, Dom/Sub relationships, and of course he can't leave out hot BDSM sex scenes.
"Relationships themselves require to be worked at to achieve our own personal goals. There must be an earnest devotion on both parts to achieving the happiness we crave". This thought and many others run through Xavier Prince's mind as he is in a coma. How can he repair the damage that he has caused in his relationship to Freya?
No other spoilers from me of this brilliant book. I would love to have you read for yourself of how Xavier battles his relationship with the one he loves. Can he rewrite his wrong? Maybe as a reader, we can hope to do the same in our own lives. Well done Zak Hardacre in your writing of "Coma"! 5+ stars

Once again Zak Hardacre weaves his magic. This book is beautifully written with vivid descriptions that transport you to Oxford and the Caribbean and decadent clubs where fantasies are realised. Xavier Prince is an alpha Male/Dominant ready to thrust himself out of his previous shy chrysalis.
Freya is a natural submissive but intelligent and captivating, their union is inevitable and the author conveys the strength and possible flaws of their relationship. Add in a potentially nightmare scenario where one is caught between reality and dreams. All the characters are strong, the sex scenes are off the Richter scale but underlying it runs the thread of human emotion with all its frailties. Be careful for what you wish for could be the sentiment. I would damn love a sequel to this amazing book
It’s a well deserved five stars from me

"One thing I do know, my paradise is Freya. It's always been her. She makes me breathe when I don't want to, and has unlocked doors inside me that I tried to keep shut."
Wow. I don't even know where to start with this review, except to say that this was one of the best, sexiest, pantie-drenching books I have read!! I loved this story, the characters, the mystery, the unbelievable hotness - just all of it!!
Xavier Prince. That's who they've told him he is after waking up from a coma. He has no recollection of his past or how he ended up in the hospital. With the appearance of Lars and Freya, the pieces fall in to place little by little. But, as the memories resurface, a tale of decadence & pleasure, power & money, Dominance & submission, love, betrayal and heartbreak is spun. All that he had appears to be falling apart. Can he figure out who he truly is as a man and fix the damage he's done to his relationship with his friends, and the damage he's done to Freya? Or is it all lost forever?
Freya Hansen has loved Xavier from the start. Now, he's back and wants her submission. She's more than willing to give it to him. Their love is a delicious one of pain, pleasure, power transference and lessons in control. She loves the pain, and he loves to give it. They are a perfect match. But, she soon learns that trust and commitment aren't always a two-way street. He's changing. He's not the man she fell in love with anymore. She has a choice to make, and he's not going to like it. Can they find their way back?
I can't say enough how much I loved this book! The relationship between Xavier and Freya had me wishing I was her. I got angry at Xavier - several times. My heart broke for them both. You'll know the scene when you get to it. Not to mention the steam on nearly every page!!
There is no way I'm going to spoil anything for anyone. You just have to read it for the amazing, mysterious, sensual, sexy ride it is.

Well, what can I say? I have read all of Zak's books and absolutely loved each and every one, but this book? It is the best one he has written, to date, in my opinion!!
Coma is all about Xavier Prince and his search for who he truly is. It starts as it means to go on! Xavier wakes up from a coma, not knowing who he is, where he is, or even why!
The story unfolds with meeting Lars and Freya, who are brother and sister and who he has known for many years.
The memories that he has are so beautifully written and so descriptive, Zak pulls you directly into them and you experience them as if you are right there as thwy are happening.
The story builds further, meeting new characters, some extremely hot and creative scenes that will definitely leave you panting for more!!
I absolutely love the relationship between Freya and Xavier, seeing it flourish from the first time they met, all the way through their tale of Dominance and submission.
Zak is extremely clever in making you fall in love, and hate, with some of the characters and this book is no different!
Zak is also famous for his twists and turns in his books, and this one certainly does not disappoint!
Get your copy today and be transported into a story of love, intrigue, the world of BDSM, and a person's first foray into the lifestyle and becoming one of the most loved Doms in the UK scene.
5 stars are nowhere near enough to describe how good this book is!!

Wow!! Every time this author releases a book I wonder how he can possible top the last one. But he does. Every. Time!! The imagery his words conjure up, transport you to that place, heightening every sensation, be it the walk up Scafell Pike or the Hedonistic Island!
Xavier Prince wakes in hospital with no recollection how he got there, but images dance in the periphery of his mind. What happened, how did he get here?
With the 'help' of Lars and Freya, his memory starts to come back. What follows is a full immersion into his business and lifestyle, but not all is as it seems. Again, Mr Hardacre, genius, absolute genius!
Please add this to your TBR now!

Well, I can say that Zak Hardacre can never surprise me with any of his stories, but yet here I am saying it! This is a beautiful written book! Xavier is an alpha male/Dominant. Freya a beautiful Submissive. Their journey is a captivating one that will drawl you in with every page you turn. Amazing book and I am definitely looking forward to more from this author!

Zak has outdone himself once again . He's found a way to pull every possible emotion from and leave me feeling sated when it's over . This story takes your deep desires and locks them in a dark place . Then leaves you wondering what just happened. Well done !

Xavier Prince wakes up in hospital though can't recall why he is there or who he is, he is informed that he was found washed up and unconscious. He is told who is and that he has been in a coma for 3 months.
Enter Lars & Freya, brother & sister, Xavier has dreamed of them & knows they are a big part his life but he still has questions & he needs to know who he really is.
The story begins to unfold with Xavier having flashbacks from when he was a young man slowly he begins to uncover who he is. This is a fantastic read, and Zak has definitely wrote another winning story.
I would love to give more about the story but I do not want to give anything away, but trust me when I say it's a winner. The characters are intriguing and all have depth, the book covers the full range of emotions and you may even find yourself swearing at times. Also the sex is off the charts, in fact the book opens with a sizzling if somewhat controversial scene. Highly recommended read, sex, sin, emotional full of twists and turns it has it all, well done Zak.

Zak has the ability to grab a readers attention, drawing you in with his story telling and his newest release Coma, didn’t disappoint.
The story, which is filled with mystery and intrigue, begins with Xavier Prince waking up in hospital with no memory of who he is or the life he has led. A clever concept which had me captivated and eager to learn more, as Xavier’s memories are tantalisingly revealed giving the reader an insight into his life. Love him or loathe him, the memories paint a colourful past which will make your insides flutter, your heart sink with sadness and at time make you want to jump into your kindle to join in with the action or throttle said character!
A wicked delicious tale with a genius twist- I highly recommend one-clicking this!

I have read several books by Zak Hardacre all of them very well written with stories that keep you turning the pages. Zak does not disappoint with his latest book "Coma" With strong characters beautiful locations very descriptive sex scenes that will have you hot and sweaty this book has everything a reader of eroctica wants in a book. Twist at the end I did not see coming. I'm not giving much away on this book as I'd be saying much the same as the other fabulous reviews this book has received already. My favourite book so far for me. You really need to read it. Well done Zak Hardacre deserves more than 5*

What an intellectual and oh so sexually stimulating read. I loved every minute of Xavier Prince's story. How he finds himself in a hospital room after being in a coma and not recalling how he got there. Told in flashbacks as he dreams of his life as a Dom and the people who mean the most to him. I'm most certain you that if you read this book, you will not be disappointed. Well done Zak Hardacre. Well done!
May 7, 2018
I am still wrapping my head around an opening scene where a comatose man is being taken against his will... but keep reading! Xavier Prince was both fascinating and so deeply intriguing. I was sucked right into his story to find out what had happened to him. Freya, Lars, and the other characters were engaging and gave this book a wonderful plot. Masterfully written, with sexy, sizzling hot scenes!

Coma is the latest release from Zak Hardacre and I must say once again my mind was blown away. If you love a story with humor, sex, temptation, dominance, love, and unpredictableness, then Coma is the book for you. A fantastic read that will take the reader on a decadent journey of trying to regain one’s life memories. The ending is so clever and such a twist. Zak Hardacre is an ingenious writer and is erotic romances are unlike many others out there today.

WTF
I have read many of Zak Hardacre’s books and loved the psycho-sexual nature of his works. He creates characters that are fascinating and fallible but ultimately redeemable. This book was no different until I got to the ending. It was a cheap theatrical trick that left me feeling as unsatisfied as a eunuch in a whore house. I gave the book 4 stars because I was liking it until it’s end.

This story will keep you on the edge of your seat. It has got everything from love, humor, sexy, BDSM, fantasy. You feel like you have to keep reading and see if Xavier regains his memory which is nothing like his dreams are. Enjoy reading

I was fortunate to receive the ARC copy of this fantastic story.
Once reading, I could not put it down.
Xavier had me on edge right from the beginning.
At times I wanted to turn the tables on his arse.
Rest assured this is one seductive panty melting read.
Best to read this with none...
I can not wait to see what Zak Hardacre comes up with next.
Well done Sir.

I could have sat and read this book in a lot faster time but work got in the way.
Not many books get me so emotionally hooked but I could totally relate to the characters in the story to the point I could feel the lead females heartbreak when her partner broke her trust....or did he?, the twist at the end was not expected
