Futuristic erotic anthology by Lara Santiago. Three related stories: The Tiberious Group comes to Earth, takes over, and makes Women's Rights non-existant. Women can't work, and must be married off, by their closest male relative. Too bad Hannah (the Miner's Wife) and Sophie (the Executive's wife) have a no-good, opportunistic gambling father. Their good-guy brother (The Lawman) is off planet. Hannah and Sophie end up being auctioned off, but finding love anyway. The book is fair. All three stories have likeable characters, smokin' sex scenes, and Bad Guys you love to hate, and nice HEA's. The book is erotic Brain Candy. The Blond Bomb Tech by the same author is better. Yet, I'll still read the sequel to this one.

When the Tiberius Group took control of the US Government, women were stripped of their rights. They no longer were able to work, total control given to father, husband or brother. If they were not married then they were forced to be auctioned off to any male who would pay for them. If no one would bid on them they would be hauled off to a slave labor camp.

The Lawman's Wife
Grace has been living with her cousin,pretending to be married to him so she won't be auctioned off. She has a daughter who could be taken from her. Her cousin turns her into the Tiberius Group and Grace ends up on the auction block. The problem is that no one is bidding on her and she faces the slave labor camp.

All three stories were warm hearted and romantic. The suspense and intrique was a nice added touch. The men were all caring, trying to make the best of a bad situation and giving the woman as much freedom they possible could
