Julia Smith was a successful business woman, divorced mother of two, and a military veteran. To the outside community, she was just another soccer mom and a realtor. To her business partners, she was the mastermind behind their mutual success and a force to be reckoned with. Success granted Julia and her partners fulfillment beyond their wildest imaginings. From a nondescript building on the edge of town, Julia the CEO of a highly profitable enterprise, Julia Smith Enterprises. The secret of her success was shocking, and unknown outside the walls of the warehouse. That secret? Her labor worked for free! Julia and her business partners were all privately dominant women and their warehouse was stocked with slave labor - young, sexy, male slave labor! The first in the "Women of the Warehouse" series, Thursdays with Julia describes the origins of the warehouse and the men and women who came to occupy it and call it home. The book details how two women, Julia and her assistant and later business partner, Veronica, came up with the idea for using slave labor in their enterprises one night in their office, toward the end of a bottle of wine. Read the book and learn how they grew that first drunken idea into a multi-million dollar enterprise. But money isn't the only benefit of the warehouse! Inside the walls of the warehouse the women spend their days in a version of paradise: a building full of young, fit, carefully selected and trained, submissive men who work long, hard hours for their benefit and are always ready to please their owners. While the punishments for failure are harsh, the rewards for hard work are unlike any job on earth! For both the women and the men of the warehouse, the "fringe benefits" of such an arrangement are the real glue holding the entire operation together. But Julia is growing tired of the warehouse and its many pleasures. She wants something more, just for her, especially once she meets Michael. As her business grows and changes, Julia wants Michael to be her "special" slave, and hatches a plot to make it happen. Thursdays with Julia offers a look into the history of the warehouse, its main characters, and tells the story of how a young man who meets Julia falls slowly under her control and into a life at the warehouse. An erotic BDSM romance, Thursdays with Julia offers readers a tantalizing glimpse into the goings on at the warehouse, and the life of its founder and CEO. This book is a legitimate short novel (186 pages in paperback) for discriminating readers looking for well-written BDSM related erotica and fiction. It does not compare to most of the "BDSM erotica" available on Amazon. You are buying a legitimate book when you purchase Thursdays with Julia, not a short story copied from a blog full of grammatical errors and weirdly specific fetishes and fantasies. The women who populate the warehouse in Thursdays with Julia are real women, not fantasies and each has her own particular brand of dominance and control. The warehouse is for the women who own it, and the story is about them and from their viewpoint. This book is a creative work of fiction describing a BDSM fantasy world that could exist right next door. Its contents are sometimes graphic, but the characters, especially the women, cover a wide range of personalities and situations. Often the more explicit "action" is left to the readers imagination. Further, the BDSM described within is "straight," the relationships described are between submissive men and dominant women, albeit in a context of female dominance and control. There is no other book or series like the "Women of the Warehouse" currently available. Read "Thursdays with Julia" and find out what makes it so good! PUBLISHERS NOTE: This book is BDSM erotica. It contains graphic depictions of a sexual nature involving consenting adults engaged in bondage, domination, submission, and sado-masochism. It is not appropriate for anyone under the age of 18.
