Product Description
It is no act of love that Regan experiences the night she takes her sister's place in the marriage bed, a counterfeit bride to sate the lust of her twin's new husband. Come morning, her sister, carrying another man's child, resumes her place and Regan is spirited away to a nunnery.
But a more exotic fate awaits the fiery Celtic beauty: Regan is sold to a slave trader. It will be her destiny to come under the tutelage of Karim al Malina, master of the erotic arts, who will mold Regan -- now renamed Zaynab, the beautiful one -- into a Love Slave fit for a Moorish king, though the pair break the first rule of teacher and pupil . . . they fall in love.
But Zaynab is not Karim's to keep. She is given to the Caliph of Cordoba, who vows to love her . . . and pleasure her as no younger man can. Yet Regan still longs for her one true love, Karim al Malina, and vows that, somehow, their fates must be reunited . . . .
From the Trade Paperback edition.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Choosing a rating for this book is very difficult because I don't want to scare anyone away with only 3 stars, BUT BE WARNED, this story is NOT for everyone. Beatrice Small has always been extremely graphic in her stories, and if you don't like highly detailed erotic scenes, stay away from this story.
Thus saying, the attention to detail, sights, smells, feelings, and tastes, that Ms. Small is known for in her earlier stories, are all here in The Love Slave. Regan is a no-nonsense woman who takes what could be an extremely bleak future, and molds it into something, if not desireable for everyone, then atleast sucessful. I found it much more realistic to see how her character progresses, even having to take the lovers she must in order to be more than just someone's whore in the white gold trade. Some might see her as prostituting herself (and thus be turned off), but Ms. Small tries very hard to disuade us of thinking of Regan in that light. It is the more practical I-will-do-whatever-I-have-to-to-survive light that is striving to surface here.
Regan and Karim are both interesting characters to get to know, and to empathise with, as the story unfolds. By the end of the story, the plot seems to turn a little too pat with first the one, and then the other needing each other to pull them out of a depression, but we can work around that. In a time when you can't simply buck the system or win all the time, this story might pull at our democratic ideals of the freedom to chose to live our lives as we see fit, but it makes it all that more realistic in my eyes. I enjoyed this story, but as I warned above, stay clear if you don't like VERY graphic sex.

This book is to die for!!! I loved it! could not put it down, read it in a day. I had purchased it about 6 months ago and it had been sitting on my book shelf until I had this all of a sudden overwhelming urge to read a bertrice. Let me tell you what....this is one hot, exciting book. I was so engrossed in it that I did not want it to end. I almost turned right back to the first page after finishing it. Even though totally different, Zaynab has become one of my favorite heroines. I bawled while reading this book and will never forget how I loved it and how I felt while reading it.

I've been a reader of Bertrice Small for years. The Kadin is what hooked me. Most of her books are great reading. I love the lust, the intrigue, the romance. What a great escape from the every day doldrums. The Love Slave is on par with The Kadin, and I highly reccomend it to anyone who wants that dreamy fantasy read!

Highly recommended
This is one of Bertice's best. It has all the makings of a true love story, with all the steamy sex scenes. I couldn't put it down until I finished the whole book!
