CHAIRMAN OF THE WHORED is the first book I've read by Ms. Morgan and it won't be the last. This is a very sensual, sexual and provocative story with characters you'll question, despise and, eventually, either hate or love. On a scale of 1 - 10 on the erotic romance meter, this is off the chart and in a class by itself. This is a dark erotic tale inhabited by real people I could identify with and in situations that were totally believable to me.

Leila is funny, fearless, stubborn and very frustrating, as I consider the choice she makes at the end of the story. There's also more to her than just being sexually adventurous and uninhibited, capable of fulfilling the sexual desires of strange men for the sake of money and saving the `family farm' so to speak. The truth be told, Leila has a sexual bent - a wantonness within her that is set free by her call girl life. After her tryst with Joseph and Gordon, I found it fascinating to watch her struggle with her feelings for both men. Matthew wants her to stop whoring and be his alone. There'd be church bells and rice in their future if he had his way. Joseph is the Chairman of the Whored. He has the power to ruin Matt's and Leila's lives. This man has a dark side and it's all about him - his needs and his desires. He is a decadent user of whores (hence his moniker) and after one night with Leila he wields his knowledge and power to control her. Leila will get the money to fulfill her financial obligation, but her last 3 jobs must be with him. This just intensifies the psychological conflict within Leila. It's a battle between good and wantonness--Leila vs. Charlotte. The choice - a normal life with Matt or a complicated arrangement with Joseph. It was exciting to read.

CHAIRMAN OF THE WHORED is not a quick read. At least it wasn't for me. There's so much sexual, emotional and psychological drama I didn't want to miss anything. The sex scenes were intense and always character revealing. The plot more than held my interest (though there is coincidental element I felt was a stretch). The characters were three dimensional - very real. My favorite character was Aiden- a friend of Leila and also on occasion a willing and gleeful sexual partner while on the job. He's compassion and, most importantly and effectively, his humor helped to give this story its realism and needed levity. If you like your erotic romance with an intense, provocative, thought provoking and well developed plot with great characters, this is definitely the story for you. (Copy supplied by authorI

Went out on a limb and purchased this one without reading a sample. I wasn't disappointed! If you loved book/TV series The Secret Diary of a Call Girl, or Tiffany Reisz's outstanding novel The Siren, you should pick this up!

Wow...

Wow...

Uh....what?

DNF. Meandering plot was tedious with not much genuine conflict, but the biggest reason I'm not going on is all the non-sensical metaphors. I don't know if the author was trying to go for a literary tone with these or what, but I found all of these introspective reflections to be nothing more than annoying gibberish rather than illuminating or even poetic turns of phrase.
