“Resist or obey. Those are my choices.”MARLAAlone at a bar, recently fired from my job and about to move, no one will notice that I’ve gone missing, and my abductors know it. Smuggled to a secluded facility in the mountains, locked in a cell and stripped of my dignity, they’ve threatened me with a fate worse than death. They aim to break my will. They plan to erase me.My captors are vicious … They plan to erase me.
My captors are vicious monsters, except for one: the doctor, Gabriel. He urges me to accept their control and spare myself months, or even years, of pain and torment. Yet his merciful demeanor hides a dark, burning secret. Smoldering and mysterious, I’m drawn to him and his talk of submission. He may be my best shot at escape, but I hunger for far more.
With Gabriel’s help, the others will pay for what they’ve done to me. They wanted a toy, but they’ve woken a terror…
GABRIEL
If I’d known the truth about Halloran Asylum, I would have burned it to the ground long ago. Now I’m an accessory to unspeakable crimes, and no one will ever believe my story. For years I made peace with fate, but after a violent episode pushes me to the edge, I swore never to let them harm anyone else. Now they’ve taken another, and I can’t let it go.
I need to make Marla understand her strength and resolve will only cause her greater suffering. At first, training her is just a way of buying time, but her response to my touch, my command, drives me wild. I have to have her, but standing in my way is a horrid truth that could cost me her trust. If that happens, we’ll both be lost, trapped in this place forever.
I don’t care. I’ll risk everything for Marla, even if it means letting out the beast within…

Erased
This book started down a dark and twisted path. My emotions were all over the place: horrified, hopeful, excited, happy, angry, intrigued… I think the biggest surprise to me was Marla’s feelings throughout the book, and how strong she was. I love a powerful female character and Marla was amazing! Gabriel was such a tortured soul and the things he did in this book were intense. This is the second book I’ve read by the author, and I love the crazy stories she comes up with!
Marla is a strong, independent woman. After losing her job and making rude, but true comments about her former boss on tv, Marla decides to leave town. She stops at a local bar for a last drink. Here she meets Vaughn, who abducts her for totally nefarious reasons. After being restrained in the back of his truck, and taken on a rather long journey, Marla arrives at a hidden location that provides “well-trained” girls to satisfy rich and powerful men. She meets Gabriel when he is forced to subject her to a thorough physical exam. He knows what she must do in order to survive. Can he help her? This asylum caters to a warped and evil BDSM lifestyle that gratifies men demanding total and complete submission. All toys and all punishments are accepted.
Slowly, as time progresses, Marla begins to discover certain aspects of her inner self that she had not been previously aware of. What does she feel during her punishments? How does she react? How should she react? Is she normal? How can pain sometimes morph into pleasure? How can a person learn to accept a new lifestyle?
I LOVE the way this author took me from the sassy, outspoken mindset of a young woman, through her fight for survival and eventually into a HEA! This story is absolutely DARK! It is also enthralling and provocative and full of awakening sexuality. I cannot wait to read her next book.
What an awesome find with this new to me author! This book is an awesome dark romance from beginning to end! This dark romance thriller gives the story of Gabriel and Marla and it was wonderfully written and definitely has all the dark twists you could want in a dark romance!!
If you are in search of a fabulous dark read, this it is!! I can’t wait to get started on book 2, Exalted.
This is my first book I have read by Sansa Rayne and it will not be my last. The title will make you think something has been erased, but in the asylum they will erase your memory. Marla is a very strong woman and will fight til the end and at the same time will fall in love with the doctor. Now you will have to read this excellent book and see what happens. Enjoy
A Whirlwind of chaos!! Dark and twisted!!
