The Academy: Book Four of the Marketplace Series

By: Laura Antoniou

Narrated by: Elizabeth Jasicki

The Academy: Tales of the Marketplace continues the brilliant saga of resolute slaves and exacting owners begun in previous volumes (The Marketplace; The Slave; and The Trainer). A dynamic culture of honor and duty embracing absolute servitude is the basis for the clandestine society known as The Marketplace. Sensuality, intelligence, and passion meld into exquisite eroticism and scenes of blazing sexuality. In The Academy, we follow Chris Parker and his trainee, Michael LaGuardia, to Japan, where a conclave of trainers is taking place. While the trainers swap cautionary tales and debate protocol, though, moves are being made that may change the Marketplace, and Chris's place in it, forever.

This complete, full-length novel is a rich tapestry of sexuality and emotion, augmented by the inclusion of short stories by guest authors Karen Taylor, Cecilia Tan, Michael Hernandez, David Stein, and Christian Muncy.

Love the continued story!

Great reader! love Antinou's continued story and character development, I always enjoy learning more about her characters that I have come to love!

Hot, compelling page turner!!

My fourth of four, The Academy seemed slightly boring at first-- then it took off and I couldn't stop listening, thinking, reflecting. It is a must read. Now for part five and hopes for a part six or whole new series.

great

sexy, high energy, and drama filled story that had me trying guess the author next move, which was hard to do.

Just as expected.

Antoniou fleshes out existing storylines, closes the door on a couple, and introduces some new ones. Perfectly acted by Ms. Jasicki as usual. If you aren't already into The Marketplace series do yourself a favor and start at the beginning.

Wonderful

Loved the "ending" for Chris Parker, the stories twist at the end- even though a little disappointing, and the addition of the new characters. The setting was fantastic as set in Japan- a favorite culture. I enjoyed The Academy being longer and narrated again by the Jasicki, making the chapters and imagery come alive with a good amount of laughter...
