In a world where there’s only one woman for every twelve men, a lottery is the chance for five lucky men to win the prize of a lifetime… her hand in marriage.
All Charlie ever wanted was to protect his sister. But when they are separated and Charlie is imprisoned in an enemy camp, Charlie’s tortured by thoughts of what might be happening to her.
Until one day, a beautiful servant named Shay starts bringing him his meals. Even her name sounds like a sigh. Shay. For the first time in months, Charlie has someone else to think about other than his sister.
Where did Shay come from? Who’s giving her those bruises on her face? And how can he protect her when he couldn’t even protect his own sister, much less himself?
When Shay breaks him out of his cell with promises of reuniting him with his sister, Charlie has no clue just how much his protective instincts are going to be stretched to the limits. Because the township where his sister lives? Turns out they have a law that every woman must marry five men. And His. Sister. Married. Five. Guys.
What’s worse? Shay’s the next up for the lottery.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Well
this was interesting. I believe that this is my first novel that i've
read written by Stasia Black, and in a way, i'm really glad that i took a
chance on it. A dystopian/futuristic type of novel, Theirs To Pleasure
takes into consideration that women are all but extinct after a plague
that ravaged the world almost 15 years ago.
Now,
i haven't read the previous book in the series before getting my hands
on this, but i have to admit that it wasn't all that necessary as i
wasn't overly confused on the past, present and what i'm suspecting will
be the next instalment of the series, so that really worked in favor
for this author. While i love reading series, there are some things that
i'm known for it's that i read series out of order until i can get to
the beginning of it and get back to the flow.
I
won't say that i didn't understand how the ratio of 5 men to 1 female
would be able to repopulate the earth, but i have to say that it was an
engaging and i really wanted to keep reading to find out what was to
happen to Shay and Charlie and whether they'd find their place in this
new 'regime'.
I
doubt this will be my last book by this author as she has a captivating
way to develop her stories that will make you really want to find out
what'll happen to her characters from the very beginning all the way to
the end.

Excerpt
“So, um.
When will I meet the last one? My last fiancé?”
Henry and
Rafe exchanged a glance. Even Jonas had opened his eyes and stood up straighter
again.
“Well,”
Henry said, drawing out the word, “we were thinking about having dinner tonight
all together. Over at the house. The one that will be ours once we are
married.”
Shay could
feel Charlie’s blood boiling from across the room.
Rafe broke
in before he could erupt. “But if that’s too much at once, babe, we can wait.
There’s no r—”
Shay just
shook her head, though, waving their concerns away. “When does the marriage
become official?”
Another
significant glance was exchanged.
But Charlie
was apparently done holding his opinions to himself. “This is insane. There’s
no way we’re letting them force you into any of this—”
“Charlie,”
Shay said, loud enough that it stopped his tirade before it really got legs. “I
want to hear what they have to say.”

Chapter One
CHARLIE
Charlie
blinked blearily at the sliver of sunshine coming through the window where it
wasn’t boarded up. The sun was setting. Another day gone.
He looked
at the wall where he’d just finished scratching a line into the cinderblock
with his fingernail, briefly glancing up the wall at all the similar hash
marks.
Three
months. It had been over three months since he’d woken up in this very
room—covered in his own blood, with a headache so bad he’d been convinced he
was gonna die. He had no idea where he was. A tiny office in a really old
building, he thought. Cream-colored painted cinderblock walls. It had an
institutional feel. Maybe a hospital?
There was a
thick wooden door with a tiny rectangular plexiglass window, but all it showed
was the end of a dark alcove, so no clues there. Through the tiny bit he could
see through the outdoor window, he could only see the plumbing of another
building.
When he’d
first woken up, part of him had wanted to just give up and die. Because no
matter how many times he shouted questions at the guards who occasionally
delivered food and water, no one would tell him anything about his sister
Audrey.
Had those
bastards killed her right there by the spring where they’d knocked him out? Or
did she manage to run away after all?
