The Reunion

Book Five of the Marketplace Series

By: Laura Antoniou

Narrated by: Elizabeth Jasicki

Length: 43 hrs and 38 mins

Publisher's summary

In previous books in the Marketplace series, listeners have gone behind the scenes at a slave auction, an owner's home, a trainer's house, and even the ephemeral world of the annual trainers' Academy. In The Reunion, we visit a vacation resort for a Marketplace "family" gathering, where slaves, former slaves, trainers, and their spouses, significant others and family members can relax, let their hair down, and connect with each other. But the "reunion" that matters most is that of Robin Cassidy (the slave from The Slave) and her first trainer, Chris Parker (the trainer from The Trainer).

Of course the vacation resort isn't just any resort, it's Kaleigh Castle, a centuries-old Irish castle that is now a luxury hotel and happens to be where Chris learned many of the skills and practices that have made him so sought-after in the Marketplace. And while everyone enjoys their two most favorite indoor sports - gossip and sex - trouble is afoot. A nosy tabloid reporter thinks he's onto something: a real-life international slave trading ring. Can Chris keep the world from learning the truth about The Marketplace, but accept the truth about his feelings regarding Robin, Anderson, and Jiro at the same time?

Another brilliant book.

I love that Elizabeth Jasicki is the reader for this series. She has captured the characters beautifully & her accents are spot on

Laura's work is, as always, riveting & imaginative with just the right amount of fiction & truth woven together. I can't wait for book 6 of the series to be released.

Another great book written by a talented writer.

I loved the book.It was amazing! Can't wait until the next book is written. Fabulous

Hated to turn my phone off. I could say more but,

I loved it.Best part has to be when Anderson's true colors come out, wicked man.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

There were parts that made me giggle and parts that made me cry. There were parts that made me say out loud as I was hearing them "Yeah you asshat that dont you get it!"

Any additional comments?

performance-wise after a few hours the book for stall and i would have to go listen to something until the next day because the application kept halting

Best LQBTQIA+ BDSM/Leather series ever written.

This is my 4th full read of this series over 30 years. If you are interested in the most restrictive type of BDSM, or simply hearing about them - pick up this series.

No one conveys this hidden world better than Laura Antoniou.

I want to be a Cayley girl

In just a few chapters I felt in love with Cayley the way I fell in love with Hogwarts. I love getting to know Chris more, and all of the Reunion guests. I hope that Laura writes another Reunion or another book that is based at Cayley.

Best Marketplace Book Yet!

Elizabeth Jasicki is excellent and consistent in her voices for the characters across the books.

Long live Chris Parker!

My favorite of the series so far!!

What made the experience of listening to The Reunion the most enjoyable?

I really love the narration. There are a lot of characters in this book, and Elizabeth Jasicki is excellent at capturing the slightest changes in her voice so that you know who is speaking, even before the words are read.

Have you listened to any of Elizabeth Jasicki’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

She is an excellent narrator in this series.

Any additional comments?

This is my favorite so far of the Marketplace books. Laura Antoniou has written each book to capture a specific view of the Marketplace, from the view points of different people involved while still moving the story forward. The Reunion was slave-centric and introduced a lot of rich and like-able characters, while giving us a deeper look into Chris Parker's past. Bravo!!
