This book is a retro reminder of the halcyon days of cruising and the golden age of sex. The ocean air arouses all the senses and once at sea all inhibitions are left ashore. There are moments of great sex where unmarketable women forfeited the familial unwritten "chores" of servicing the Captain/Officers to the fungible floozies aboard. Their sexual performances surpassed Hollywood's casting couch.

This compelling read also includes some history and geography. It takes place in the 1980's when sailing away parties were de rigueur and long before surveillance cameras dominated the decks.

In today's economy, with jobs hard to come by and even harder to keep, Lydia is exhausted with running from one place to another as a temporary employee-and even that isn't enough to live on. She finds the usual office culture tedious and does her best to avoid office politics, drama, and distractions. Each new place, she feels, is just like the other, a soulless dungeon, a machine filled with drones. As her current assignment comes to an end, she decides to apply for a position with Business Documents by Secretarial Mechanics.

Some people may complain that they feel like they work in a dungeon, but for Lydia, that is about to be her "literal" reality.

Lydia finds transcribing for the Mistresses of Pantherra more intriguing and financially acceptable to her checking account.

But will Lydia settle for just being the receptionist-or will her ambition inspire her to take a massive leap of faith, straight out of her comfort zone and down the proverbial rabbit hole to create her own little niche in the dungeon?
