Topping the New York Times bestseller list on numerous occasions, the American writer Kelly Favor has been writing her unique brand of erotica for some time now. Not only that, but she has also reached the top of the USA Today list as well, thus securing her place as one of the most commercially successful authors in her field to date. Arriving onto the scene in just 2012, she has managed to make her mark on the genre in a relatively short amount of time. Coming up to thirty books so far and counting, the ‘For His Pleasure’ series by Kelly Favor, is one of her largest and most successful to date. Starting in just 2012, the franchise has been expanded upon in a relatively short amount of time, making sure that her fans and audience continue to grow at an ever rapid rate. With more expected to follow shortly, this series of erotica novels has seen Kelly Favor build her profile, not just as an author, but as an artist too.

The series itself features a long-running line of novellas, each one typically ending with cliffhangers, a trend that’s become more prominent with the recent releases. Whilst the characters themselves are recurring too, the series doesn’t tend to focus on any one person overall, featuring a more interconnected narrative as it progresses. Using a style reminiscent of ’50 Shades of Grey’ it incorporates themes of dominance and submission throughout the franchise.

For His Pleasure

First published in 2012 on the 9th of June through the B&N Digital Publishing label, this was set to be the first in the series of the long-running ‘For His Pleasure’ franchise. Establishing what was to be both the style and tone over the forthcoming novels, it manages to perfectly set-up the series, giving the readers a clear idea of what to expect. With its characters and narrative it works at immediately jumping into the action, taking its rapidly growing audience into the narrative and story straight away.

Set in the high-flying corporate world it manages to evoke an environment of equally high-stakes as well, creating a tone risk and intrigue. Whilst this may provide some level of escape for the reader in a typically genre driven context, in Favor’s hands it leads to something a lot more plausible. With all the characters and environments fully realized, she has built a fully three-dimensional view of life at the top, with all the issues and problems that come with it. Featuring the character of Nicole Masters as its leading protagonist, it tells of her story as a young woman of just twenty-two coming onto the corporate scene. Straight out of college, she is both intelligent and resourceful, something which provides her with a set of three dimensional attributes, which her readers will relate to. Witty and erudite, she is able to give as good as she gets, a personality which leads her into a number of clashes along the way, creating some high drama in the process.

Getting an internship at Jameson International, one of the largest advertising firms out there, Masters finds herself flung into a high-stakes world headfirst. That’s when she comes up against the older Red Jameson, business owner and proprietor of the company, and international celebrity. Finding that she’s become the subject of his attention, a relationship builds and one that’s defined not only by lust and passion, but wills and determination. Will she be able to hold her own? What will become of them both? Can she succumb for his pleasure?

For His Taking

Initially released for the Kindle edition in 2012 on the 22nd of September, this was the direct follow up to the previous book, carrying on from where it left off. Providing many of the same characters before, it uses the same protagonist as the one that came previously, along with a lot of the themes and ideas. This also goes for both the style and the tone as well, as it manages to capture the essence of what came before perfectly, providing the readers with more of what they want.

Happening in the world of corporate power and high-flyers once again, Favor continues to use her gift of atmosphere and keen eye for detail when setting up her environment. Taking what worked before and adapting and evolving it for this second novel, it’s easy to see how far she has developed this as a whole. With her ever clear eye for detail, it really shows in her descriptions of the corporate lifestyle, along with its hierarchies and personalities, something which she’s really astute to. Once again featuring Nicole Masters as its leading protagonist, it manages to develop her as a character along with that of Red Jameson’s who also comes into his own here. Providing them with an extensive backstory, it now works on building up from the foundations previously set in the last novel, taking their respective arcs forwards in the process. Favor also works on their imperfections too, creating much more troubled personalities with very real and very human obstacles to gradually overcome.

With the relationship now fully underway between them both, Masters not only has to deal with the jealousy of her co-workers, but the press as well. Will she be able to cope with it all? Who is the stranger that knows all of Jameson’s business? How will she find herself for his taking?

The For His Pleasure Series

Whilst this series has been topping the Barnes and Nobel and Amazon bestseller lists for some time now, it appears that it still has new heights to reach. As more and more books are released by Kelly Favor on an annual basis, the franchise looks stronger than ever. Keeping the reader glued to her characters and steady narrative arcs, she has become highly adept at the cliffhanger and building suspense. Not only this, but her talent for atmosphere and mood have also become extremely apparent too, something which has become undeniable as she’s progressed. With a gift for sensuality in her erotica driven narratives, it really manages to build in a seductive and enticing manner. As more books are expected to be released in the near future, this is something that’s expected to continue for some time yet.
