This was an odd book for me, I neither hated it or loved it, just middle of the road.

The blurb did catch my interest, and the book was picked for me in a "Pick-It-For-Me" Challenge on my group. But I'm not sure it would have been one that I would have chosen for myself. I guess that's part of the challenge, to expand our reading. :)

Jewell Weston is homeless at 24, with her mother dead she is trying to regain custody of her little brother, but the courts say she can't since she has no job, no money, and no stable home.

So in search of a job she is led to "Relinquish Control", an exclusive escort service that caters to the very rich.

Blake Knight is a cold hearted asshat (in my no so humble opinion), who is gifted an exclusive membership to Relinquish Control by his younger brother.

Blake has no interest in going and/or getting an escort from the establishment. But he ends up doing so anyway, mainly out of curiosity. While on the tour of the place he sees Jewell (of course), and she's the one he wants. However, McKenzie, who owns and runs the business refuses since Jewell is so new and hasn't been properly trained.

But, money can buy whatever a man like Blake wants, and Blake wants Jewell and he has the money to back up that particular want. He feels that he can train her to meet his specific.... "need".

The rest becomes pretty standard cookie cutter BDSM with a few twists and turns thrown in.

I felt like the end of this book ended in a bit of a cliffy, even though Blake and Jewell's story seemed to be complete, it opened the door to other characters.

The Ties That Bind (Slave World #2) by Johnny Stone

The Ties That Bind by Johnny Stone

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Re-Read

Original Review



Reread February 6, 2017

Did a reread of this book for a group challenge, and three years later it still took my breath away. I remember working with Mr. Stone on this book, the everyday rereads and re-writes. Going over the plot, changing this and changing that until it was the best we could possibly want. And after letting it sit for all these years than doing a reread I still enjoyed this book like it was the first time.

This book is still a solid 5 star read for me, and will more than likely be a reread again in my future!

--------------------------

Okay. Catching my breath! That. Was. Excellent!! Johnny Stone took the story of his first book in the Slave World trilogy so much further in this sequel, Slave World: The Ties That Bind, than I thought was possible.

This is a Science Fiction based story with elements of BDSM incorporated throughout.

Margo, as we know from book 1 of this story, is an anthropomorphic female. She was a woman that was enslaved and taken to Slave World where her DNA was altered along with her appearance. She now has the perfect body, the perfect face, perfect everything. She is given perfection, but at the same time has had everything taken from her.

Nathan, the love of Margo's life. The man she wants most in the world to be her Master. To use her as the submissive slave that she is. Nathan doesn't want to be that in her life. But he does try, for her. Because he loves her.

As Nathan and Margo are leaving the Slave World Ranch in search of Margo's ship that was stolen from her when she was kidnapped, even more treachery is afoot, and they are forcibly separated. I felt so much sadness for them. For Margo who lived and breathed for Nathan and for Nathan who wanted this woman in any and all ways. Again, the cruel hand of fate is not kind to Margo, which seems to be the story of her existence. She is again kidnapped and held against her will by someone that is even more evil and vile than Master Michael was in the first book.

But Margo has a very deep and dark secret, and it's this secret that she calls on in the worst of times. The secret within her that takes over and helps her survive. And I mean this in the literal sense of the word!

We get to meet new characters like, Sergeant Major James Wroth and Private Sandra "Snake" Fullerton, a.k.a. "Sandy". My two favorite fun characters! Wroth is a sexy and funny man, mostly sexy because he's funny! Sandy is a tough but broken woman who has demons of her own, but still finds time to throw some snarkiness right back at the man she loves to hate. When these two get together they are like dynamite with a very short, lit fuse. Anyone standing close is sure to feel the burn of sexual heat coming from these two. But they also work well together on this very important mission. I promise you'll fall in love with Wroth and his many "Wrothisms"! You'll also fall in love with how he and Sandy fall in love with each other.

And Cherise... sweet Cherise. She is Margo's caretaker for a while and then her friend. She is a sweet and kind self-aware AI, which can be a dangerous combination, but you come to believe that she's so much more than that.

There are other very interesting characters some you'll remember from the first Slave World, like Donna, Cirus, Ashley, and Donovan. There are some new and intriguing characters, and some will come as a surprise. There are other worlds, one, Eden, is full self-aware AI.

I absolutely, love, love, LOVED this book! It's a non-stop, can't put it down even if I wanted to, book. The characters are well written, the world building is so in-depth that you'll actually be able to visualize it as you read the words.

I can't go to much further in-depth in my review without giving away plot spoilers. This is one that you have to read for yourself to appreciate. And ohhh the best thing about the end of this story? It leaves you wanting MORE! And there is more to come in Slave World 3 which will conclude this trilogy.

Reading Slave World, the first book is a must before reading this sequel to get the background history on main characters in this carefully crafted world of extraordinary characters.

This book is another solid 5 star read for me!

Solid 5 stars!

*I have the continuous privilege to interact with the author here on Goodreads and in my personal life. With that said and even though I was involved on a daily basis as this story developed, and was written by the author, I believe this to be a true, fair, objective and honest representation of my opinion of this book*

This book had the potential to be really good, the blurb really grabbed my attention, but alas, the story just kinda fell flat for me.

There was no real world building or character development, and the story was at times too unbelievable.. I just couldn't connect with any of it.

The ending didn't justify the story for me, even though it was a decent ending.

Review: BDSM Basics for Beginners - A Guide for Dominants and Submissives Starting to Explore the Lifestyle

Writing: ★★★★★
Story: N/A
Characters: N/A

Overall rating: 5.0


Even though I've been in the lifestyle for almost 6 years, I decided to pick this book up and give it a read. One never stops learning, right?!

I found a lot of useful information, things that I've done in the past that aren't followed so much anymore, but I'd like to re-incorporate into our lives. This was a nice, and much needed "refresher" course.

The book is well written, with a lot of great advice, no matter how new you are to the lifestyle or how long you've been *in* the lifestyle.

If you're curious about the lifestyle, this is one of the best to read, and learn from. It's exactly as the title says... BDSM Basics for Beginners it's a guide to learn from and get your footing.

I also have this book in paperback, and have gifted it to several new submissives I've met along the way. I've used it to get answers to some of the more basic questions that pop up from time to time.

I've followed Michelle's blog, BDSM Unveiled for a while now, and have even used her blog and books as educational topics for newer submissives that come on to my Master's and my board, The Erogenous Zone.

I highly recommend this book, and her other books, including her blog, to anyone that is interested in delving into this wonderful lifestyle! It's a great book to sit and just read, and to refer back to as needed.

This book was surprising, I was settling in for what I thought was a pretty dark read, after reading they synopsis... but what I got wasn't really all that dark, but it was really good.

Holland is running from her past and herself and she's doing it alone. She's alone and lost in this world after losing everything she loved.

To me, as emotional as this book was, I really admired Holland's strength. To quit her job, get in her car and just head towards a new life... and not really knowing *what* that life will hold, she just knows that it's got to be better than what she's leaving behind.

Holland gets a job waitressing in a small town, and Jensen, a 30-year-old scopophiliac, (yeah, I had to look that one up! Definition: deriving pleasure from looking. As an expression of sexuality, it refers to sexual pleasure derived from looking at erotic objects: erotic photographs, pornography, naked bodies, etc.), who has been coming in everyday for a few months, ordering the same thing and doing what he does best.. he looks. Unfortunately, Holland doesn't notice it, or him.

I really liked Jensen the moment he came into view on my Kindle. Strong, mysterious, and Dominant!

I loved how Ms. McIntyre wrote the sex *into* the story, not that the story was built *into* the sex. And the scenes were tasteful and erotic, which complimented this particular book quite well.

Very enjoyable read!

****Holy (Hu)COW, Cowboy!****

   

Veronica "Ronnie" has a good life... on the outside. She's an advertising executive with a 6 figure salary, living in a beautiful penthouse. But her love of spending soon causes a downward spiral into debt, falling from a penthouse with a view to a small dingy apartment with the view of a brick wall, to living on the streets, and no job.

   

"Give me one week, Ronnie. One week without resistance, doing anything I ask without question or begging or name calling and yelling. One week without fighting me. You might be surprised by how kind I can be, but my favor must be earned."

Luke, a rich ranch owner, watches her though this downward spiral, and feels it's his job to "save" her. By "save her" I mean he kidnaps her and takes her home to his ranch, and enslaves her. It's how she has to pay for this "kindness" that makes this story.

 "You will be her. Or else. You'll make me forget you aren't her. I'm not going back to before I found you. You will love me and obey me and submit to me, and you'll do it with that look of adoration Trish used to give me or I'll never stop making you regret wearing her face."

Luke is obsessed with his past love, Trish, and poor Ronnie is Trish's doppelganger. Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, it puts Ronnie right in line to be Luke's next obsession. Arriving at the Ranch Ronnie finds that she is to cook, clean, take care of the outside animals... and give Luke anything he wants. Oh and let's not forget the ranch hands, Robert, Jake, and Will... and Will's wife, Frieda, who Luke decides that Ronnie will pleasure whenever he decides also.

     

Ronnie fights the first few days, until she's branded, strapped to a St. Andrew's Cross, and nearly drowned by Luke, followed by Ronnie's near acceptance of it all. I felt at this point things moved REALLY too fast! She went from being taken against her will to craving him bangin' her like a screen door in a hurricane within a few days.

         

However, things did finally move on, and the whole Hucow/lactation fetish plot line turned out to be pretty hot! I *totally* didn't expect it! And *throwing up my freak flag* I totally enjoyed it!

I really enjoy Kitty Thomas's books and her descriptions of all the wonderfully twisted events throughout this book really did seem to tell a story that I could picture in my head. This story really grew on me. It wasn't a book that I probably would have chosen to read on my own, but was picked for me in a challenge. And I'm really glad it was!

Story: ★★★

Overall rating: 4.0


Claire Thompson is a favorite author of mine, I've read several of her books, so I was excited to see a new book by her.

This was a sweet, fast paced read. At times almost a little *too* sweet, and a little *too* convenient. But, for the most part, I did enjoy the love story of Dominant Liam and submissive Allie. I enjoyed the fact that their meeting seemed real, that their connection grew until they finally met. They were well suited characters for each other.

The sex scenes in this book were pretty well played out, including the *GASP* water torture scene. Had me feeling panicky just reading about it.

I feel "most" of the scenes were realistic, and sexy hot! There were times that I felt the author tried to put as many BDSM scene plays into the book as she could think of. After a while, it started to become predictable. Not every touch, or every kiss, needs to turn into "up against the wall. And fuck in 3, 2, 1."

I have to admit, there were times when I thought Liam was a jerk. I understand the pushing of limits, and I understand why he did so at times... but to me, he just sounded... "jerkish".

So overall, yes, I liked the book. And I really enjoyed meeting so many of the other characters. The all had a place in the story, they made sense, and even though there were quite a few of them, I felt like I knew them all by the time I finished the book. I'm hoping to see more of them if there are going to be other books in this series.

****4 Touch Me Stars!****

I'd Set out to capture him and instead he'd captured me. I couldn't fight it. It was done.

I've had this book on my TBR Shelf for quite some time now. Kept meaning to read it, but just never got to it. Then it came up for one of my challenges on my group, and watching my friends comments, I knew I had to read it. And so I did.

This book was a slow start for me. There was so many characters being introduced, so many background stories being introduced, that it was, at first, hard for me to get into the meat of the story.

But then it happened, that magical moment when a book turns the corner. When it goes from a "meh-fest" to an adrenaline rush. I was wide awake and taking notice.

Reeve and Emily... I had a love/hate relationship with them both. But when they came together (yes, that's a double entendre), it was pretty hot! And explosive! (another double entendre).

When Emily thought to herself, "the dominating bad boy type was my weakness", I could totally get behind that... and it was the turn around for me with Reeve. He was the "bad boy", and he became my "weakness" pretty damn quick!

The scene in the barn... read the book, you'll totally get it... was probably one of my favorite erotic scenes *ever* in a book! Sex scenes, sometimes I feel they are just thrown into a book for the sake of sex. I know that in order for a book to be in a certain genre (erotica in this case), that it has to have... well... sex! in it. And often. But most of the sex in this book was well placed, it made sense, the timing was perfect, and it was hot!

I enjoyed this book and will continue on to Last Kiss.

*****4 "Broken" Stars*****

*I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review* 

This was the second book in the Absolution Series.

Break Me picks up right where Bend Me leaves off... and the ride is *scorching*!

Agnes Eliza Bright met her first Dominant, Marcus, online, and when they first met face to face, back in the first book, it looked like it was going to be a great relationship.. until Marcus' best friend David Lake enters the club where "Eliza" is waiting. One look at each other and all bets, and time with Marcus, ended up being called off.

Now Eliza has agreed to be David Lake's submissive for 2 months to see if they can build a relationship. David is very much a Dominant, and Eliza is a submissive.

Eliza breaks one major rule. She has not been honest with David. She hasn't told him her real name, or that she's still married. Although she's signed her divorce papers, her estranged husband has not. The signed paperwork sits day after day on the breakfast bar at home, and day after day, Jonathan ignores them.

She knows she needs to tell David... but how? When will be a good time? If she does, what will happen?

This story was good, but at times the actual *story* was overshadowed by sex. The sex was hot, yes, but there was just too much of it. I much rather read a story where the sex is not taking place every other page, for pages, where the story is about the characters, what's going on, and the sex doesn't feel like the main component. I ended up skimming a lot because of that. But all in all, when I drilled down past the sex, the meat of the story was a good one.

Worst thing about this book was the major cliffy at the end, so be sure you have Bind Me locked and loaded!

  ****5 "Wild and frantic crescendo" Stars****

Oh the emotions this book wrung out of me! It grabbed me in the first few pages and didn't turn me loose until it had completely drained me.

 

I wanted to turn away... Ivory is only 17, and her *teacher* is 10 years her senior. I wanted to be appalled... but it was written so well, and it was mentioned that 17 was the "age of consent", and Ivory isn't your everyday 17 year old. I found her to be so much older, she'd seen so much, been through so much, and lost so much.

So I settled in and enjoyed the ride and Pam Godwin didn't disappoint. She wrote this book with the perfect elements of BDSM, erotica, and (lightly) dark, and dark erotica is one of my favorite genres.

Ivory

 

    "She's a dark portrait of soft curves and chestnut hair with deep golden skin that seems to absorb shadows in the room..."
 
Ivory lost her dad a few years earlier, she was very close to him and with his death came physical abuse from her drugged up brother, her brother's best friend, Lorenzo, (who is a real douchebag, by the way), rapes and sodomizes her, and her mother neglects her chasing her next high. At school she's the "odd girl out"... the girls don't like her, they look at her like she's white trash because of where she comes from, and the boys only want one thing from her.

She tutors... actually she *does* homework for some of the boys... and they take her body for the privilege... and then pay her. Don't be quick to judge though, it's the only way she can "keep the lights on" at home, buy food for her cat, and maybe a little food for herself. She has one friend, Stogie, who owns a run down music store where he lets her work in the summer time for a little money and allows her to practice her piano each night. In turn Ivory cares for him the best way she can.

Even though Ivory and her family are quite poor, her father sacrificed everything before he died to make sure she got into the prestigious and expensive, Le Moyne, a preforming arts high school.

It's there, walking in late to her class on the first day of her senior year that she finds that her beloved teacher has been removed and the devil stands in her place.

Emeric Marceaux

 

    "In the depraved innards of my soul, I thrill at being the thing she fears. I want to claim her apprehension, dread, and uncertainty. I want to take ownership of all of her emotions and be the sole reason she trembles and cries."

Mr. Marceaux is to be not only Ivory's new music teacher, be her private tutor in classical piano. Ivory wants to go to Leopold, but that isn't really why he's there.

His Dominant side is immediately drawn to Ivory, he must possess her, no matter the risks to himself, but he is concerned with the risks to her and her future if he makes a mistake.

Emeric has three rules for Ivory. "Don't question me. Don't lie to me. And never look away from me."

And she won't. She may... "omit" a few things, but that's okay, right?

Emeric & Ivory

 

    "All my disgusting secrets have finally caught up with me. But for the first time in my life, I don't have to face them alone."

Together Emeric and Ivory are a symphony of sexual heat, lust, desire, discipline, caring, trust, want and need, that practically burned right through my Kindle. This author writes a story about 2 people, and intertwines some of the most beautiful sex around them. The sexual scenes in this book are perfectly placed, realistic, and damn hot!

 

    "This brutal man is my home. His hell is my heaven. I'm his Ivory, and he's my darkest note."

What to say about this book. Yeah, that's a tough one.

 

First, it was longer than it needed to be. I got so tired of Delilah's whining that I started to skim... a lot. No matter how much skimming I did, it was still there, her incessant whining.

Bryce. Hot, dominant, and sexy. Just too bad he didn't get the attention he really deserved in this book.

There is love there... and from Delilah we get all the feelings, all the emotion. From Bryce, when he finally admits it, it's brief. Basically a sideline in the book.

I didn't *hate* this book, it really had a great foundation to be a great story. But it had loose ends. What about her brother? As controlling as he was, and how he only had 2 things on his mind when it came to Delilah, taking her money and giving her pain, he just evaporated from the story. Did he never try to find her?

 

I just felt that there were too many loose ends and too much internal dialog.. but I do have to say that some of Delilah's internal dialog was pretty funny.

Not sure I'll continue with the rest of this series when it's available. I'll just have to see if I'm curious enough about Bryce and Delilah.. or if it's going to be about other characters.

*****5 "Bend to my will" Stars*****

"The woman I'm looking for will bend to my will and bask in the pain I gift her. In return I will give her everything I have and everything I am."

Agnes has had a rough time of it over the last year. The birth of her son, only to find out that he has terminal cancer, then to lose him at around 6 months old. Her marriage doesn't survive the loss, and without the support of her husband, she may not either.

One thing leads to another and she finds herself seeking out a Dominant. Someone to help her feel... something... anything again.

Enter Master Marcus. The meet online, and for many weeks they talk and get to know each other. Master Marcus is hopeful that the relationship will become something more once they meet.

Agnes, being cautious, uses her middle and maiden name as her online persona, becoming Eliza Stuart, and it's Eliza he's looking for when she agrees to meet him at the upscale BDSM club.

Agnes is excited, and nervous about her first time in a BDSM Club, but she puts on her big girl panties and heads through the door of the club and to the bar where Master Marcus has asked her to wait for him.

But then, there's more.

David sees the beautiful woman standing by the bar taking in all the scenery around her. The minute their eyes meet, he's done. He doesn't believe in love at first site... until now. He introduces himself, and who should walk up to claim her? But his best friend... Marcus.

Things get really interesting at this point!

Who will have Agnes/Eliza? Who will she want? Will the "therapy" of pain in the club help her to center her life again after such a tragic loss?

The best way to find out is to run as fast as you can and grab this book. If you enjoy a juicy BDSM story with real feelings, romance, and smexy sex, then look no further for your next book boyfriends!

*****5 "That is INSANE" Stars*****

Willow Madison is a "new to me" author, and has thrown me right into stalkerville! She's good. She's really, really good!

It's hard to review this story without giving too much away, but I'll try!

"She's obviously crazy. Obviously broken."

Grace has been terribly abused in her past, which has left her with many emotional scars. Her only option was to try and outrun all of it.

She is a very unique character to me, I don't think I've read one quite as screwed up as this poor girl is.

"Breaking a woman is easy once you apply simple mindfuck techniques"

Simon takes women, breaks them, trains them, and sells them. It's who he is and he makes no apologies for it. He has spotted Grace, and he wants her, and in his line of work, he always gets what he wants. He's a hard character to get a read on, one minute he excites me, the next I hate him. But all wrapped up around that box of crazy is someone with a story that I want to learn more about.

Miles... now if you think what I've said here about Grace and Simon is crazy, well, just wait until you meet Miles.

"I have a plan for us, my love. A way that we can be together always. Would you like that?"

Miles is the man left behind, and he wants Grace back. She's elusive but he has the money to find her and bring her home.

And that cliffhanger! Damn! Just. Damn. This book is full of the dark and crazy, and I loved it! I can't wait to read We Were One Once Book 2!

Beast by Sam Crescent & Jenika Snow

Beast by Sam Crescent

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Writing: ★★
Story: ★★
Characters: ★

Overall rating: 1.6

Not even sure what I just read. It was like some guy, Beast, playing at being a dominant and a bad ass biker. It seemed to me that the only way he could get to Bridget was to hold his, and the club's, protection over her head. Fuck me; Submit to me; Suck my dick; if you want my protection.

By 45% I was ready to DNF this book. Forty-five percent! Up to that point it was sex, sex, and more sex. Don't get me wrong, I love sex in my books, but this just wasn't believable in the least, and I didn't get the warm fuzzies from it. But I figured I needed to keep going to at *least* get to the damn story. Where was Rafe? Was there going to be a showdown? Was I *ever* going to find out?

Bridget, what a weak woman. I could not feel sorry for her. She was naive, and weak. She looks at herself in the mirror and doesn't recognize the woman she's become. Her ex changed everything about her, her hair, her clothes, etc. And here she is, changing just as quick as she can for Beast.

Beast's "inner" monologue was much better than when he opened his mouth. And of course, we have to have a male character with an 11" penis. Really? Realistic much?

Soon after he's spanked her with a belt, had her in every position imaginable, completely turned her into his "submissive" to his wonderful "Dominant" side, he's changing her. Wanting her to be his "slut". Even though, for one moment she denies it, it's too late, he's already done it; changed her into something he wanted. She has no backbone.

But I do want to give her props for taking all 11" of Beast.. *anally*.

If the author(s) think this is what Dominance and Submission is all about, they are terribly, terribly mistaken. Either you have it in the book and do it right, or don't attempt it.

Beast and Bridget are step siblings. The last time they saw each other she was 14 and he was 18. They have not seen or spoken to each other in 20 years. She goes to him for help, her ex, who is in the mafia, is looking for her and means to kill her because of something she's seen. Beast is the only person she knows to turn to for help, even though they didn't leave things on a very good note when he left to join an MC and she and her parents moved away.

And what does Beast do? He tells her that he'll help her "for a price". How nice. But, at this point, she'll do anything to save her life. Even give up her body to Beast and all his brothers. Beast takes full advantage of her and her naiveté.

Beast goes on and on about how she played center stage in all his sexual fantasies. Ummm. Dude, when you saw her last she was FOURTEEN! One line that turned me off immediately.. "I want to fuck your pussy and fill you with my spunk." Said the same day they meet after 20 years. And seriously? Who says "spunk" anymore?

Okay, so I was wrong about Beast's inner monologue...

"He kind of liked the thought of a little fight where she only wore her underwear and was forced to fight the other bitches for his dick."

Yeah, Beast is kind of a douche.

Finally, finally.. at chapter 11 we start to see some discussion about Rafe and what the club is going to do!!

It lasts for less than a couple pages and we're back to sex.

It does pick up again around 70%. We do get to see Beast when he isn't a complete dick. But Bridget is still a hot mess. But she's his hot mess, and I can't think of two people more deserving of each other.

I know, from just the few snippets we get, that Beast, in his own way, really does care for Bridget, and we do finally get to see that, but not until it's too far into the story to care.

I like these authors and have read other books they've written, but they totally missed it with this one.
