Erotic  Anthology

A little BDSM never hurt anyone.  In fact, in this anthology, three couples are bound and determined to experience life to the fullest even while tied down. <G>

Restraint – Vonna Harper

Present Day

Evi Hult is inventorying the set of Dungeon Dames, a BDSM porn movie site, for her employer and decides to take a moment to indulge in one of her fantasies.  She’s all alone and has never allowed herself to truly experience the things she’s dreamed about.  So, the bed with the soft handcuffs really appeals to Evi, as does the naked man who appears while she is enjoying her fantasy.  Is he real or just a hallucination?

Thorn takes Evi to sexual heights she has only dreamed of in Restraint.  Before their night is over, Evi comes out of her shell and comes into her own as a woman.  Unfortunately, the question is never answered about who Thorn is or where he comes from.  He’s real enough, but he appears and disappears at will and you don’t learn that much more about him.. A sexy story?  Absolutely.  But confusing as well.

Mirrors Within Mirrors - P.F. Kozak

Manhattan - Present Day

Anxiety has sent Patricia, a successful corporate executive, to a psychiatrist.  However, her lurid fantasies turn out to be more than he can take and he refers her to another shrink to get help.  Dr. Marc Forrest has some interesting methods he’s ready to implement to help Patricia get past her issues.  But is she ready to live out the fantasies she’s only dreamed about?

Put away the Blackberry and pick up the fan!  Mirrors Within Mirrors is a hot tale with some interesting twists.  After making it to the top of her professional game, Patricia's stress levels spikes instead of decreasing.  She knows her staff calls her Ms. Piranha behind her back, but lack of sleep has left her downright bitchy.  Marc’s techniques are certainly not the norm and the kinkiness appeals to Patricia in ways she never expects. 

Fit To Be Tied - Lisa G. Riley

 Present Day

Chloe and Logan Carnegie met and married within a very short period of time.  Both knew immediately that they were perfect for each other.  But in the handful of months they have been together, they are still learning about each other.  Logan is wonderfully thrilled to discover his new wife is sexually adventurous and likes to play games.  He hopes their delight in each other never wanes.  But Logan also knows that Chloe is hiding something from him.  Will she ever trust him or will this secret drive a wedge between them?

A wonderful start to a new marriage suffers a few bumps in Fit To Be Tied.  Chloe and Logan are soul mates and have everything going for them professionally and personally.  Although their sexual escapades are light, fun, and sizzlingly erotic, they are overshadowed by the secret Chloe is keeping.

Three couples go places most have never been before as they explore their wilder sides.  Threesomes, anal sex, not to mention plenty of the standard missionary position come into play in BOUND TO ECSTASY.  However, flimsy plots definitely weaken the overall appeal of the anthology.
