Rating: **** 1/2
Made up of three novellas, this book is well written and very arousing.
Two of the novellas are set in the distant past, one in the future,
but all contain sheer eroticism and tight writing. This is simply some
of the best that Renaissance E-Books has to offer in the adult fiction
(Sizzler) line.
The book opens with the novella, "Bondage, Beauty and the Beast." Brianne
is naked and helpless with her hands bound before her. She is on a country
lane somewhere with her head under a velvet hood. Her husband has died
and to make sure that Brianne can't get her share of the inheritance,
her stepson is selling her as a slave. When her hood is removed so that
the buyer can check the quality of her face, she meets the Beast and
faints.
They complete the transaction and she soon finds herself scrubbing the
floors, adorned only in the chains that press sensitively against her
body. He shows her compassion in the beginning, but after a failed escape
attempt, she must submit fully to being his slave. There is a reason
why castles have dungeons and the Beast puts his to very good use.
The next novella, "A Question of Pleasure," concerns Rose Carson, Spy
for the Confederacy during the Civil War. While spying for the south,
she has been sleeping with Major Alan McReynolds of the Union Army.
She has fallen deeply in love with him, as he has with her, but he also
suspects that she is a spy. She wanders into his trap and he decides
to take matters firmly in hand to urge her to confess.
The final novella is set in the distant future and is titled "The Bloodslave."
In the year 2459 A.D. a band of mercenary vampires wage a battle against
the T'tcha Ker. The mercenary vampires, who also happen to be telepathic,
are winning the battle. They are in a mop up style operation as they
come under fire from a sniper. As they work closer to the sniper who
is running out of ammunition, they realize that the sniper is human
and even better, a woman.
They capture her and quickly discover that she is also a virgin. As
if she ever really had a choice, she is forced to satisfy their longings,
as they have not seen a woman in a very, very long time. But, as the
novella unfolds, one has to wonder who really is the prisoner?
These three novellas make up a very good book. My personal favorite
was the first novella, but the entire book is well written and arousing.
Whips, paddles, various devices, candle wax, and a few other favorite
things make up just part of this book. If you are into bondage and such,
this is definitely one to add to the collection today.
