This mildly entertaining novel is the story on one woman's unknown erotic desires. It tells the tale of Gloria Brennan and her desires for kinky sex. But the kink is not a major component and for the most part, soft in nature. This is more a story of the mind and how one person relates to others.

The novel opens with Thomas Decker, typical male stud. Suave, polished and debonair, he arrives at a party hosted by Suleiman Ali, dealmaker, famous middleman and proud pimp. Decker is prepared to be bored as he usually is at these parties. However, the lovely Gloria Brennan, another party guest, soon captivates him. Before long, he is in her arms and in her bed, but something does not seem right with the lovely young lady.

This sets the pattern for the next several weeks, where her spoken desires are fulfilled, but his are not. He becomes increasingly frustrated with her manner and attitude until he takes matters firmly in hand. One evening, he gets particularly fed up with her and forces her facedown into the bed. Then, he repeatedly spanks her rear as if she is a small child. While it turns him on tremendously, her only response is to order him out of her home.

At first, they do not speak for two weeks after the spanking incident. Then, she eventually confesses her arousal to him. The spanking turned her on as well and shifts the balance of power in their relationship. Firmly in control, he begins to plan their future erotic escapades. Gloria will experience more spankings, penetrations, and even have her young assistant, Sarah, erotically involved in the situation.

This novel is more of the mind than it is of the sex act. While there is little overall action in the story arc, the descriptions of the actions and thoughts of the characters are complex and detailed. The sex is arousing and fully detailed and the bondage and discipline are more in the soft side of the spectrum. All in all, this novel that seems to be aimed more at women and couples, than men, is an interesting read from a classic name in the business.
