Right now we're reviewing 'Playing easy to get'. It's an anthology with books by Kresley Cole, Sherrilyn Kenyon, and Jade Black. You can review it any time you want, and you can also review any of the books that we've already reviewed (if you've already read them and all that). The books we've read are listed on the first post, along with links to the reviews of them, and links to the authors websites and the actual books.

Two Thumbs Up & One Raspberry
"Playing Easy to Get" review:
All three authors were new to me. I liked Jaid Black and Kresley Cole's stories, although Cole's was a bit confusing for a while.
Truthfully, I thought Kenyon's story was horrible... laughably, childishly, terrible. I've just gotten into another story by Kenyon, in the same 'series' that is quite good, though, so I guess it was just the plot of the story in this anthology: I found her depiction of the mob to be insultingly cartoonish.
(Jeez, Linds, taking it personally, much???)
On the other hand, I know NOTHING about Scandinavian mythology/Valkyrie mythology, so those two stories worked for me. I guess sometimes ignorance IS bliss, huh?
I did not see it as a BDSM book, but some of the sex scenes were pretty good. OK, I loved the auction in Jaid Black's story: fantasy of mine.
It did lead me to three new authors that I will be reading more of in the future, so - thanks!

That's part of why I felt a lot was cut out. Kenyon normally does stories with a good deal of depth, but you could totally see that she was trying to fit a big story into it. Ya know?
On the other hand, I know NOTHING about Scandinavian mythology/Valkyrie mythology, so those two stories worked for me. I guess sometimes ignorance IS bliss, huh?
LOL I know more than the average person about Scandinavian and Norse mythology, and I like it when they twist or add to standard mythology. I think it's a fun flight of fancy.

If you enjoyed that, Jaid Black has several of that series you should check out. Like I've said, she's great wanker fodder.

I'm going to try to be more on top of things this month. So let's go ahead and see what y'all want to read in October 2009.
1.) Kushiel's Justice by Jacqueline Carey
Bestseller Carey's fifth book in her Kushiel's Legacy series, volume two of her Imriel fantasy trilogy (after 2006's Kushiel's Scion), is a moody tale of violence and divided loyalties. Phèdre nó Delaunay, the sexually adventurous heroine of the first trilogy, has become a placid foster mother to Prince Imriel, son of the unseen traitor Melisande Shahrizai.
Carey's infamous explicit sex scenes now portray Imriel's illicit and often violent affair with Sidonie, daughter of Queen Ysandre. Their romance is frustrated by Imriel's obligation to marry Dorelei, an Alban princess, and beget future rulers of Alba. When Dorelei and her unborn son are betrayed and Imriel is badly wounded, he finds himself torn between his vow to avenge his wife and child and his desire to seek solace in Sidonie's arms. His inner conflicts are ameliorated by religious faith, a change from previous books that may please some readers and dismay others. Imriel serves well as protagonist, however, and events are clearly building to what promises to be a spectacular climax in the sixth volume.
2.) Queen of the Darkness , by Anne Bishop.
"Queen of the Darkness" is the third and last book in Anne Bishop's extraordinary "Black Jewels Trilogy." This is a strong novel which truly enhances the material in the first two books and provides a most fitting conclusion to this epic series. I would strongly advise reading the books in order, beginning with "Daughter of the Blood" and then "Heir to the Shadows" to best appreciate the intricate story, characters and unique world that Ms. Bishop has created. I only wish the author had written a quartet!
3.)Wolf Tales by Kate Douglas
Welcome To A World Where Nothing Is What It Seems And Every Touch Is Ecstasy
When Alexandria’s car goes off the road in a terrible blizzard, she has no idea night will bring a powerful rescuer and the start of an ecstatic sexual awakening. The moment Xandi wakes in Stefan’s muscular arms, feels the heat of his body pressing against hers, she feels no fear.
Instead, she allows herself to be taken by one who is more than a man, whose primal nature is never far from him. As their connection grows, and as Xandi gradually loses her sensual inhibitions, experiencing pleasures she never dreamed possible, she is drawn deeper into Stefan’s mysterious world, meeting the alluring beauty, Keisha, as well as the dominant and sometimes ruthlessly commanding Anton, who can have any man or woman he wants…in any way he wishes…
4.) One Dark Night by Jaid Black.
Finally! A Jaid Black book with a meaningful plot! I was actually engrossed in the mystery of this little who-done-it and not just in the sex scenes. Reading many of Jaid's other stories is a cross between the story line of a cheap porno and the sickeningly sweet endings of a childhood fairy tale. But not this book! Amazing! I hope she keeps it up!
5.) Gordon by Edith Templeton.
Originally written under a pseudonym, this thrilling novel of passion in post-World War II London was banned upon its publication in the late 1960s, and is only now being republished under the author’s real name. Edith Templeton creates an indelible character in the smartly dressed Louisa, a savvy young woman in the midst of a divorce who meets a charismatic man in a pub and within an hour has been sexually conquered by him on a garden bench. Thus begins her baffling but magnetic love affair with, and virtual enslavement to, Richard Gordon.
6.) Warrior's Woman by Johanna Lindsey.
Book Description:In the year 2139, fearless Tedra De Arr sets out to rescue her beleaguered planet Kystran from the savage rule of the evil Crad Ce Moerr. Experienced in combat but not in love, the beautiful, untouched Amazon flies with Martha, her wise-cracking, free-thinking computer, to a world where warriors reigns supreme--and into the arms of the one man she can never hope to vanquish: the bronzed barbarian Challen Ly-San-Ter. A magnificent creature of raw yet disciplined desires, the muscle-bound primitive succeeds where no puny Kystran male had before--igniting a raging fire within Tedra that must be extinguished before she can even think of saving her enslaved world. . .
7.) Choke by Chuck Palahniuk
Victor Mancini is a ruthless con artist. Victor Mancini is a med-school dropout who's taken a job playing an Irish indentured servant in a colonial-era theme park in order to help care for his Alzheimer's-afflicted mother. Victor Mancini is a sex addict. Victor Mancini is a direct descendant of Jesus Christ. All of these statements about the protagonist of Choke are more or less true. Welcome, once again, to the world of Chuck Palahniuk.
"Art never comes from happiness." So says Mancini's mother only a few pages into the novel. Given her own dicey and melodramatic style of parenting, you would think that her son's life would be chock-full of nothing but art. Alas, that's not the case. In the fine tradition of Oedipus, Stephen Dedalus, and Anthony Soprano, Victor hasn't quite reconciled his issues with his mother. Instead, he's trawling sexual-addiction recovery meetings for dates and purposely choking in restaurants for a few moments of attention. Longing for a hug, in other words, he's settling for the Heimlich.
8) The Love Slave by Bertrice Small
From the classic Skye O'Malley series to Love, Remember Me, Bertrice Small's enchanting, exotic, and erotic tales have won her a multitude of fans. Her latest passionate adventure tells the tale of a fiery Celtic beauty and an Arabian master of erotic arts.
9.) The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larsson
This has been a huge bestseller all of Europe and for good reason. It is a crime novel which combines a great plot with really powerful themes such as intolerance and corporate corruption. I'm really looking forward to the next two books in the trilogy.
10.) Memoirs of a Geisha by by Arthur Golden.
Fiction that reads like an autobiography detailing the life and servitude of a geisha. Fascinating to read in a D/s light. Well-researched.
(Synopsis from : http://www.submissiveloving.com/bdsmnovel.html )
11.) Swallowing Darkness (Meredith Gentry, Book 7) by Laurell K. Hamilton
I am Meredith, princess of faerie, wielder of the hands of Flesh and Blood, and at long last, I am with child–twins, fathered by my royal guard. Though my uncle, Taranis, King of Light and Illusion, claims that he is the true father since he abducted me from my home, betrayed, and defiled me. And now he has branded my guards as a threat to my unborn children.
Bearing an heir has placed me halfway to my aunt’s throne, that much closer to my reign over the Unseelie Court–and well ahead of her son, my cousin Cel, in this race. Now I must stay alive to see my children born and claim my place as queen.
But not all in faerie are pleased with the news, and conspirators from every court in the realm plot against me and mine. They seek to strip my guards, my lovers, from me by poisoned word or cold steel. But I still have supporters, and even friends, among the goblins and the sluagh, who will stand by me.
I am Meredith Nic Essus, and those who would defy and destroy me are destined to pay a terrible price–for I am truly my father’s daughter. To protect what is mine, I will sacrifice anything–even if it means waging a great battle against my darkest enemies and making the most momentous decision ever made as princess of faerie.
12.) Halfway to the Grave (Night Huntress, Book 1) by Jeaniene Frost
Half-vampire Catherine Crawfield is going after the undead with a vengeance, hoping that one of these deadbeats is her father—the one responsible for ruining her mother's life. Then she's captured by Bones, a vampire bounty hunter, and is forced into an unholy partnership.
In exchange for finding her father, Cat agrees to train with the sexy night stalker until her battle reflexes are as sharp as his fangs. She's amazed she doesn't end up as his dinner—are there actually good vampires? Pretty soon Bones will have her convinced that being half-dead doesn't have to be all bad. But before she can enjoy her newfound status as kick-ass demon hunter, Cat and Bones are pursued by a group of killers. Now Cat will have to choose a side . . . and Bones is turning out to be as tempting as any man with a heartbeat.
Books I can't get at my library:
13.) Menage by Emma Holly
Bookstore owner Kate comes home from work one day to find her two flatmates in bed...together. Joe - a sensitive composer - is mortified. Sean - an irrepressible bad boy - asks her to join in. Kate's been fantasising about her hunky new houseshares since they moved in, but she was convinced they were both gay.
Realising that pleasure is a multi-faceted thing, she sets her cares aside and embarks on a menage a trois with the wild duo. Kate wants nothing more than to keep both her admirers happy, but inevitably things become complicated, especially at work.
Kate has told her colleagues that Joe and Sean are gay but the gossip begins when she's caught in a clinch with one of them in her lunch hour! To add to this, one of Kate's more conservative suitors is showing interest again, but she's hooked on the different kind of loving that she enjoys with her boys - even though she knows it cannot last. Or can it?
14.) Breaking the Girl by Kim Corum
See what all the fuss is about. "I wasn't a slave. I was a willing participant." "His name was Frank. Just Frank. His last name really doesn't matter. It was Smith or Jones or Gallagher or... Hell. Just pick one. They're really all the same. I didn't know that much about him." "Maybe Frank classified me as a whore." "I stopped talking, begging, pleading. Plotting. I wasn't going to win him over. It was his way or no way. And I knew that. So it was his way." "I just wasn't that kind of tie me up, tie me down, beat me, switch me, hold me tight, love me forever' kind of girl. Frank was that kind of guy. Which made me that kind of girl." "And when it was over, we fell away from each other gasping for air." ".he brought the money-in fifties and hundreds-to me, delivering it in a bank bag. Delivering it to me with a big smile on his face, as if he were happy to deliver it, glad he could accommodate me. Who was the real slave here?" Breaking the Girl-a story of white hot sex and submission.
15.) Carrie's Story: An Erotic S/M Novel (Paperback) by Molly Weatherfield (I now own this one.)
At the outset, I should say that once you have read Carrie's Story you will probably want to read the sequel "Safe Word". This book is outstanding as an exploration of BDSM. Told from the submissive's viewpoint (ie as a first person narrative) it affords us a marvellous insight into the mind of someone who would place themselves at the mercy of another person, fully understanding of the pain and suffering that might result. But of course it also provides the answering motivation, the intensity of experience, the absolution from decision, the pleasure obtained from subordinating one's own desires to those of another.
It is the self-critical (what other reviewers have termed sassy) self-awareness of the central character that carries throughout this novel that makes it so special. This is delivered in a light-hearted, but brutally honest manner.
No question it is highly erotic. But there are many other novels that achieve that. This one transcends the mere erotic and captivates the reader. The author generates a tension that draws the reader on and enfolds you in the story. I have not found that in an erotic novel since reading The Story Of O - and I can give Carrie's Story no better praise than that comparison.
16.) Slaves of the Empire by Aaron Travis.
Steven Saylor in disguise, his hot porn still includes marvelous details of Rome at its dirtiest, wealthiest, and most kinky.
17.) Topping From Below by Laura Reese.
The title of this devilishly pornographic?albeit literate?novel is taken from the argot of sadomasochism and refers to a rebellious dynamic in which the dominant partner (the "top") is subtly manipulated by the submissive partner (the "bottom").
After her young sister, Franny, is found murdered?bound, gagged and mutilated?Nora Tibbs, a journalist for the Sacramento Bee, discovers in Franny's computer a diary that details her brief affair with "M.," an arrogant music professor in his late 40s. Cruelly exploiting the overweight, love-starved woman, M. forced Franny to submit to a humiliating gamut of outre sexual practices.
Convinced that M. is Franny's murderer, Nora sets out to prove his guilt by pretending to submit to his depraved aberrations. But, to her astonishment, she discovers a dark, pagan side of herself when M. enthralls her with intense, if perilous, sexual pleasure. Graphic descriptions of exotic sexual practices (bondage and discipline, sadomasochism, bestiality, etc.) accumulate, counterpointed by Nora's sweetly romantic relationship with a fellow reporter.
The suspense, a bit attenuated by thin secondary characters, also is muted by artless foreshadowing, but the conclusion is satisfying in a savage sort of way and Nora's plunge "down, all the way down" under M.'s manipulations will keep most readers gripped even as they're aware that Reese's shameless pandering is manipulating them in turn. Comparison to Story of O is well earned. 100,000 first printing; Literary Guild and Doubleday Recommended for adult fiction collections.
18.) As She's Told by Anneke Jabob (Who I met on Fetlife btw and I now own this one.)
As She's Told is a story about two caring, thoughtful individuals, and the development of a bdsm relationship that is intense, loving, and creative: steeped in imagination, embedded in the real world. It's about a passionate, private sexual reality, in which the balance of power tips only one way.
Anders and Maia want nothing less than total power exchange, without games, negotiations or safewords. Neither can tolerate pretence; the power relationship has to be as genuine as it is absolute, but Anders is more than aware of the risks to inexperienced Maia if she is wrong about what she can handle. His challenge, early in the relationship is to walk a careful line “between games and gobbling her up.”
Step by step Maia hands over her autonomy and slips into the obedience that is essential to her nature. Anders investigates her like new terrain, exploring, manipulating and experimenting on both mind and body. He introduces her to spanking, excruciating erotic teasing and humiliation, and warns her that when she moves in with him, she’ll be like “an animal on a very short tether.” She makes her choice. Anders’ creativity with hardware and technology takes many interesting turns. Bondage, punishment, confinement, animal roles, teasing and denial, predicaments, objectification, all are explored.
The deepening of the relationship and the intensity of Anders’ control is balanced by play and laughter, and by the couple’s connections to the world beyond their walls, to work and music and friends. Some of those friends come to be included in the ménage, one way and another. As Maia struggles and adapts to her slave role, Anders faces the limits of his power in the real world. Their support for each other is the underlying structure on which the book rests.
As She’s Told by Anneke Jacob can be found at http://www.pinkflamingo.com/ in paperback and ebook formats. You can read an excerpt there, too, and a couple of reviews.
Books I've recently bought:
19.) The Darker Passions: Frankenstein by Amarantha Knight (I now own this one too.)
This is NOT for the meek. It will definitely put off the weak willed. This type of book is truly only for those who have the darkest passions and wish to see them explored in a fiction format. I think the author was very clever in her approach to the classic story. I do feel that a comparison to Anne Rice isn't appropriate. Rice's work is "vanilla" to this deep dark chocolate; which for many is a delicious treat. I tremendously enjoyed this book.
The mistress of erotic horror sets her sights on Mary Shelleys darkest creation. What if you could create a living, breathing human? What shocking acts could it be taught to perform, to desire, to love? Find out what pleasures await those who play God in another breathtaking installation in the popular Darker Passions series. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title

In addition I have another book thread for reads that do not have to do with BDSM. It's called reading books for pleasure and it is here:

Cruelly exploiting the overweight, love-starved woman, M. forced Franny to submit to a humiliating gamut of outre sexual practices.
Convinced that M. is Franny's murderer, Nora sets out to prove his guilt by pretending to submit to his depraved aberrations. But, to her astonishment, she discovers a dark, pagan side of herself when M. enthralls her with intense, if perilous, sexual pleasure. Graphic descriptions of exotic sexual practices (bondage and discipline, sadomasochism, bestiality, etc.) accumulate, counterpointed by Nora's sweetly romantic relationship with a fellow reporter.
The suspense, a bit attenuated by thin secondary characters, also is muted by artless foreshadowing, but the conclusion is satisfying in a savage sort of way and Nora's plunge "down, all the way down" under M.'s manipulations will keep most readers gripped even as they're aware that Reese's shameless pandering is manipulating them in turn. Comparison to Story of O is well earned. 100,000 first printing; Literary Guild and Doubleday Recommended for adult fiction collections.
18.) As She's Told by Anneke Jabob (Who I met on Fetlife btw and I now own this one.)
As She's Told is a story about two caring, thoughtful individuals, and the development of a bdsm relationship that is intense, loving, and creative: steeped in imagination, embedded in the real world. It's about a passionate, private sexual reality, in which the balance of power tips only one way.
Anders and Maia want nothing less than total power exchange, without games, negotiations or safewords. Neither can tolerate pretence; the power relationship has to be as genuine as it is absolute, but Anders is more than aware of the risks to inexperienced Maia if she is wrong about what she can handle. His challenge, early in the relationship is to walk a careful line “between games and gobbling her up.”
Step by step Maia hands over her autonomy and slips into the obedience that is essential to her nature. Anders investigates her like new terrain, exploring, manipulating and experimenting on both mind and body. He introduces her to spanking, excruciating erotic teasing and humiliation, and warns her that when she moves in with him, she’ll be like “an animal on a very short tether.” She makes her choice. Anders’ creativity with hardware and technology takes many interesting turns. Bondage, punishment, confinement, animal roles, teasing and denial, predicaments, objectification, all are explored.
The deepening of the relationship and the intensity of Anders’ control is balanced by play and laughter, and by the couple’s connections to the world beyond their walls, to work and music and friends. Some of those friends come to be included in the ménage, one way and another. As Maia struggles and adapts to her slave role, Anders faces the limits of his power in the real world. Their support for each other is the underlying structure on which the book rests.
As She’s Told by Anneke Jacob can be found at http://www.pinkflamingo.com/ in paperback and ebook formats. You can read an excerpt there, too, and a couple of reviews.
Books I've recently bought:
19.) The Darker Passions: Frankenstein by Amarantha Knight (I now own this one too.)
This is NOT for the meek. It will definitely put off the weak willed. This type of book is truly only for those who have the darkest passions and wish to see them explored in a fiction format. I think the author was very clever in her approach to the classic story. I do feel that a comparison to Anne Rice isn't appropriate. Rice's work is "vanilla" to this deep dark chocolate; which for many is a delicious treat. I tremendously enjoyed this book.
The mistress of erotic horror sets her sights on Mary Shelleys darkest creation. What if you could create a living, breathing human? What shocking acts could it be taught to perform, to desire, to love? Find out what pleasures await those who play God in another breathtaking installation in the popular Darker Passions series. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title

Movers hate moving us. Between the 4 of us we have about 20 boxes of books. The packers simply labeled them "books" instead of from whose room they came from. My back is killing me from trying to sort it all out. Eventually I'll get to sorting out the kitchen

Mistral's Kiss by Laurell K. Hamilton
Did you like the book overall or not?
I read this book quite a while back. So I looked up a discription. I wasn't about to read it again. I'm glad I read it but it was just okay for me. I liked some parts, didn't like other parts.
Do you feel it portrays BDSM in a real way, a positive way and/or your way?
Not really but it had it's power play moments.
Did you like the sex scenes in the book?
Laurell's sex scenes now seem way too repetitive to me. Furthermore she uses them to amplify powers which I don't really like. I liked it at first but after a while with that being the main way that power is gained or regained I've gotten a bit tired of it.
Did you like the rest of the book, the story in it?
I did, what little of it there was. I like it when there is more action and more storyline of a non sexual nature.
Would you be interested in reading another book by this author?
Yes. I can't quite give up on Laurell. I have to say she is getting better again IMO.
What did you like best about this selection?
The characters and story lines that weren't about sex.
What did you like the least?
The repetitive nature of the sex and the sex for power thing.
How would you have changed the story?
I'd have wanted more story, more action and more character development.

Mistral's Kiss by Laurell K. Hamilton
Did you like the book overall or not?
Yes
Do you feel it portrays BDSM in a real way, a positive way and/or your way?
I don't think it portrayed BDSM anymore than Hamiltons other books. It definitely had it's kinky moment, but that's not BDSM.
Did you like the sex scenes in the book?
Yes
Did you like the rest of the book, the story in it?
Yes
Would you be interested in reading another book by this author?
I have. Luckily she's getting out of her 'have sex every five minutes' stage and putting more of the action that hooked everyone in her books.
What did you like best about this selection?
Hm. I can't think of any one thing.
What did you like the least?
How short this one was.
How would you have changed the story?
Um. Can't think of anything, other than I wish there'd been more to it.

Playing Easy to Get
(I know, I am running a month behind..lol)
Today I decided I'm just going to give up finishing the book. Overall it just did not hold my interest.
All the authors were new to me. The first story was ok, but a little silly.
It took me a little while to get into the 2nd story. I ended up enjoying it at least somewhat. The concept of ownership always gets me hot.
The third story ..well..I'm weird when it comes to fantasy. I really got turned on by Ann Rice's Sleeping Beauty Trilogy and that kind of fantasy fairy tale. But vampires and mythical beings I just didn't have the patience for, at least at this time.
I am looking forward to reading Carrie's Story again. I just found it today while unpacking.

If you got into the Gentry books--switch to the Blake
Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake series has been one of my all-time faves, for several years now. MOST--not all--of the books in the series have a meaty supernatural detective plot to them, and as they build into the thick of the 27 & counting book series, the sex gets juicier and the S&M is much more realistic. There's vamps, werewolves and many other were-humans, humans, and other flavors. Several of the male characters will become part of your fantasy life, and there are a few good female leads as well. Most of the ladies here would enjoy aspects of the main character, Anita--she's sexy, she's badass, she loves deeply & is always relaying the wrestling match going on between her horny-bloodthirsty angel and her moral-vulnerable one. Def recommendation for male readers, too.

We've done a few of the anita blake books. A list of the books we've done is in the original post, if you want to check it out. And if you're already read some of them, you can post a review now, and I'll add it into the index.

Let's go ahead and start nominating and voting on the November 2009 BOTM!
1.) Kushiel's Justice by Jacqueline Carey
Bestseller Carey's fifth book in her Kushiel's Legacy series, volume two of her Imriel fantasy trilogy (after 2006's Kushiel's Scion), is a moody tale of violence and divided loyalties. Phèdre nó Delaunay, the sexually adventurous heroine of the first trilogy, has become a placid foster mother to Prince Imriel, son of the unseen traitor Melisande Shahrizai.
Carey's infamous explicit sex scenes now portray Imriel's illicit and often violent affair with Sidonie, daughter of Queen Ysandre. Their romance is frustrated by Imriel's obligation to marry Dorelei, an Alban princess, and beget future rulers of Alba. When Dorelei and her unborn son are betrayed and Imriel is badly wounded, he finds himself torn between his vow to avenge his wife and child and his desire to seek solace in Sidonie's arms. His inner conflicts are ameliorated by religious faith, a change from previous books that may please some readers and dismay others. Imriel serves well as protagonist, however, and events are clearly building to what promises to be a spectacular climax in the sixth volume.
2.) Queen of the Darkness , by Anne Bishop.
"Queen of the Darkness" is the third and last book in Anne Bishop's extraordinary "Black Jewels Trilogy." This is a strong novel which truly enhances the material in the first two books and provides a most fitting conclusion to this epic series. I would strongly advise reading the books in order, beginning with "Daughter of the Blood" and then "Heir to the Shadows" to best appreciate the intricate story, characters and unique world that Ms. Bishop has created. I only wish the author had written a quartet!
3.)Wolf Tales by Kate Douglas
Welcome To A World Where Nothing Is What It Seems And Every Touch Is Ecstasy
When Alexandria’s car goes off the road in a terrible blizzard, she has no idea night will bring a powerful rescuer and the start of an ecstatic sexual awakening. The moment Xandi wakes in Stefan’s muscular arms, feels the heat of his body pressing against hers, she feels no fear.
Instead, she allows herself to be taken by one who is more than a man, whose primal nature is never far from him. As their connection grows, and as Xandi gradually loses her sensual inhibitions, experiencing pleasures she never dreamed possible, she is drawn deeper into Stefan’s mysterious world, meeting the alluring beauty, Keisha, as well as the dominant and sometimes ruthlessly commanding Anton, who can have any man or woman he wants…in any way he wishes…
4.) One Dark Night by Jaid Black.
Finally! A Jaid Black book with a meaningful plot! I was actually engrossed in the mystery of this little who-done-it and not just in the sex scenes. Reading many of Jaid's other stories is a cross between the story line of a cheap porno and the sickeningly sweet endings of a childhood fairy tale. But not this book! Amazing! I hope she keeps it up!
5.) Gordon by Edith Templeton.
Originally written under a pseudonym, this thrilling novel of passion in post-World War II London was banned upon its publication in the late 1960s, and is only now being republished under the author’s real name. Edith Templeton creates an indelible character in the smartly dressed Louisa, a savvy young woman in the midst of a divorce who meets a charismatic man in a pub and within an hour has been sexually conquered by him on a garden bench. Thus begins her baffling but magnetic love affair with, and virtual enslavement to, Richard Gordon.
6.) Warrior's Woman by Johanna Lindsey.
Book Description:In the year 2139, fearless Tedra De Arr sets out to rescue her beleaguered planet Kystran from the savage rule of the evil Crad Ce Moerr. Experienced in combat but not in love, the beautiful, untouched Amazon flies with Martha, her wise-cracking, free-thinking computer, to a world where warriors reigns supreme--and into the arms of the one man she can never hope to vanquish: the bronzed barbarian Challen Ly-San-Ter. A magnificent creature of raw yet disciplined desires, the muscle-bound primitive succeeds where no puny Kystran male had before--igniting a raging fire within Tedra that must be extinguished before she can even think of saving her enslaved world. . .
7.) Choke by Chuck Palahniuk
Victor Mancini is a ruthless con artist. Victor Mancini is a med-school dropout who's taken a job playing an Irish indentured servant in a colonial-era theme park in order to help care for his Alzheimer's-afflicted mother. Victor Mancini is a sex addict. Victor Mancini is a direct descendant of Jesus Christ. All of these statements about the protagonist of Choke are more or less true. Welcome, once again, to the world of Chuck Palahniuk.
"Art never comes from happiness." So says Mancini's mother only a few pages into the novel. Given her own dicey and melodramatic style of parenting, you would think that her son's life would be chock-full of nothing but art. Alas, that's not the case. In the fine tradition of Oedipus, Stephen Dedalus, and Anthony Soprano, Victor hasn't quite reconciled his issues with his mother. Instead, he's trawling sexual-addiction recovery meetings for dates and purposely choking in restaurants for a few moments of attention. Longing for a hug, in other words, he's settling for the Heimlich.
8) The Love Slave by Bertrice Small
From the classic Skye O'Malley series to Love, Remember Me, Bertrice Small's enchanting, exotic, and erotic tales have won her a multitude of fans. Her latest passionate adventure tells the tale of a fiery Celtic beauty and an Arabian master of erotic arts.
9.) The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larsson
This has been a huge bestseller all of Europe and for good reason. It is a crime novel which combines a great plot with really powerful themes such as intolerance and corporate corruption. I'm really looking forward to the next two books in the trilogy.
10.) Memoirs of a Geisha by by Arthur Golden.
Fiction that reads like an autobiography detailing the life and servitude of a geisha. Fascinating to read in a D/s light. Well-researched.
(Synopsis from : http://www.submissiveloving.com/bdsmnovel.html )
11.) Swallowing Darkness (Meredith Gentry, Book 7) by Laurell K. Hamilton
I am Meredith, princess of faerie, wielder of the hands of Flesh and Blood, and at long last, I am with child–twins, fathered by my royal guard. Though my uncle, Taranis, King of Light and Illusion, claims that he is the true father since he abducted me from my home, betrayed, and defiled me. And now he has branded my guards as a threat to my unborn children.
Bearing an heir has placed me halfway to my aunt’s throne, that much closer to my reign over the Unseelie Court–and well ahead of her son, my cousin Cel, in this race. Now I must stay alive to see my children born and claim my place as queen.
But not all in faerie are pleased with the news, and conspirators from every court in the realm plot against me and mine. They seek to strip my guards, my lovers, from me by poisoned word or cold steel. But I still have supporters, and even friends, among the goblins and the sluagh, who will stand by me.
I am Meredith Nic Essus, and those who would defy and destroy me are destined to pay a terrible price–for I am truly my father’s daughter. To protect what is mine, I will sacrifice anything–even if it means waging a great battle against my darkest enemies and making the most momentous decision ever made as princess of faerie.
12.) Halfway to the Grave (Night Huntress, Book 1) by Jeaniene Frost
Half-vampire Catherine Crawfield is going after the undead with a vengeance, hoping that one of these deadbeats is her father—the one responsible for ruining her mother's life. Then she's captured by Bones, a vampire bounty hunter, and is forced into an unholy partnership.
In exchange for finding her father, Cat agrees to train with the sexy night stalker until her battle reflexes are as sharp as his fangs. She's amazed she doesn't end up as his dinner—are there actually good vampires? Pretty soon Bones will have her convinced that being half-dead doesn't have to be all bad. But before she can enjoy her newfound status as kick-ass demon hunter, Cat and Bones are pursued by a group of killers. Now Cat will have to choose a side . . . and Bones is turning out to be as tempting as any man with a heartbeat.
Books I can't get at my library:
13.) Menage by Emma Holly
Bookstore owner Kate comes home from work one day to find her two flatmates in bed...together. Joe - a sensitive composer - is mortified. Sean - an irrepressible bad boy - asks her to join in. Kate's been fantasising about her hunky new houseshares since they moved in, but she was convinced they were both gay.
Realising that pleasure is a multi-faceted thing, she sets her cares aside and embarks on a menage a trois with the wild duo. Kate wants nothing more than to keep both her admirers happy, but inevitably things become complicated, especially at work.
Kate has told her colleagues that Joe and Sean are gay but the gossip begins when she's caught in a clinch with one of them in her lunch hour! To add to this, one of Kate's more conservative suitors is showing interest again, but she's hooked on the different kind of loving that she enjoys with her boys - even though she knows it cannot last. Or can it?
14.) Breaking the Girl by Kim Corum
See what all the fuss is about. "I wasn't a slave. I was a willing participant." "His name was Frank. Just Frank. His last name really doesn't matter. It was Smith or Jones or Gallagher or... Hell. Just pick one. They're really all the same. I didn't know that much about him." "Maybe Frank classified me as a whore." "I stopped talking, begging, pleading. Plotting. I wasn't going to win him over. It was his way or no way. And I knew that. So it was his way." "I just wasn't that kind of tie me up, tie me down, beat me, switch me, hold me tight, love me forever' kind of girl. Frank was that kind of guy. Which made me that kind of girl." "And when it was over, we fell away from each other gasping for air." ".he brought the money-in fifties and hundreds-to me, delivering it in a bank bag. Delivering it to me with a big smile on his face, as if he were happy to deliver it, glad he could accommodate me. Who was the real slave here?" Breaking the Girl-a story of white hot sex and submission.
15.) Safe Word by Molly Weatherfield. From the author of Carrie's Story comes the continuing tale of a young woman's uncompromising sexual adventure.
Carrie leaves Jonathan, the S/M master who initiated her into a life of slave auctions, training regimes, and human "ponies" preening for dressage competitions. Whisked away to Greece by the demanding gentleman who has chosen her as his own, she learns new, more rigorous methods of sexual pleasure.
16.) Slaves of the Empire by Aaron Travis.
Steven Saylor in disguise, his hot porn still includes marvelous details of Rome at its dirtiest, wealthiest, and most kinky.
17.) Topping From Below by Laura Reese.
The title of this devilishly pornographic?albeit literate?novel is taken from the argot of sadomasochism and refers to a rebellious dynamic in which the dominant partner (the "top") is subtly manipulated by the submissive partner (the "bottom").
After her young sister, Franny, is found murdered?bound, gagged and mutilated?Nora Tibbs, a journalist for the Sacramento Bee, discovers in Franny's computer a diary that details her brief affair with "M.," an arrogant music professor in his late 40s. Cruelly exploiting the overweight, love-starved woman, M. forced Franny to submit to a humiliating gamut of outre sexual practices.
Convinced that M. is Franny's murderer, Nora sets out to prove his guilt by pretending to submit to his depraved aberrations. But, to her astonishment, she discovers a dark, pagan side of herself when M. enthralls her with intense, if perilous, sexual pleasure. Graphic descriptions of exotic sexual practices (bondage and discipline, sadomasochism, bestiality, etc.) accumulate, counterpointed by Nora's sweetly romantic relationship with a fellow reporter.
The suspense, a bit attenuated by thin secondary characters, also is muted by artless foreshadowing, but the conclusion is satisfying in a savage sort of way and Nora's plunge "down, all the way down" under M.'s manipulations will keep most readers gripped even as they're aware that Reese's shameless pandering is manipulating them in turn. Comparison to Story of O is well earned. 100,000 first printing; Literary Guild and Doubleday Recommended for adult fiction collections.
18.) As She's Told by Anneke Jabob (Who I met on Fetlife btw and I now own this one.)
As She's Told is a story about two caring, thoughtful individuals, and the development of a bdsm relationship that is intense, loving, and creative: steeped in imagination, embedded in the real world. It's about a passionate, private sexual reality, in which the balance of power tips only one way.
Anders and Maia want nothing less than total power exchange, without games, negotiations or safewords. Neither can tolerate pretence; the power relationship has to be as genuine as it is absolute, but Anders is more than aware of the risks to inexperienced Maia if she is wrong about what she can handle. His challenge, early in the relationship is to walk a careful line “between games and gobbling her up.”
Step by step Maia hands over her autonomy and slips into the obedience that is essential to her nature. Anders investigates her like new terrain, exploring, manipulating and experimenting on both mind and body. He introduces her to spanking, excruciating erotic teasing and humiliation, and warns her that when she moves in with him, she’ll be like “an animal on a very short tether.” She makes her choice. Anders’ creativity with hardware and technology takes many interesting turns. Bondage, punishment, confinement, animal roles, teasing and denial, predicaments, objectification, all are explored.
The deepening of the relationship and the intensity of Anders’ control is balanced by play and laughter, and by the couple’s connections to the world beyond their walls, to work and music and friends. Some of those friends come to be included in the ménage, one way and another. As Maia struggles and adapts to her slave role, Anders faces the limits of his power in the real world. Their support for each other is the underlying structure on which the book rests.
As She’s Told by Anneke Jacob can be found at http://www.pinkflamingo.com/ in paperback and ebook formats. You can read an excerpt there, too, and a couple of reviews.

His inner conflicts are ameliorated by religious faith, a change from previous books that may please some readers and dismay others. Imriel serves well as protagonist, however, and events are clearly building to what promises to be a spectacular climax in the sixth volume.
2.) Queen of the Darkness , by Anne Bishop.
"Queen of the Darkness" is the third and last book in Anne Bishop's extraordinary "Black Jewels Trilogy." This is a strong novel which truly enhances the material in the first two books and provides a most fitting conclusion to this epic series. I would strongly advise reading the books in order, beginning with "Daughter of the Blood" and then "Heir to the Shadows" to best appreciate the intricate story, characters and unique world that Ms. Bishop has created. I only wish the author had written a quartet!
3.)Wolf Tales by Kate Douglas
Welcome To A World Where Nothing Is What It Seems And Every Touch Is Ecstasy
When Alexandria’s car goes off the road in a terrible blizzard, she has no idea night will bring a powerful rescuer and the start of an ecstatic sexual awakening. The moment Xandi wakes in Stefan’s muscular arms, feels the heat of his body pressing against hers, she feels no fear.
Instead, she allows herself to be taken by one who is more than a man, whose primal nature is never far from him. As their connection grows, and as Xandi gradually loses her sensual inhibitions, experiencing pleasures she never dreamed possible, she is drawn deeper into Stefan’s mysterious world, meeting the alluring beauty, Keisha, as well as the dominant and sometimes ruthlessly commanding Anton, who can have any man or woman he wants…in any way he wishes…
4.) One Dark Night by Jaid Black.
Finally! A Jaid Black book with a meaningful plot! I was actually engrossed in the mystery of this little who-done-it and not just in the sex scenes. Reading many of Jaid's other stories is a cross between the story line of a cheap porno and the sickeningly sweet endings of a childhood fairy tale. But not this book! Amazing! I hope she keeps it up!
5.) Gordon by Edith Templeton.
Originally written under a pseudonym, this thrilling novel of passion in post-World War II London was banned upon its publication in the late 1960s, and is only now being republished under the author’s real name. Edith Templeton creates an indelible character in the smartly dressed Louisa, a savvy young woman in the midst of a divorce who meets a charismatic man in a pub and within an hour has been sexually conquered by him on a garden bench. Thus begins her baffling but magnetic love affair with, and virtual enslavement to, Richard Gordon.
6.) Warrior's Woman by Johanna Lindsey.
Book Description:In the year 2139, fearless Tedra De Arr sets out to rescue her beleaguered planet Kystran from the savage rule of the evil Crad Ce Moerr. Experienced in combat but not in love, the beautiful, untouched Amazon flies with Martha, her wise-cracking, free-thinking computer, to a world where warriors reigns supreme--and into the arms of the one man she can never hope to vanquish: the bronzed barbarian Challen Ly-San-Ter. A magnificent creature of raw yet disciplined desires, the muscle-bound primitive succeeds where no puny Kystran male had before--igniting a raging fire within Tedra that must be extinguished before she can even think of saving her enslaved world. . .
7.) Choke by Chuck Palahniuk
Victor Mancini is a ruthless con artist. Victor Mancini is a med-school dropout who's taken a job playing an Irish indentured servant in a colonial-era theme park in order to help care for his Alzheimer's-afflicted mother. Victor Mancini is a sex addict. Victor Mancini is a direct descendant of Jesus Christ. All of these statements about the protagonist of Choke are more or less true. Welcome, once again, to the world of Chuck Palahniuk.
"Art never comes from happiness." So says Mancini's mother only a few pages into the novel. Given her own dicey and melodramatic style of parenting, you would think that her son's life would be chock-full of nothing but art. Alas, that's not the case. In the fine tradition of Oedipus, Stephen Dedalus, and Anthony Soprano, Victor hasn't quite reconciled his issues with his mother. Instead, he's trawling sexual-addiction recovery meetings for dates and purposely choking in restaurants for a few moments of attention. Longing for a hug, in other words, he's settling for the Heimlich.
8) The Love Slave by Bertrice Small
From the classic Skye O'Malley series to Love, Remember Me, Bertrice Small's enchanting, exotic, and erotic tales have won her a multitude of fans. Her latest passionate adventure tells the tale of a fiery Celtic beauty and an Arabian master of erotic arts.
9.) The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larsson
This has been a huge bestseller all of Europe and for good reason. It is a crime novel which combines a great plot with really powerful themes such as intolerance and corporate corruption. I'm really looking forward to the next two books in the trilogy.
10.) Memoirs of a Geisha by by Arthur Golden.
Fiction that reads like an autobiography detailing the life and servitude of a geisha. Fascinating to read in a D/s light. Well-researched.
(Synopsis from : http://www.submissiveloving.com/bdsmnovel.html )
11.) Swallowing Darkness (Meredith Gentry, Book 7) by Laurell K. Hamilton
I am Meredith, princess of faerie, wielder of the hands of Flesh and Blood, and at long last, I am with child–twins, fathered by my royal guard. Though my uncle, Taranis, King of Light and Illusion, claims that he is the true father since he abducted me from my home, betrayed, and defiled me. And now he has branded my guards as a threat to my unborn children.
Bearing an heir has placed me halfway to my aunt’s throne, that much closer to my reign over the Unseelie Court–and well ahead of her son, my cousin Cel, in this race. Now I must stay alive to see my children born and claim my place as queen.
But not all in faerie are pleased with the news, and conspirators from every court in the realm plot against me and mine. They seek to strip my guards, my lovers, from me by poisoned word or cold steel. But I still have supporters, and even friends, among the goblins and the sluagh, who will stand by me.
I am Meredith Nic Essus, and those who would defy and destroy me are destined to pay a terrible price–for I am truly my father’s daughter. To protect what is mine, I will sacrifice anything–even if it means waging a great battle against my darkest enemies and making the most momentous decision ever made as princess of faerie.

Books I can't get at my library:

14.) Breaking the Girl by Kim Corum
See what all the fuss is about. "I wasn't a slave. I was a willing participant." "His name was Frank. Just Frank. His last name really doesn't matter. It was Smith or Jones or Gallagher or... Hell. Just pick one. They're really all the same. I didn't know that much about him." "Maybe Frank classified me as a whore." "I stopped talking, begging, pleading. Plotting. I wasn't going to win him over. It was his way or no way. And I knew that. So it was his way." "I just wasn't that kind of tie me up, tie me down, beat me, switch me, hold me tight, love me forever' kind of girl. Frank was that kind of guy. Which made me that kind of girl." "And when it was over, we fell away from each other gasping for air." ".he brought the money-in fifties and hundreds-to me, delivering it in a bank bag. Delivering it to me with a big smile on his face, as if he were happy to deliver it, glad he could accommodate me. Who was the real slave here?" Breaking the Girl-a story of white hot sex and submission.
15.) Safe Word by Molly Weatherfield. From the author of Carrie's Story comes the continuing tale of a young woman's uncompromising sexual adventure.
Carrie leaves Jonathan, the S/M master who initiated her into a life of slave auctions, training regimes, and human "ponies" preening for dressage competitions. Whisked away to Greece by the demanding gentleman who has chosen her as his own, she learns new, more rigorous methods of sexual pleasure.
16.) Slaves of the Empire by Aaron Travis.
Steven Saylor in disguise, his hot porn still includes marvelous details of Rome at its dirtiest, wealthiest, and most kinky.
17.) Topping From Below by Laura Reese.
The title of this devilishly pornographic?albeit literate?novel is taken from the argot of sadomasochism and refers to a rebellious dynamic in which the dominant partner (the "top") is subtly manipulated by the submissive partner (the "bottom").
After her young sister, Franny, is found murdered?bound, gagged and mutilated?Nora Tibbs, a journalist for the Sacramento Bee, discovers in Franny's computer a diary that details her brief affair with "M.," an arrogant music professor in his late 40s. Cruelly exploiting the overweight, love-starved woman, M. forced Franny to submit to a humiliating gamut of outre sexual practices.
Convinced that M. is Franny's murderer, Nora sets out to prove his guilt by pretending to submit to his depraved aberrations. But, to her astonishment, she discovers a dark, pagan side of herself when M. enthralls her with intense, if perilous, sexual pleasure. Graphic descriptions of exotic sexual practices (bondage and discipline, sadomasochism, bestiality, etc.) accumulate, counterpointed by Nora's sweetly romantic relationship with a fellow reporter.
The suspense, a bit attenuated by thin secondary characters, also is muted by artless foreshadowing, but the conclusion is satisfying in a savage sort of way and Nora's plunge "down, all the way down" under M.'s manipulations will keep most readers gripped even as they're aware that Reese's shameless pandering is manipulating them in turn. Comparison to Story of O is well earned. 100,000 first printing; Literary Guild and Doubleday Recommended for adult fiction collections.
18.) As She's Told by Anneke Jabob (Who I met on Fetlife btw and I now own this one.)
As She's Told is a story about two caring, thoughtful individuals, and the development of a bdsm relationship that is intense, loving, and creative: steeped in imagination, embedded in the real world. It's about a passionate, private sexual reality, in which the balance of power tips only one way.
Anders and Maia want nothing less than total power exchange, without games, negotiations or safewords. Neither can tolerate pretence; the power relationship has to be as genuine as it is absolute, but Anders is more than aware of the risks to inexperienced Maia if she is wrong about what she can handle. His challenge, early in the relationship is to walk a careful line “between games and gobbling her up.”
Step by step Maia hands over her autonomy and slips into the obedience that is essential to her nature. Anders investigates her like new terrain, exploring, manipulating and experimenting on both mind and body. He introduces her to spanking, excruciating erotic teasing and humiliation, and warns her that when she moves in with him, she’ll be like “an animal on a very short tether.” She makes her choice. Anders’ creativity with hardware and technology takes many interesting turns. Bondage, punishment, confinement, animal roles, teasing and denial, predicaments, objectification, all are explored.
The deepening of the relationship and the intensity of Anders’ control is balanced by play and laughter, and by the couple’s connections to the world beyond their walls, to work and music and friends. Some of those friends come to be included in the ménage, one way and another. As Maia struggles and adapts to her slave role, Anders faces the limits of his power in the real world. Their support for each other is the underlying structure on which the book rests.
As She’s Told by Anneke Jacob can be found at http://www.pinkflamingo.com/ in paperback and ebook formats. You can read an excerpt there, too, and a couple of reviews.
Books I've recently bought:
19.) The Darker Passions: Frankenstein by Amarantha Knight (I now own this one too.)
This is NOT for the meek. It will definitely put off the weak willed. This type of book is truly only for those who have the darkest passions and wish to see them explored in a fiction format. I think the author was very clever in her approach to the classic story. I do feel that a comparison to Anne Rice isn't appropriate. Rice's work is "vanilla" to this deep dark chocolate; which for many is a delicious treat. I tremendously enjoyed this book.
The mistress of erotic horror sets her sights on Mary Shelleys darkest creation. What if you could create a living, breathing human? What shocking acts could it be taught to perform, to desire, to love? Find out what pleasures await those who play God in another breathtaking installation in the popular Darker Passions series. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title
