Blue: The Color of Desire [Paperback]

Patrick Linney (Author), Susannah Indigo (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 2002

"Blue, visit me on Thursday, with a story or a poem written somewhere on your body. Don't knock. Enter at ten o'clock in the morning. There is a kind of vestibule. Take off your clothes, put on the blindfold you'll find on a hook, and wait. Blue, if we begin this, it may be impossible to end. So if you don't visit me, I shall understand."

Blue visits. Enters. Obeys. And so begins the most intense erotic relationship of her life.

"Blue: The Color of Desire" is an extraordinary BDSM tale of obsession and lust, poetically written on the body, travelling from a simple classroom through Cuba, England, and into the land of mastery, passion, and pain.

One of the finest pieces of erotic writing I've ever read. It is graceful, harsh, agonizing, fantastic, but mostly beautiful. -- Erotic Reader

Patrick Linney writes desire and sensual craving directly onto the reader's heart. -- Susannah Indigo, Editor-in-Chief, Clean Sheets Magazine

5.0 out of 5 stars A tremendously exhilarating read, February 6, 2003

This review is from: Blue: The Color of Desire (Paperback)

There is a glut of [bad stories] out there that present a completely ridiculous and unrealistic view to the 'vanilla' world outside of the lifestyle that some of us embrace daily. This is not one of those books - this presents a completely true world, a believable scenario that I think not only helps us kinky folk dream, but gives us something that we can strive toward. Honest, moving, and sometimes emotionally jarring. These are two real people, in a real relationship, not the cardboard cutouts that we don't seem to be able to escape in this genre.

Parts of this often read like a page from my own life, and the other parts are what I want to live. Thank you, Pat Linney - you've given us a wonderful new voice in the world of BDSM erotica, one that I pray will be heard again and again for years to come...

This review is from: Blue: The Color of Desire (Paperback)

Blue: The Color of Desire is one of the few novels that don't illustrate BDSM in a negative manner. The story is tantalizing - and the S&M parts drip with sensual prose in their brutal facade. Blue is quite a wonderful protagonist. Her love for her master helps her endure the painful training process. At the end of each session, she is rewarded with affection and enormous pleasure. This novel - along with Breaking the Girl and The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty - is a favorite of mine. Erotica has become one of my favorite guilty pleasures, and I shall pull this wonderful book out of the shelf whenever I need a guide to inventive eroticism.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elegant, hot, and amazing, July 23, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Blue: The Color of Desire (Paperback)

This book is quite amazing both in subject and style. I want to be Blue, what woman doesn't? To be loved and obsessed over, to experience hard sex all mixed in with adoration and domination, always knowing that the Master worships you. The chapter called "Blue in Cuba" is too hot to be real, to travel to exotic places and make up sexy stories at the same time. 5+ stars to Patrick Linney for originality and lust.
