This review is from: Doing It for Daddy: Short and Sexy Fiction about a Very Forbidden Fantasy (Paperback)

Okay I picked up this book thinking that it was an erotic book on a taboo subject. It's just S/M in a role-playing set up. Did I think it would be incestuous fiction? Yes I did (I'll admit it). Unfortunately I didn't get that. So if that's what you're thining this book is and why you're buying it, keep on moving... unless you like big sweaty men disciplining and doing othe rbig sweaty men while being called 'Daddy'. There were a few heterosexual stories in there which were hot, but they were exception not the rule. So if you enjoy gay fiction, pick this up. If I had known I would have skipped it cuz that's not my thing. (no offense to those who like it, it's just that I don't)

3.0 out of 5 stars sexy fantasy, uneven treatment, June 24, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Doing It for Daddy: Short and Sexy Fiction about a Very Forbidden Fantasy (Paperback)

the Daddy/boy or Daddy/girl fantasies are hot, scary, and still extremely taboo. that's probably one of the things i like so much about them, and i think having a book of erotica strictly about this fantasy is a wonderful idea. unfortunately, not all of the stories in this collection gripped me as much as i'd hoped they would. the best one, in my opinion, was a two-part story called "The Leatherdaddy and the Femme," which tackled role reversals, gender play, and hot sex all at once. many of the other stories didn't stand out as much, to my mind, and one or two of them seemed to push the line of where consent gets withdrawn, which made me a little uncomfortable... of course, this is why it's so good that amazon.com gives discounts on everything; this book may not have been worth $10 or $11, but for $8, it's worth having.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent S/M Reader, April 24, 2000

The very first time I read this book, I was shocked... the second time, I was intrigued, and now, I could read it cover to cover repeatedly and never get enough. This is some of the best S/M erotica I have ever read. Not surprising though coming from Pat, she has never let her readers down before. Looking forward to Doing It For Daddy 2!
