4.0 out of 5 stars Can't stop thinking about Judgment...., April 22, 2011

By 

A Lot of Reading - See all my reviews

This review is from: Judgment (Kindle Edition)

This is another case of an excellent book for a particular genre not getting deserving attention (at least as far as reviews go...for all I know it's a best seller). I feel compelled to at least write a short review because the story has not left my head even though I finished it a few days ago. Judgment is about domination and submission with a fairly violent spanking bent. Don't get it 'twisted' though, we're not talking about sweet over-the-knee erotic spankings. The action is somewhat extreme but without permanent injury. There's a bondage emphasis as well.

Judgment is a non-consensual capture story about the dominant Mountain Lord and the young woman/captive he takes a particular interest in... who he names Mischief. The Mountain Lord, Daymon Tane, is a slaver and Mischief is originally abducted with other women. The setting is then the mountain fortress where Tane and his cohorts train submissives for sale. I'm not interested in multiple captive stories unless it is personal and important between a particular couple, which is how things develop here. It is definitely a story about Tane and Mischief and, even though I know it's "wrong", I love them together. The secondary characters (mostly the other dominants/masters) and the world building make the story very interesting as well and help to move the action along. And there's also the aspect of Mischief, after becoming the perfect submissive object, interacting with the outside world.

Two other things to say. If you liked stories like Kitty Thomas' Comfort Food, Stephanie Snow's Demon's Captive or Remittance Girl's Gaijin (all of which I recommend), you will definitely like this. Also, it turns out this book existed in another incarnation...as Judgement (notice the now absent E). From what I can tell, this was with a former publisher, BUT, if you go to that link, you can read a few other positive reviews.

OK, I said my peace. I hope you enjoy this if you decide to read it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating exploration of hard core domination, December 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Judgment (Paperback)

While Judgement seemed a bit heavy on the descriptive whipping scenes, what truly was fascinating was watching the steps and journey of the main character, "Mischief" as she became further entrenched in the lifestyle at Judgement. This was offset in a clever way, and truly one of the more interesting aspects of the book, by showing how others not in the scene (the police force) react to the training and ingraining of Mischief after she has been a part of Judgement for 10 years. The last few chapters, in which Mischief becomes the personal slave to the Master of Masters at Judgement, are most gripping, and days later I still am trying to get them out of my mind. A great read for any submissive or Master interested in exploring serious depth in the lifestyle.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best spanking novels I've ever read, July 11, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Judgment (Paperback)

There are very few erotica novels out there worth reading. This was one of them. Written from the woman's prospective, the story takes the reader on an imaginative journey into the realm of B&D enthusiasts. I loved it.
