My friend bought this book for me and I thought it was going to be the usual mix of debasing women and horrible writing, stale plot lines and no back story to make it interesting but i was soooooo wrong. Each story is like a peek into a new character's mind. They are all wonderfully written and there is so much variety. There were even some surprises in the stories that made me put the book down so i could collect my thoughts. I particularly liked this book because none of the stories were frightening. Sometimes when the subject of bondage is brought up its automatically brought around to nipple clamps and weird masks and pain. None of these were like that. They had just enough bondage to be really hot and did not go overboard into the realm of scary things I do not want to think about. I finished this book over springbreak because I just could not put it down. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in or curious about erotic restraint or anyone that just wants to read wonderfully written sexy stories.

This book is actually amazingly sexy. There are about 175 pages and in those pages, 17 different erotic stories are contained. Each story contains elements of BDSM and restraint which is awesome. A lot of the stories include elements of dominance/submission as well. What's really neat about this collection is that it isn't all just hardcore BDSM. Some of the stories talk about using regular scarves as blindfolds while others take place in BDSM clubs where the main characters play in front of a crowd. A couple of the stories are even really unique with one of them being the story of an assassin that lures her targets by promises of sex and bondage. When she gets into bed with her target this time, she finds that she can't kill him because he provides her the best sex she's had all of her life. Overall, a great collection of stories that are great for solo reading and are short enough that they can be read out loud with a partner as well.

A great set of short stories to stir the blood. They are best read by a partner or by you to yours. It is a great way to get in the mood or just send yourself off to dreamland with the right frame of mind.
