Violence and Abuse, April 2, 2000
This review is from: Love Slave & the Peculiar Passions of Lady Meg (Paperback)
I searched for erotica in the bookstore one day, and they havemost erotica collections and S&M books, not much in-between, so Ithought I'd see what an S&M novel was like. I'd read parts of books with S&M in them, but never a book specifically for S&M fans. I knew there'd be spanking and whipping, but this two-books-in-one story was violent! Whipping, beating, rape, humiliation, slavery--and no mercy! It through me for a loop, I must say! The second story, The Peculiar Passions of Lady Meg, is a continuation of The Love Slave. Underlying all the violence and abuse, however, is actually an interesting story of three women who try to save their dignity. If you can get past the violence (or if you enjoy it but can see the underlying story), you might find Paul Little's ability to actually tell a story.

Neo-Victorian erotic s/m: lots of whips, no consensuality, November 20, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Love Slave & the Peculiar Passions of Lady Meg (Paperback)
If you're fond of the Victorian erotic novels and like good whipping scenes, this is your book. The plot involves 3 18-century virgins forcibly sent to a pre-Revolutionary southern plantation run by a lesbian sadist, and it concludes with the domme meeting her fate. The pseudo-19th-century language seemed a bit out of place, and the lack of consensuality and absence of insight into the real motivations of D/s meant I almost didn't finish it.
