Needless to say, I was not disappointed. In the genre of BDSM there are some very extreemly fantastical tales out there. This is not one of them. Having a selection of 60 tales to chose from, pick your favorite. However you should be warned that this book has a specific theme, that is to say, the Tops are all male and the bottoms are all female. If that is not to your taste, this is not worth spending the money on. If you're more into vanilla erotica, why are you even reading this? Violence is the theme of this anthology and shocking as it may be to new comers to the genre, the women bottoms in these stories love it.
This collection of anthology is the best I have found so far. The narratives actually have literary style which is not always the case in most eroticas. This is one of those books that you'll either love or hate. In my case, it was one of the best books I bought in the genre to date.

I've read erotica before but I'm pretty new to BDSM erotica. To tell you the truth the stories I've read in the past usually scared me to bits that I've shied away from them. I usually found those stories too far fetched and just too much for my tastes. But the stories in Master/Slave made me give this genre another chance.

I got this book as a gift and I must say it is one of the best erotica anothologies I've ever read. The short stories here are very hot and sexy but at the same time love and romance are hinted at. Some are short and sweet and others run far longer. This is what makes it a great anthology. It's the variety. You get a little bit of everything.

I also liked the fact that each author wrote a little blurb right before the story to give a little insight of why they wrote it and what inspired them. M.T. Morley did a great job of compiling the right kind of stories into this compilation.

For those just taking a peek into BDSM erotica I think this is the book to start with. When reading either side of the book you can definitely get a feel for the characters desires and needs. I have many favorites in this book so in short I believe this is a must read.

To be honest the stories within this book are very basic, they dont give much detail, nor is there anything other than a bit of spanking, and light bondage described.

Maybe i've become more hardcore but, in all honesty the stories to me were just very boring and vanilla. If your just buying it to get the free super saver shipping then it might be worth your time but there are plenty of other books that are in many ways worth your money more than this one....

This was my first adventure into this type of book. This book is a compilation of short storied, half from the bottom, and half from the top. I was mesmerized, and read the whole book in one sitting. It was an incredible adventure. I felt like I was a fly on the wall of "how the other side lives". I loved it, and I'm sure I will read it again.

I can see why other reviewers have said this book is not all that hardcore. If you like really really hard core stuff, this is probably not the book for you. I apparently can be entertained by lighter stuff too. I really like having stories from both perspectives. My boyfriend and I have read several of the stories together and it has sparked really interesting conversations as we consider each other's perspective.

Hot! A Page-Turner! Covers all kinds of styles, flavors, desires and kinks of Dominance and submission. The only thing hotter is if you are living the life style! For those curious, not sure, sitting on the fence.....this will be the deal breaker. Cause you either want more of it, want to join some club or group...... or too faint-hearted, not your cup of tea - and now you are sure.

This is a book that ErotoLit snobs will definitely love. There are stories that speak to the very deepest urges of a submissive as well as the highest urgency of a Top. The stories are for the most part well written and due to the mere volume of the set [60 stories in all] there is a story for every taste.

A few favorites are:

1.) Not Until Dawn by Marie Sudac from the Slave Edition
2.) Taking Dictation by N.T. Morley from the Master Edition

Literally, anyone from the lifestyle could pick up this book and find at least one story that they could relate to and that aroused them. As an editor N.T.'s acuteness of judgment in selecting the tales that he has is laudable. That being said there are some [no more than 5 or 6 in my opinion] stories that are more flash and boom than actually substantive. I feel that if I'm at a point of purchasing a collection of such stories then I want something of a higher caliber than what I can find on some tawdry website.

All in all, this collection is astoundingly well written and is good for those cold winter evenings or hot summer nights with [or without] your lover.

I love this book. I like seeing things from both sides and the stories are just fantastic. Some beginners, amateurs, and pros stories combined, which makes the idea of 'how it works' easy to grasp. For any level of kink your into you can find something in here to read.

i have the hard cover of this book , i bought in a book store .. read the back like everyone does it was of interest .. read a few more pgs n i just had to buy it.. i read the whole book and it was an arousing read for me.. and it had me wanting to maybe try some of the things i read about in the stories.. if you are new to this kind of book , then i really do recommend this book..!

Don't waste your time. The four good stories-at an average of three pages each-are not worth the money for this book. If you really feel like you HAVE to have it, buy a used copy, or find one to trade with someone!
