A Well Trained Pup - Book Review

Finding erotica on the subject of puppy-play is rare. Which is why I wish I could give this book a great review. Unfortunately it just wasn't that good. The story is a typical one-sided love affair, where one person is willing to do anything to please the other, while the other really doesn't love them back or appreciate their servitude.

Pup is wonderful as a she-puppy and there are several excellent scenes of puppy-play including sex with other puppies and even a kitten. Pup is sexually used by several masters which should make for an excting story: But the lack of a love-connection left me wanting. "E", her master, is more interested in her training then her as a person. He continually loans her out in preparation for the day can sell her to the highest bidder.

Not a bad book for people into or interested in puppy play - but not a great book on its own merit.

The Art of Surrender - Book review

I'm disappointed in this book because it had tremendous potential and failed to live up to it. The premise of the story is two very strong and experienced dominants fall in love and begin a battle of wits to determine who will top the other.

The book opens strong with Jude and Michael separately in very hot BDSM scenes: Whipping, spanking, bondage, orgasm denial. The sexual tension between the two of them grows with each meeting as each expects the other to submit.

I was expecting, maybe they might take turns - switching roles. But then at page 100 Michael is so overcome with lust for Jude that he unconditionally surrenders. Instantly he's being whipped, sodomized, cross-dressing, sucking another man's cock in an alley, wearing a chastity device and being totally humiliated - It was totally unbelievable to me.

His total role reversal was completely absurd. He becomes her total slave while she maintains all her freedom, including multiple lovers. The descriptions of his total dominace and charisma at the opening of the books makes this impossible. I would have thrown the book away but I kept deluding myself that it would end differently.
