Review:

Olivia London’s Naughty Girl Notebook doesn’t really fit into the genres that are reviewed on this site. Basically it is a tale about the budding romance between a waitress and a teacher. The kinkiest part of the book is a fantasy the waitress has while masturbating after their first date, in which she imagines a scenario that involves a little spanking and forced oral and anal sex. Even that is mostly alluded to rather than shown in any detail. The next kinkiest scene: while at a restaurant she is instructed to visit the restroom and remove her panties then return to the table – oo-la-la!

The overall tone of the story is romantic and kind of chatty, with British sensibilities. Although the setting is Seattle, judging by the idiomatic expressions and phrasing the writer seems to be from the UK. The significance of the title’s naughty girl notebook is, as a motivational tool the waitress chronicles her bad behavior at work in a spiral notebook with a picture of her lover clipped to the inside flap. She envisions herself as a Pygmalion-like character because of her lack of education and social sophistication, and sets out to better herself and be worthy of the teacher’s love.

Doubtless I am not the target audience for Naughty Girl Notebook. Although this short story – at 17 pages I hesitate to call it a book – is well written, I did not find it particularly engaging. And since the kink is almost nonexistent, I am thankful of its brevity – this is after all a site devoted to reviewing BDSM-related books, which it is not.

Jilly’s New Neighbors by Tina Clark

ISBN # 9781782341482

Story Rating: 3 out of 5 paddles

Sting Factor (kink): 1 out of 5

While there are plenty of hot descriptions of the sexual kind it seems as though this author wanted this character to be a bit too naive for her own good.

Jilly is a sexually frustrated woman. She runs everyday but doesn’t seem to have anyone to call her own. She spots her new neighbors and from there the fun insues.

Ok, this book is not that long, so I am not expecting major chacter development. Whar I got from Jilly was she needed a fix and she got it. I suppose if this was a hook to get me to read more by this author I would not. I have read much better, hotter BDSM novellas.

This would be for people that enjoy fun, flirty erotica. I enjoy things a bit more hardcore. Take note my rating is not because the writing was poor but really because the type of BDSM written was not for me.

Review:

Kay Jaybee is a prolific author of considerable renown who specializes in writing kinky books and short stories. Her latest collection of three short erotic stories, Tied to the Kitchen Sink, is an exercise in fanciful erotica with D/s overtones that will please both her current and future fans. None of the vignettes in this slim volume are meant to mirror real life, but by no means does that stop them from being sexy and enjoyable reads.

The title story involves a young man coming home to find a naked woman chained to his kitchen sink, a birthday present from his roommate, who is discreetly absent. For reasons not adequately explained, this scenario is one of his favorite fantasies and sort of dovetails into the woman’s as well. Before this very short story concludes there is a bit of spanking with a wooden spoon and the suggestion that some sort of waxing fun will be in the offing.

Next up is Becky, a story that portrays an outrageously depraved work environment, in which a strict disciplinarian boss rules his employees through corporal punishment and sexual humiliation. Even for times prior to sexual harassment laws, this scenario is way over the top, yet as a fantasy it is powerfully erotic. Whereas it is not really possible to suspend disbelief while reading this story, it is easy to be aroused by the actions taking place in it.

Synopsis:

There’s good and evil in everyone, even those who play sex games at the Plaza. But sometimes the lines get blurred and it takes an encounter near the edge to discover what’s real and if there’s such a thing as right and wrong.

Review:

In essence this is a story about Luke and Maya told through four different intersecting stories:

Plaza Erotica – this story is mostly from Maya’s point of view as she prepares for a rendezvous with Luke.

A Dream Come True – here we learn about how our characters meet for the first time. The language in both stories is difficult to get through and distracts from the stories. We learn that they had a relationship for a time and that she ended it because he became to controlling. While we do learn more about the characters here (and finally their first names!) I still didn’t feel any real connection to them. It was as if they were just vague figures that someone was discussing, as if you were listening to two friends talking about people you didn’t know.

Birds and Bees – suddenly we see a glimmer of hope, writing that is both descriptive and tells us a story, teasing us just enough so we want more. We find ourselves in the present watching the characters interact with each other instead of hearing about it afterwards as we do in the first two stories. A friend of Maya’s named Wendy (aka Blondie) enters the story and the two play together then meet up with Luke.

Blondie – a very short interlude where we meet Wendy again and follow her through a scene with another couple, and then again with Luke and Maya.

Review: Her Journey Into Submission by Brenton Darke

Her Journey Into Submission by Brenton Darke

Review:

After reading the first chapter of Brenton Darke’s Her Journey Into Submission I was struggling to be objective as a reviewer because it is written well enough but it is way too prosaic for my tastes, plus lamentably the author chose to employ the dreaded capitalizing pronouns for masters convention, which I find extremely tiresome. Even so, being obligated to read the whole thing and be fair, I plunged ahead ever hopeful that it would get better and, miraculously, it did.

Realistically, at twenty-one pages this is a short story rather than a book. As the title implies, it is a tale about a novice sub entering the BDSM realm. The first chapter is an idealized dramatization of the dance that leads up to a newbie sub and her prospective Dom building a relationship and trust before embarking on her inaugural scene. I can only speculate that the target audience for this theme is comprised of sub-curious or wannabe sub women, certainly not experienced kinksters.

The second and final chapter involves the same characters a little further on in their relationship, and this time they are branching out into an elaborate and imaginative role play scenario that concludes with some fairly intense and erotic corporal punishment. So the aforementioned targeted consumers are treated to a little more advanced view of BDSM fun and games in a fun and positive light. More sophisticated readers can skip or skim over the introduction and enjoy the finale as a standalone short story. In either case, there’s no plot to speak of, but that is often the case with erotica, regardless of how well or poorly it is written.

Story rating – 3.5 out of 5 paddles

Sting Factor (kink): 3.5 out of 5

The main thing that BDSM erotica fans should know about Victoria Blissee’s Fulfill Me is that it is primarily a romantic erotic book, which happens to have segments featuring femdom scenarios and a little naughty spanking. The femdom elements of the story transpire when the main character, in an attempt to reel-in the man of her dreams, whom she has lusted after and stalked for years, postures as a mistress and succeeds at fulfilling his fantasies but not her own.

Ultimately she gets bored with his need for a D/s only sexual relationship and kicks him to the curb. From there she finally hooks up with Mr. Right – not vanilla exactly but not into BDSM – and, after almost losing him, appears to be headed for happily ever after by the end of the book. This is not the sort of book I would gravitate to, but it is fairly well written. The story is told in a chatty style from the prospective of a British woman in her late twenties. It has a coherent plot, well-rounded characters and lots of steamy sex – almost too much actually.

Two short stories;

EIGHT MAIDS A MILKING

A harem fantasy rife with purple prose. I would categorize this as erotic with an emphasis on a milking fetish. It is filled with elaborate descriptions of the salacious adventures of a captured commander. Lord Goldtop manages to soldier through the requirements of the Sultan and his wives. Fluffy and fun with a colonial tone, but the excessive use of adjectives distracted me.

THE CAPTAIN AND THE MILKMAID

Nautical misadventures and a secret identity allow Humility to witness the play of her fellow shipmates. Oddities like swabbing the deck in a gale fueled rain make the reader go—say what? Needless to say, there is a price to pay when the captain discovers her subterfuge and he has a taste for fresh milk.

Synopsis:

Pete and Samantha’s Guide To Seasonal Sex – your one stop shop for everything you want to know about seasonal adult activities. As well as spring themed erotic stories, and seasonal adult articles!

This is THE guide you need to read, whether you are a girl, a boy, or both! Written by the world renowned erotic writer Peter Birch, Samantha J Hall, with editing by erotic author Nicky Raven, this new quarterly seasonal adult guide is sure to enlighten, amaze and entertain you through the fresh spring months.

Review:

I was not sure what to expect when I picked up this book, well I’d call it something more like a periodical. The focus of this “book” is Summer and there are 4 articles and 2 short stories:

Article #1 “Social Nudity: Fetish, Fantasy Or Lifestyle?” focused on the subject of nudity and what it meant to different people, why some people are nudists, and what they get from being nude. Overall it was a good article, a little long and dull in places, but interesting.

Story “Confirmed Sighting” – a man with a camera on a bluff and 2 young girls nude sunbathing on a private beach below.

Article #2 “Sweat Baby, Sweat” dealt with sweat – what it really means to us as humans and as a fetish was actually pretty interesting to me. While this is not a fetish that particularly appeals to me in the extreme, we all are attracted to other people based on scent in one form or another. I found it intriguing to read about what attracts people to it.

Story Rating: 3 out of 5 paddles

Sting Factor (kink): 3 out of 5

From fetishistic and rough, to sapphic or sweet, this anthology of eight hand-picked dirty stories spans the whole erotica range.

If stories of frantic, sensual lovemaking excite you, Lapiz Lazuli is guaranteed to grab your attention. These short stories explore the sensual delights of sex; whether it is a quick romp in a hallway, the caress of a razor blade, the helpless sensation of rough sex or a furtive public holiday experience, arousing accounts and unabashed tales of kinky sex await!

Review:

There are eight short stories in this collection that is about 50pages. Each story is so unique that you will find something that tickles your fancy. The stories range from slap and tickle to some more intense BDSM scenes, from straight sex to f/f encounters making it perfect for people who just want a little taste of something.

It is sad to say that none of these stories really stand out or are memorable – but none of them will make just skim the pages either. There is enough variety to satisfy every appetite. These are perfect little teasers for a sexy night at home with a partner or just a short read while curled up in bed. Leigh Clark presents a nice collection of her work that is enough of a teaser to entice you into picking up more of her work. Lapiz Lazuli will give you a little taste of a bigger picture, while there isn’t time to get invested in any of the characters; sometimes short and sweet is just what a person needs. For that,Lapiz Lazuli delivers.

Blurb:

Risky, sexy, exciting, these two sensual stories of sex in public will make your heart race with the danger of it all. Join one couple as they celebrate their two-year anniversary by exploring the erotic thrills of spontaneous sex in a retail store dressing room. Then follow two good friends as they finally express romantic feelings for one another on a drive home after dinner and then share a passionate encounter in a rest stop bathroom.

Review:

This is a very short collection of two stories which both focus around exhibitionist activities and scenes. Both stories don’t let you get any sort of connection to the characters and are actually very much “wham, bam, thank you Ma’am” ending just as quickly as they started. While perhaps there are folks out there who want to read a very quick story about fucking in a store dressing room or a road side bathroom, I am not one of them. And as far as BDSM and kink there was really none to speak of.
