Sting Factor (kink): 3 out of 5

Mixing work with pleasure never seemed so sexy as when Kathy agreed to her boss, Ross Guerrero’s harebrained scheme. Kathy Belmont is twenty nine with a few years under her belt as a law enforcement officer. She currently works for a secret US agency. Their current mission is to cross the Mexican border and destroy El Silencio’s drug fortress. Ross’s plan is to get them into the drug lord’s home through a sex party invite. The catch – Kathy will need to go in as a sex slave. This would be a sex slave to her uber sexy boss, Ross.

The premise of this story and some of the BDSM scenes need a heavy dose in suspending reality. The short story is on the edge of unbelievable cheesy territory. The predictable sexual fantasies of a young woman for her older male boss are trotted out. Her lust to submit to him in delicious deviant ways is amusing and smexy. One particular noteworthy desire involves a dildo, lube and her slutty asshole.

The submissive training Ross gives Kathy is a joke. It’s more like a horny sex starved high school boy prematurely ejaculating all over his date. This is clearly not an experienced Dom who knows how to train a newbie submissive. Still, the sex scenes are hawt as well as the non-negotiated permanent mark. The other BDSM clichés make a presence in the drug lord’s home. Between the threats of breaking a disobedient slave and a psychotic Dominatrix, it’s all good fun.

Interview with Sue Swift/Suz deMello and giveaway

Below is our interview with Sue Swift/Suz deMello. Be sure to leave a comment and be eligible to win an e book from either pen name backlist.

1. When you first started writing, did you have any idea you’d be writing BDSM/kinky books? Do you write in any other genre?

Writing BDSM didn’t occur to me when I was writing “straight” romance, but as soon as I branched out into erotic romance, I promptly wrote a BDSM novel. BDSM has always intrigued me.

2. Do you use a pen name? If yes (or no), why?

I do. I write “straight” stories as Sue Swift, and erotic romance as Suz deMello. I enjoy having alternate identities, and the two names lets readers know what kind of story to expect.

3. Are you actively involved in BDSM? If so how do you identify yourself? Dom(me)/sub? Top/bottom? Switch?

LOL… I wish my life included anything resembling sex, but at the moment I’m taking care of my 82 y-o mom, who has Alzheimer’s. When I’m sexually active, I notice that I have a little bit of both top and bottom in me. I want what I want, but sometimes that includes being tied up and allowing a partner I trust and want to have his wicked way with me

4. At what point did you decide you wanted to write BDSM/kinky-themed erotica?

When I ventured out of “straight” romance and into more erotic fiction, I instantly gravitated to BDSM.

5. Was there something that happened to you in your life or career that made you want to begin thinking about writing BDSM/kinky-themed erotica?

My career seemed to be at a standstill and I decided to shake up the writing

In order to find a missing woman, Detective Liz Bowman hands herself over to notorious gangster and whore master James Li. She makes a bargain with him: she gives herself to him until the end of the week, he tells her what she knows. Li is ravenously sexual with some . . . interesting needs. He also employs some unorthodox methods of keeping his new sex slave in line.

It’s a simple, solid plot with opportunities for lots of smoldering, kinky sex that ought to have been rocket fuel. It just didn’t ignite anything but the fires of smoldering rage. We’ll get to that, but first, I really want to talk about what it did well.

First, kudos for Ms. de Mello for writing a book with a biracial lead and an Asian love interest. There isn’t enough variety in the genre, so this made me really happy. There were, in fact, very few white characters in the book at all. Refreshing.

There’s a lot of kinky sex here – lots of anal, some mild breast and clit torture, a little fun with a riding crop, a little spanking,some group fucking, a little bondage, some blindfolding, and a lot of being controlled and treated like a sex object. She also works in a little figging, which, despite its non-euphonious name, is always a nice surprise. (Figging, in case you have never looked into it, is applying raw, peeled ginger root to some of the more . . . sensitive parts of the anatomy, and it’s great stuff.) As far as the BDSM stuff goes, de Mello is really quite creative, and the kinky bits are never repetitive. I liked what was happening, even if the writing wasn’t great line by line.
