I do

The exciting story of a modern couple who takes bondage as far as they can in their daily lives. Often funny and always erotic, the novel offers a series of amazing scenes, from a breathtaking bicycle ride to a bdsm "wedding" where presents include a leather hood and a whip.

Certainly had it's moments.

I found myself reading this book pretty quickly, because it was very entertaining, erotic and lots of fun. Some chapters tended to drag a bit through repitition, but most were arrousing. I particularly liked the chapters about the "soire", the wedding gift and the rape fantasy. I would recommend this if you're looking for a fun, easy, and erotic read. Note to the author for future stories (if any) - use the word "freak" less often. I mean really...

Real-life fantasy

Yes, I enjoy books like The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty and Exit to Eden, but I much prefer even my fantasies to have a bit more realism in them. I want to be able to truly believe that they _could_ happen to me. This book was PERFECT for that. I also like that the author makes it clear that D/s does not necessarily mean the same thing as S/M! AND that the main character does not spend ALL of her time in the throes of ecstasy. She states that it's simply all she's sharing in the book since everyone knows what normal day-to-day activities are like. Overall, the best erotica I've read so far.

A nice sense of humor, combined with a clear view of B & D

I liked The Passive Voice very much, read it twice. The author is an englishwoman with a sense of humor who is very much into B & D,and offers herself as a present to her boyfriend. Shortly the focus expands to her/their circle of friends. Very sexy, as much because of what goes on between the ears as elsewhere. Real insights on what it's like to welcome bondage, and get more than you ask for. One of the famed John Willie's bondage and discipline situations is borrowed here (and improved on.) As a bonus, it's very well written.

A classic in its genre!

If you want good descriptive bondage as seen through the submissive's eyes, then this is the book for you. The author creates a great sense of anticipation for what is to come.
