A Great Anthology

There are many chat up lines doomed to failure: My buddy says you're easy. I write erotica: wanna help me research? I've never dated someone who's really fat. This is the first time I've ever approached an ugly girl. But, perhaps one of the hardest things to broach at the beginning of a relationship is an interest in BDSM. One could admire the honesty of someone whose opening gambit is: "Hi gorgeous. Wanna wear nipple clamps?" But the chances of that line ever meeting success are, sadly, negligible. Yet even in the hardcore hardboiled world of BDSM aficionados, romance does flourish. And, although the odds are set against them, many couples who enjoy a consensual kinky twist to their adult fun do meet and form loving relationships. Bound to Love is a collection of romantic BDSM erotic stories that shows romance and rope burns are not always elements from exclusive domains. It is possible to be in a caring and compassionate relationship and still bind, brand and bugger your beloved. Maria Isabel Pita is an accomplished author with many titles to her credit. Aside from Recipe for Romance (the erotic cookbook) and The Story of M (a memoir) she has seems happiest writing tales of love, blending them easily with the fiery passion that lends realism to the traditional tale of romance. With Bound to Love she has collected stories from some of the genre's most knowledgeable storytellers of BDSM relationships. Marilyn Jaye Lewis, Brooke Stern, Jonathan Marchant and NT Morley are among the many established names who swell this collection into something above and beyond the ordinary. Each author tackles the subject matter with their own distinctive style, bringing fresh insight into the balance of relationships where love and lashes are gladly given and gratefully received. For those outside the world of BDSM it is hard to understand the fine balance between devotion and discipline. It's true that most of us have sung along to the lyrics of "Love Hurts" but not many people would argue that Roy Orbison was singing about freshly spanked buttocks. Even those within the world of BDSM are not immune to moments of doubt and puzzlement as they try to rationalise the confusing equation where happiness can come from the swish of a riding crop. Rather than being a collection of McSpanking stories each writer in this anthology has worked hard to create three dimensional characters who are driven by desires that break the regular societal taboos. The compassion, depth and intelligence are blended with credibility, insight and (of course) eroticism. Bound to Love is an articulate and arousing collection of stories. The anthology deals with the many dichotomies that are borne in a relationship where flowers and flagellation take equal place as tokens of affection. If you like your BDSM intelligent, erotic and romantic, you're bound to love Bound to Love. Ashley Lister

Finally a readable BDSM book ...... for all of us

If you are the kind of reader that looks for BDSM books where a young girl invariably gets trussed, clamped and then has the living daylights beat out of her. this is NOT the book for you... but .... if you enjoy contemporary erotica of amuch gentler tome where the bondage is in many cases more 'perceived' or mental, then this IS the book for you. Edited by Maria Isabel Pita, one of my favorite erotica authors this book contains nine short stories, eight of which are by new authors whose writings certainly stand well above the crowd. In 'Summerhouse' by author Johnathan Marchant, one of my two favorite stories, our heroine, a young, agressive, take no prisoners, city lawyer is called back to her summer house in the woods to check for storm damages to her roof. Being too busy for any kind of real social life she explores her deepest hidden erotic fantasies as she prepares to meet the builder whom she hasn't seen for over a year. It's in these fabulously erotic dreams and hidden desires that the author shows us that the bondage doesn't necessary have to be ONLY physical but that we are all one way or another trussed by our erotic secrets. The other story, 'Necessary To Her Good' by author Marilyn Jay Lewis, after a furtive three page start that I found strange, the author hits her stride when Elisa recounts her story of total submission to her deepest darkest dreams at the hands and .. well you know what I mean .. of Armand. This story is so hot it's worth the price of the book alone ... It's most certainly great books like this that remind us that the greatest erotice is in the mind of the reader ...
