Hello All,
So...I'll admit it. I am a book whore. You won't find me anywhere without a novel somewhere in my over-sized purse, and I am starting to acquire quite a large collection. This, of course, includes my secret sexy collection of erotic fiction, nonfiction, instructional manuals, etc. Lord knows its HARD to find high quality erotic literature, especially of the bdsm variety, and I want to know if you all have any suggestions for myself and the forum, or even a book review or two. I'll start!!!!
The Shadowlands Series, by Cherise Sinclair: I bought the first three books (Club Shadowlands, Dark Citadel, and Breaking Free) and certainly plan on purchasing the rest at some point. I really enjoyed the character development. For me, the appeal of bdsm is the mental aspects involved, so I get a lot more out of an erotic story with well developed characters than I do from books with lots of sex, and very 2D characters. There were some very creative scenes that I really did enjoy, and the safety issues emphasized (safe words, condoms, etc.) made the book morally sound and educational. My only beef was that the books weren't quite as "dark" as I would of liked. The most adventurous any one character gets, in any one book, is a little anal. Additionally, the books all had a similar formula: Male Dom isn't ready to commit, finds sub with claws he gets attached to and can't help himself. There was also a LOT of exhibitionism, which is great for some people, but I'm not into exhibition so much. So, well written book, but a little formulaic and "soft core" as far as bdsm goes for my tastes.
