review 1: An author who faithfully allows each character their true voice...I'm a huge Kitty Thomas fan, she is a definite one click author for me--since I became acquainted with the novel comfort food. You should know going into this read that it is done on the premise of fantasy; therefore in order to enjoy this book you are going to have to be a reader who can allow your imagination to go with the flow of the author's intent. The book covers the lifestyle and behaviors of those who practice BDSM. It covers things like dominance, submission, degradation, and even the occasional mind !@#$%.If you are someone who can enjoy allowing your imagination to give way to fantasy, then I have no doubt that you will enjoy this read. One of the things that I respect about this author is that s... morehe gives voice to her characters rather than giving in to popular opinion. Though this isn't a dark read like her book 'Comfort food,' it is a read in which the Doms can be rather brusque and at times even come off as mean; or such was the case in the last short story. In my humble opinion this did not detour from the story line; it was only a case of Ms. Thomas giving her character voice and allowing him to be his true self. I will say that when you get a book by this author, you get quality and you get the true essence of each and every character within it's pages.Ms. Thomas is and will remain a one click author for me, as her talent speaks for itself.
review 2: A compilation of three short works, Kitty Thomas’ ‘The Auction’, ‘Awakening’, and ‘The King’s Pleasure’, uses three different settings to portray women in submissive roles.‘The Auction’ is a sci-fi story about Annabelle whose time it is to be auctioned off; a custom that all women go through. To the horror and morbid fascination of all the on-looking town’s people, Annabelle is purchased, not by one of the young men of the town, but one of the natives of the planet. ‘Awakening’ is an erotic twist on the legend of mermaids. In this novella, legend says that if you can capture a mermaid and seduce her into the world of sexual pleasure, then her fin will be replaced with legs and she will be yours forever. When the mermaid Nerina gets swept up in a net and up onto a ship, she doesn’t believe the legends. But the determined gaze of the captain and the possessive touch of his hands lead her to begin feeling strange things…‘The King’s Pleasure’ is the classic story of a beautiful young woman falling on hard times. Forced into a life of thievery to feed herself and her family, Abigail makes the desperate mistake of trying to steal from the King. Entranced by her beauty, the King takes her into his harem instead of maiming her for stealing. As his slave she is at the whim of the King to be used for his pleasure and the debauchery of the hedonistic court. The only complaint this reader has is that each novella was too short. Kitty Thomas wove such intriguing settings that this reader was completely absorbed. Each novel ends abruptly, almost as if the author was trying to quickly wrap things up. If you’re going to write a short story then please at least take the time to tie it up neatly. Aside from that, they were well-written novella’s and gave this reader almost everything she could want out of an erotica novel. Creatively interlacing eroticism and sensuality into classical stories is a cocktail I wish more authors would come up with instead of mistaking crude for erotic, or trying to rewrite ‘50 Shades of Grey’.Each of these unique stories is laden with eroticism. The title explains the underlying theme of submission in the book. There are elements of all types in this book, BDSM, exhibitionism, group play, etc. but the eroticism in this book really lies in the exchange of power play. All three women find themselves in positions where they have to submit to the will of a strange man. Helpless to the ministrations of the men mastering their bodies, each woman has to accept and embrace the dark yearnings inside. Both the classical settings and the integral submission of each heroine creates the perfect fantasy. Are there dark feelings in every woman begging to be set free from societal confines? Feminism might argue otherwise. less
