Shaun's rating:
This is a terrific collection of four short stories: Rebellious Slave, Solomon's Secret, Subspace, and Laocoon. I'm not going to discuss the individual stories, but I will say that all feature female dominants and male submissives. These stories tend toward the edgier side of bdsm and may be a bit extreme for some readers. However, if you like things a bit edgy this collection is fantastic.
Billierosie manages to masterfully set the scenes and develop the characters here, something that is not easy to do with such short stories. Something that I really enjoyed about these characters was that the women, while they could be cruel, were not mean spirited. The women liked and valued the submissive men. Yes the women could be cruel, they caused the men to suffer, but it was not out of maliciousness instead it was about the give and take of energy exchange and the blurred lines of pain/pleasure.
As I mentioned above the erotic scenes are a bit edgy, they are also scorching hot.
I did notice a few small editing problems, an extra word or quotation mark, but they were few and far between and did not interfere with the flow of the story.
For femdom fans who like things leaning a bit to the extreme I highly recommend Dommes & Submissives. I'm giving this book four and one half out of five paddles.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Well said, hon! I will be reviewing it this week, so hopefully I enjoy it as much as you did. :)
