It's a shame I have to go to the dirty cellar that is non-consent erotica to find D/s with actual degradation and S/M with real pain and beatings, but I guess I should be glad I can find it at all.This one had the whole shebang: humiliation, forniphilia, piss play, whips, canes, suspension, piercing, branding, rape, sodomy, and a cage in a dark closet. The emotion didn't blow my hair back or anything, but the characterization and phychology behind the characters' actions and reactions was above average. Thompson does well at showing us a believable dynamic, even if it's not a terribly healthy one.Not a romance, by any means, but good erotic fiction that pulls no punches.
