Duries as the ultimate slave

I'd read Ties that Bind back in 1997 and never forgot it. Today, I'v read it again and find myself in awe of Ms.Duries devotion to both her Master and His/her lifestyle.I can say I found myself wondering about His love for her, as I believe Ms.Duries existed as nothing more than an object in her Master's eyes. We will never know since Vanessa Duries died in a car crash on Dec. 13, 1993. For the reader seeking BDSM erotica, I am certain Ties that Bind will not disappoint. For those interested in learning more about the BDSM lifestyle, this book reads as an autobiograpical novel and does not afford us any information to guide us through the often misunderstood corridors of BDSM.Ms.Duries surprises, shocks, and amazes the reader with her vivid depictions of weekend parties she attends with her Master, but at no time, from beginning to end does she ever bore us.
