You Won't Be Sorry

(Previously published by Masquerade as Sarah's Surrender) The new title for this book seems more accurate. It's a story about a voluptuous, strong-willed and independent young woman. That's not so unusual, but Sarah has a special fantasy. Her "...most private dreams were filled with perfumed women in silks and chains, used and adored by their Masters." She wants to be one of these women. Sarah's tentative excursions into the D/s world eventually lead her to Lawrence, a wealthy man who runs a "BDSM boot camp." Lawrence claims he can train her to be "a slave of the caliber that will allow access to the finest Masters available." It's free, so what does she have to lose? The training requires two weeks, and brings fresh, new meanings to the term, "on-the-job training." If you're a BDSM rookie like me this book will educate you while it's heating your blood. If you're an old hand, you'll still get rosy cheeks, and you might just learn something new to boot. For that alone, this book is a Good Thing. However, it isn't just your father's standard BDSM novel. You see, there's a dark place in Lawrence's past, a hidden secret. But you'll have to buy the book to find out about that. And that's what you should do. You won't be sorry.

D/s Love Story

This is a sweet and sexy exploration of sexual submission. It's a classic tale of sexual awakening - an innocent young woman begins a search for sexual fulfillment, daring to follow a dream of sexual slavery and submission. She has a lot of false starts with 'wannabe' Doms and bully boys, including a harrowing rape scene, but then she gets a stint with a 'trainer' who agrees to take her on and teach her to be a slave and total submissive. Enter the love story. It's a classic romance, with all the confusion and mixed signals of a good gothic romance, but with a heavy and very satisfying sexual overlay. A lovely work. Read it. Then read Claire's later stuff to see how she has evolved as an author.

A really good story

I really liked this story (although not as much as her Black Lace book, Hard Corps). My only complaint is the transition from clubbing to making D/s her whole life was a little too quick, and the story telling style seemed to change mid-stream. All in all, though, this was a much better book than most.
