This is a book full of many different short stories about
woman and their submission. Rachel Kramer Bussel does a
great job once again in bringing together so many stories
from so many different authors. If you enjoy this genre you
will definitely like this book. SURRENDER: EROTIC TALES OF
FEMALE PLEASURE AND SUBMISSION brings the reader over
twenty entertaining stories. With so many stories to read
there is bound to be one for everyone.
Although I have read some of the stories in this book
before, I did enjoy many of the new stories. A few had more
of an effect on me than others but I did enjoy this book
all the way through. Some of the stories that stood out for
me were the ones that showed the trust and love between the
main characters.
Without Eyes by Terri Pray is a good example of just that.
Susan and Tom have a wonderful relationship that only gets
better with the help of a blindfold. Susan trusts Tom and
shows him just how much she loves him and their
relationship.
Another story that stands out is The Royalton: A Daray Tale
by Tess Danesi. Dar and Tess are a couple who live a
different kind of life. On this night, Dar has decided to
give Tess what she has been longing for. This will be a
night that Tess will not forget for a long time to come.
She is blindfolded and enjoys the pleasures of two men.
She never knows just the identity of the second man who
joins the couple for their fun, but she has no qualms with
that and loves Dar for what he has given her.
While these two stories stood out for me, the rest of them
were just as good. I enjoyed being able to read a story or
two before going to bed or whenever I had a few minutes. It
was nice to be able to read a whole story at a time.
Sometimes that's all it takes to entertain a reader.
Rachel Kramer Bussel's bestselling books of submissive women
and dominant men showcase our fantasies, desires, and
deepest wishes. For those (and there are MANY) who love to
be tired up, spanked, blindfolded, bound, or "used," for
another's pleasure, these are books of inspiration. And, of
course, these smart subs are getting exactly what THEY
really want in very many ways. Good BDSM erotica makes us
understand all the emotions that can come into play when,
well, playing: there can be uncertainty, nervousness, fear,
excitement.
Each of the 22 stories in Surrender are blazingly hot and
because they illuminate some aspect of submission. The
authors of the stories understand the art of submission and
the thrill of surrender, whether that’s personal space,
sight (“Without Eyes” by Terri Pray) or culinary choices
(“Lunch” by Elizabeth Coldwell).What the women here want is
to give up part of themselves to gain something else. They
may still be skittish, but overcoming their fears,
surrendering to them, yields beauty, pleasure and, in its
way, power.
