I’ve reviewed protocol based books here before but this one is far more unique than those read previously. Protocols isn’t just a book about protocols, it’s a handbook written from one Dominant to his slave. These are the actual orders and behaviors he expects out of his slave. While it reads like a handbook you [...]

Adventures in the dating sphere should come with a manual; especially if you are kinky. The Kinky Girl’s Guide to Dating by Luna Grey is a perfect compliment to the novice submissive trying to find their way through dating and first experiences in BDSM. The usual dating rules don’t apply to kinky situations and this [...]

This month I dived into a book full of controversy with its approach to living intimately with your husband (or partner). I read The Surrendered Wife by Laura Doyle. I didn’t read it to find the reason for the argument between feminists and the author of the book’s ideas. I read it to see what [...]

When I first read this book I was [...]

This month’s book review is of one of the books I gave away in the July Book Contest. The New Bottoming Book by Dossie Easton and Janet W.
