There is something very sexy about submission yet while it is not something that I find is right for me I still love reading about others who practice it. In this anthology we  a lot of opposites coming together and see that they are not so opposite after all.

In the nineteen stories here, we get an in-depth look at the world of BDSM and we become more aware of the diversity in the community. There are all kinds of story that show us that opposites do indeed attract. Allow me to quote the blurb:

“Imagine finding a partner who is just as naughty, kinky and dark as you are, a lover who wanders the hardware store with you in search of new ‘toys,’ a man who can wrangle both you and the dishes into submission, a woman who accompanies you to office parties and play parties. Think that heady combination of: sweet and sexy, dirty and romantic, love and leather. “Bound By Lust” is a romantic, couples-focused erotica with a BDSM slant. The couples range from newly blossoming relationships, long-time loves and reunited flames. BDSM aspect of this is both naughty and nice — bondage, spanking, domination, submission, power-play, pain and pleasure, or whatever your dirty mind can think of. Bring on the rope and rough stuff, the dens and dungeons, the corsets and clamps and cuffs. Romance can be a little rough and still have VERY happy endings”!

All of the stories are well written and among the authors we have Allison Wonderland, Dominic Santi, Niki Magennis and Craig Sorenson.
