About The Book:

Dominated: Jacqueline dominates her world, all day, every day. When she takes her friend to a fetish club, everyone expects her to be in control. Ethan, the owner of the club, has no time for anything other than work. When Jacqueline stumbles into his office by mistake, however, he teaches her the sensual pleasure which can only come from being dominated.

Fallen: Straitlaced Mandy never does anything wild. She's never even had an orgasm, but when friends take her to a fetish club to celebrate her twenty-fifth birthday, all that will change. Peter may be a buttoned-down market analyst, but he'll show Mandy that corporate and wild can mix very well.

The Review: These were two part of a four part series of short stories. The two stories I read had the exact same first chapter. It threw me off at first, but the rest of the chapters more than made up for the repetition. 

Dominated features a submissive woman who finds a hot evening with a male Dom. They don’t know one another beforehand, and they do end it with the promise of a maybe. Ms. Delany does a nice job heating up the place with a hot encounter between strangers. The reader doesn’t need this to develop into something more because this is about Jacqueline finding some bliss. It was a short read, very erotic and very well done.

In Fallen, Ms. Delany did an excellent job of bringing the reader into a fantasy world they may never want to leave. Mandy and Peter are in costume. Neither of them are themselves, and that gives them the freedom to act out a fantasy that will make the reader need a cold shower, a warm body, or a favorite toy afterward. The build-up in Fallen was even better than the rising action in Dominated. I do wish I had the first and fourth stories in the series to make this a complete experience. Luckily, each story is complete and fulfilling. I highly recommend these if you want a high-quality quickie.

Pagan Elements: It’s a little bit of a stretch, but Fallen centers on a scenario where the guy is dressed up like Pan and the woman is dressed up like an angel. It’s more of a role play, completely not meaningful in a Pagan context.

Cover (Rated 1-10): 8- The covers let you know exactly what you’re getting into. They’re attractive and hot.

The Book:

Tonya is hot, wet, and ready to get kinky. She convinces a shy friend to go to a fetish club for her birthday, and it seems like the perfect place to let her wild side run free.

Liam likes to watch, but when he sees the raven-haired beauty, he follows her through the club, ready to oblige her lustful needs. She is sure that a man like him is not the foreplay type. Boy, is she wrong.

The Review:

This is a very short read, and once I got started, it was even shorter because I read so fast. The story begins with three twenty-somethings getting ready for a night out at a fetish club to celebrate one of their birthdays. I’ve never been to a fetish club, and I don’t really even know if they actually exist, but I’m sure they must. The girls are dressed up like it’s Halloween, and I don’t know if this is common fetish club couture or not, but the clothing doesn’t last long anyway.

The first chapter is a little on the silly side and I was afraid I wasn’t going to like the rest of the story, but hold on to your hat! First of all, the things going on inside this club are probably illegal in every southern state, and maybe even some northern ones. Secondly, the things going on inside this club are hot, and come chapter three they get even hotter. Sex written like this will arouse, titillate, thrill, and turn on anyone no matter the condition of their libido. What I liked best about this story was the no commitment stranger sex that allowed the women to walk away when it was over with no HEA or HFN endings, although they were completely satisfied when they left the club.

What I didn’t like, and I know it’s going to seem like I’m nit-picking here, but it did draw me away from the frenzied state my libido was enjoying. Although correct, the author's use of "blond" and "blonde" was distracting, given that the spelling here in the U.S. is generally used one way or the other.

Also, in the first chapter when the women are getting ready for their night out, the author talks about the reason for the night out as a birthday celebration for Mandy, who is turning twenty-five. This conversation goes on about Mandy being uptight, in need of having a good orgasm, and the other two conspire to leave her alone by splitting up when they arrive at the club so she can’t hide behind them, thus, forcing her to mingle. When they arrive at the club, they do split up but it’s Tonya who gets all the action and Jacqueline and Mandy aren’t seen again until they end of the story and they are all comparing notes and heading home.

Over all, this is a good way to spend a few minutes alone, or to get revved up for something more waiting for you in your own bedroom.

Pagan Elements: None

Cover Art Rating: 8-I liked the cover, it gave me the impression that this would be a hot story, and it was. I would definitely pick it up to flip through it if I had seen it on the shelf.
