These fifteen stories are crafted for an inspiring, up-beat read, though some behinds-of both genders-end up on the tender side. The language and manners are upscale, romantic, and sexy, with never a hint of vulgarity. Share the experience of an over-the-knee spanking, or being helplessly strapped to a spanking bench, after years of dreaming of and longing for such a BDSM experience. The characters in are incredibly varied in many ways, though they all have one important thing in common-their kink. From high-powered professionals and feisty professors to the carefree young, they stumble into-or seek out-the exhilaration or strange sense of satisfaction that the paddle, hairbrush, or hand can provide. The encounters in this titillating text are unexpectedly erotic and humorous and may stimulate some sensitive parts of one's anatomy. But don't be surprised if they also stimulate parts above the waistline, as twists and turns delight the reader. The characters are lovingly created, and the plots (including a tear-jerking 'war' story) are wildly diverse. Livenmore's writing is as sincere and satirical as it is sexy, as it explores the emotional and romantic elements that are often overlooked in books catering simply to sexual interests-so, your heart is in for an eye-opening journey.
