Caught Looking
This collection of short erotic stories are fantastic. They really unleash that desire to either be a voyeur or an exhibitionist. There is quite the variety within the stories and they are written from different viewpoints. This is not a book that you will get easily bored with or want to put down.
Pros
Stories are well written and sexy.
Cons
None.

A beautiful collection of voyeuristic fantasies for those nights when the shades are drawn (but not too tight), the lights are low (but it's not too dark), and your imagination knows no bounds.
Pros
Really makes you wish you had some binoculars
Cons
Could use a tighter focus

The erotic anthology Caught Looking, edited by both Alison Tyler and Rachel Kramer Bussel, is an amazing collection of 20 stories about voyeurism and exhibitionism in various sexy situations. They are all equally good and very erotic. Seriously, it was hard putting it down.
Pros
Original and erotic stories, equal mix of exhibitionism and voyeurism
Cons
I want more!

Oh yes, that one right there. No, over a little. Ya, there. When did you get that? But seriously though, if you've ever had the voyeur/exhibitionist fetish, this book is definitely well worth the money. If you want more same sex stories, you'll have to look elsewhere, but all these stories are pretty awesome.
Pros
Lots of great stories
Cons
A few fail to capture full audience attention
Rating:
Published:November 11, 2010
If you get off on watching, or being watched, sex with the possibility of being seen, or sex so hot you don't care if the world sees, then you need to read this anthology. There very few duds, and a lot of great fantasy-fuelers.
Pros
There's a theme, but it has a wide range of appeal.
Cons
A couple stories have been previously published elsewhere.

While this book won't make you become a roaring lioness overnight, it'll certainly help get you there, while helping you let go of most of your hangups that may be holding you back.

Cons
Non-discreet cover

This is a good book for women trying to think of ideas to become that Domme he has asked for so many times. You get five classic styles and expectations, and many techniques to use. However, the writing isn't captivating.

If you are a woman (or have a man) who is interested in female domination, but are not sure where to begin, then this book is what you've been looking for. You don't even have to read the entire thing if you don't want; it's organized in such a way that you can immediately flip to the chapter or chapters of your interest and begin learning almost immediately.
Pros
Small in size, nice in quality, very informative and inspirational.
Cons
soft cover, no defined way to follow the chapters, wish there were more example fantasies.

Beladonna: Fetish Fanatic 3
Aside from the opener, this collection of somewhat fetsih oriented scenes scored slightly above average on my scale. If the lighting and make up were tightened up a little, it woud have made for a real wild ride.

Beauty's Release
This is absolutely my favorite book in the trilogy. Anne Rice is a favorite of mine, but she lost me on book two. She redeemed herself in my eyes with this one. It is more compelling in both the sexual experience and the growth of the characters involved.
Pros
Characters have much more depth this time.
Scenes are more unexpected than in previous books.
Cons
Ending was a little too fairy tale-ish.
Rating:
Published:June 17, 2012
If you have already read the first two segments of this story, then you absolutely have to finish it. Both of the first novels leave you with a cliffhanger, and this one finally completes the journey. The ending was not what I expected and was slightly disappointing, but it was still a great read. Anne Rice does her job delivering kinky BDSM throughout the story yet again.
Pros
Erotic, well written, brings closure to the trilogy
Cons
Very graphic, contains female genital mutilation, disappointing ending

Does Beauty ever get married? Does Laurent get to be a pony for years? Does Nicolas get back his most precious slave? All of these questions are answered in the third and final book.

This wraps up Beauty's half assed saga. If you somehow got trapped into thinking the first two books would lead into something decent to end with, you're in for the saddest shock of your life. If you do pick up this series, try not to give it too much energy or else you WILL be let down.

Screw The Roses, Send Me the Thorns
Screw the Roses, Send Me Thorns is a great resource for anyone interested in pain play or kink. The book explains how to get started while emphasizing safety and consent.

This book could basically be a home-study course in BDSM. Really. It have EVERYTHING you need to know about BDSM. Philosophy, gear, technique, etiquette, anatomy, safety, everything. It's all here. The authors are true experts on everything included in the book and manage to keep it witty, humorous and entertaining through the whole thing. If you're a kinkster and you don't have this book you're crazy. I'd give it 7,342 stars if I could.
Pros
Super educational, witty, wonderful diagrams, covers philosophy and technique, thorough

I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the BDSM scene/lifestyle. Beginners or veterans of the scene can appreciate the well written humor laden book.
Philip Miller and Molly Devon have had a GREAT run with this book, with their 24th printing last year (2008). If you are looking to explore this lifestyle I suggest you pick up this book! Please if your curious, find a copy of this book!

Co-written by a Dom Male/sub fem.

This book is absolutely a must-have for those interested in or just getting started in S/M. You simply will not be able to put it down once you open it up! I have to say I was rather disappointed that they described Master/slave relationships as dangerous and pretty much unattainable, comparing it to mainly fantasy fiction.

Do you like to lay in bed and do nothing while your partner does what he wants? Has he told you he's tired of you sitting there doing nothing? Well, dear, this book it all you need! It'll teach you how to be one of those 'kinky' bad girls. You know, the ones with whips and stuff like that. Dangerous. I know you'll hate it, but just do it for him, k?

Return to the Chateau
This book is a must-read for anyone who loved [italic|The Story of O]. It takes O's character down paths that couldn't be predicted by where we last left her, and it gives the reader an in-depth and compellingly sexy look into a world that was only really glimpsed previously.
Pros
As beautiful & atmospheric as [italic|The Story of O]
Fascinating look into the workings of Roissy
Cons
Differences in style and characters may be jarring for fans
Rating:
Published:April 19, 2012
If Story of O represents the best in erotic fiction, Return to the Chateau represents the most mediocre of the genre. It may be a sequel to Story of O in plot, but it is a far cry from the original. Where O's plot flowed, Return to the Chateau stumbles. Where O captivated, Chateau bores. At the end of the day, I felt this to be little more than a morality tale of what happens to wanton women who pursue their desires rather than live a life of proper chastity.
Pros
now you finally know what happens to O after Story of O ends
Cons
a world away from Story of O in terms of plot and character development

Family Jewels
If you're looking to learn more about cock and ball torture and perhaps try a few scenes with a willing partner, this is a wonderful book to start with. It vividly outlines everything, from the male anatomy, to safety, down to how to actually execute some CBT scenes. At only 19.99 this book is a STEAL.
Pros
Stunningly written, very informative, great for beginners.
Cons
Only 123 pages :(
Rating:

"Family Jewels" give a good overview of CBT and other male genital forms of play, but it is not the end-all book to dive into being able to do this. It is, however, one of the best guides out there even though I would still definitely recommend finding a real-life person to learn from.
Pros
Gives great background, One of the only guides, Covers all types of play
Cons
Have to hunt for how-to sections, Could have had more information
Rating:
Published:August 21, 2011
Family Jewels, by Hardy Haberman is divided into a number of sections that break down CBT to its bare bones ingredients: from anatomy, to dangers, to toys, to “recipes” for hot CBT scenes. Interesting, informative, and smoking hot all at once, this book is a winner.
Pros
Excellently organized, packed with great info, very erotic while being informative.

Nothing - I only wish there were more "recipes".

It's a great book. I personally love it (once I got over that first hump known as the first story, anyways). The book has some great scenes that I am going to try to (nonchalantly) bring up to my husband to see if we can try. It is good whether or not you're into BDSM or if you're just curious. All in all, it is a really good bedtime book.
Pros
Great intro for a newbie, stories get steamy, you may want to try these at home.
Cons
The first story is kind of boring, may not be something everyone likes.

If you like being submissive (and possibly if you don't) you'll enjoy the stories in this book. Written in a variety of styles and viewpoints, all showcase the relationships between dominant men and their willingly submissive women. Overall, it's a hot read with many stories to savor.
Pros
Well written stories, some intriguing story lines, stories told from different points of view.
Cons
None.
Rating:
Published:July 04, 2011
The erotica contained in He's on Top kept me fascinated from the beginning to the end. It was obviously about male dominance over women, but more importantly it was loving. The women were actually lucky to be under the control of such men and I would definitely recommend this book for anyone shy of trying domination for the first time. You know, just in case you might think it would be hard to include love in fetishes.
Pros
Great written and original stories.
Cons
None at all, really.

I hoped this would be a collection accessible to those not into BDSM (i.e. me!) but I found myself unaroused by most of the content. There are a few gems nestled within, but I don't know if I can justify to others shelling out the cash when I dislike so many of the stories.

Bondage for Sex Volume 1
I was pleasantly surprised with this book; it had so much information in it, and I adored that straight from the beginning there was so much emphasis on safety. This book is great for beginners in that she covers everything from communication basics to the types of rope, as well as types of bondage, but it can also be a bit confusing for those brand new to bondage.
Pros
Lots of pictures, short steps, lots of safety info
Cons
Can be confusing the first time through if you have no experience

Great book for beginners and experienced rope players alike! Fabulous photographs, thick high quality paper, and easy to follow tutorials. Very much recommended.

Sex Tips from a Dominatrix
Consider this book a brief foray into the world of BDSM. It could be a great value in helping you decide whether or not to pursue such an interest. If you are looking for something more instructional however, this book dives only waist-deep, and it does little more than describe the sort of mischief that you could get up to. Certainly, it's worth reading, but don't expect to be an expert after doing so.

All in all, I'd recommend this book for someone who's just edging into erotica and who isn't particularly wild with fetishes.

Good 'fap' material, not the best for the educated and experienced reader.
