Best Bondage Erotica edited by Alison Tyler is HOT, well written and wonderfully sexy. I loved it. The format reminded me very strongly of Taboo: Forbidden Fantasies for Adults, enough that I actually checked to see if they were edited by the same person. I was left wondering if there is a connection between Violet Blue and Alison Tyler!

There are twenty one stories stretched across 194 delicious pages. Every single one of them is well written. That would make a lot of sense, because they are from a variety of well published authors. There is a section in the the back that tells about each author. I love that! If I ever wanted to find more of a particular authors work, I know where to go.

For example, Mark Williams who wrote "Strictly Business" (patience...) writes both promotional material, children's programs, for Playboy and is a comedian. "Strictly Business" was a lovely story. The shy woman that he had to work very hard to coax into sexuality one night decides that she's tying him up with her pantyhose. He'll need to reimburse her for the cost. Those knots are very tight, and will probably need to be cut...

In "Caged," we have a slave girl... She's definitely enjoying herself, but they are trying to see if in time she will learn to actually come simply when her master comes in her mouth. Physical training at it's peak.

There is a story about going somewhere and meeting a stranger who ties you up. One about coming home and being met at the door with a knife. Yes, she doesn't actually know not to use a sharp knife... One about being tied up in a cheap hotel room doorway and something about carrots!

The stories are creative and they go in many different directions. Lots of good stuff, and worth reading. They might even give you some new ideas!

Adrianna asked for some text from some of my favorite stories so I thought that I would include it here.

"The Perfect O" is a story about a woman that loves earrings. She never even knew about body piercings until her current boyfriend Kyle. She didn't even think that he had noticed her earrings until the night that he handed her a magazine. "I flipped the pages silently - my heart beating faster and my crotch growing wet. I looked up at Kyle and comprehension flooded me. His gaze was steadfast and even though I had never known these hoops to hang anywhere but from my ears, I knew I was about to." (later in the story) "He began to lick inside the silver circle, at the same time opening my hot pussy with his cock. He picked up a ring with his teeth as he entered me. I no longer knew where I was. My body flooded with the most acute sensations I had ever experienced. I thrust my hips to meet him as he plunged in deeper, his tongue finding the sore bud beneath the silver. With his mouth on one breast he lifted his hand and began rubbing the other nipple with his fingers. All of my blood followed his fingers."

In "For Emphasis" the editor calls up an author in disgust and is invited over to discuss the relevant section. "The novelist moved closer. Suddenly, she had a crop in her hand. She was a magician, Gemma decided, swallowing down on a wave of fear. Everything was happening so quickly, the editor felt as if she couldn't focus her attention on the correct part of the story - the story that she found herself starring in."

I now have the second book in this series. I took a look at the authors. There is some overlap, but some that are unique to each book as well. I'll look at that more closely when I write the review for Best Bondage Erotica 2. As good as this book as, I'm finding that I'm enjoying the second volume more.
