Liaison
When Gabrielle returned to the Tuscan Bed and Breakfast, it was to let go of the past and begin the long process of healing. But she found soon enough that the guilt tied up with her husband's death still held her tight in its grip.
Julian was captivated the instant he saw the sad, sultry Gabrielle. Having overcome the pain of his own past, Gabrielle's need drew him. When she trusted him with the story of her guilt, his dominant nature knew what she needed in order to free herself from her suffering.
"Guilt left unpunished devours from the inside out," he said. "Do you need me to punish you?" Gabrielle's acceptance bound the two strangers in their journey from pain through pleasure and to the dawn of healing.
Dear reader, please be advised this story contains BDSM elements, including spanking, belt whipping and anal sex.
EXCERPT:
"I've stopped wondering if I could have saved my wife," he began."But I know for a fact that guilt left unpunished is like an open wound. It will fester and infect everything else around it. No living being can thrive much less survive under those conditions."
She drank a big swallow of her wine.
"I'll punish you, if you allow me to."
"I don't understand. Punish me how?" she asked.
"I'll give you physical pain, a spanking to start for example, to help alleviate your guilt. You'll take pain, as you believe you've caused pain."
"I don't think a spanking is what I need," she chuckled, unsure how to react to this strange conversation.
"I can use my belt if you prefer."
She swallowed hard, but his face told her he wasn't joking. "You're serious," she said.

This is a captivating, sexy short story set against the backdrop of the stunning Tuscany countryside.
Gabrielle and Julian are both widowed, both holidaying alone separately in a Tuscan B&B. Gabrielle is carrying enormous guilt over the death of her husband and Julian spots that innate sadness as soon as she walks in. Julian is a hot dominant alpha male and senses the potential submissiveness in Gabrielle right away.
After an explosive first encounter, Julian tells her that he can punish her to help her overcome her guilt and begin to heal. What follows is a deeply erotic, deeply sensual punishment which definitely pushed all the right buttons for me. Julian is obviously an experienced dominant and Gabrielle thrives through her submission.
This is a very touching story with surprising depth considering how short it is. Both the characters are well developed and I felt their vulnerability throughout. I felt hopeful for both of them after reading this and the ending is open-ended enough for a potential sequel which I know I would like to read. I want more.

For a smexy D/s pick me up, this is the story to read! Liaison is a delightfully tightly written story about two strangers sharing a common guilt and bonding over it.
Julian is one sexy man who exudes a tasty Dom presence. Gabrielle is a sweet submissive in desperate need of exoneration. They each carry guilt which is hard for them to absolve themselves. Through some kinky D/s with spankings, it brings them closer together and help resolve some of their feelings of guilt.
This story is recommended for D/s lovers who enjoy cathartic spankings and lovely anal sex.

LIAISON (now titled TAUGHT TO KNEEL) hits all the right buttons in this sexy quickie, a story of moving on and finding peace and satisfaction.
Gabrielle has been carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders after losing the love of her life. She knows that absolving herself from the heavy guilt she has felt since the death of her husband can only be achieved where her life with her husband began. Upon arrival to the Tuscan countryside, sadness weighs heavy on her heart, but when the beautiful stranger Julian enters the picture; her life and desires change in a flash.
At 33 pages, LIAISON (TAUGHT TO KNEEL) has a surprisingly well-developed story line and characters. I am really hoping to learn more about Gabrielle’s journey into the unknown world of pain and pleasure as well as the healing powers this lifestyle serves for her in the future.

A short-ish story about a woman trying to get over her dead husband. Gabrielle and her husband visited a B&B in Italy every year until he died unexpectedly. This is Gabrielle's first visit since his death. The first night, she meets Julian. She's drawn to him, but doesn't know why. Things happen very quickly between them, and for some reason, Gabrielle responds to his heavy-handedness. They embark on what could be a very short BDSM holiday fling. It was hot, but it was also very sweet. Gabrielle feels a lot of guilt for her husband's death, and Julian feels guilt over his wife's suicide. Julian has more or less come to terms with his guilt, and he helps Gabrielle with hers. She tells him things she'd never even told her closest friends, and it's cathartic for her. And Julian seems to really care for her and vice versa. This is more a happy-for-now because we don't really know what Gabrielle's choice was. I wouldn't mind seeing more of this couple in a future story.

I really enjoyed this short, sexy book by Ms. Knight. I must admit, some BDSM stories leave me cold, as they can be short on emotion. This one wasn't. The author stated in her blurb that she likes to write BDSM works that are tender, and that's exactly how this one struck me. The characters cared, and were darn sexy while doing so. It made me want their happy ending and I enjoyed how it ended optimistically. I will look forward to reading more by this author.

Better than average novella about a woman who cannot overcome the guilt of what has happened to her in the past. I loved that it was an interlude - that both of them had full lives with obligations. Lust/sex happens fast but, hey, that is real life sometimes. No undying vows of love after 2 days - only a recognition that there could be feelings there if they want to build. Hot discipline scenes well described. Nothing not to like about this one!
November 23, 2012
This was an emotional short story that I thoroughly enjoyed! Julian is a master at sensing what Gabrielle needs and giving it to her. Gabrielle needs someone like Julian to help her heal!
They are sexy, hot and oh so good for each other!

*** UPDATE TO REVIEW ***
What a great revision and expansion to the original story, “Liaison”. Really enjoyed (re-)reading this to see how the author changed the storyline without affecting its basic premise or lessening the emotional impact. New rating = unqualified ★★★★. Of course, still highly recommend this novelette.
Alas, Gabrielle and Julian don’t get their stay extended at the Tuscan B&B. But certain aspects of the storyline are revised slightly and fleshed out more, with hotter BDSM scenes. And unlike with the original version, I was better able to accept the “punishment to wash away the guilt” plot device.
I hope that Ms. Knight considers a possible Act II of Gabrielle and Julian in future.
* My thanks to the author for kindly offering a copy of the revised edition. And for taking note of my little reading quirk in the original review. ^ᴗ^
*** ORIGINAL REVIEW ***
MEMORABLE QUOTE: "...guilt left unpunished is like an open wound. It will fester and infect everything else around it. ..."
(★★★½) LIAISON was a great introduction to Natasha Knight, a NTM author, and completely exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a quick and well-written BDSM/erotica read.
LIAISON had an unexpected level of emotional depth and character development for its short length, enough to understand why Gabrielle and Julian act the way they do when they meet at a Tuscan B&B. Both have regrets over how their respective marriages ended but unlike Julian, Gabrielle hasn't let go of her guilt. Having experienced something similar, Julian quickly recognizes her burden, as well as the fact that she's a natural submissive. Somewhat self-serving but he proposes a possible therapy for Gabrielle—yep, you guessed it, a very hands-on speed course in D/s 101.
Time is limited (as are the pages) because both are at the B&B only for the weekend, so they transition very rapidly from strangers to lovers. The sex/BDSM scenes were erotic as hell and realistically written.
Personally, I had some tiny issues. For example, I couldn't fully buy into the "punishment can relieve your guilt" but it worked as a plot device and got Gabrielle and Julian to where they needed to be—in the bedroom. Also, there was no mention of why Julian (from Denver) was at a B&B in Tuscany for only a weekend. (Gabrielle's reason was explained toward the end.) My biggest complaint, however, is that LIAISON was just too damn short! Gabrielle and Julian should've been staying at the B&B for at least a week. ^_^
I really enjoyed LIAISON and given that it ended with somewhat of a loose HFN, I hope that Ms. Knight quickly releases Act II of Gabrielle and Julian.

Liaison by Natasha Knight is a quick sexxy read that’s sure to raise your temperature. Gabrielle, a widow of two years, returns to a Tuscany B&B-something she used to do with her husband when he was alive.
Having died in a car accident she blames herself for, Gabrielle hasn’t been able to move on after his death and her guilt is a heavy burden for her to carry. While at the B&B, she meets Julian, another guest who quickly recognizes the pain reflected in her eyes.
Gabrielle is quickly drawn to Julian and Julian recognizes Gabrielle’s need to be punished. What ensues is a torrid affair that whets your appetite and leaves you wanting more. *crossing my fingers for a sequel* ;)

*4.5 STARS*
I LOVED this. I loved Julian and the way he took Gabrielle in hand. It was so unbelievably hot that I had to stop reading for just a little bit to um...make my DH happy...lol.
Anyway, this story had so much emotion packed into such a quick read that I absolutely devoured it. But WHY, WHY, WHY did it have to end where it did! I wanted more. What happened! Did she use the ticket??? Natasha Knight is some kind of sadist to cut me off like that...I think I may just love her now. ;)
This is my first story by this author and I was NOT disappointed. I will be seeking out more of her stuff in the recent future. If this story is anything to go by, she will go to author for me when I want hot sex and good story!

I have found a new author to follow. Natasha Knight evoked feelings of grief and guilt that were pleasingly real and un-homogenized. In her characters we are given an individualized look into the experiences that drive them. This is not a cookie cutter story. Though the Dom male / sub female is not a new dynamic, Natasha Knight gave me a fresh look at a complex relationship between near strangers. I'll be reading her again for sure.

Gabrielle is on vacation but happy. Julian is also on his own. I think one of the interesting thing in this story is that it was the wife who cheated. Both Gabrielle herself and Julian's husband. He feels that he knows what she needs and what he didn't give his own wife. I love that both recognized that this was temporary because they were going home but the possibility for more was left open and on the table.

Ask Or Not
Gabrielle couldn't ask her husband or her lover what she needed. To be dominated! Jillian saw the submissive in her. This is the book of one woman's enlightenment of her desires and needs. It is, also, a love story between a Dom and his submissive. This is definitely a book for adults only. I recommend this book highly for what it is, pure joy.

Julian + Gabrielle
Though it be short, it be mighty
“He pushed the covers off and got dressed. He'd help Gabrielle, he'd hold her hand and carry her when she couldn't walk herself. His methods might be considered harsh or old fashioned by some, but for others, a firm hand was what it took.”

Gabrielle travels to Tuscany to overcome to guilt she feels. She has never traveled to Tuscany on her own, it was always her and William's honeymoon spot until now. Filled with grief and mourning over her husband leaving her, Gabrielle travels to the Bed and Breakfast alone.
Julian knows what Gabrielle needs. He sees it in her eyes the first time she comes across his path. There is sadness in her eyes and he plans to help her overcome her grief. Something is haunting her but isn't quite sure what but he is determined to find out and help her.
Taught to Kneel is full of emotion, I felt close to Gabrielle in the story. I watched her learn to forgive herself and have to courage to move on. It was an eye opening story to see an author focus on the mental aspect of things versus just the sexual.

This is a short but incredibly sweet and tender BDSM DD erotica story. There is well portrayed, genuine feeling between the characters. I had a lump in my throat reading about Gabrielle's emotions over her husband's death, and Natasha's descriptions of the Tuscan Bed and Breakfast made me feel like I was there.
Now before you go thinking it sounds a bit *too* sweet for you, there are spankings aplenty and sex which is hot, well written and definitely kinky, but it's also an emotional story with the sex scenes and the spankings occurring as they naturally would, as part of the development of the story, and not feeling in the least bit tacked on at the end.
Beautifully done. I'll be looking for more books by Natasha Knight :)

A seriously good, hot, BDSM read. Quick, could be read in an evening.
The story centres around guilt, punishment and forgiveness. Gabrielle is racked with guilt over her affair which wrecked her marriage. Unable to move on, she takes a holiday alone at the spot she and her ex-husband went on honeymoon. There she meets Julian. The two are drawn to each other, and he offers her a way to atone for her past misdeeds. If she accepts his punishment, will she finally be able to forgive herself?
Gabrielle and Julian spend just a weekend together, but it's steamy, sensual and totally butt-clenching. With some incredibly inventive uses for ginger root. Just my sort of evening's entertainment. Highly recommend this for a short sharp bout of kinky fun.

Have you ever written a review not being quiet certain what to write? Well let me start by saying that this book was good, it was not exceptional or brilliant, but it was a good read. Natasha Knight has a good writing style that is easy to follow and yes I will read more of her works!
So let me get to the 3 star rating. I loved the characters although I didn't feel a strong connection to them. I feel that I would have liked to see more of their personalities. The book itself was also a bit short for my liking and the plot was a little plain, but hey that's personal taste.
If you like a dominating male character and some elements of bdsm, I would recommend this read!*

I received this book as a reward for a contest I entered.
I walked into this book, only knowing that it was Erotica and contained BDSM.
I was not disappointed with the disclaimer I received.
It is the ultimate in stranger fantasy, with a healthy dose of emotion thrown in - completely (in my book) validating the BDSM. I've come to realize that alot of BDSM seems contrite, doing it because it "has to be done". Natasha brought a new appeal, a new reason, and a great difference I hadn't read before.
A good read. Short - but great.
Can't wait to read more by Natasha Knight

This is a short sweet story about Gabrielle and Julian. Gabrielle returns to an Italian B&B frequented by her and her ex husband to try to overcome the guilt felt over her affair and failed marriage. Julian picks up on her guilt and offers to punish her to absolve her of her guilt. The offer turns in to much more as Gabrielle finally finds the dominance she has been searching for in a man.
The setting for this story is beautifully written, and both characters are well developed and very likeable. The punishment and sex scenes are hot and contribute well to the story.

This book has a great plot & as usual Natasha's writing is impeccable. There were several really steamy spanking & sex scenes. I did have trouble connecting fully with the characters & I think that caused me to not be able to fully immerse myself in the story. I can tell this is just a "me" thing because people love this book! I would recommend any book by Natasha Knight as she is one of my favorite authors.
March 10, 2013
I really enjoyed the book. I loved the characters and got drawn into the story quickly. The sex scenes were very detailed and progressed well. The book was incredibly well written, but i just wish it was longer. I was getting so caught up with the story and the charcters and then it ended. Very good book, I just wanted more!

Gabrielle notices Julian when she returns to the Tuscan bed and breakfast for the first time since her husband passed away. Charming Julian helps her unburden herself of her guilt and sadness and this was surprisingly good in just 33 pages. This is a happy for now since we don't see what direction Gabrielle takes.
March 20, 2013
It was okay but didn't really do anything for me. At least a confrontation with her ex husband or with her new lover/Dom would of kept me thoroughly entertained but this had neither, only a bit of punishment and acceptance.
November 9, 2012
I LOVED this! Finally an erotica author who knows how to write a great story. Short, fast and hot, this "Quickie" leaves you wanting a "Quickie!"
