Kink
Two men. Two women. Two stories. Too wild...
Contemporary erotica filled with love, lust, and kink.
Watch Me
Some people have coffee. Some have tea. But the only thing that wakes Bethany Mack up in the morning is sex. Too bad marriage to Grant has settled her into a sex-starved routine-that is, until she spies a hot, muscled roofer next door. So she puts on a little show for him through the window, letting her inhibitions loose, and discovers a naughty new addiction. But how will her husband react when he discovers just how far a desperate housewife will go for some loving from him?
Sex, Lies, and Bondage Tape
When Kelly Burton sneaks past security for a singer's autograph, she's soon distracted by the hot bouncer who finds her. After a scolding, the bouncer decides to have his wicked way with the naughty-but-eager groupie. And what follows is a night of passion, hard-rock-style.

This is a hot book. It contains two separate stories.
The first is of a self reliant single woman who meets her match in a scruffy roadie while trying to sneek backstage at a concert. They have pages and pages of hot sex only to be idiots and not give each other contact information. They spend the rest of the story going back and forth and chasing each other. When they get together...yeah buddy...
I wanna know where to get that PVC bondage tape!
The second story was about a married couple who are trying to find out the best way to keep each others' attention sexually. Starting out you get the wife who discovers her exhibitionist side feeds the need for attention she is not getting at home. When her husband discovers what she has been doing he pulls out his Dominating Hat and goes to work.
I have never read much of anything on a D/s relationship...so this book...gave me a light little taste of what a full length novel would be like. While there were areas that definitely gave me a squishie, other parts reminded me that it's not a fantasy I share.
Overall...two well developed stories, that took me into the minds of the characters and my husband was happy I read it!

2 erotic novellas with a common theme of bondage and domination - each had lots of action.
1) Sex, Lies & Bondage Tape - the set-up seemed somewhat unlikely but other than that it was fairly well written. Plenty of action. I found the "I like you but I'm not going to admit it" tiresome. Give me a break.
2) Watch Me - the wife is bored and displays some exhibitionist tendencies. Hubby finds out and it sets off his dominant side with plenty of fireworks. I liked the husband more than the wife - she was not a sympathetic character to me - I wanted to tell her to get a grip on herself.
Overall not bad for erotica.

I read the novellas of unknow authors (to me) to get to know them.
This anthology contains 2 stories one about a gay rockstar but the real story is about a fan trying to get an authograph for a friend and getting caught by security. They hook -up and he leaves, no number nothing. Later they hook-up again and she tortourously teases him w/ bondage. It was a good chase story. Not a fave but it was OK for first time reading of this author. I wouldn't buy her but I wouldn't mind reading something by her in another anothology.
The second second is much more personal since it is told from a first person perspective. I guess this is what I am more used to because I like getting in the heads of the characters I read about. This story was also much more well written. I liked the playfulness of the main character, as she's a bored housewife and we know what can happen from there. =).
I am new to reading romantica (erotica romance) and I know it's in a league all it's own from other styles of writing. I am wading thru trying to find a favorite author a balance betweeen plot, intelligent characters, and love scenes. So far I've liked Jami Alden and a couple others I'd have to look up to name.

This book is erotica, so if that's not your thing, stop reading.
I loved this book! It's really good - two good romantic stories with realistic hetero, monogamous "kinky" scenes. There's light-weight bondage, spanking, role playing, domination/submission, and exhibitionism, but none are extreme versions. 99% of the sexy stuff in this book most couples could do on a particularly adventurous evening. The love stories are very sweet and well-written, too. An all-around winner - highly recommended!

The first story is “Sex, Lies and Bondage Tape”, by Saskia Walker. When one of Kelly's roommates is injured skiing and unable to attend a concert, she gives her ticket to Kelly. While Kelly enjoys the concert, she's not quite as gaga over the rock star Clayton as her friends are, but at the end of the concert she decides to sneak backstage and try to get his autograph for her roommate. Of course she gets caught and is carried out by security, aka Tommy. Literally, as in Tommy swings her up over his shoulder and carries her out, giving her bottom a couple of smacks on the way. Tommy thinks Kelly is just another groupie, and one of his personal rules is he doesn't hook up with groupies. But when he realizes that Kelly seems to be enjoying his manhandling of her, he ramps it up a notch, and they end up spending the night together in his hotel room.
Being a novella, there isn't a lot of time for true character development, but I enjoyed what little we did get. Kelly has issues dating back to her father abandoning her mother when she was young, and Tommy thinks Kelly settled for him when she couldn't get Clayton. Neither of them are planning to start a relationship when they hook up for the night, so afterwards there's a lot of internal dialogue as they each explore their own doubts and feelings. In between some pretty hot bouts of sex, there's Kelly running all over town trying to track Tommy down, and then later Tommy trying to track Kelly down.
The second story is “Watch Me”, by Sasha White. This one started out a little slower for me. Bethany's husband Grant has become immersed in his work after a promotion, and she's feeling neglected. Then she inadvertently discovers the joys of teasing strangers in public, from giving little peep shows to masturbating on a bus. Exhibitionism and masturbation are two of my least favorite tropes, for lack of a better word, and here they both are in one story. But eventually Grant catches her, and while his initial reaction was anger and storming off in a huff, his later response was smoking hot and got my attention right along with Bethany's.
This story was told in first person POV, so we only got insight into Bethany's thoughts and feelings, as she grappled with missing her husband's attention, and then getting his attention and loving it but still feeling that under the surface things were not yet right between them. I would've loved for this story to be a full length novel as it ended way too soon. Or too late, as I sat up until midnight last night reading. The resolution between them, Grant opening up about his feelings, came rather abruptly, and I would've loved to see some more exploration – and action – before everything was neatly wrapped up. But the resolution was satisfying and left no doubts of the couple having their HEA.
The back cover blurb is a little misleading, as both stories had more depth and plot to them than I had anticipated, which is a good thing.

“What is it with you two? You shag, you say good-bye, and then you realize you haven't got each other's phone number?”The writing is good, the characters are likable, and while the plot may be a little unrealistic, I don't read these books for reality, and this story was a nice way to while away part of an afternoon.

I would rate this a 4. But I rate the two stories differently:
I gave the first story. "Sex, Lies and Bondage Tape" a 5. It was great. Sexy and steamy right from the start. The H/h have a struggle to come together at the end. There is some spanking involved (very hot), and of course some bondage tape. It was fast paced and fun. I have never read anything by this author, Saskia Walker. I may look into some of her other works.
The second story, "Watch Me", I would give a 3.5. It was a bit weird to me. I didn't like how the heroine had no clue that her DH had Dom tendencies, but they have been married for 3 years. That doesn't fly with me. I also didn't like the way they just fell into this D/s relationship with out even talking about it first. They are married for goodness sakes, and they are just going to change the entire scope of their relationship without a word? Very weird.
I don't know if this is a spoiler or not, so I will click that it is, just in case.

Rating: 2.5 stars
I rated both stories 2.5
This book was boring, and pseudo-creepy at times. That said, I could see why someone could find these fantasies hot, but safe words are necessary at ALL times, especially with new partners.
I don't know. This book was all meh for me. Didn't spark infinite rage, but I didn't find it that taboo or hot.
I don't know. This book just might be your thing but it wasn't mine.

Two stories ... the 2nd one is hotter.
Bethany and Grant are a married couple still in love. Grant, however, like many people is immersed in his work to the exclusion of his personal life. The other partner, again like life, still has a pulse and sex drive and soon finds an interesting way to compensate.
Grant soon finds out and the kink comes out and it is HOT!

Two very quick erotic reads from Saskia Walker and Sasha White. I've read both authors before so no big surprises. They are novellas, so don't expect much character development, but pretty much non-stop heat! I liked the second story (by Sasha White) the best. Warning: light bondage, spanking, Dominance and submission, voyeurism, and exhibition present.
May 2, 2013
I actually read only the second story(I'll soon read the first one too)and I liked it pretty much. I can't say I loved it, but the characters felt real, as did their relationship, and of course the sex was spicy hot.
February 17, 2014
More Sasha White romance with a bit of kink. I really like all of Sasha White's writing, she creates erotic stories, with characters and a plot to keep you interested to the end...Oh, and they are all HOT stuff! The other story was enjoyable too.

Read the first of the two stories. Typical erotica.....so far, so good. Finished the second story last night. Still pretty typical erotica.
March 31, 2010
I thought this was a very good book. The second story was more about D/s relationship which I am not much into but it was still very well written.
March 31, 2010
I thought both of these stores were pretty good. I really liked the first one a lot. There's just something about these big tough take charge men that drives me crazy.
February 10, 2016
Much preferred the first story than the second. The domination between the two in the first story was equaly shared. In the second it was one sided and that didnt appeal to me.
November 22, 2010
very hot book loved every minute of "the game"
