Spanked

by Rachel Kramer Bussel (Editor)

Erotic spanking -- whether giving or receiving -- is one of the most exciting, arousing, and sensual experiences to enjoy. In this enticing collection, spanking enthusiast Rachel Kramer Bussel has assembled 22 tales of red-cheeked arousal. Whether being disciplined for naughtiness or simply because they crave the sting of a hand against flesh, the men and women in these stories revel in being bent over, paddled, punished, and possessed by their spankers. Those delivering the blows find extreme pleasure in pushing their bottoms' buttons, making them -- and the reader -- tremble and quiver in anticipation as they await the next smack. Featuring stories by Alison Tyler, Sage Vivant, Stan Kent, Elizabeth Coldwell, Thomas Roche, and others, this sizzling collection offers tales so breathtakingly vivid that readers might find their own cheeks sore just from reading it.Table of Contents

The title of the book says it all. I wanted to read stories about spanking and that's what this was. Now, that's not to say that I enjoyed each story. I prefer guy spanking girl, but that's just me. There is also girl spanking guy and girl-girl. Neither of those two scenarios is what I would look for in a full length novel, but when it's just a short story I'll read it. I'm glad that I did in the case of "Logan" by Rosalind Christine Lloyd. That was girl-girl with a twist. Well done. I also liked "Betty Crocker Gone Bad" by Alison Tyler. I love to bake, but after reading that short story, I won't look at my cooking instruments the same way!

This is not my first Rachel Kramer Bussel anthology and it won't be my last. She does a great job of putting together a variety of different stories with the same theme.

“Will he stay quiet? Or can I break the noise from him?” – Shanna Germain, “Perfect Bound”

This collection is composed of twenty short stories, averaging nine pages each, written by different authors, including Elizabeth Coldwell, Thomas Roche, Alison Tyler, and Sage Vivant.

Each of the stories are set up rather differently, not only managing to keep the reader’s interest, but also making it possible to read multiple stories in one sitting. Ranging from kidnap play, to meeting with a past bully, to simply punishing a naughty lover, the stories tend to be on the lighter side of kinkiness, though the closing story is heavier because of mental play. While most of the stories center on a male-female couple, the partner of either gender could be the top. Two stories have central female-female pairings, and there are some groups with mixed genders. The anthology itself is put together well in terms of story quality and variety.

I thought the stories were just long enough to tantalize with some gripping plot, yet short enough so the actions didn’t become repetitive or dull. The stories all felt very realistic and plausible, and seemed to tap into the emotions of the characters. Not only did the stories vividly describe the spankings themselves, but they also delved deeply into the relationship between the participants.

I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in or turned-on by light kink.

Rarely do I come across an anthology of erotica in which I enjoy every story. So, I was thrilled to get a copy of Rachel Kramer Bussel's new anthology, "Spanked: Red Cheeked Erotica" by Cleis Press in my mailbox.

Each story focuses on the art and pleasure of erotic spanking, yet the authors use their own unique style and imagination to weave realistic and creative scenarios that never become cliché. From submissive fantasies and stories of captivity, to playful frolics of percussion play, the stories are original and diverse, each offering a fresh take on the subject. From slow and sensuous to fast and hard, the spanking is always hot, sexy, erotic and well-written, offering something to tantalize both novice and aficionado alike.

Interesting enough. That's all I can say.Nothing to write home about.

Another wonderful collection of short stories edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel's. As the title says all 20 stories are centred around a spanking theme. I love anthologies and read a lot of them, especially if Rachel Kramer Bussel has edited them. Anthologies give me a chance to discover new authors as well as reading stories from some of my favourite authors. I enjoyed all 20 stories. Some more than others but that's to be expected. Some of my favourites were Spanking you by Rick Roberts, Betty Crocker Gone Bad by Alison Tyler, Page by Page by Laura Bacchus, The Depths of Despair by The editor of this collection and Through a Glass Sharply by Elizabeth Coldwell. There really is something for all tastes here. This is a hot, sexy, touching, sweet, erotic collection. Would recommend.
