Mastering Meg by Saskia Walker: – 3 stars When Piers finds Meg's secret stash of BDSM material he sees the way to unbuckle her and win her heart. Meg is wildly aroused, but getting her to admit that is going to be his biggest challenge! I’ve read more than a few short stories by Ms Walker and I always enjoy them. I really must find my way to a full length if she has any. Mastering Meg was a decent story. The heroine, Meg, is interested in BDSM but afraid to go through with it so she dumps her boyfriend. Her boyfriend learns of her sexual interests and forces her to admit to them as well as him. As it is a short, there is not a lot of character development but it was still enjoyable.
Coming Clean by Selena Kitt: – 1 star *TRIGGER WARNING*: domestic violence, sexual violence, rape, and murderWhen divorced Donnie hires Elena as a housekeeper, he has no idea the dark desires she will inspire in him, or the dark past he will help her overcome.
Strangely, I’m almost positive that the only reason I picked up Healing Submission was that Selena Kitt was listed (the only other name I recognized was Saskia Walker). I’ve read a decent amount of Ms Kitt. Normally, most of the Selena Kitt I’ve read is pretty…light-hearted at the end of the day. This one…was NOT. The story was ok and I enjoyed myself well enough. Until the ending. The ending was…straight out of left field. I don’t know WHERE that shit came from but I almost recoiled in shock. And it turned me off reading the rest of the anthology.
Force Majeure by Arden Aoide: 4 Stars!The mind of Jeff Rainier is remarkable and strange. It separates him from true intimacy. Until Evan. She revels in his obsessive nature and captivating idiosyncrasies. Can he trust her affections?
If all the stories in the Healing Submission boxed set are as good as Force Majeure by Arden Aoide, then it is a must read!
Aoide's Force Majeure is well paced and filled with interesting characters. The anticipation within the story and between the characters slowly builds. Readers will not be disappointed in this rich and fulfilling story of two unique people, a nerd and a commitment-phobe, who find fulfillment with each other.
So I had to think this one through for a while. I love, love, love a good BDSM story and these were all like yummy little treats. Each one a new flavor of submission, love and trust. I could go on and on about all the hit scenes in this collection but there's not enough time. This collection brings you complete tales of trust and control, so there's no need to worry about feeling unfulfilled. You will want more, but that's always a good thing. I will say that a couple of the standout reads for me were Selena Kitt, Penelope L'Amoreaux, Adriana Valenti... ok so I loved them all. It's the perfect read for a naughty lunch hour or ....
This is one box set you do not want to pass up. Each one is a full complete book and all are well write. Some are just hot and steamy but all are on the basic floor mat of healing past hurts to find true love. Each story is so individual in its own style. Like I said the is too good to pass up you will really missing out if you do. So set back and get comfortable this is not something you will read in its entirety one one night but just maybe one of the story's it contains.

I liked all the stories in this collection. I have read some of these authors before. It was worth the read. Every story was different, but good. I only paid .99 for the collection when it was released. If you enjoy some D/s you will enjoy this book.
