Princess Bound: Naughty Fairy Tales for Women
Face it, fairy tales were always kind of kinky: from beautiful queens tied up in knots by wicked sorcerers to a wide variety of naughty and nice scenarios. Someone was always getting tied to a bed! In this new anthology of erotic romance fairy tales from the editor of the best-selling Fairy Tale Lust and Lustfully Ever After, the fairy tales are naughtier and have a BDSM twist. Retellings of the classics are joined with clever original tales, making for a darkly sensual and intensely romantic collection. Cathy Yardley, author of Crave: The Seduction of Snow White, introduces this compilation of enticing out-of-this-world erotic romance.

Princesses bound, spanked and sexual torments is my kind of fairy tale. In A Princess Bound, Ms. Wright brings together an awesome collection of fairy tales retold. There are seventeen erotically delicious stories in this anthology and I loved every single one of them. Usually, in a collection, I may like about half of the stories if I'm lucky. Sometimes, a collection is disappointing and I only like two to three out of the couple of dozen choices. Ms. Wright does an amazing job in her selection because every single story is seductive and well written.
Each story takes a turn with some of the popular and less popular fairy tales. Some of them are set in the days long past. Others take on a fresh look with a modern twist. Each of them have one thing in common. They contain an element of sexual yearning. Sometimes the story ends in a happily ever after. Sometimes it hints at a happily ever after. The two that stick out in my mind the most are because they involve water creatures. As a water baby, I can't help but be seduced by Laila Blake's selkie in Sealed. Just as I love the mermaid in Rose de Fer's Out of the Waves.
What surprised me the most in this collection are the sexual combinations. I thought for sure this would be all bondage with a maledom theme. Instead, there are a couple of stories with f/f dominance which tickles my fancy. There is even a taste of femdom as a modern day Cinderella takes control of her Prince Charming for a wild night. Another is the hint of femdom when Jules confronts the Fairy King in The Smith Under the Hill. Of all the ones which makes me want to read more, I must confess, The Smith Under the Hill would be the one. Why? Because the Fae are sly tricky creatures who change their mind on a whim. Will Jules survive the love of a Fae King? What delicious torments will he perpetrate on her body? How will he violate her night after night? Will he keep her on edge until she loose her mind? Or will he force her to experience orgasm after orgasm until she expires? The danger from this seductive male is what thrills and arouses me the most.
Each of these stories are well crafted. They are tightly written with a beginning, middle and an end. From start to end, this book keeps a reader simmering in arousal. It is a pleasure to read every single one of these stories. They are all different and well done. I hope another series of fairy tales will come forth from Ms. Wright. Perhaps the next set will up the ante with a darker erotic theme. Recommended for all readers who want a good erotic book to get the juices flowing.

Seventeen naughty tales of submission, otherworldly pleasure and a little pain. I recognized the inspirations behind some of the tales, and the naughty twists were done very well. As for the rest, they were completely new to me but still managed to capture my interest. There is an excerpt below of one such tale, and it was also the first story in this collection. If you love the classics, old folklore or just want some new stories written the old way but with a very sexy twist, then this is a lovely collection to lose yourself in. The majority of the stories were M/F, but there were also two F/F.
My top favorites (5 stars):
The Seven Ravens by Ariel Graham
Cecily breaks a curse her father had placed on his once best friend's family. Whoa, hot, hot, hot!
Black of Knight by Victoria Blisse
A fair maiden with snark, a bit of a tom boy, BBW, a handsome Black Knight who yells “Cheerio”. This was funny and sexy!
Need and Permission by Benjamin Creek
Beauty and the Beast – the adult version, and boy did this deliver! Marienne misses Andray's wild side. To distract herself from the stale bedroom activities, she writes all her dark desires in her private journal. Then he finds it. Dun dun dun. Loved it!
Locks by Tahira Iqbal
Cara, is a descendant of Rapunzel. An ounce of her hair is highly coveted. Her hair is used in sex rituals, and she feels whatever the “users” feel. Something her newly hired bodyguard is bound to notice. So hot!
Out of the Waves by Rose de Fer
The mermaid Naiae is fascinated by a fisherman; it's love at first sight. She allows herself to be captured by him in the hopes that he'll keep her. A mermaid and a sexy mortal. Need I say more?
Mine Until Dawn by Valerie Alexander
A Cinderella type story. Cynthia works as a janitor in a corporate building and she's in lust with the CEO, Justin. She uses a spell that will make her beautiful enough to make him notice her. All she wants is to control him for just one night. This was so sweet and sexy. I loved the twist at the end with the photo replacing the "glass slipper".
In the Palace of Gods and Monsters by Michelle Augello-Page
Beauty and the Beast-esque. In order to help her family restore their fortune, a princess was married off to a king from a faraway castle, sight unseen. She was never allowed to look upon her new husband's face. He never came to her unless she followed his rules of waiting for him blindfolded. Over time she had come to love him and the wicked pleasures he bestowed upon her. But one night, her curiosity got the better of her. Who doesn't love a twist on that particular tale? This story was probably the hottest one and blended pain and pleasure very well.
4/5 Stars:
Sealed by Laila Blake
This was interesting as I'd never heard anything similar before. A little online research brought up The Seal Wife, The Seal Woman, and/or The Seal Pelt. According to legend, a selkie can only make contact with one human for a short amount of time before they must return to the sea. They are unable to make contact with that human again for seven years, unless the human steals their selkie skin and hides it or burns it. Sealed is the tale of James and Mairead.
This romantic tragedy left me with tears by the end of it. Heartachingly beautiful.
The Smith Under the Hill by Kathleen Tudor
A sister journies into the realm of the Fae to rescue her brother. Seduced by the Fae Prince until she turns the tables on him. This was hot, and I loved the heroine taking control of the Fae Prince.
Thorn King by Jane Gilbert
A woman stumbles in the woods and is met by a dominating man who brings her painful pleasure. I loved this dark, mysterious, and very hot tale. But be warned, there's blood play involved.
Red and the Big Bad Wolf by Poetic Desires
Red is a spitfire - hot-tempered, strong, untameable. Her parents fear she'll never be able to find a future King with that attitude. They turn to the Grandmother of the forest, a powerful mage, for help. At the same time, Wolfe was sent to kill the mage, but she had other plans for him.
The Last Duchess by Kristina Wright
Esmerelda fakes her death to escape from her sadistic husband. With the help of a wizard, she lives in subterfuge. But she's lonely and starving for a man's rough touch once more. She dreams of the wizard and confesses her darkest desires. Upon awakening, there seems to be more to her feline gift from the wizard than meets the eye.
Others
The Silence of Swans by Kannan Feng
The identity of the narrator was a bit vague. I gathered she was a Princess who was captured by the King, yet she lived in his castle and was treated like a maid who sewed shirts made of asters that were supposed to release her brothers from a curse and return them to their human form from a swan state. She couldn't speak, but loved the pleasure the King bestowed upon her.
The Dancing Princess by Elizabeth L. Brooks
Witches or Fairies? I didn't fully understand what was going on in this one, and at the time of writing this, I don't remember it.
The King's Cousin by Catherine Paulssen
F/F Not something that interests me, but I did like the vast differences between the two women. One was delicate and strong-willed, the other was fierce (warrior type). I liked the hard vs soft, but their intimacy did nothing for me. It was still a very well-written story.
Your Wish by L.C. Spoering
Aladdin type story. A man finds a bottle with a female genie who grants him three wishes. She hopes the last one he makes will be about her.
The Witch's Servant by Michael M. Jones
F/F. Lost in the woods, the spoiled and bratty Princess Emmaline came upon an old crone in a cottage. Her ungratefulness despite the old woman's help was punished with seven months of subservience. When the time came for the witch to release her, Emma made a bold decision. Another well-written F/F story.

“What is this torturous contraption?” he muttered as he pulled cords and swore under his breath.
“It is to capture fair maidens, to cut off blood flow to the brain and keep them easy to control.”

"If you do not leave. If you do not now push me out of this cabin and bar the door and windows, I will take you. All of you. Until I am sweaty and exhausted. Until the sun comes through the glass and shines on our writhing bodies. I want you, need you, Red. All of you. And if you do not feel as I do, tell me now while I still have the power to stop myself, while I still have the power to love you more than my desire to be inside you."

Fantastic, Amazing
Although not all the stories were quite my thing, I found every one of them to be extremely well written and generally enjoyable. Some of the stories spoke to me so loudly that I had to stop reading for several minutes in order to regain control of my emotions and occasionally my body. This book was simply fantastic and amazing. So good I intend to find and buy a hard copy as well.

I really loved each individual story,you never knew what was going to happen next. It really kept your attention though out the story. It has me thinking and dreaming it was me instead,in fact I,wanted it to be me. You will not be disappointed,if you read these. Looking for more books like this.

PRINCESS BOUND: NAUGHTY FAIRY TALES FOR WOMEN really didn't do it for me. I found several of the stories simply too bizarre or confusing for my taste in erotica, like Sealed, The Smith Under the Hill, and Out of the Waves. There were quite a few that I did enjoy, my favorites being Locks, The Witch's Servant, Mine Until Dawn, and Red and the Big Bad Wolf, but the majority just weren't my cup of tea.
Overall, the book did flow nicely, the stories all complementing each other with a definite, sometimes slightly uncomfortable, BDSM theme. From mermaids to seals, from witches to wizards, there's something for all fantasy lovers in PRINCESS BOUND: NAUGHTY FAIRY TALES FOR WOMEN.

All little girls love fairy tales, Snowwhite meets her prince charming after being tricked by her wicked stepmother, Sleeping Beauty gets awakened with a magical kiss and meets her savior.
No matter the tale all woman can think back to their childhood and remember the feeling of elation when that happy ending comes. But all little girls grow up and along with stepping in to the grown up world comes real romance.
I have personally always wondered what my favorite fairy tale heroine, Snowwhite was feeling when she met her prince, instant attraction obviously because they do get married in a matter of three pages, but what about all the other emotions associated with love and lust?
And what about it the story teller had added a little twist? Well I wonder no more, because in this read the authors did an amazing job at taking the everyday fairy tales we all love and transformed them all into fairy tale meets the world of erotica, showing not only the real feelings these fairy tale heroines felt but adding in fabulous twits that gave the stories a life of their very own , far from the ones I read as a child.
There was The Seven Ravens by Ariel Graham , that showed when we fall in love there is so much more to the person we see, a multitude of talents and personalities combine to present the perfect hero of one's heart.
Your wish by L.C. Spoering showed how life can present us with the one we love and even when right in front of us we can still manage to overlook the person.
The Last Duchess by Kristina Wright was a tale of cruelty to a woman and showed when fighting back one can be free and find happiness.
Those are just three of the enthralling reads from this book. Each story was filled with deep dark desires and passion exploding from the pages. If you are not a fan of erotica and prefer to keep your fairy tales wrapped in the perfect little no naughty dreams bubble this read is of course not for you. But if like myself you have ever wondered what if or what about , then this read will lead the way to giving life to all those desires and much more. Spanking, being tied up and bent beyond will, losing control, magic you name it this read had it.
I recommend this read for fans of erotic read that offer up a variety of twists and turns and has something for each kind of fantasy you might be secretively craving.

" Princes and Princess come to life like never before"
August 18, 2014
Your favorite fairy tales retold modernized with a fresh new perspective. And kinky!
I was really excited to get this anthology started. I really, really wanted to enjoy these shot stories. Quite frankly, the idea of having my favorite princesses appear in light BDSM stories seemed genius.
However, these stories all fell short for me. I figured I could love at least one, but all seemed to share a common theme, aside from BDSM, of course - they were too short and the characters were shallow. Most stories, in my opinion, seemed to skip around. Quite a few I would love to see turned into full-length novels because the ideas were excellent, just poorly executed.
I would only recommend this book to anyone who wants to skip getting to know characters and having a true plotline and just get down to the nitty-gritty.

More erotic romance than dirty smut. Mostly straight. If you're really into reworked fairy tales, you would probably enjoy it, but it didn't strike me as particularly special. I prefer Sassafras Lowrey's recent Leather Ever After, queer leather retold fairy tales.

OH MY WORD. This book is phenomenal. These authors know how to tell a damn good, sexy story. I cannot even form words well enough to state how much I love this anthology.
Review on my blog to come soon. :)

A clever collection of retellings. Of course, fairy tales lend themselves to BDSM reinterpretations, so there's that.
