Bound for Service #6
The Shame Gambit
When eighteen-year-old Barbara Edwards agrees to become a model at the Ostia Agency, she quickly discovers that she was recruited for quite a bit more than just some naughty photos.
Barbara will be trained by an agent for the secretive, powerful Praetorian Guard--training which will be more shameful than she could have ever imagined--and then she will take part in an ancient game with the fate of the world at stake and her beautiful body as a playing piece.
Publisher's Note: The Shame Gambit is a stand-alone book which is the sixth entry in the Bound for Service series, which shares the same near-future setting as The Institute Series. It includes spankings and sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

About the author
Emily Tilton
242 books501 followersEmily Tilton, whose books have hit number one on Amazon in six different erotica categories, wishes she could live out her fantasies of submission the way her characters do.
Emily's erotica is a narrative version of her nearly lifelong quest to reconcile her submissive erotic orientation with her ethics. She writes erotic romance, but her books are always frankly and unashamedly about sex, because writing about sex helps her understand that fundamental part of her life better. She hopes maybe it does the same for her readers.
Over the many years since Emily became aware of her sometimes unbearable craving for spanking, ravishment, and all the shameful things that go with it, she has tried to come to terms with that craving in more ways than she can count. The first of the ways was by reading, voraciously, every piece of BDSM erotica she could find.
Eventually, she read "Story of O." As is reflected throughout her work, it changed her life, though the change has been gradual, and continues to this day. The idea that other women might share the lusts she has by turns been ashamed of and defiantly proud of, that a woman like the real Pauline Réage might write so beautifully of those lusts, and work them out so thoroughly and even pitilessly on a character, put Réage's famous pencil in her right hand. Or, to put it in the terms of EXPLORATIONS, which she considers her magnum opus, it put her left hand on the keyboard of her laptop and her right hand in her lap, if you know what she means. Emily started to write spanking stories.

A game between the sexes, a Dominant and submissive looking to win!!
Barbara Edwards has agreed to become part of the Osatia Agency, where she is trained how to allow her body to be used to bring pleasure to the male she is with and also is brought to the height of pleasure by her trainer Gene.
The Pretorian Guard is a historical training that goes back centuries it is the training of women by her Leo and when she has completed her training, she is than a Nupta, this is a very prized and highly acclaimed example of a female’s submission and a male’s dominance.
Barbara is sent on a very risky mission where she is to gain the attention of a certain French man known as Herrier, he is aware of the agency and the training that happens behind their doors, he approaches Barbara and he takes her into his circle where she is used and punished as and when he sees fit.
The organisation are very aware that he has many contacts and is also very important as he is also believed to have contacts within the Ostia Agency or possibly within the other agencies that believe they are also part of this age old training between women and their men, the art of Dominance and submission dating back centuries.
Davids wife has been kidnapped and when she appears at Herriers home it is with great trepidation that he has to watch her being used as one of the players in the game Herrier has decided to play with six other couples. They are some that are new to the sport that dates back to roman times and a few that have played the game at the annual championship.
Two people that have been sent to play the game are Jenny and her husband Henry they are in a D/s lifestyle and they are anxious about taking part in the games however, they know they are going to help Davids kidnapped wife Cymthia to gain her freedom.
This was another wonderful addition to the series the characters were very well written and the plot was complex and very different from the previous one so that once I started reading it I was instantly hooked and unable to put the book down until I reached the end.
I voluntarily received and review an Advanced Reader Copy
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing.

Wow this book was chock full of intrigue, plots, bluffs and double bluffs all stirred in with the usual hot erotic D/s theme. This story followed mainly two couples but DID have several other view points thrown in too. The author's excellent writing held it all together and not once did I become confused about who's 'head' I was in. I've not read every book in the series but had no problem engaging with the story or picking up who was who in this one.
Between the political power plays of various organisations and the sexual dominance games played on a Frenchman's lawn this is one twisty story with high heat levels.
This book contains power exchanges, humiliation and what some might consider cheating. I do think you need to have read a couple of the Bound for Service stories to fully appreciate the background story that leads to the drama and mayhem of this one. I enjoyed it and would happily recommend it to those looking for a well written, erotic read.

A game of Discipline.
The world is in trouble and now the good guy (?) wants to take down the bad guy. How dare he put out that video! Barbara Edwards and her leo Jean work toward getting in with the bad guy Herrier. There are other characters Cynthia, Jenny, Jessica, and their masters all working to save the world. This is as naughty as all of Emily’s books are but the story this series is telling is really good. Yes, you can read this as a stand-alone but it is so much fun reading the series. I liked this one the best. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

This is the sixth book in the Bound for Service series. In this world it is legal and acceptable to take young women to become submissive partners whether they want to or not. Barbara has been recruited for a special mission. She is to help save the world. Of course, she is kept mostly ignorant of the mission. I enjoy these books and I look forward to more.

Usually you can jump into an Emily Tilton story and find the plot and follow it from beginning to end. This story was very confusing and had lots of stories in the story. Too much going on with competitor stealing important information from Confidelia's files and their partner company Relicorp. Too me it was hard to figure out who was doing what. I like Emily Tilton's book so don't give up on her. I received a free copy of this book for my honest opinion.

This is the sixth book in the series but it can easily be read as a stand-alone. Barbara agrees to become a model at the Ostia Agency and learns that it is about more than just getting your picture taken. She will be trained by an agent. Will she be able to play the game and complete her mission? Fast-paced read with lots of drama and very steamy. I was hooked from beginning to end. I loved it!

Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters were interesting. Barbara signed paperwork thinking she is only doing modelling, Barbara found out that the paperwork she signed was for her to be submissive. It was hot and steamy, adrenaline rush and excitement.

What is going on? That is the question constantly on the reader's mind as new players are introduced into the storyline. The strategic game adds to the smoke that conceals the plot. It is any wonder when finality hits, the reader is left breathless.

Another book from this delicious serie, where the New Modesty world is being built.
In this one, we have another game, where dominants must handle their pieces and win the pieces of the others contestants.
With so many agents in desguise, is hard to tell how this game will end.
Language and mature contents. Very hot reading.

Ms Tilton delivers
Ms Fulton always delivers an enjoyable and naughty reading experience. In her word dominant man take young submissive women and train them to please but they also train them to serve an organization that hopes to save the world from economic collapse. Always a fun read.

This is an intriguing story and one at times I found difficult to follow. There is a lot of D/s in the story and sometimes dubious consent. It’s well written but you really do need to pay attention to who is who as it’s very easy to become confused.

I really enjoyed this one. The story line is ongoing so you must read all of the series. I found this series to be one of Emily Tilton’s best. Load of sex BUT a fabulous underlying story.

A complex story that at times I found hard to follow, but it does contain some very erotic games and scenes. Entertaining.

Great continuation!
It can be so much fun to see how an idea started in one time but actually is a continuation of a previous one. This game has been so fun to read!
