Bondage Erotica. Stan, Jack and Mike set off for a week of hunting in the wilderness, but it's not just guns and backpacks that they bring along. Vacations like this require some nighttime entertainment too. As they've done in the past, they hire a pretty young female to service their sexual needs. This year it's Susan, a pretty blonde coed who's in need of some extra cash. Susan has been warned to expect some kinky sex, but it comes on all too fast for this wary newbie. Heading out for a remote hunting lodge, the company makes camp for the night in the out-of-doors, where the three men order Susan to strip out of her hiking clothes. If she wants the cash, the reluctant girl had better obey. Once the trio gets its first look at the voluptuous female, they name her 'Barbie', then take turns breaking her in. The next morning, Barbie is shocked to find herself hiking to the hunting lodge on the end of a leash...naked, collared, cuffed and barefoot. Joining her is another hired female, Toy, and two more hunters. Once at the lodge, both women discover that their week will include slave training in addition to all the straight and oral sex the men demand. As 'Barbie', Susan finds she can slip more easily into the role of submissive captive and begins to discover unexpected pleasure in the rough treatment. When the bound and collared Barbie is made to watch a helpless Toy get an introduction to anal sex, she's initially horrified by the brutal display. But seeing how Toy is beginning to enjoy it, the increasingly submissive Barbie decides to make a surprising proposal to her captors. What she wants is to get invited back for next year's hunting trip. But will baiting them with anal sex do the trick? It will break the men's long-standing rule of no repeats, but she's sure going to give it a try. Graphic sexual content.
I have quite a few items to say about Hunting Party. I need to read it again. But no sooner as I finished reading it than a friend ask to borrow it. So for now...5 stars for my gut response. When an author pushes through questionary non-consensual/abduction to delight my darker desires with actually words instead of insinuations, I am happy.
Lewis is one of my favorite erotic writers. The sex scenes in this were well done, and the plot was within the realm of believability. I plan to read a few of his other books since I liked this one so much.
Well written with just a few editing issues. This is a weirdly erotic and disturbing story of extreme bondage and objectification.
There are very few details or back story about any of the characters, which leaves the reader very "in the moment" and experiencing a level of anxiety along with the female characters. The men are experienced enough to be both detached and aroused, which is an interesting juxtaposition against the women's fear and anxiety (and arousal, too.)
Instead of descriptions about how the characters feel, most of the narrative is observational about what's happening and how it appears the characters feel. Since there are very few first person accounts, we're left to surmise, along with the characters, what's good, bad, enjoyable, etc. That said, the author does leave us with impressions of what each of the characters might be like during the weekend, and in normal life.
The author has a unique writing style and his male point of view make this a refreshing change from the romanticized versions of BDSM I often read. It might be fantastical, but it's definitely not romantic.
This book tells the story of a group of middle aged, male friends who together get to indulge in their wildest fantasies once a year. No m/m or ménage but lots of kinky exhibitionism and voyeurism! The story is extremely creative (BDSM) and very dirty (in a good way). However, there were parts of the book where it felt like I was reading straight porn and wished for more of a storyline. We don't get to know a lot about any of the characters since the focus of the majority of the book is on the actual sex acts. Just a little bit more character development and a glimpse into more of the character's thoughts would have earned this five-stars from me.
I REALLY enjoyed this book. I liked the mostly male POV, it was a very entertaining and somewhat frustrating place to read a story from. The writing, plot, internal and external dialogue were very good. The ending was ok, no big climactic drama, but still ended leaving you wondering a little. The only thing I disliked was the lack of description and details of the guys. I spent half the time reading this book trying to get some kind of visual in my head about who they really were, What their background was, what they looked like, etc.
Mr S.J. Lewis is a favorite author of mine, so I know that although the contents might include elements on the darker side of Erotica, his ability to tell the story in this particular way of his, I'm going to be enjoying it all the way, and once again I did on this one. I envy his characters and their courage to really live their fantasies for real, they are a huge turn on...
