Pets: Bach's Story: Bach had never given much thought to owning a pet, but after losing his wife and children, he decides he's rattled around in his empty house long enough. He goes to Exotics, Inc., and he buys a human, the latest fad in the pet trade these days. Pani is everything he needs to ease the loneliness of widowhood: smart, mischievous, both looking and acting so much like a real child, that Bach can almost forget she's only a pet. At least, until she begins to do things that go beyond the subspecies intelligence scientifically accredited to the human animal. She speaks, she writes. When she draws out a picture of Earth's solar system, Bach has to face the realization that perhaps humans are more than just small, adorable, child-like animals. They might actually be a race of people in their own right.
Pets: Pani's Story:There is no panic quite like waking up in a strange house with no memory of how you'd got there- unless that strange house is also located on a planet inhabited by giants who look on humans as fascinating, child-like pets. For Judy, a successful, liberated woman, being forced into perpetual infancy is intolerable. But how to go about convincing her new 'Papa' that she is not a cute and clever animal, but a species of person in her own right. Stubborn and willful and absolutely determined to win back her freedom at any cost- and that includes at the cost of her bottom!
Note:This story is different from the other material offered in our age-play category. It has a very unusual sci-fi setting. It's darker with severe spankings, enema and anal play, and the ageplay is forced upon Pani until she comes to want it and him. Pets: Bach's Story is also written solely from Bach's point-of-view, while Pets: Pani's Story is written soley in Pani's point-of-view. But we absolutely fell in love with this novel - it's definitely very, very thought-provoking and unusual. Don't miss this one! It's a great value and a wonderful story.
In this two-pack, Bach's story is first, then Pani's. It was interesting to get both POV's due to the language barrier. This story had elements of non-con, age-play, pet-play, enemas, and harsh spankings. I must admit some parts were kinda hot!
By the end I was sad and angered for what Pani (Judy) went through. After returning to Earth, she became a shell of person. Before being kidnapped, she was an independent woman with a writing career. Upon her return, she spent two years in a mental ward, staring out a window all day, not speaking a word and being daily medicated for a complete psychotic break. Then after escaping the mental hospital, she lived as a homeless woman for another year, revisiting her abduction site at the park every morning waiting for the aliens to scoop her up again and return her to Bach/Papa. Was she really so attached to him at that point? Or was she truly so warped with Stockholm Syndrome? But, Bach and Pani do get their HEA.
The treatment of humans by the alien race was angering. But it was also thought provoking, as we can draw parallels to our domestication of animals and their breeding, etc. Overall, because of this, I will rate at 4 stars.

Definitely an interesting and entertaining pair of books. I think it was probably the most realistic alien love story I've ever read, and I loved that we got the same story from the aliens POV then the humans POV. The author was so clever to have the overall themes different for the same events. In Bach's book it seemed to me that the main struggle was one of the treatment of "inferior" beings. While in Pani's book the focus seemed to be centered around the communication aspect of needs and wants. The dual problems of a language barrier and a social barrier being overcome made the ending sweet indeed.
If you liked Bach's story than you will love this one has it is essentially the same story just from Pani's point of view. You can really see all the emotions that she went thru from once she was abducted to when she was placed with Bach and treated like a pet. She sure does get in to a lot of trouble and lots of spankings are delivered in this story as well. Awesome followup to say the least.
