It might sound like a stretch, but I almost feel that this book was written just for me. There's bondage, hysteria treatments, arcane sex toys, robotic pleasure contraptions, female dominance, and much more. I loved the character development, and some stories I wish didn't end! If you have any inclination towards BDSM or steampunk, I highly recommend this as a read.Published: July 4, 2011
Pros:
Plot and character development, unique stories, varied vocabulary, BDSM
Cons:
A few typos in the first few stories, but nothing unbearable

I didn't want to put this book down! I almost finished it the day I got it. D.L. King the editor did a wonderful job at selecting and editing the stories. This book is definitely worth looking into. I like it so much that I expect to read it again.

Great review, Twisted Finger! I stopped reading this book halfway through when I got my copy of Playing With Fire for review, but I'm really excited to pick it up again. I'm not normally big into female dominance, but I love love love steampunk. You did a good job describing how the stories fit you.
i sooooo want this book
Love the cover! Never have read much erotica. Love the review. Think I might need to give it a try. Been looking for some new reading material.

Oh, it's definitely worth looking into. I'd actually consider this one of the best works of erotica that I've ever read.
