Cajun Blue by Dominique Adair
She knew that with her new job she'd have to be discreet about her submissive tendencies, so her invitation to an exclusive B&D party was just what she needed and wanted. Once at the party her friend Ty tells her he has someone he wants her to meet, she just hopes he's as hot as the doorman that had caught her attention. When the man she assumes is the doorman comes up to her and proceeds to show her how much she wants him, she submits to their desires, knowing it's for only one night. She hates leaving him, but she has a new life waiting for her in New Orleans.

He was in Columbus wrapping up a million dollar contract along with his business partner Peter. If Blue had his way, he wouldn't have been there at the party, but maybe he'd find someone who'd interest him. While he's outside, he sees a woman who not only catches his eye, but also steals his breath away. He has to have her, she calls to the place deep inside of him. However, will he get to keep her past one night, that's the question.

Love and Kinks by Madeleine Oh
Jane wondered why the things Alan did and wanted to do to her turned her on, and made her want more. She questioned herself and Alan. Weren't these things wrong? Were they sick for wanting this? The longer she was with him, the more she wanted to submit sexually to him. Could this be the man, who would fulfill all the private dreams she had been afraid to give voice to?

Alan had been looking for that perfect woman who would and could submit to him, and then he met Jane. She seems to be the answer to his dreams and hopes. Is he pushing her too fast or can this be the one? He loved her sexuality and that she put her trust in him. He was falling in love with Jane. Now he just had to make her understand that they were meant for each other.

South Beach Submissive by Jennifer Dunne
Sassy D was sent on assignment to check out the very exclusive, Briar Rose Dating Service, for her paper, the South Beach Sun Daze. After saying she was an experienced submissive, she was now ready to go to the party. She hadn't told any one that she was a gossip columnist but a secretary. While at the party, she meets Michael, a Dom who will take her places she's never known she wanted to go. After spending the night with him and going to the brunch the next day, she knows she can't tell him the truth, he'd never believe her. Could she keep him after her secret comes out, or will she loose him forever?

Michael was only at the party to talk to friends who knew the real him, and to watch some of the scenes. He wasn't looking for a permanent submissive. When he spots her across the room after the candle scene, and goes to talk to her, the sparks begin to fly. The more he talks to her, the more he wants her. Taking her into one of the private rooms, he learns she's never submitted before, and informs her that trust is essential to any B&D relationship, no matter the length of it. When he finds out she's a gossip reporter, he has a decision to make. Can he trust her to keep his and his friends anonymity or is she out for her own gain?

Ms. Adair, Ms. Oh, and Ms. Dunne have written stories that show women who are willing to give their submissive side a chance to grow and know themselves better. That, even though they are submissive, they are not door mats, but strong independent women who find their one man who brings out the side of them that only that man can. These characters are loving, caring and honest in their feelings for each other. When the readers read these stories, they won't want any disruptions. These aren't heavy B & D stories, even though they have that tie in, but these are more about the caring side of a B & D relationship. I highly recommend this book.
