erotica: 4/5
story: 4/5
An anthology with a central theme of "rough sex" is bound to raise some eyebrows among the fans of erotica. "Rough Sex" is often associated with Leather or hard-core BDSM stories but in this book the "roughness" is more about the character's relationships than the sex.
Sir Jaerl's story "The Deal" is about a leveraged buyout meeting between an older man and a younger woman. The main characters fight to determine who is the master and who is the slave in a scene of rough sex. The writng is a fast-paced action drama and soft-core BDSM.
Stella Kingston's "The Vacation Whore" is about a woman who spends her weekend with a man she has met for the first time at a tropical island. Carla is afraid Max will not find her attractive. He is a man of action and not many words who leads her into sexual encounters where he dominates. In one scene, they wade into the water and surreptitiously make out in the midst of other swimmers and beach-goers. Max is deliberate with his seduction of Carla while he drives her to a rousing climax.On the last day of her stay, he has a quicky and realizes that he hasn't satisfied her completely. Although compliant until then, she hints that she might leave. Max relents and finds a way to please her. Although Max is dominant throughout the story, Carla gets her way.
Surrender the Wolfe by Victoria Foxxe is a contemporary takeoff of a familiar fairy tale. The main character is telling a story of a weekend rendeous with a man who possesses her more deeply than any relationship she has had before. He devours her so completely that she becomes transformed in an intense session of dominance and submission, pain and sex. The transformation makes her into a different person in the end.
Jungle Fever by Sara Pierce is a detailed encounter of two mercenaries who have to relieve their sexual tension with a late night session of rough sex in a shower. The characters show no love as they find a release of their pentup desire. It was a little difficult to follow the highly-detailed action and the characters seemed a little too one-dimensional like action heroes. Nevertheless Pierce brings them to the hint of a romantic conclusion.
Sudden Chemistry by Delilah Fawkes is about two college students, the football quarterback and a geek, who study chemistry together one evening in the girl's bedroom . The jock is itching to go to a party and pick up another mindless "cheerleader" but he really wishes he could meet a take-charge woman. He soon discovers that his study mate fufills his femdom fantasy. Although the method that he is subjugated is a little contrived, the couple engages in an evening of intense sex that suggests a possible romantic ending.
Comparing the differently themed stories is like comparing apples to oranges. The rough sex they have becomes a device for establishing or reinforcing the characters' relationships. Some readers might enjoys the erotic action with different settings and limited plot, while other readers might expect more. Either way, the anthology persents an interesting samplers of the author's writing.

Fetish Sex by Violet Blue
http://amzn.to/s7Lq2L
non-fiction with selected short stories by Tom Roche
erotica: 4/5
information: 4/5
The book Fetish Sex by Ms. Violet Blue presents the subject in two parts: the first is a discussion about the psychological and social aspects of fetishes, the second part is a catalog of the popular sexual fetishes.
In the first part of the book Ms. Blue discusses how adjust to fetishes from the point of view of a couple, such as how to recognize a fetish in yourself or your partner and how to integrate it into the relationship. Ms. Blue takes a sex-positive direction which can be summed up (briefly) as: acknowledge it in yourself or in your partner and work it into the relationship.
The second part of the book is a description of popular fetishes that the reader can check for a match. If there is a fit, the reader learns how engage themselves or their partner into the fetish. Some fetishes are described only briefly, while others are presented with extensive detail.
Who is this book for? If you are in a stable relationship but are curious about how to spice up your sex life, or you discover that you or your partner has an interest in a fetish, this book may have useful advice and information. If your relationship is unstable, adding a fetish element to the sex may exacerbate the instability. The book provides useful references for obtaining additional information and help.
Ms. Blue's writing style is chatty and informal like her talks on sexuality. Although the book is not a scholarly treatment, there are many useful resources on fetish topics. The gay and lesbian Leather scene and Gothic fetishes are not covered in detail. Although the author seperates fetishes from BDSM, many fetishes (such as role-play) often involve BDSM activity. The book covers BDSM conventions only from a general perspective.
Fetish Sex introduces individuals and couples to the erotic rewards of sexual fetishes. The direction of the book is positive and readers might find Blue's easy to read description of many popular fetishes interesting.
Reviewer received a free advance copy in exchange for the review. I received a draft copy with formatting problems which I communicated to the author.
