Dangerous Thoughts, Erotic Short Stories

Rating:
Summary: I wasn't impressed.
Review: Artemis OakGrove and I have different opinions as to what is erotic and what isn't. Her lesbians are all mostly butchy, and she doesn't seem to care much for pretty feminine women, even as victims. To me her stories are a little too much realism, and not enough fantasy.

Summary: A Dark Side of the Leatherdyke World
Review: While Artemis Oakgrove's stories are very well written, the majority of her characters seem to enjoy the infliction of pain for its own sake, rather than to an end (i.e., sexual pleasure for both). She takes us to the extremes of bdsm, and makes those of us involved in bdsm examine the darkest corners of our desires. To a leather/bdsm novice, I would say: "It's not all like that." To the more seasoned, male or female, I would say: "Take a hard look at yourself through this book." Did I enjoy the book: not really. Was it worth my time: absolutely! Would I recommend it to others: yes!--review by Penny Duff (My friends don't call me Carol!)
