Rating: Summary: Beautiful, inventive and erotic! Review: Blue: The Color of Desire is one of the few novels that don't illustrate BDSM in a negative manner. The story is tantalizing - and the S&M parts drip with sensual prose in their brutal facade. Blue is quite a wonderful protagonist. Her love for her master helps her endure the painful training process. At the end of each session, she is rewarded with affection and enormous pleasure. This novel - along with Breaking the Girl and The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty - is a favorite of mine. Erotica has become one of my favorite guilty pleasures, and I shall pull this wonderful book out of the shelf whenever I need a guide to inventive eroticism.

Rating: Summary: Delicious Review: Deliciously naughty and sexy to read, short and sweet and mean and everything else you want a good BDSM book to be. This one's a tie with 'Many Kisses' for my favorite modern BDSM book ever!
Rating: Summary: Blue: The Color of Desire Review: If you enjoyed The Marketplace series, you won't enjoy this.
Rating: Summary: excellent read Review: intense ... simple ... complex ... tortured and incredible. In his own words..... "when did I cease to be the woman who offered herself and become simply yours?" such style ... such a perfect package to be kept under the mattress to dream on .... making a girl want more..... more...... please more
Rating: Summary: Excellent Review: Patrick Linney is one excellent writer - I wish I could write something like this. It's tantalizing, crazy hot, poetic, and fascinating. Dominance is such a poorly handled subject by most writers, but this one's got it just right.
Rating: Summary: Not into pain Review: Premise of the book centers around a woman and her relationship with her "master". She literally writes her fantasies on her body and eventually paints all her bodyparts blue. When she visits her "master" he reads her fantasies and then binds/tortures her in some fashion. This includes such things as whipping, spanking, caning, hot wax, electrodes, clothes pins, body piercings, etc. It only results in her "pleasure". They don't have a physical relationship. The only relationship they have is him inflicting pain and humiliating her. Bottomline, if you are into S & M like this, you'll probably like it. If your version of S & M is more along the lines of playful spankings before a man and woman have sex, you won't.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic Review: Short and sweet and to the point, this is what S/M is all about to me, the desire and the lust and the joy of domination/submission and pleasure of consensual pain.
Rating: Summary: HOW TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT THIS BOOKS FOR YOU Review: THE WAY THE STORY IS WRITTEN IS UNIQUE-A TEACHER (MASTER) AND "BLUE", THE STUDENT (SLAVE),FOR A FEW HOURS A WEEK EXISTING TOGETHER IN A HIGHLY AROUSING FANTASY WORLD INCLUDING S AND M AND BONDAGE.I THOUGHT THE BOOK WAS WELL WRITTEN, BUT HERES THE BOTTOM LINE- IF YOUR LOOKING FOR SOMETHING WITH A SUPER IN-DEPTH PLOT WITH ONLY PARTS OF THE BOOK BEING SEXUAL, IT MIGHT NOT BE WHAT YOU WANT, BUT IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A NEAT STORY WITH TONS OF HOT SCENARIOS AND LANGUAGE THEN THIS IS A BOOK YOUR GONNA WANT TO READ. BY PAGE 25 I HAD TO PUT THE BOOK DOWN AND, UH, TAKE A BREAK. ALL I CAN SAY IS IT'S A HOTT STORY AND ID RECOMMEND IT.
Rating: Summary: A tremendously exhilarating read Review: There is a glut of [bad stories] out there that present a completely ridiculous and unrealistic view to the 'vanilla' world outside of the lifestyle that some of us embrace daily. This is not one of those books - this presents a completely true world, a believable scenario that I think not only helps us kinky folk dream, but gives us something that we can strive toward. Honest, moving, and sometimes emotionally jarring. These are two real people, in a real relationship, not the cardboard cutouts that we don't seem to be able to escape in this genre.Parts of this often read like a page from my own life, and the other parts are what I want to live. Thank you, Pat Linney - you've given us a wonderful new voice in the world of BDSM erotica, one that I pray will be heard again and again for years to come...
