Surrender: Erotic Tales of Female Pleasure and Submission

Bondage, spanking, sex parties, power play and more, all in one extra-kinky book collected by editrix extraordinaire Rachel Kramer Bussel. The stories of Surrender showcase the fantasies and deepest wishes of women who love to be blindfolded, bound or used for a lover's pleasure.

Whether in a hotel room, dungeon or even at a deli with instructions from the right dom, these women go deep into the heart of submission to experience the thrill of physical and mental surrender. A woman discovers that "Pink Cheeks" is more than just an online nickname in Fiona Locke's story, while Gwen Masters asks and answers "How Bad Do You Want It?" Alison Tyler's "The Hardest Part" exudes the powerful eroticism that anticipation of the next hard smack brings. Surrender yourself to these tales of bad girl submissives who ache to be punished.

With stories by Donna George Storey, Teresa Noelle Roberts, Emerald, Lolita Lopez, Terri Pray, Alison Tyler, Jacqueline Applebee, Tess Danesi, Shanna Germain, Rachel Kramer Bussel, Elizabeth Coldwell, Thomas S. Roche, Noelle Keely, M. Christian, Matt Conklin, Amanda Earl, Dominic Santi, Isabelle Gray, Justine Elyot, Fiona Locke, Gwen Masters, and Clancy Nacht.

Good BDSM erotica makes us understand all the emotions that can come into play when, well, playing: there can be uncertainty, nervousness, fear, excitement. Each of the 22 stories in Surrender are blazingly hot and because they illuminate some aspect of submission. The authors of the stories understand the art of submission and the thrill of surrender, whether thats personal space, sight (“Without Eyes” by Terri Pray) or culinary choices (“Lunch” by Elizabeth Coldwell).What the women here want is to give up part of themselves to gain something else. They may still be skittish, but overcoming their fears, surrendering to them, yields beauty, pleasure and, in its way, power.
