Brat is set in London, and follows the efforts of the eponymous heroine, Natasha, to fulfil a fantasy that goes against everything she has been brought up to believe. She wants her bare bottom spanked, but discovers that in today's PC world this is not as easy as it might be. It is a wonderful spanking story, combining plenty of action with a wry humour, but those whose erotic tastes are restriction to CP should beware - Miss Birch's are broad to say the least, and her description more vivid and detailed that that of any other erotic writer.
