Kink (Heat) [Kindle Edition]

Exhibitionism, Bondage, Spanking... Two stories by two different authors share a common theme...

Don't let the title frighten you off - while the anthology Kink definitely lives up to its name, the kink its stories indulge in will be palatable to most erotica readers. Authors Saskia Walker and Sasha White have penned two tales that complement each other well, and while both stories enjoy a spicy edge, neither move into hard core BDSM.

~Sex, Lies, and Bondage Tape by Saskia Walker~

Sneak backstage at the end of the concert, get Clayton Warren's autograph for a friend, and get out - that was the plan. But the old adage `Best laid plans go astray' was never truer than when Kelly found herself hiding behind a clothes rack in the rock star's dressing room witnessing an encounter with his lover - his male lover!

Forgetting the autograph, she realizes she just needs to get out, and fast. With security hot on her tail, she makes a dash for it, only to be caught by the hunkiest bouncer she's ever seen... One look Tommy Sampson's abs, and she changes her plans once again. She has no intention of getting away from this sexy security guy - at least, not until morning!

Sex, Lies, and Bondage Tape is the first story I've ready by author Saskia Walker, and I know it won't be my last! Walker has created a story that is marvelously complex for an anthology, but never loses its focus. Although there is a side story in the plot, it is really a device to further the romance between our main characters, Kelly and Tommy, and Walker uses these supporting characters brilliantly without confusing the story at all. Instead, the story progresses at a natural pace, making the readers feel almost as if they are voyeurs themselves, indulging in their own bit of `kink'!

The romance between Tommy and Kelly is unconventional, most certainly, but make no mistake that it is a romance. Kelly has run from love for a long time, and makes a practice of loving and leaving the men in her life quickly. Tommy breaks down her barriers, and sneaks inside her defenses before he even realizes he wants more than a brief fling with her...

~Watch Me by Sasha White~

Beth loves her husband, she really does. She knows his promotion is good for them long-term, but the late nights and diminished sex life that goes along with it are starting to get to her. She would never cheat on Grant, but she wants to feel attractive again... When she catches the roofer on top of the house next door gazing at her through her bedroom window, it sparks something inside, and releases her inner wanton. A series of exhibitionist episodes ensue, until Grant catches her in the act and reacts in a way she never anticipated even in her wildest fantasies!

This is actually the second anthology I've read that included Sasha White, and I've been very impressed with her talent both times. With Watch Me, she does something very clever - she writes the first part of the book in such a way that the reader's feelings begin to mirror Beth's, the lead female character. We actually feel her boredom, her frustration, and her worry that she is less desirable. When Grant catches her in the act, the story kicks into high gear. His reaction and her punishment throw both Beth and the reader off kilter - the Grant we thought we knew becomes so much more!

This book was awesome. It has two wonderful stories in it. Watch Me by Sasha White and Sex, Lies, and Videotape by Saskia Walker.

Sex, Lies, and Videotape

Kelly Burton is at a concert trying to sneak backstage to get an autograph for her friend, who couldn't go to the concert. She sees a whole new side to rock star, Clayton Warren. Clayton's bodyguard catches her when she trying to leave the dressing room. Tommy Samson is one sexy bodyguard. Kelly is glad Tommy caught her and ends up spending the night at his hotel. They both think that it is going to be a one night stand, but they keep thinking about each other and they try to find each other again.

Watch Me

Bethany is feeling a bit restless. Her husband Grant has been working late a lot and Bethany is feeling a little lonely. Until she sees a roofer working on her neighbor's roof. She starts teasing men until one afternoon her husband makes an unexpected trip home to get some papers for work. Suddenly Bethany is getting a lot of attention from her husband.

"Sex, Lies, and Bondage Tape" by Saskia Walker. Following the Clayton Warren concert, Kelly Burton sneaks back stage to obtain an autograph from the rock star for her injured friend who could not attend. She quickly feels like a shocked voyeur as she catches the hunk with a gay lover. However bouncer Tommy Sampson assumes she is a groupie for the pleasure of anyone backstage. They soon share a kinky night of hard and soft rock and roll, but though she wants round two they failed to exchange information.

"Watch Me" by Sasha White. Most people use coffee to wake up in the morning; Bethany Mack prefers sex, but her spouse Grant has been too busy so he neglects her carnal needs. Though she loves Grant, she begins to perform bad girl acts for strangers. When Grant learns of her performance for a roofer and a bus passenger, he becomes upset and determined to punish his wife by keeping her sexually satisfied whenever he is home because she will only be the bad girl for him.

The sex is fiery kink as the female protagonists in both contributions know what they want and go after their desires. The men are willing partners. Though some of the scenarios seem implausible like the bus (then again there is the When Harry Meets Sally restaurant scene), fans of erotic romance will enjoy the kinkiness of the SW twice the fun (and heat).
