This book was a gift from my first Dominant, a gesture that felt both intimate and significant. As soon as I opened the cover, I was swept away into its world, absorbing every word in a single day. I found myself deeply resonating with Elizabeth, the protagonist, as her struggles and desires mirrored many of my own. Each sentence felt alive, with her thoughts and feelings leaping off the pages like vibrant colors in a painting. There was a certain fervor in my reading, an urgency to connect with her journey and understand the complexities of her character. The way she expressed vulnerability and strength simultaneously struck a chord within me, inviting me to reflect on my own emotions and experiences. It wasn’t just a book; it was a powerful exploration of identity and desire that stayed with me long after I closed the cover.
I highly recommend this book to anyone in the lifestyle. It offers a profound exploration of identity and desire, capturing the complexities of relationships in a way that is both relatable and thought-provoking. The protagonist's journey resonates deeply, reminding us of the powerful connections we can forge with ourselves and others. It's an engaging read that lingers long after you've turned the last page.
Excerpt From:
~Elizabeth McNeill - 'Nine and a Half Weeks: A Memoir of a Love Affair'
"By the time the utter predictability of my orgasm sank into my brain, it had, of course, long been familiar to my body. There was no mistaking the power this man had over me. Like a well-made windup toy, whenever he set me in motion, I came. Moods of wanting or not wanting to make love were moods I remembered from a book. It was not a matter of insatiability but one of inevitability of response. He did what he did, and then I always, inevitably, finally came. Only the preludes varied."
