This was my first venture into the world that is Ellora’s Cave Publications. It’s a “quickie”, about 58 pages. The writing is rather clear, the plot very simple, though a little Harlequin-ish at times (ie: The “I’ll take one night with him if that’s all he’s offering and I’ll cherish it forever because I’m just going to assume that all he wants is sex and can’t possibly love me at all, ever!” theme.) The dialog gets a little cheesy, but, thankfully, the author doesn’t use silly euphemisms for body parts. The light BDSM scenes were hot, drawing out the tension in the story. The sex was pretty hot, too, but it didn’t quite live up to the tension built up by the earlier scenes; it was just too quick. There was a definite overuse of the word “aquamarine” to describe the hero’s eyes and the ending was a bit too pat. It came off as too much high-schooler fantasy. Even so, it was a fun and sexy read!http://iheartpaperbacks.wordpress.com/ ( )

This is a three story book from McCray centered about BDSM as if you couldn't tell from the picture. (Got a lot of interesting looks at the gym while reading this one, let me yell ya!)Anyway, I loved the first story which centers around the hot, hunky boss who sells his company to the mousy assistant who has wanted him for the years she worked for him. The second story (connected by light characters in the first story) delves us deeper into the BDSM world. Being a "take charge" person myself (orange for those that took that personality test) I had a tough time with some of the submissive stuff. I can see where that might be ok for those that can decide to give up control to that other person but I have never been sure I could do that so reading about it makes me squirm (in a good or bad way? who is to say). The third story takes us even deeper into the control issue with giving it up to a complete stranger. The sex, like all of the stories, was hot but I thought this one ended a bit abruptly. All in all though, hot sex and some interesting lessons learned about BDSM! ( )
