REVIEW:

I found the foreword on this book very interesting. Not being part of the BDSM lifestyle, I was grateful for the explanation to that lifestyle before reading any of the stories. The foreword and understanding of the lifestyle is a must, in my opinion, before tackling BDSM as your reading matter. The reason for this is because without that understanding, the stories may very well have come across as perverted or wrong in some way to those people, like myself, who had no previous knowledge of what some people practise in their lives.

That said, here is my review.

Story 1: On Bended Knees – Canice Brown-Porter

The Dominant Evan has been training the submissive Morgan for four months now. Morgan, along with growing as a submissive and learning all she yearned to know about the BDSM lifestyle, has found that she has developed feelings for Evan. Her training comes to an end and, though she is glad that she's been a good student, she is also saddened that her time spent with Evan has come to an end. Morgan offers Evan the gift of her submission—but will he accept it and become her Lord?

Evan sends Morgan back to her home and instructs that she records all her feelings and emotions in a diary. She must show him all of her in these writings and obey all the instructions he sets out for her. He will know if she doesn't. The time spent alone without Evan is hard for Morgan—her longings and emotions are particularly well-drawn by Ms. Brown-Porter.

I enjoyed On Bended Knees for the understanding way Ms. Brown-Porter portrayed the lifestyle. I also enjoyed having a story to read as well as erotic content. On Bended Knees is actually a quite beautiful love story. Don't let the BDSM theme fool you there. Again, this is where the foreword was appreciated.

Beyond The Maze

Canice Brown-Porter
Time travel romance
Available from Freya's Bower
ISBN: 1-934069-10-8
June 2006

It is the year 2006 and Aubrianna Sheffield inherited Chadwick Manor Gardens from her mother's aunt. Many come and pay money to visit the area, especially the maze and gardens of the estate. Aubrianna finds the maze a place of tranquil peace where she can often visit. Sometimes after a long day, and still dressed in her ninetieth century apparel attire, she will pay the maze a visit. Chadwick Manor Estates had another owner in the year 1857. Lord Keane Hamilton Chadwick IV was considered a haughty lord who never tolerated disrespect. Of late he dreams of a certain woman but doesn't quite understand the meaning. On her way back to the house, Aubrianna finds a pair of skeleton keys, then suddenly finds herself in a dark mass only to be standing in front of Lord Chadwick. He wants to know what she is doing on his property, when she demands to know the same. She lets him know they are closed for the day but something is amiss when she sees him dressed in different attire than the present. Surely she not crazy, but Aubrianna has no idea of what has happened as she matches wits with the handsome man standing before her. It is a challenge that both are eager to play.

I thought Beyond the Maze was a sweet romantic story. The emotions alone captivate, and don't only transport Aubrianna into the past but the reader as well. The encounter between Aubrianna and Keane is very engaging and spins with sensational passion. Canice Brown-Porter crafts a tale that feels believable in everyway. The backdrop and characters are wonderfully sketched and leap from the pages. This is my first story by Ms. Brown-Porter and it promises not to be my last. For those who have yet to read this wonderful tale, you are in for a treat.
