Another Great Review for On Bended Knees!

And this one is from Two Lips Reviews! Read the entire review by clicking on the preceding link for Two Lips Reviews. Below is what she had to say about On Bended Knees and the foreword (which I also wrote for both BDSM anthologies).

Pages: 177
Series: Book Two
Reviewer: Victoria
Heat Level: BDSM, whipping, forced abduction, anal sex,
Rating:
Six stories revolve around male doms of differing times, places, and circumstances. What interconnects each to the whole is the beauty behind giving each submissive a single rose. What color will each rose be? How does its significance factor in the relationship between each man and his woman? How does each dominant lovingly show his submissive the way to ecstasy?

Canice Brown-Porter’s On Bended Knees gives us the seductive story of Morgan and Sir Evan. Morgan is a submissive who has almost completed her training with Sir Evan. Dreading the final goodbye, she wonders if she will be the sub Sir Evan will decide to collar. Sir Evan isn’t ready to let Morgan go just yet - he’s got one final scene which will push her boundaries, deciding once and for all if he will collar her to him for all eternity.

Victoria's overall review: I enjoyed some of the stories more than others in this anthology. In my opinion, the best novellas were the first and last ones. I enjoyed the way Sir Evan pushed Morgan beyond her boundaries, which made me rethink her foolish assumptions. The last story got me to think beyond the bedroom, looking at a mature couple and how they have adapted their relationship over the years. The heat rating in this review is deceptive because some stories were scorching (first and last), while others were tame in comparison.

I did like the informative BDSM article that preceded the novellas which explained BDSM, D/s, and power exchange situations very well.

Again, On Bended Knees is the first story in the anthology, and I wrote the "BDSM article" she references here.
