4.0

I really did enjoy reading this anthology, the stories were sensual and well written and I think they  nailed the femdom concept. I liked the fact that these stories treated the dom woman as a real person or as a complex human and not just a one dimensional being. I did enjoy the most emotional/psychological take on the relationships, showing that those women are much more than the stereotype of her, with the whip and the punishments, because there’s a lot more to them and the relationships they build with their subs.

That being said, it’s erotica and l really liked reading the sex involved, it was hot and enjoyable, but without being exaggerated or relying too much on fantasies. It felt real, that’s what I’m trying to say.
I also did enjoy that it’s not just the submissive men and the dominant women, but there’s women on women, two men and one woman, and so on. I felt like some stories were rushing to finish though, but overall they were great. I wished the book was longer honestly.
