Story of L
by Debra Hyde
Story of L recounts how Liv catches the eye of the infamous Domme Cassandra at a fetish club one evening. They meet while Liv is dealing with an urge that she refers to as the Void. What follows after is Liv's journey into submission to Cassandra and her transformation into L. Throughout the book, I'd say that Cassandra would definitely be described as difficult by most. She makes L jump through quite a few hurdles initially, but L is devoted and receives help at times from Cassandra's service submissive, Reese, and one of her friends, Quinn.
As someone involved in the kink lifestyle, I greatly enjoyed Story of L. This was a thoroughly interesting jaunt into the world of D/s with more realism than typically is afforded to such relationships. From Cassandra's first appearance, I was admittedly a bit put off by her demeanor and some of her demands, especially at such an early stage in their relationship. It didn't take long though to uncover how much of a romantic was buried close to the surface. I was extremely pleased with how intimate Cassandra and L's relationship truly was; I'm not a fan of cold, harsh Dommes who never drop that persona.
The story is well-written and moved at a fast pace with a good ratio of sex to plot. I do somewhat wish that more time was spent on Cassandra and L conversing together and building a bond. I didn't feel like the two of them really got to know about each other's lives. We were given some glimpses into L's work at the university and Cassandra's past as a Domme, but I would have enjoyed some more fleshing out of them both. Overall though, Story of L is an extremely enjoyable read that I'd strongly recommend to anyone interested in an accurate depiction of a D/s relationship.
