Samantha is a woman of restrained fantasies. Growing up, people told her it wasn't good that she had two protagonists tied up in a cage in a suspense story. She put it away and concentrated on her schooling and being the good girl, though inside she had dark fantasies. Then she meets Peter in one of her graduate classes. He's like a hero from a romance cover and the other women in the class jockey for his attention, but he sits next to her. Then she gets what all the others want- a date with him. They go out for pizza so he can help her understand why the professor gave her a "B" grade and him an "A". When she understands it's about giving the professor what they ask for, nothing more or less, she accepts it and they talk. She accepts a real date with him. It ends with him telling her he wants to make passionate love to the woman inside of her that she's restrained for so long. She tells him not now, maybe sometime.

Peter explains to her later that he's a Dominant and he'd like her to submit to him and free herself as well as giving over her pleasure to him. Will Samantha give into her deepest desire? Can she? More importantly, will she ever admit to what she truly wants?

Diana Hunter has created a short story that shows how some women know from a young age that they're different. She doesn't belittle what a submissive is nor does she give the reins to only the Dominant. Ms. Hunter has given us a story of passion, love, and submission that calls to anyone who's ever wondered what it'd be like to submit to another, to entrust them so completely that their pleasure is also your own. What a wonderful short story about the coming of age sexually of Samantha. This truly is about the Learning Curve - the one that happens sexually as we learn our deepest desires.

Table for Four

Is it possible for a couple who are happily married with a slightly boring sex life, to have a change in their lives so great that it makes them more than who they thought they were? It is possible to love more than one person at a time? In this story, Table For Four, you get to see not only a glimpse into the world of what's known as vanilla sex, but also into the world of dominant/submissive.

For Lissa and David, they are deeply in love. They've been together for a long time and though they're compatible in every way, in one way they're not. Lissa wants to be submissive, but her husband can't do that. He respects her so much, though some of the thoughts he has, he just can't think of himself doing to his own wife. David sometimes wishes his wife would pleasure him orally, but due to his respect for her, he's never asked her. So what happens to change their lives?

In come Adora and her husband, Richard. A chance meeting at a busy restaurant begins a roller coaster ride into pleasure, sharing, and in the end, learning that you can love more than one person. This story walks you through how these two couples slowly walk through a new relationship, one of sharing each other's spouses for physical pleasure the other just can't provide. Yet, as this happens, Lissa and David discover that their love for each other is growing as well.

I've got to admit, this story had me from the moment it started. I could relate to both David and to Lissa. Each of us has areas in our sensuality that we want to explore. This tale allows you to see both sides, one which might be a bit tougher for some people to enjoy and others who might need the softness of love. Diana Hunter has truly out done herself with this book. She's given both sides of the equation and shown how love can truly be with trust and a self reliance. Kudos for crafting a story that makes one want to take a step out of the normal in our lives and experience something a bit more. It indeed makes us richer for the sharing.
