!This book contains Kidnapping, Coercion, Group Sex, Public Sex, and Rough Sex.


What’s wrong with a little white lie or two when flirting at the bar? For compulsive liar Annette Waincott and her twin Janette, the consequences for a single drunken night is life altering. A cruel twist of fate puts Janette in Anton Volikov’s path and he mistakes her for Annette and kidnaps her – in what he thought was a play discussed the night before between him and Annette. He takes her to his mansion and holds her captive until Annette trades herself for her sister and becomes the first trainee in the newly established Pleasure House. Pretty Lies goes all the way back to the beginning of the world created in Guilty Pleasures and provides the backstory for some of the House staff as well as the establishment of the training house for submissives. Anton wakes up Annette’s desire to please him and she steals his heart, but events unfold between the trainers and the girls in the house that could destroy everything. This trip back in time is a treat for anyone that has read the other books set in the Pleasure House world (Guilty Pleasures, Broken Dolls, and Surrender), but, just like the others, it stands alone on its own and the others are not required to get satisfaction from the story. As with all of Kitty Thomas’ books, this is for the mature readers due to its dark erotic tones and themes, though it is more toned down compared to Kitty’s other works in the same world. From start to finish, I devoured this book in a day because I could not put it down.

Rapture by Moonlight

Author: Nobilis Reed Publisher: eXtasy Books ASIN: B003TU24E8 Published: 06/24/2010 Pages: Words: Formats: Kindle Edition Price: $2.99 CLICK TO PURCHASE

!This book contains Light Bondage.

Superheroes need love, too, and Nobilis tells a stunning story of such desire in the most desperate of heroines. Rapture's powers prevent any man from touching her; crippling pleasure is brought forth for whomever has the fortune (or misfortune) of making simple contact with her skin. A lone vigilante, Moonlight answers her pleading call, strips her of her Legion of Champions uniform, and uses his own secret weapon to neutralize her power.

The cover image is a little misleading, showing no hint of the superhero world or bondage play held inside, but it is enticing enough to draw in readers - it pulled my eyes straight to it, even though I was dead set on purchasing only one item (Ex Fumo, Gaudiam).

Rapture By Moonlight is a really quick and fun read. It had plenty of juice to hold its own, but still managed to leave the ending open for more. At the very least, it left me wanting more. I recommend this to anyone looking for a little light bondage, any superhero kink, or just a quick bite before bed.

Comfort Food

!This book contains NonConsent, Kidnapping, Reluctance, and Slavery.

Captivating. Haunting. Kitty Thomas writes a page turning story that can't be put down until the last word is read. Comfort Food exquisitely portrays the sensory overload we perceive to be a sensory deprivation and the sensory deprivation that is truly our need to exist in society. Five stars and two thumbs up, I would definitely recommend to any and all who enjoy a good book.

The Auction

!This book contains Non-Human Sexual Interaction and Slavery.

Many times, short stories of the erotic nature are quick reads for pure entertainment. They are quick, to the point, and often full of fluff between sex scenes, if there is a break once the action starts. When it comes to science fiction and fantasy shorts, all the great concepts are recycled and regurgitated with new character names and faces. Many authors attempt to blend these genres and the results tend to lean toward unrealistic story lines or horror-filled tales.

With The Auction, Kitty Thomas condenses her writing style into novella format and takes the challenge to combine erotic writing, science fiction, and fantasy. The end result is a success, completely surpassing the stereotypical genre mix. The Auction even goes a bit further, weaving in a theme of finding and accepting oneself.

Set in the far future in a lost colony, Ms. Thomas introduces readers to a civilization, secluded among wild creatures and monsters, that has lost all advanced technology. The colony begins anew, restructuring from books and remnant technology, and creating a super patriarchal society in which women are completely relieved of all freedoms and girls are sold at the age of eighteen to the highest bidder. A peace is kept between the wild world and the colony; the creatures allow the humans to live as they see fit, so long as everyone abides by the rules and remains inside set boundaries. Ms. Thomas explores what happens when an alien breaks this peace, enters the colony, and attends an auction to bid on the women.

The Auction follows Annabelle Walker, the first woman with the misfortune to be on the auction block purchased by the alien. Ms. Thomas delves into Belle's thoughts and the reader follows her journey from sold slave to run-away property to a content companion. Belle's experience pushes her beyond her greatest imaginings and forces a self-realization: "No matter where I went, I’d never escape who I was or what I wanted."

Ms. Thomas has a skill for pulling readers into her characters and in The Auction, her skill shines. In less than 20k words, Ms. Thomas offers the same page-turning addiction found in her full-length novels. Fans of the strange, the weird, and a good blend of science fiction and fantasy in their erotica will enjoy The Auction.

Awakening

Author: Kitty Thomas Publisher: Burlesque Press ISBN: Published: 08/26/2011 Pages: 33 (pdf) Words: 21,620 Formats: Adobe PDF, MobiPocket, ePUB, RTF, LRF, Palm Doc PDB, and TXT Price: $2.99 CLICK TO PURCHASE

!This book contains Mythical Non-Human Sexual Interaction and some NonConsent aspects.

How many of us watched Disney's The Little Mermaid and twisted it to our own tale? Or read the original stories and thought they could be done just a little bit differently? Kitty Thomas' Awakening is just that: a new twist on an old favorite.

Nerina is a headstrong and willful mermaid, two traits frowned upon in her society. She, like all merfolk, enjoys gazing upon pretty things, but she also enjoys exploring to find those pretty things. Her wayward wanderings get her caught in a fisherman's net and then the trouble begins. Mermaid fin is a delicacy on the dinner table, but Kyros has a plan more sinister than death: he wants to keep her and test a legend; he wants to seduce her and turn her fin into a pair of legs.

Ms. Thomas brings Nerina to life just as she does all her leading ladies; deep insight into her mind allows the reader to become her, feel her pain, confusion, disgust, and to understand her behavior in such a dire situation. Her transformation is more than physical and Ms. Thomas offers us a window seat to watch and experience the shift in Nerina's mentality as Kyros works his male magic on his captive.

Ms. Kitty has a talent for character depth and portraying the master/slave relationship in its many levels. Awakening is another accomplishment to this fact, even at just over 21,000 words. It was a quick read, but it was by no means a gloss-over tale. It does, however, falter from her normal dark tales; yes, it is a story of captivity, but it is more of a romantic adult fairy tale than it is of dark erotic fiction. I would recommend this to any fans and readers of the romance genre, and promote this as a Kitty Thomas Beginner-Book for those wanting a taste of Ms. Thomas' writing style without the heavy, more in-depth studies on the master/slave relationship.

Tender Mercies

Author: Kitty Thomas Publisher: Burlesque Press ISBN: Published: 05/06/2011 Pages: 92 (pdf) Words: 57,822 Formats: Adobe PDF, MobiPocket, ePUB, RTF, LRF, Palm Doc PDB, and TXT Now Available as Hardback! Price: $4.95 / $17.95 HC CLICK TO PURCHASE

!This book contains NonConsent, Anal Play, Kidnapping, and Slavery.

Fantasies are the physical dreams of our subconscious, acted out in the safety of our minds for pleasure. Sometimes the fun extends into the bedroom and sometimes beyond, into our lifestyles, and the label 'kinky' is slapped across our name. Some kink is as simple as a little dirty talk or a slight hair tug, but some goes so far deep in the bone that nothing short of 24/7 play will assuage the unspoken inner voice. Kitty Thomas has a skill of writing this inner voice and pulling forth the lives of her characters from the reader’s own subconscious mind and in her third offering, Tender Mercies, she does not disappoint.

Tender Mercies follows Grace Warner on her journey to fulfill her inner desire to be a 24/7 submissive. Her search for "something real" leads to a hard twist of fate and a harsh reality, both of which threaten to break her soul. She quickly finds herself at the mercy of a heartless man with no hope of escape. Ms. Thomas creates no illusions and means every word of her disclaimer; this human-slave tale is truly dark erotica as it is meant to be: unforgiving and real.

While Tender Mercies drags into the light the sadistic side of some men, it also pulls together the warmer side of life. At its core, Tender Mercies is a love story. Romantics at heart, like me, will fall in love with the book from the very beginning. Ms. Thomas opens with a prologue that brought tears to my eyes, and with each reading, the tears return. As the story unfolds, the grip of the words, the emotions of the characters, pulls harder and stronger against heart strings until the reader is completely enmeshed. Readers will learn along with Grace that being owned completely is not like a fantasy, not every man is what he appears, and desires should be fulfilled with care. I was enthralled and could not put my Kindle down; this is every bit the page-turning addictive story that I have come to expect from Ms. Thomas and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting reality from their fiction.

Night Gallery: EP Release Party

12/04/10: Curtain Club, Dallas w/special guest Meander

The streets of Deep Ellum echoed with rustling leaves and footfalls in the silence. Only when near a club entrance did any sound penetrate the chill air. This would be my second outing to the arts district of Dallas, but I could already tell that it was dying; it was empty of the crowds I had seen a year prior, which, I was informed then, was only a fraction of the night life that once occupied the area.

I listened to the loud click-clack of my heels on the cobbled sidewalk as my fiance and I left a near-deserted parking lot a block away from the club. Tattoo artists sat in glass windows looking forlorn yet hopeful as we passed their empty shops. I shoved my hands deeper into my jacket pockets and hurried my steps. There was something wrong in the quietness of the street and it unnerved me.

We arrived at the Curtain Club to a welcoming crowd of people out on the patio and the warm sounds of music leaking out the door. We were only a little late, missing the opening of One Red Martian. I admit that I was surprised with their music; what I had heard online fell extremely short of their live performance. If I happen to be free and available when they are playing, I will definitely check them out again.

After One Red Martian changed my mind, Thrown took the stage. I was really looking forward to hearing Thrown and they did not disappoint. They brought a crowd of their own and rocked the building so hard, the bar stools were moshing. It was a lively and entertaining show that I would drag anyone to see again.

Then came my reason for attending the club: Night Gallery. The band set up and I was thrilled to see the retro mic on stage, complete with its plush, bound Cookie Monster adornment (there is something so wrong but so right about the blue guy hogtied with electrical tape). As the opening voice track began, the floor in front of the stage was flooded with fans. I was hard pressed to get to the front, so I settled for a spot near the edge of the stage, right in front of the speakers. To me, this opening was new, but it was only my third Night Gallery Show. Voices, speech clips, movie clips, and sound bytes overlaid each other as the curtains pulled back and the lights came to life. Immediately they revved up the audience. People were singing along, filming, and snapping pictures. It was easy to see why this band has a growing fan base; they were full of energy, well rehearsed, and in complete control of the crowd. Hard hitting songs blasted through the speakers, slowing just enough to allow the softer side soothe away heartache. They had their set list perfectly organized to keep the fans mesmerized as Otter's syrupy voice slid through the room.

As Night Gallery ended their set, they thanked everyone for coming out, they thanked One Red Martian and Thrown for their support, and they invited everybody to hang around for Meander. Then, the curtains closed.

After Night Gallery cleared the stage, and while Meander disappeared to set up, I stood in line for a T-shirt and CD. The boys smiled as they autographed my CD case, gushing sincere gratitude. They are just a down to earth group hoping for a break.

I nudged my way through the crowd to admire the Curtain Club's newest addition to their wall: a painting of Night Gallery, an honor earned after multiple shows as headliner with over one hundred guests.

My fiance waited patiently in the corner until I returned. Arm in arm, we headed for the door. We cut out early in search of a late after-midnight dinner, sadly missing Meander's performance. Hand in hand, we left the warmth of the club for the cold empty street, riding the high of a wonderful concert.

I love reading Monocle, he seems to hit twisted nerves with nearly every work he writes. Eager for more, I purchased Through an Ethereal Lens. I could not be more thrilled with my second ever ebook purchase!
