Smashwords book reviews by Patrick Prescott
- Punish Me, Please Me
on May 11, 2011
Excellent stories that would hold up minus the erotic content, but that content makes them much more effective. She has much to say that leaves the reader pondering and reflecting beyond merely being aroused. They touched me.
- A Lady Pays Her Penalties
on May 11, 2011
An eye opener for novice readers in the world of BDSM. It was arousing and eminently memerable.

unexpected twist at the end.
- Second Chance Romance

A great erotice romance. Characters believable and identifiable.
- Lady O
on Aug. 17, 2011
A little too repetitive. Use ball gag, handcuff, lube gloves, use fingers or dildo, repeat with different names. Hard to keep a score card. At least make each character do different things so the reader can know the difference.
