Kink: Saskia Walker and Sasha White
By: 
These tales are anything but hardcore kink and barely register on the soft porn level. All that is missing is the cheesy blockbuster porn music in the background when you read the stories. They are after all a very easy read considering the word choice is of the eighth grade level. It took me relatively two hours to read the entire 'novel' only because I decided to take the time to try to read between the lines, to attempt to make myself excited with this lovely piece of erotica. I only found myself failing at that attempt.
The first story is not all together typical but it comes quite close. In the preface the author thanks their friends for the music knowledge of the mysterious backstage. To me there is no real mystery to it but at least the thanks are mentioned. The tale is about a single female deciding that she will sneak backstage to get an autograph for her ill friend and upon doing so, finds out that the star is gay and that the hired help is 'way cuter'. Through a flirty dance of kiss and don't tell, the blackmailing begins back and forth while each the roadie and the bodyguard have the fun job of finding out the real names of one another to make this something beyond a one-night stand. In the end she decides to torment him with a bit of bondage tape and spanking.
The second story is the better of the two for it touches on the relationship sides of kink, of bdsm. A troubled marriage is saved by the sudden realization that the wife enjoys masturbating in front of strangers! What a harlot! This in turn excites the husband who turns would-be master thus collaring his wife with many lust-filled acts of submission.
The sexual positions and word choice are typical and repetitive in both stories and are all together boring. The cover art is adorable but the title is misleading and unfortunately this novel is a let down. Perhaps both authors should take their chances at looking up what kink is before writing about it in a 'vanilla' scenario as they have done.
