Adrian Hunter

Hunter's stories are well-written and interesting, but certainly not for everyone. This is a collection of the stories which he published online, and which then brought him recognition as an outstanding writer of bondage erotica. The collection, though, is actually focused a great deal on tension and explanation of detail. The characters are well-writ and believable, but most are drawn from the same fabric: questioning why they want what they want, and how they got where they are. Detail-wise, Hunter's focus isn't where you might expect it to be in erotica---primarily, the graphic nature of different writings comes from devices and "costuming", or logistics, as opposed to intimate relations. In the end, this wasn't quite what I expected.… (altro)

Short 134 page novel told from three points of view: 1) Interpol Agent Sunday Briggs; 2) Paul Forte; 3) Becky.

Interpol Agent Sunday Briggs is a short, well-stacked woman who is investigating Paul Forte, formerly Pavel Fortunat, for activities involving internet gambling. Forte owns the Stratosphere in Las Vegas, and is, according to a tip, trying to take over the internet gambling market.

Paul Forte's real impact in the criminal business world involves running a specialty casino in the section of the Stratosphere that is supposedly closed. The specialty: a casino for wealthy gamblers with a taste for sadistic entertainment. For example: the drinks cart has a bound nude woman inside, the display statutes are actually real women, etc. A lot of naked and bound women, or bound in special uniforms, are on display and anything goes. The women: illegal aliens, mostly Russian, or women trapped in the legitimate casino, including a woman named Becky.

Becky and Jerry eloped to Las Vegas, to the casino known for "extending credit to anyone with a library card." Jerry lost big, and now Becky has to pay by becoming a slave in the special casino.

The winner of the SIGNY "Best Bondage Writer" award, whatever that is, certainly knows how to write. Unfortunately, the continuous lengthy descriptions of women being bound begin to become a little boring, though there is action. Despite that fault, the book is still an interesting BDSM novel.… (altro)
