I have 19 years in the lifestyle, am both a service and bedroom submissive, and have been with my Master for five years.\u003cbr\u003e2. I loved The Secretary, thought the Beauty series was ridiculous but fun, have a favorite scene in O (pillars feature prominently!), and wish I could live in the Marketplace (can I be Robin please?)\u003cbr\u003e3. I think Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns; Conquer Me; and SM 101 should be mandatory reading.\u003cbr\u003e4. I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE both book and movie versions of 50 Shades as well as the movie, The Pet. Not only are they HORRIBLE representations of something very much NOT lifestyle, they are dangerous to follow. I am not a fan of using the word literally for everything, but they are LITERALLY DANGEROUS!\u003cbr\u003e5. I am not a big fan of serials. I don’t tend to watch TV shows until there are several seasons out (or they all drop at once, blessings to Netflix). I want my story NOW.

It related these books to 50 Shades (which I think does Velvet Guild a great disservice), and for that reason alone, I passed. I had a brief glimmer of hope but was afraid of being let down yet again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Episode Four came out, I saw a review that said Velvet Guild was a “…terrific explanation of the BDSM lifestyle…”. Remembering how crushed I was after the same B.S. for The Pet and 50 Shades, again, I passed.

It doesn’t really matter that I like a book if what you like is different. For that reason, I am going to share a bit about me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. I have 19 years in the lifestyle, am both a service and bedroom submissive, and have been with my Master for five years.\u003cbr\u003e2. I loved The Secretary, thought the Beauty series was ridiculous but fun, have a favorite scene in O (pillars feature prominently!), and wish I could live in the Marketplace (can I be Robin please?)\u003cbr\u003e3. I think Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns; Conquer Me; and SM 101 should be mandatory reading.\u003cbr\u003e4. I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE both book and movie versions of 50 Shades as well as the movie, The Pet. Not only are they HORRIBLE representations of something very much NOT lifestyle, they are dangerous to follow. I am not a fan of using the word literally for everything, but they are LITERALLY DANGEROUS!\u003cbr\u003e5. I am not a big fan of serials. I don’t tend to watch TV shows until there are several seasons out (or they all drop at once, blessings to Netflix). I want my story NOW. I don’t want to have to wait until next week much less next MONTH!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith that out of the way…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI came across Velvet Guild when Episode Three was about to come out because Amazon and Goodreads both thought I would find it interesting. It related these books to 50 Shades (which I think does Velvet Guild a great disservice), and for that reason alone, I passed. I had a brief glimmer of hope but was afraid of being let down yet again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Episode Four came out, I saw a review that said Velvet Guild was a “…terrific explanation of the BDSM lifestyle…”. Remembering how crushed I was after the same B.S. for The Pet and 50 Shades, again, I passed. I did, however, sign up for Ninya’s newsletter, thinking I might get a better sense of who she was and what she did or did not know. My desire for relatable reading material being stronger than my self-preservation, apparently.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Episode Five was about to come out, it happened to coincide with my considering trying Kindle Unlimited. When I saw all the episodes were free on KU, I figured I would risk my heart (but not my money).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI reluctantly read the first episode, then I read the second, then discovered my husband was waking up as I finished Episode Five.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen I went and bought them outright, and preordered what Amazon would let me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHoly Shit!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe characters had qualities I have OR people I know have. I related with not one or two but several characters. I have felt the feelings Ninya describes, and feel her words were sometimes precisely what I might have said. I identify with the silence Aimee talks about. I identify with the life and struggles and choices of the single mother.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-content reviewText review-text-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\" aria-expanded=\"true\" data-hook=\"review-collapsed\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-content reviewText review-text-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\" aria-expanded=\"true\" data-hook=\"review-collapsed\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI would give just about anything to play with Jagger (who is admittedly too good to be true but is MUCH better than the sexy billionaire trope ::insert gagging noises here::).

Little hints here are there, until you see the threads pulling together. It is delicious.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinally, I love that it is well written. I am not stumbling over lousy writing, poor grammar, and sloppy punctuation. As both a writer and an editor, so much of what COULD be fun or interesting ends up being a chore to slog my way through.

It doesn’t really matter that I like a book if what you like is different. For that reason, I am going to share a bit about me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. I have 19 years in the lifestyle, am both a service and bedroom submissive, and have been with my Master for five years.\u003cbr\u003e2. I loved The Secretary, thought the Beauty series was ridiculous but fun, have a favorite scene in O (pillars feature prominently!), and wish I could live in the Marketplace (can I be Robin please?)\u003cbr\u003e3. I think Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns; Conquer Me; and SM 101 should be mandatory reading.\u003cbr\u003e4. I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE both book and movie versions of 50 Shades as well as the movie, The Pet. Not only are they HORRIBLE representations of something very much NOT lifestyle, they are dangerous to follow. I am not a fan of using the word literally for everything, but they are LITERALLY DANGEROUS!\u003cbr\u003e5. I am not a big fan of serials. I don’t tend to watch TV shows until there are several seasons out (or they all drop at once, blessings to Netflix). I want my story NOW. I don’t want to have to wait until next week much less next MONTH!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith that out of the way…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI came across Velvet Guild when Episode Three was about to come out because Amazon and Goodreads both thought I would find it interesting. It related these books to 50 Shades (which I think does Velvet Guild a great disservice), and for that reason alone, I passed. I had a brief glimmer of hope but was afraid of being let down yet again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Episode Four came out, I saw a review that said Velvet Guild was a “…terrific explanation of the BDSM lifestyle…”. Remembering how crushed I was after the same B.S. for The Pet and 50 Shades, again, I passed. I did, however, sign up for Ninya’s newsletter, thinking I might get a better sense of who she was and what she did or did not know. My desire for relatable reading material being stronger than my self-preservation, apparently.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Episode Five was about to come out, it happened to coincide with my considering trying Kindle Unlimited. When I saw all the episodes were free on KU, I figured I would risk my heart (but not my money).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI reluctantly read the first episode, then I read the second, then discovered my husband was waking up as I finished Episode Five.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen I went and bought them outright, and preordered what Amazon would let me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHoly Shit!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe characters had qualities I have OR people I know have. I related with not one or two but several characters. I have felt the feelings Ninya describes, and feel her words were sometimes precisely what I might have said. I identify with the silence Aimee talks about. I identify with the life and struggles and choices of the single mother.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-content reviewText review-text-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\" aria-expanded=\"true\" data-hook=\"review-collapsed\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-content reviewText review-text-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\" aria-expanded=\"true\" data-hook=\"review-collapsed\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI would give just about anything to play with Jagger (who is admittedly too good to be true but is MUCH better than the sexy billionaire trope ::insert gagging noises here::). I sense the danger in some situations before the author reveals it, because we have all dealt with one of THOSE “true dom” nutjobs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI love that this story talks about the different ways people might find and live this lifestyle, and NONE of them are because someone was abused as a child, or tricked, or kidnapped, or somehow working out their mental health issues.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI love that the books show both sides, and can’t wait until other facets are included (I sense them coming!) to see those facets shine through as just as valid as the “sex play” parts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI love that the scenes are realistic, (no hanging anally from protrusions on a wall) sexy, and aren’t filled with ridiculous euphemisms for the human body.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI love the sense of weaving, how you just know some of the stories will come together, but without being slapped in the face with it. Little hints here are there, until you see the threads pulling together. It is delicious.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinally, I love that it is well written. I am not stumbling over lousy writing, poor grammar, and sloppy punctuation. As both a writer and an editor, so much of what COULD be fun or interesting ends up being a chore to slog my way through.
