My kindle has a few BDSM based stories I looked at this morning. The genre is as you’d expect,spanking, caning and tawsing with some bondage and sex thrown in for variety. I quite enjoy them and hark back to my own experiences of corporal punishment and bondage as I read.
Then I looked at two of my own stories, “Young again” and “Unleashing Morgan” which are heavy corporal punishment based with sex as the finishing touch. Both have bondage and sex in bondage and the protagonists have mostly happy endings.
So how did the Trikki Watson books stand up in comparison (considering I’m totally the wrong person to ask)?
Mine are longer reads and slower to ‘get going’ into the action. I thought I identified with my characters more and they had more substance. The actual strapping, caning and tawse action was also longer. They just didn’t get six of the best with ‘swish – crack- scream’ they got much more than that, descriptions of the leather meeting flesh, the heat of the discipline invading their genitals and the hot erotic feelings they had. They had ‘feelings’ from the bondage, from watching the scene, and I liked that.
Mine was a slower read to get into. Pure and simple.
The other books were very good though. I like the “Annie Bee” books – Annie Bee On Amazon – and I see a new one I’ll purchase soon. Her use of the tawse also sets her apart from ‘cane and spank’ type writers. As a keen participant of tawse play, and owning a few myself, I do enjoy her books.
So, “one handed reads” and Trikki Watson are possible but you need to find the place were the action starts. For some books it mage be 1/2 to 1/3 of the way into the book. In upcoming books the actions starts very promptly with a session that may be a one-hand-able read. Having said that, “Teaching The teachers” where Cath meets the strapping stool is totally worth waiting for (it is in final edit stage). If you’ve read up to that point and identify with Cath, her time on the strapping stool is special, not to mention the fun time when her boyfriend sorts out her itch.
Variety in all things – ‘Trikki
