**4.5 stars**
I once watched a special on fetishes on National Geographic that featured couples living in alternative sexual lifestyles. One that really jumped out for me was the puppy play couples. This was puppy play. The girl slept in a cage, had these little padded hand and knee thingies, and had a muzzle on the whole time. It was... extreme. (link for all of those interested http://channel.nationalgeographic.com...).
I thought that this book was going to be THAT kind of puppy play. I avoided this book for a long time because of it.
When I finally got around to reading this book I was shocked at how little puppy play factored into their actual relationship. I mean, there are times when the couple get their puppy play on but I would call it, like puppy-play-lite. It was very palpable, even for a person who isn't turned on at all by this particular kink.
What did I think about this book? Honestly, this book was a very dark read for me. It featured abuse and had a very somber tone. The sex, when it did occur, was not particularly erotic (for my tastes) because it is so colored by deep emotional turmoil. What made this book a standout for me was the exceptional writing. These two authors had an outstanding collaboration. The writing was just exactly right. It conveyed the mood and the characters' mental state perfectly. As with all books that I love, I felt completely present in the story.
Another excellent book by these two authors. Thank you for making Lane and Derek's fetishes so accessible that they felt natural and beautiful.

Nice review, as always :] Curiosity killed me because I clicked the link and was a little too um, perturbed by the video thumbnail to actually click play >.< This book is pretty much the extent of any knowledge I have on puppy play, and I'm glad it was kept so light.
Yeah, they didn't get to any of the nitty gritty sex stuff in the video- but can you picture sex in that puppy outfit?!
Thanks hun!!
LOL! The clip isn't explicit but it is... odd.
Thank you! I agree- I would have missed out on this GREAT read.
Thank you! Yes, try this one please!! :D
Thanks so much sweetie!!
I just saw this- you go girl! ;)
But any horrific mental images aside, awesome review as always, my favorite dentist! :)
