Is your idea of couples' therapy a blindfold and a length of white rope? Does your Emergency Preparedness kit contain an extra set of handcuff keys? If you thrill to fantasies of restraint, these are the stories for you: 21 erotic adventures from the dirty minds of Thomas S. Roche, Rachel Kramer Bussel, and others. In Ayre Riley's breathless "All Tied Down," a girl named Gracie discovers that her "good-guy" boyfriend has read her journal and knows her every naughty wish. Marilyn Jaye Lewis's "Dinner at 8" is a socialite's trip to the dark side: an adulterous hour in a cheap Brooklyn hotel at the cruel mercies of her working-class lover. And in Tom Piccirilli's "It Ain't Always Easy," a casual hook-up takes a saucy turn when a pair of handcuffs is discovered in a nightstand drawer. Editor Alison Tyler returns with more of the perverse, pansexual, and scorchingly hot stories that made the first volume of Best Bondage Erotica melt off the shelves.
