This takes a high level of trust as it strongly replicates a possible rape scenario, and I did wonder whether I could trust someone with this level of role and edgeplay so soon. This would not be suitable reading for those who have been raped or sexually assaulted in real life without being well aware of such content. It is most definitely one of domination demanding submission through the forced sex, and one of eventual submission based on her reactions to his domination and actions of a paddling, hair pulling and forced sex. With the characters, Justin and Lexie, it was their first rape roleplay scene that each thought they wanted, and although there were moments where Lexie was unsure she was a very sexually satisfied partner by the end where Justin reverts to himself and is also satisfied. They seem to have found the partner that ticks the boxes for each other's kink and want to continue. I noticed a follow on story, maybe a series based on this couple and how the relationship could progress. I have been impressed enough to download it. Ideal, for a limited breaktime read where the story is complete. Good 3 star rating from me and has had some editing.(less)

Never called other than that, but if this is the evil awful one that humans have been afeared of for generations well nothing to be scared of here...a well endowed goat cross human creature, but one that responds to love, kindness and reciprocated lust, in fact, with anything but the evils, horrors and burning hell-like places we are told exist with him reigning over. This was read as a taboo challenge, and comes up as taboo on Amazon's search engine...but is rather a sweet read. The female maiden awakes from her night of rite as consort though changed to a faun and the horned god reigns over nature and the natural world. Occasional typos but readable and flows nicely. Three stars for this short story.(less)

As I don't want to read of anything illegal or real, this being based on myth, and such creatures as centaurs having never existed meant it was a safe taboo for me to read. The Centaur from myth has the torso, head and arms of a human and from waist down and back the body and of course genitalia of a horse. There were mainly male and one female centaurs in this story. Two human siblings, Arlo and Eslyn are trying to flee in a war between humans and centaurs but are captured and to be executed. Their choice painless or painful deaths. Eslyn, pleads to the female leader for her brother and her life. Arlo becomes of use to the centaurs in his knowledge of the area, so is reprieved and Eslyn condemned but the males ask for her as their 'distraction'. Here is a far better quality story plot than similar books I've read by other writers of this theme. Thought has gone into how it might be possible for human and centaur to arouse and be aroused and mate. I was shocked to find it erotic and a turn on and sensitively written, despite the title series, but put that down purely to the writer's ability. Even in such a brief story her characters have personality, caring, sensuality and it goes both ways for Eslyn and her many different centaur suitors. It seems the male centaur prizes the human female and will take them as bride and mother of future cross specie offspring. This bit made me cringe...but then it was the practicalities of such a foetus and the giving birth of something with equine hindquarters, though I guess it may be easier than a bovine head size being born as with Minotaurs...good job it is a fantasy, a mythological possibility or is that impossibility then? OK compared to a similar short story by another contemporary writer this is nearer to four stars than two. It is short, but long enough to get a story with beginning, middle and end, a decent plot, characters a few of whom are memorable and quite erotic scenes...oh and this writer knows the difference between equine and bovine and has described well her equine half of the beast :) I actually enjoyed this story and it made a definite change. Overall this rates as a good 3 stars maybe 3.5 within the confines of the story being short. (less)

Thrown into the labrynth and to the feared Minotaur, a mythological being with man's arms and torso and bull's head and hindquarters. Myth says no one who entered left alive, bar Perseus of course, but he doesn't make an appearance here. I read this as part of the BDSM taboo sub themes of bestiality. As I don't want to read of anything illegal or real, this being based on myth and such a creature having never existed meant safe taboo for me to read. It is a very short story, and is basically a recount of how Claudia King imagined it might go with the bull creature and human girl, and the unthinking mind but purely sexual instincts of this creature...or in this instance sexual instincts of these creatures. The Princess is turned on by her basest and most depraved sexual instincts from the pungent smell to the act. It is here that Claudia has let herself down. Her description and terminology used of the bull is about his being equine. Sorry Claudia, equine is of a horse. The term you needed was bovine, of cattle, bulls, cows, calves. You describe the shape, size and feel of the bovine genitalia of the Minotaur as if it was a horse, very different and perhaps you should have checked your bovine anatomy out before you wrote. I have read another similar taboo story by another writer of this sub genre and this sadly pales by comparison. Hence such low rating of 1.5 star but it is readable and reasonably edited so upped it to just 2 stars.(less)
