Cara Downey (caradd) Love Beyond Boundaries A Collection of Erotic Poetry (Love Beyond Boundaries #1) by Cara Downey Hi everyone :-D

I forget to mention in my previous post... if you are interested in reading my erotic poetry collection and you want to start with the first book... please pm me.

I know some may not be into poetry... but don't judge a book by its cover. I've taken the Shakespearean sonnet style of writing and added a decadent twist.

Please enjoy the following excerpt from Love Beyond Boundaries.

I am pulled into the same daydream I had at work. I’m tied to the bed, and he’s having his wicked way with me. I feel the flogger come down on my body; my breathing is rough, hard. I’m panting from the sensations, from anticipations. I try to rein myself in; I do not want it to end so soon. I ask him if he can bring the flogger down on my sex. I am not sure where that idea came from, but he doesn’t deny me. On the contrary, he obliges me. I scream out in desire when the first lash hits my sex, leaving me wanting more.

I feel the flogger as he pauses and glides it across my body. I bite my lower lip—if I don’t, I will explode, and he isn’t even inside me yet. I can’t believe how turned on I am. I know this is only the beginning and he can keep me on the edge for hours before allowing me to orgasm. In this, he’s in control. I gladly give him my submission, because I trust him. My desire is to please him, to give him full access of my body mind and soul. I am his to do with as he pleases. Which in turn satisfies me and gives me pleasure.

With a flip of his wrist, he brings the flogger down again, but stops before hitting my sex. I am tied to the bed. The way he’s tied me to the bed—arms and legs and middle—limits me from lifting my lover body to try and meet him halfway. I groan in frustration, and he smiles his deliciously evil smile. Knowing that he has me right where he wants me, begging for his touch, begging for the flogger, he is the Master of my mind, body and soul.

Vittorio Pareto (vittoriopareto) | 4 comments Hi, I’m new to Goodreads and to the reviewers group. My first book, Emma of the Ardennes, (released on Amazon this week) is an adventure story set in ninth century France.

message 207: by Bryant (new)

Bryant Reil | 7 comments Hi! My names Bryant Reil and I recently posted my first YA Fantasy on Amazon and am working on the second. I have been a fan of fantasy since I was about four, though as an adult I have become more steeped in the classics. However, in writing, I always include fantastic elements as I love the imagination that goes into developing the world and characters.

I have been self-publishing and while this took a lot of consideration and has been a lot of work I do not regret it. I have been learning a lot about formatting (both ebook and print), as well as marketing. It has been an educational (though not yet economical) adventure.

J. Lee | 3 comments Hi all! My name is J Lee and I am a bookaholic (mostly romance)and author (Contemporary/Suspenseful romance). I wrote my first book Mending her heart in March. I recently finished the second in the series and I hope to have it out end of the summer/beginning of fall.

That's interesting. The website consist only of text, pictures and the pdf. Maybe the chess game html triggered this, but I'm playing it for years and nothing has ever happened.

message 238: by Seon (new)

Seon O. | 1 comments Hello everyone. I signed up with Goodreads today and was looking for a group that was Author oriented. I love reading and writing Fantasy and Sci fi and have four completed novels thus far. I have yet to publish them but all in due time. I am currently working on a fantasy series that I am thinking of putting out there for free. After I have done this, because it's keeping me so busy trying to meet my own deadlines, I will make myself available for anyone in need of reviews and or ratings for their work. Free books will be quicker read but I don't mind paying for your hard work either. All you'll have to do is point me in the direction of whatever site your book is listed on and I'll gladly read it. Thank you for providing this group and I look forward to helping as much as I can.

Koolaid | 2 comments Hey Everyone,

I am new to reviewing books, but have done a few so far. I love a few genres and if you look at my profile, you will see what I follow. I am interested in reviewing books now as I have a lot of time on my hands since I recently retired full time. LOVE IT.

I am not the most articulate (boy, that was a big word for me) in the world, but you will understand what I am trying to get across in the review.

So, if I may be of help, just let me know.

Thanks,
Dave

Just kidding! Thank you for helping out the indie community! The mystery and fantasy authors are lucky to have you!!

C.P. Murphy (Cpmurphy) | 1 comments Hi, I'm an author and reviewer. My third book is being released on July 5th, 2016. I write both historical fiction and paranormal romance. (My paranormal doesn't include vampires, werewolves, ect.) I would like to build my platform as an author and also help others build theirs. I am willing to review books, post them here, Amazon, and my blog. The only problem I have is time, I am able to read a lot at work but I work in a prison where electronics are not allowed. I will read ebooks but you'd have to have some patience on them. I prefer to read romance, historicals, young adult, paranormal, pretty anything even Erotica.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone. Hope I'm posting in the right place.
