I've read all of those and they don't meet any of my requirements. Thank you for the effort though.

Its not a freebie but The Collectors by Leslie Gowan would possibly meet your requirements. Its easily one of the better BDSM novels I've read and might be due for a sequel. I just felt like the author was more than willing to dive into the world of BDSM rather than write a typical romance that just glazes over the theme.

Here is the amazon link (hope thats okay) http://www.amazon.com/Collectors-Lesley-Gowan/dp/1602822085/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1329272270&sr=1-1

Again thanks but I've read that already.

Keep the recommendations coming people...please?

Hmmmm have you read Rynna Cress? I'm trying to think of some more I've read. Unfortunately it seems to be a genre that is lacking in quality and quantity. Do you have any suggestions outside of the ones you initially mentioned? I really enjoy power play and bdsm is a bonus if written well.

I do not know the validity or quality but during my constant search for ebooks of all flavors across the web I've heard mentioned that Susanna Valent writes such things. I did try to read "Mistress Margot". It was a little heavy on BDSM for my taste (I'm only interested in light things) and to my understanding it was one of the lighter BDSM ebooks. I haven't checked out any others by her, but you could try it out.

Also I remember coming across Naked Heart by Jennifer Fulton. Now, I don't know the bdsm content of this but the blurb definitely was memorable. Not sure at all about this one but it's worth a shot if you're desperate.

Now the only free offering I have is a really long, never finished story. But I remember it being pretty good and being somewhat upset that it was never completed (to my knowledge). The site is down, but the wayback machine had it. The Speed of the Beat of my Heart by Michal Salat and Joann Muscolo. This one was mostly about power, although there are definitely some things that sounded a bit more than uncomfortable that I'm sure I would not like to try.

I lied, I remembered this one as I was typing about the last one. This one is about an experienced cop and a rookie cop. :3
Thin Blue Line

I think if you nose around the old website from the last link you might find some more. Hope I helped a bit. It took me about 15 minutes to find the last one...all I remembered was "Blue" xD.

Really thank you very much for these recommendations, I really enjoyed those stories. An extra sincere thank you for actually taking 15 minutes of your time to search for something for a stranger

I'd really really really like to read this book. It seems like exactly what I'm looking for and thank you for that. But unfortunately I'm unable to purchase it. Still thank you anyway.



If there are anymore recommendations out there please keep them coming. Thanks!

Come on people I'm starved for some stories. I know it's a fairly limited genre but it's not so small to be limited to these stories mentioned.

Have you tried out some Conqueror stories? There are several lists of this. Usually more than half have a queen/slave type thing going on.

Someone recommended phair, and if you look on the page there's the "Manor" series at the end with a master/slave relationship. I remember it being very interesting.

I would also recommend checking out some of the vampire/werewolf stories as a lot of those tend to include things of that nature

I'm afraid I've simply read too many things to have titles for everything, but I hope this points you in the direction of something you'll like.

You could try Freedom's Heart although to be perfectly honest with you I don't remember if it involved BDSM at all. I just recall that one of the main characters was a slave and the other a noble.

A quick search came up with:
Friday
haven't read myself, it had "Dominatrix" described as a lead character.

Grind
this one is a series that starts off with light powerplay and progresses I believe. It's been a while.

The Interview
haven't read myself, it had "Dominatrix" described as a lead character.

Passions Fulfilled
haven't read myself, it had "Dominatrix" described as a lead character.

Subdued
haven't read, title caught my eye and a quick skim shows a couple "experimenting."

Um, I've just finished reading Wild by Meghan O'Brien. You could give it a shot, not her best work though.
