Sweet Persuasion (Sweet, #2)

Pretty good considering it's not really my cuppa.
I love smut as much as the next girl but I have a low threshold for BDSM. Spanking by hand is fine but as soon as all the hardware comes out - the nipple clamps, the crops, the whips, the handcuffs, the furniture - it becomes a real turn-off.
This book was more hardcore than the first book in the series - SWEET SURRENDER - but beneath all the BDSM, there is a tender relationship with lots of heat. Banks does exceptionally hot sex scenes altho I could have done without the descriptions of "bowels" being pummeled. She also does a great job setting up Book #3 and Book #4 in the series and I look forward to them in hope that she will go easy on the BDSM. I have read the majority of Banks's book and this is the first time I really couldnt handle some of the elements in her novels.
Content warning: exhibitionism, anal, belting, whipping with a crop, nipple clamps, bondage, public punishments, one scene that verged on menage a quartre, and abuse of the phrase "sex slave".

Ok, spill the beans, girl... U know menage is my middle name. When U said, '1 scene that verged on menage a quatre', did U mean they stopped @ the last sec & didn't really go thru' w/ it ? I don't mind hardcore BDSM, but bowels being pummelled is so not a pretty visual =^2

Bowels being pummeled?! lol I don't know why but that cracked me up.
I still have yet to read Sweet Surrender, is this book closely tied to SS or can it be a stand alone? Thanks for the review :)

Anything anal is a turnoff for me. Bowels make it even worse.
Oh shoot. Bowels?:(Bumped down the mountain now...
Hmmm...guess I'll wait to buy this one until I find it at 'Half Price'.
Too much scary for me... Thanks for the review, seton!
Thanks, y'all.Audball - this bk can be read stand alone. It's a very different vibe than the first bk. The connection is that the heroines of the first three books are best friends.
Verity - I'll PM you with the dirt. Not everyone is as big a spoiler ho as u are.
