Beautiful but shy Laura works for a powerful company, where it seems that every man harbors hidden desires for her. But if only, she thinks with shame, they could guess at her own torrid fantasies about them. Her subtle provocations are not going unnoticed or unappreciated--in fact, they are taking her into dangerous territory with several men. But the real object of her desire is "The Devil." A masterful and arrogant figure, he both terrifies and thrills her with his emails. He is a man intent on becoming her complete master, a man she would have to serve in ways that make her head spin. But isn't that what she always wanted?
Loved this book! Laura is a girl after my own heart--shy and a bit reserved in public, but her mind is often occupied by lurid sexual fantasies about people she knows, or embellishments of the spanking scenes in the 1950's adventure romances she likes to read. Soon after she begins to fantasize about being dominated and spanked, she starts getting mysterious emails from someone only identified as The Controller. Although she's shocked, she's also turned on and can't resist fulfilling his requests, which become more and more daring. Eventually she does find out who it is, and the second half or so of the book is about the development of the dominant/submissive relationship between them. If you enjoy spanking, punishment, and the dominant/submissive aspect of BDSM I absolutely recommend this book. Plenty of sexy scenes of punishment and submission, but nothing too very extreme. While I don't necessarily mind if the characters in erotica don't have a lot of depth, that wasn't the case with Laura. She was interesting and lovable and I really identified with her, and I enjoyed that aspect of the book as well as the sex scenes. You get to see her from the time she gets curious about spanking through the development of a full-fledged D/s relationship. Any kind of 24/7 BDSM relationship isn't something I think could do, but it's always a sexy fantasy, and it definitely worked for me in this book. I really enjoyed it and will read it again.
