Product DescriptionFrom the author of Carrie's Story comes the continuing tale of a young woman's uncompromising sexual adventure. Carrie leaves Jonathan, the S/M master who initiated her into a life of slave auctions, training regimes, and human "ponies" preening for dressage competitions. Whisked away to Greece by the demanding gentleman who has chosen her as his own, she learns new, more rigorous methods of sexual pleasure.From Publishers WeeklyAt the end of Carrie's Story, Carrie had committed to a full-time submissive life by allowing her mentor, Jonathan, to sell her to the highest bidder. As she travels around Greece with occasional jaunts elsewhere in Europe, Carrie willingly submits to her new master and learns the art of competitive dressage (also known as human pony training). Weatherfield tries to elevate BDSM to an art form with a literary tone and a functioning storyline, but the endless sex is reduced to a boring clinical recitation of insert tab A into slot B. (It was all simple physics, Carrie thinks as every item in the household is turned to carnal purpose.) The sex isn't tied to emotion, just power, which may not appeal to romance-minded readers, and those who haven't read the first book will be confused by sections from Jonathan's point of view. (Aug.)ReviewDevotees of Fifty Shades should submit to wry Carrie and intellectual Jonathan and Safe Word. Those brave enough to leave the comfort of mass market S&M will find a succulent novel. And those who already enjoy S&M erotica will feel blissfully sated upon finishing this book."'-ForeWord Reviews"The shining achievement of this book is the characters."-City Book Review"The stories that Carrie tells are mingled in with her own wit and charm that I came to love from the first book."-Fox in the Flowers"Carrie's story is definitely worth getting to know."-Fresh Fiction"A classic of its genre... rare product of a gimlet mind."-Anneke Jacob, author of As She's Told"The best word I can use to describe Safe Word is classy: Weatherfield creates an alluring kink underground that treats, as Anneke Jacob beautifully points out in her forward, sex as high art, but Carries sass and self-awareness keeps this world and her European travels out of pretentious cheese territory. Whether youve read Carries Story or not, this book is hot and engaging."-Sexlife Canada"She is ever the thinking sub. A slave with eyes that tell the story of her questioning thoughts."-Kissin' Blue Karen"Just when you think things can't get wilder, they do."-Black Sheets magazine"This story contains some of the most erotic pony girl training sessions I have ever read. I definitely recommend this book."-Equus Eroticus"Fans of the popular S/M novel Carrie's Story won't be able to put down this sequel in which Carrie sheds her old life with lover Jonathan and embarks on an incredible sexual adventure to prove her devotion to a demanding master. Torrid scenes of training in the explicit arts of sexual satisfaction blend with fevered passion and the agony of living with life's sometimes-difficult choices in a book rife with compelling characters."-Good Vibrations"Fans of Carrie's Story will definitely want to get their hands on this hot little sequel to that best-selling erotic S/M novel. Safe Word continues the story of Carrie, former Berkeley lit. student turned sex-slave, after her sale at a fancy European slave auction. This book starts at the end of her year-long servitude and slave-training, with Carrie meeting up with her former master, Jonathan. The book goes back and forth, with Carrie and Jonathan swapping stories from their past year apart, and it gives a fascinating glimpse into their interpersonal dynamics and individual sexual experiences. That is, if you chose to read it straight-through, it does. The book also works well if you hold it open with one hand, breathlessly skimming for the next hot sexy scene..."-Blowfish.com"Weatherfield incorporate
