Summary: Sure Bet for Readers of Bondage Erotica
Comment: Donovan Grant is infamous - not only for the revolutionary software he created that ended the peer to peer file transfer blitz, but also for the huge not-for-profit sex site that he runs from his private Caribbean island. An island where bondage is the byword and pleasure is more than just a pastime. But Grant's deep desire to Dominate goes beyond the paradise he has created - he wants nothing less than the entire world. It's up to Carroll Farmer, a woman who once loved the young Grant, to uncover his secret plot and save the world. Along the way she's going to get the chance to explore her own bondage fantasies and maybe, just maybe, find out what she's been craving all along.
Hunter and Shepard have penned a wild, intricate and delicately plotted masterpiece here. Unlike most erotica novels, ONCE BITTEN has a real plot to it, one that is both modern and enjoyable. The sex is dynamite, but this book is also very well-written, well-paced, and lavishly detailed. Full of explicit sex, vivid imagery and layered, believable characters, ONCE BITTEN is a sure bet for any reader who enjoys bondage erotica.

Summary: Does exactly what it says on the tin...
Comment: I thought this was a very clever and enjoyable book, and just the job for two lazy summer afternoons. The story centres on Donovan and Carroll, who used to be lovers years ago, back when they were both impoverished Oxford students. Carroll chickened out when Donovan's kinks began to surface, but having been bitten by the bug of deviant sex, it never really left her - even though she never felt fully at ease with herself about it.
By the time they meet again, fifteen years later, Carroll has become a successful journalist while Donovan has made it huge on the net, and is about to become richer still by perpetrating the greatest crime ever seen on the worldwide web. Assigned to interview him much against her will, Carroll falls into his sphere again. But this time both have lost their youthful innocence, and some painful fireworks result.
The book is excellently paced, and is written with the sharp cutting edge of one of those airport bestsellers you buy to read on the beach. The difference though, is that this is a bdsm novel with a capital B. Leather, gags, whips' the whole nine yards. Take that as a warning or a promise, according to your tastes, but in addition to a good yarn and some very graphic scenes, I was pleasantly surprised to find real delicacy of touch in the way the characters were developed and explained. The motives and drives of the lifestyle are explored very well, though not at the expense of bogging down the story. As one of the characters puts it: 'Whether you use silk or leather, a feather or a whip, you're still playing the same game. Some like it hard, some like it soft. What matters is what goes on in your mind.'
