I'm handing my blog over to author Tara Crescent today. She's just released her latest book, The House of Pain, and is sharing one hot little snippet. Check it out - and I don't mean just that gorgeous cover!!
Blurb:
Sara White is outwardly a good girl; she follows the rules;
works in a professional office; has a boyfriend who treats her with
consideration. However, deep inside her, there’s a craving for pain, a desire
to be spanked and whipped, to be submissive, to be controlled.
One day, she walks into the House of Pain, a sex store in
Toronto that also does shows in the back, where women are whipped and spanked
in front of an audience. Transfixed by the idea, she signs up.
Doug Patterson has met Sara at work, but discovers a whole
new side of her when he sees her at the House of Pain. He approaches her and
suggests Sara become his submissive. Sara is attracted to Doug; but afraid of
complication.
Will Sara surrender to Doug, and yield to her desire to be
submissive?
Contains BDSM, flogging,
anal sex, and much more...
Excerpt:
Tara’s note: This is my favourite bit of this
story. Sara is getting punished by Doug for asking if she could talk in the
dungeon. As she finds out, Doug’s not interested in a perfectly trained sub; he
wants a real woman in both the dungeon and his bed…
He resumes my spanking.
I’m moaning now, whimpering and writhing over him. Each stroke is painful; each
stroke makes me flinch. The pain flows through me; but I can’t disassociate
from it the way I did at the House of Pain. Here, the immediacy of Doug’s body
against mine keeps me firmly in the moment, where I can feel every blow.
“Repeat after
me again. Any rule is negotiated by both of us, with full consent from both of
us…”
“Any rule is
negotiated by both of us, with full consent from both of us…” My voice is
small. This is a very effective lesson; one I won’t be forgetting in a hurry.
His hands are
stroking my ass again. My flesh is throbbing and painful. But he soothes me
expertly, he has very subtly pulled me closer. The moment feels different;
there’s electricity in the air; and there’s intimacy in the way he’s stroking
me.
“I’m not
interested in any submission of yours that lessens you…” he says quietly. “I’m
not interested in objectifying you, in humiliating you. You are always more
than a naked, willing body. You are a person, with wants and needs, hopes and
fears.” His hands are still stroking me. I remain very still; I listen to him.
There’s quiet certainty to his tone. I remember my first impression of Doug.
This is someone who knows what he wants.
And as I listen
to him articulate what he wants, pressed down on him, ass inflamed and
throbbing, I am suddenly very afraid. Doug will not be content with being kept
within a tidy little box. Doug will want everything I have to give, and more.

About Tara:
Hello, I’m Tara
Cresent. I’ve always fantasized about being a mysterious spy, leading a secret
double-life, and now, I find that that’s come true!
Sort of.
By day, I’m a
mild-mannered corporate drone in Toronto, but by night, I’m limited only by my
imagination; I am a daring writer of BDSM, erotica and romance.
In my spare
time, I write of course. I also read, garden, travel, cook, and almost never
clean. I just started watching Walking Dead on Netflix (zombie erotica,
anyone?), and I’m impatiently awaiting the next episode of Doctor Who. (I would
kill for a TARDIS.)
I’ve scribbled
bits and pieces all my life, chiefly inspired by what I’m reading, which tends
to be mainly science-fiction and fantasy, with a healthy sprinkling of romance
and erotica thrown in.
I’m a huge
believer in happily-ever-after, but tempered by real life, where
happily-ever-after is possible, but takes work.
My favorite kind of romance stories are ones that are somewhat
believable; I like strong men and women who know what they want out of life,
and are driven to get it.
From time to
time, I blog about what I’m writing at http://www.taracrescent.com. The blog is also where I post book
excerpts; highlight information about upcoming promotions, and so on and so
forth. Follow me there to keep up with all the fun!

Thanks for featuring me, Natasha! This really is my favourite bit of the book!
I'm sorry I am a little late to this. Love the snippet Tara. I love that he wants a real woman, not a perfectly training sub. Congratulations on the release!
Hi Natasha *waves* :) Thanks for sharing ladies.
