I first read these books as a freshman in college. I loved them. I was wide eyed and open mouthed at the ideas in the book and that people actually wrote things like that. I have been addicted ever since. I am extremely happy that they are reprinting these books for me to enjoy again. I will say that the 15 year difference in my first reading and the second reading and brought about some changes in my thinking. These stories while BDSM in nature are light compared too many other titles in the genera. But I still love the story. What happens after Sleeping beauty wakes up? She makes up for lost time. My favorite book still is #2, but don’t try to read them out of order, they make more sense, and are more enjoyable when taken as a full course meal.
