Diary of a Submissive: A Modern True Tale of Sexual Awakening

Sophie Morgan. Gotham, $16 trade paper (304p) ISBN 978-1-5924-0825-2

Feminist and British journalist "Sophie Morgan" describes her journey into role-play romance, a chronicle of the psychosexually complex unfolding of her identity as a masochist and submissive. A work of top-notch erotica, this diary is also occasionally laugh-out-loud funny as the author weaves around the undeniable sweetness of love with the pain and humiliation she deeply craves during sex. Sophie's big love is a self-assured and wealthy stockbroker who naturally excels at the power dynamic she craves. Beginning with a vignette that will make readers feel like voyeurs of the author's domination/submission fantasy, this book will pull%E2%80%94or catapult%E2%80%94anyone who picks it up straight into Sophie's world. Bisexual submission, threesomes, orgasm denial, phone-sex masochism are among the many vividly drawn scenes of Sophie's adventures that will pique the interest, and probably the desire, of anyone intrepid enough to pick up the book.
