S.E.X. Review~ Bondage Play by Morticia Knight

Phil needs to show Terry some restraint…

Terry and Phil have begun what promises to be a very satisfying D/s journey together. Their rough role play was a success, and Terry is ready to allow Phil to have more control over him in all ways. But even Masters have doubts, and when things take an unexpected turn in Phil’s film production career, he worries that he’s not properly taking care of his boy. Phil’s mentor assures him that taking charge of Terry and pushing his boy’s boundaries are what’s needed more than money.

Terry craves his Master’s control…

Terry now knows that being submissive answers a need within himself he’d never realized existed. Then Phil takes their scenes to the next level as he introduces Terry to more extreme bondage. But will the return of an old nemesis from Master Gerard’s BDSM gatherings spell real danger to Terry? Right as the Dom and sub decide to play with Master Gerard and his boy, Marco, the danger becomes even more frightening than they all could’ve imagined.

Bondage Play is Book 2 in the Play Series, and is the continuation of Phil and Terry’s D/s journey that began in Role Play. While this could be read as a standalone, it’s best read after the first book. However, Phil and Terry still have their HEA with no cliffhangers!

Warning: This story is intended for a mature audience and contains explicit content between consenting adults. The characters are a committed, monogamous couple, however, there is a scene of group play.

Bondage Play was the continuation of Phil and Terry’s new life in Morticia Knight’s Play series. (Recommend reading book 1 first). Phil and Terry further traversed their D/s and domestic discipline relationship as a committed couple.

I enjoyed many facets of the book, but particularly, Ms. Knight brought forth and explored the tentativeness of a new relationship, esp. one containing BDSM undertones. Both characters evolved and matured as the author told their story, as a duo and individually.

Intrigue & drama, trust & understanding were also at the center of Bondage Play. Terry’s ability to explore his submissiveness and Phil his Master-y (with the help of his mentor and new friends).

Finally, able to connect with the two men, I found Bondage Play spirited and sexy. The characters, the interaction between Phil and Terry, and the interaction with their new friends. I look forward to reading the next book in the series and discovering the many ways Phil and Terry enhance their relationship.

S.E.X. Review~ Role Play by Morticia Knight

Some like it rough… 

Hollywood photographer, Terry Patterson, loves his job. But when it comes to romance, there is none – at least not anymore. Ever since producer, Phil Watts, abruptly left for a high-paying job in Toronto, Terry’s been determined to move on with his life. After all, they’d barely begun their relationship when everything got derailed. Just because he’s still in love with Phil after three years, shouldn’t it be time for him to finally let go? 

Phil has learned the hard way that work and career is one thing, having someone by your side to love and cherish is another. The producing gig in Toronto left him cold and lonely, but a fateful meeting one night at a bar was a game-changer. Now that’s he’s back in town, Phil is ready to take the knowledge he gained while being trained as a lifestyle Master, and is determined to claim his boy. 

Something about Phil seems different when Terry reluctantly gives into his pleas for them to meet. Terry isn’t sure whether to believe Phil’s promises that this time Terry’s heart will be safe, but he can’t deny the intensity of the chemistry they still share. When Phil reveals all, Terry is shocked, yet curious. As they discuss whether or not Terry is willing to try a relationship as a sub to Phil’s Dom, one thing in particular piques Terry’s curiosity. Phil mentions role play, and there’s a fantasy Terry has always had, but been way too embarrassed to ever confess. 

Will Phil agree to satisfy Terry’s darkest fantasy? 

Role Play is Book 1 in the Play Series, however, there is an HEA with no cliffhanger. Phil and Terry’s exploration into their new life together will continue in Book 2, out in the summer of 2016. 

Warning: This story is intended for a mature audience and contains explicit content between consenting adults. There is also rough, fantasy role play that might be upsetting to some readers. 

Longtime lovers, Phil and Terry are back on track as they forge forward in a new and distinctive relationship. Role Play is the start of Morticia Knight’s new series Play and a different style for an author whom I enjoy reading.

Phil realized the relationship he previously had with Terry, while a hot sexual one, was not the relationship they both needed nor wanted. When he left Terry to pursue his career he trained under a Dom and learned the lifestyle so that when he returned he could be with Terry in a TPE BDSM bond.

I liked both characters, but something was missing for me, yet I can’t pinpoint it. Maybe it’s the writing style that’s very different than Ms. Knight’s previous works. Maybe it was the main characters themselves.

I found Terry too trusting, in light of the fact that Phil up and left him with little regard to how it would affect Terry. Additionally, I found Phil slightly pushy in his desire to pick up where they left off as the new and improved Dom in Terry’s life (although he said all the right words).

I’m also not a fan of the type of play Terry was interested in (no spoilers) which was a turn off for this reader. I applaud Ms. Knight and her venture into the series, with the hopes of discovering more about the characters we were introduced to, and look forward to reading more.
