The Lady Submits,by Chloe Cox, an "erotic romance novelette", was a fun read.  Also sub-described as "BDSM Bacchanal"; within it, Ms. Cox is like one of those street artists you can sometimes find. Using words as that artist might use his pastel chalks, in firm strokes, she manages to paint a world just off of the history of ours. Characters, society's mores, all finely drawn with surprisingly broad strokes.  Our heroine, desperate to find satisfaction during the "Bachannal", a brief time of relaxed rules, ends up finding it in the place she had hoped, but with a surprising partner.  I enjoyed the story, though not as much as I have enjoyed some of this author's longer works; it is a great teaser for the book.  Long enough to let you know how she writes, and enjoy a scene in full, but with lots of room to build a longer story, with these characters or others.
