This BDSM novella is smoking hot!  It's Bacchanal, a one week holiday of unlimited sexual freedom, when one can indulge in one's deepest, darkest sexual fantasies.  Unfortunately, Lady Lucrezia can find no sexual satisfaction, despite her many attempts to achieve said status.  As a member of a powerful, aristocratic family, Lucrezia is accustomed to commanding others and always being in control.  On this last night of Bacchanal, Lucrezia is determined to find the sexual satisfaction that has been eluding her all week.  She thinks she can achieve her goal by obtaining a couple of sex slaves to do her bidding.  Enter Master Fortrezza, who helps Lucrezia discover the truth about herself, that at heart what she truly desires is a man to whom she can cede all control, thereby finding the ultimate freedom -- in submission.  I read a bunch of reviews for this book where reviewers complained that the identity of the Master was predictable.  However, I didn't get the impression the author was trying to conceal his identity.  But even if she was, in my view, the fact that I was able to identify the Master before he was unveiled, did not in any way take away from the enjoyment of the story.  IMO, this is one of the best BDSM stories I've read...I've read several, though I wouldn't say a ton.  There is no rape, no kidnapping, no extreme violence, or any other distasteful material that so many authors use to heighten sexual tension and mask their lack of imagination.  In this book it's all consensual...although a bit dark for many I'm sure.  Overall this is an excellent book; it is extremely well written, beautifully edited, and utterly engaging.  I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys this genre of books.
