Book Review: Perchance to Dream by B.J. Frazier (erotica, femdom)

Title
Perchance to Dream

Genres: Erotics
Protagonist Gender: Various
Fetishes: Femdom, Orgasm Denial, BDSM

The first Perchance to Dream bundle collects the first three stories of B.J. Frazier's nine-part saga of medical and female domination. It's a story that might strike readers as a bit odd at first, and one that's almost guaranteed to make them feel deliciously uncomfortable at one point or another, but the way it develops, becoming deeper and darker as each story continues, is incredible.

Dr. Frankie is the Doctor/Domme of the series, a confident, assertive, and sometimes cruel woman who runs a rather unorthodox sleep clinic. While she is very interested in her patients' sleeping habits, she's even more interested in the fantasies, inhibitions, and buried fetishes that cause their nocturnal unrest. She takes pleasure in finding out what drives them, even (especially) if they're not consciously aware of it, and then forcing them to embrace it.

And, yes, that means watching a lot of porn, being monitored for their responses to the 'accidental' erotic touching of the staff, and participating in kinky new sexual adventures.

The scenario is fun and the sex is hot, but it's the dynamic between Dr. Frankie and Sayo, her alpha submissive, that I found most fascinating. Here we have a very intense BDSM power-exchange relationship that involves total ownership and total submission, but one that's tested when Sayo gets too forward with a virgin patient. Betrayed and denied, Dr. Frankie punishes her submissive roughly, humiliates her with another submissive, and really tests her promised obedience. It's an emotionally heavy backstory that slowly shifts our perception of the story as a whole, giving the fun sex dramatic consequences.

If you're willing to continue in the good doctor's care, then might I prescribe the second bundle?

My sincere thanks to the author for sending me an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
