It had been a long day and I was looking for something different–something not- so-vanilla romance–to read. I picked up a copy of Maggie Casper's erotic novella Knotty Girl and settled in for a taste of the rougher side of love.

Craig Jensen has seen it all. Former owner of a BDSM club and now the manager of that same club, he knows what he likes and he likes the looks of this hot little number wrapped in plastic on the club floor. Stupid she might be, but hot as hell she definitely was. With a little training, she could be the one.

Craig's been looking for a submissive, his submissive, all his life and his gut is telling him this is the girl. Many have come – literally – before her, but if he has his way none will come after. She's in denial though, thinks she's just kinky, just having a bit of fun and isn't really into the BDSM life. Craig knows what she is and he's got a plan to show her just how good a submissive can have it when the right Dom comes along.

Shelby Langley likes rope… likes to be tied up with rope. That's it. Simple. She's just kinky, not submissive or anything else. This BDSM club is a weird place. Hell, who knew you could hurt yourself with plastic wrap? This guy, though absolutely hot, needs to treat a lady better. And what's this deal about him making her off limits to everyone but himself? How's she ever gonna get to play and have fun – unless she has fun with him. That's not such a bad idea considering he makes her turn hot and squishy just by looking her way. Maybe she should take him up on that offer to play…

Maggie Casper's got a hot little number here, a sweet treat for a night when you want it a little on the wild side. This story's got spanking, anal play, rough sex, a little fetish and some rope... a virtual sexual buffet with no hint of vanilla. A quick, hot read with just a smattering of romance, Knotty Girl is as much fun the title implies. Check it out next time you find yourself with an itch to be tied up.
