SUMMARY: Susannah's ballet instructor, Claire, grows tired of her student's attitude. She wants to discipline her student. Susannah indicates that she isn't adverse to the idea of discipline. The story progresses from there.

COMMENTARY: I like this story for a number of reasons. It wasn't too predictable. The sex was hot. The focus seems to be Susannah's emotional state and not the sex acts she performs. The plot develops at a nice pace.

On the down side the story is a bit lacking in the plot department. Given the up side (see last paragraph for details) I am willing to overlook this fact. A story does not have to have a great plot to be a fun read or even to be a great story. What it does need is something compelling; something to drag you in. I found that in the main character. Susannah seems torn throughout the story. One minute she is thrilled and aroused by her ballet instructor's actions and the next minute she is nervous and scared. She willingly submits to Claire's discipline, but usually not before expressing doubts or hesitating.

I guess that if you don't care for stories that involve spankings or light bondage, then you might want to skip this one. The female homosexuality may turn some of you off. I enjoyed it quite a bit and certainly recommend it to those of you who don't think they will be squicked by the subject matter.
