Catarena has felt compelled to write for years. Her stories have always been turned down by publishing houses, labelled as too politically incorrect. Having read an erotic fiction tale, Caterena believes she has finally found her niche. She wants to begin by writing a BDSM novel. There is only one obstacle in her way: she knows nothing about her intended subject matter. To complete the tale she is keen to write, Caterena will have do research – a lot of research. She begins by going to Fetish.com, hoping to find someone willing to tell her about the lifestyle, instead finding all sorts of people who want to engage in various acts that Caterena finds very off putting. She is beginning to become very disheartened when she comes across a man who seems different from the others, who offers to teach her what he knows in exchange for her submission to him. Caterena agrees, and though some of his requests give her a moment's hesitation, she finds she is enjoying herself and her cyber relationship very much. All in the name of research, of course. And then she sees his face via the webcam he had sent her. The webcam over which he had just viewed her orgasm. The man is not only familiar to her, but someone she knows. She pulls the plug on the webcam instinctively, to protect her identity. But will she be able to keep her identity a secret from him?
Mason is very successful. He owns his own business, Broderick Inc and does not lack for female companionship. Lately though he has grown tired of the simpering, clinging women he gets involved with. They are too easy to tame. When he logs in to Fetish.dom to meet up with an acquaintance, he is surprised to find a woman worthy of a second look. With her sarcastic comebacks, he knows she will not be so easy to tame. Drawn to her in an inexplicable way, he makes her a deal: his knowledge for her submission. So begins a very unusual relationship over which Mason does not have complete control, a first for him. When she pulls the plug on their relationship, Mason nearly goes mad trying to understand why, determined to find out who she is. When he does find her, he is stunned by her identity – stunned but not put off. He initiates her into his world, though she is resistant of becoming involved with him because of who he is. With her determination not to be controlled by him outside of the bedroom, will this man with an unquenchable thirst for control manage to make a compromise and salvage their relationship?
This collaboration by Maggie Casper and Lena Mathews flows seamlessly. They have obviously worked together, very well and very closely, to line up all the various points of this tale. Maverick’s Black Cat is highly erotic. Contents include anal sex sex/play, spanking, handcuffs, mention of ‘golden showers’ and a very domineering man. Whilst this novel is unmistakably of the BDSM genre, it is not ‘heavy’. What I mean by this is that there are no situations that are hardcore BDSM, featuring for example flogging or bondage. This makes it perfect for those who would like to dip their toes into the BDSM genre, but want to start with something that is not too hardcore. Don’t, however, make the wrong judgement that this tale is typical of this genre. On the contrary, the BDSM genre is vast and varied; not all plotlines will be for everyone. The struggle between the characters to find a balance that works for them was brilliantly developed – and a struggle it was. Caterena is a feminist, a woman who believes that women are equal to men but is also excited at the thought of her pleasure being controlled by a man in the bedroom. Mason is a man who needs to be in control at all times; this need spreads to all areas of his life. Though this need for control is great, his need for Caterena is greater. His struggle within himself to find a balance he can live with is endearing. Though not for those who dislike the thought of men and women being on unequal footing in any respect, including the bedroom, Maverick’s Black Cat is a true gem.
