From the author of Carrie’s Story comes the tale of a young woman’s uncompromising sexual adventure.

Whisked away to Greece by the demanding gentleman who has chosen her as his own, she learns new, more rigorous methods of sexual pleasure. Carrie willingly submits to her new master and learns the art of competitive dressage (also known as human pony training).

Groomed, collared and harnessed to her new master’s exacting specifications, our smart-ass, intrepid heroine nonetheless manages to hold onto her acclaimed sense of wit and irony. Thrust into the midst of a fantasy netherworld of lovely “ponies,” she learns to play and win some dangerous games—of dressage and desire, bondage and romance.

Told from both the dominant’s and submissive’s points of view, this devastatingly sexy story has readers in its (very) firm grip, as author Molly Weatherfield proves herself a master of the BDSM genre.

Customer Reviews (4.3 / 5 · 3 reviews)

Ruby ★★★★★

The tension between the characters is so well-drawn that I found myself holding my breath during the negotiation scenes. The Greek setting adds a lush, sensory layer that makes the power dynamics feel even more intense.

Hannah ★★★★★

I was nervous at first, but the way the author builds tension through the dialogue and setting in Greece had me completely hooked. The exploration of trust and boundaries feels incredibly real and thoughtful.

Harper V. ★★★☆☆

The story is compelling enough to keep me turning pages, but the writing feels a bit flat in places, especially during the more intense scenes. The premise of the trip to Greece adds nice atmosphere, though I wish the emotional depth matched the physical descriptions.
