What People are Saying
“Wishbone is well-written, intensely exciting and realistic BDSM erotica. It may sound weird to some that a book of speculative, erotic fiction could be called realistic… In addition, this book depicts homoeroticism and particular elements of BDSM in a manner which makes them emotionally understandable for anyone.” —Amazon review of Wishbone
“Came for the porn and stayed for the plot. I enjoyed it very much.” —Amazon review of Wishbone
“What really sets Burka aside from other authors in the genre is her wondrous ability to weave a deeply touching love story in the twists and turns of dominance and submission, turning rather extreme bdsm scenes in moments of unbearable tenderness. A journey into unsuspected places of the human soul.” —Amazon review of Wishbone
“The best bdsm stories… no, the best erotic stories I ever read.” —Amazon review of Mate—and More Stories from the Erotic Edge of SF/Fantasy
“It seems to me that Lauren Burka is one of the few writers nowadays who can really tell a love story without pulling punches on the erotic and SM side of the tale. Her books are gutsy, emotional, well written, unusual, brave and just plain lovely. I will care for the characters of Mate and Whiphand for the rest of my days, like old friends.” —Goodreads review of Mate—and More Stories from the Erotic Edge of SF/Fantasy
