Daddy’s Girl, by Stella Black

Virgin Books have a great list of erotica, including the Black Lace list, written entirely by – and very widely read by – women. Contributing Editor of Skin Two magazine, Stella Black, is author of the classic ‘Shameless’, one of the horniest and most truthful BDSM books written by a woman. It was followed by ‘Stella Does Hollywood’, in which our heroine takes on Los Angeles, armed with a 1969 Pontiac Firebird and a leopard-skin bra.

Stella was then asked by the publishers to describe the real sexual experiences on which these novels were based. The resulting book, ‘Daddy’s Girl’ is out now and is essential reading for everyone for whom BDSM sexuality is reality, not fantasy. Read more
