already partial to Shoshanna's works and enjoyed reading this book, her first published novella,
As with many of the erotic romance shorts I've read of hers, this story also sucked me in right away.
I meet Melissa Dwyer, an art history on a salary too low to attend art world parties, who bumps into a former student turned security guard, James Tannen.
Drawing upon their prior affiliation, Melissa sweettalks her entry onto the premises and discovers a famous authentic painting hidden behind a closed door.
Taking it with her, she quickly leaves the party,
Realizing Melissa is behind the theft, James takes matters into his own hands and blackmails her.
Noting Melissa's bedside reading has BDSM flavors, none of which she has actually tried but from which James draws inspiration, he sets the agenda for the weekend: Melissa should be punished by being his submissive.
PUNISHING THE ART THIEF is a sexy read with BDSM themes with a nice twist at the enddefinitely a read I recommend.
For the reader who finds D/s punishment tales erotic, Very arousing! Fun, fast read that was so hot! Melissa stumbles upon the painting of her dreams, but stealing it leads to a blackmail, one that she cant say no to even if she wanted to.
James finds the opportunity hes wanted for a long time when his old teacher turns up at his work.
The chance encounter leads to smexy time
Smutty fluff, ropes and spanks and a couple made for each other.
Security guard James Tannen has been lusting after art history professor Melissa Dwyer since he sat in on her class three years ago.
She crashes a private art unveiling at his employer's housethen costs him his job by stealing a previously stolen priceless painting.
She'll do anything to keep the painting for herselfand James will do anything to get Melissa into his bed.
They agree that if she spends the weekend with him, he won't tell a soul about her stolen masterpiece.
It's blackmail, but it's also the perfect excuse for Melissa to get to know James, He takes a few of her erotic books for research, even though she's never tried any of the risqué sexual techniques she reads about and masturbates to.
Bondage. Nipple clamps. Butt plugs. Spanking.
If James is using her personal book collection as a script for their weekend together, Melissa knows she's in for a wild ride! Fun, naughty, quick read.
Perfect for that in between story to break up your other readings, Shoshanna is my new Queen of the erotic novella's, I have read two previous novella's and enjoyed them both, Punishing the Art Thief is no different.
Clearly erotic, naughty, and BDSM, Simple yet clear story line, A definite prose through out, The writer's style is quick, detailed where it needs to be, and flows from chapter to chapter with no stalling.
Just as a novella should be,
Melissa is an art history professor, clearly passionate and willing to go to great lengths to view beautiful private collections.
James is the security detail assigned to the event and a former student, though Melissa does not remember him.
In her quest for the private viewing, Melissa crashes an event she obviously was not invited to nor can afford.
This is where the story takes off and starts moving quickly, We have a missing Rembrandt, a naughty frisking, blackmail, consenting tryst's, heated spankings and other fun naughtiness, as well as an obvious attraction between the two.
The sexual scenes were detailed and rather explicit but not to the point where you were turned off, they were page turning and left you with a smile on your face and naughty thoughts on your head.
Nicely paced novella, complete from start to finish, Enjoyed the erotica as well as the couple, definitely felt the chemistry between them,
Shoshanna Evers is an erotic romance writer who holds her own and delivers every time.
Fast, spicy read. Clare Cs
This was a cute story that moved extremely fast, Melissa isnt really an art thief, but James does catch her taking the painting, As a security guard, he loses his job over the incident, but the revenge
he exacts from Melissa is consensual.
Many of the scenes were quick, though the author does slow down a little for the erotic ones.
If you are a person who likes a story with fewer narrative details, then youll love this story.
I liked the plot and the writing, but I did wish for more emotional insight into the characters.
Overall, it was an enjoyable read,
Tea Cups!
Art History professor Melissa Dwyer is an old hand at crashing parties where new art will be unveiled.
But her luck at never getting caught runs out when she crosses path with security guard James Tannen, who took one of her classes a few years before.
James lets her crash the party, but when Melissa spots a priceless stolen Rembrandt and decides to make off with it, James loses his job.
Now James is on the hunt, but not for revenge, He promises Melissa that if she spends the weekend with him doing what he wants, he wont tell a soul about her stolen painting.
Its blackmail and he knows it, but after years of wanting her, James isnt about to let Melissa get away.
Armed with some sexy toys and a few erotic books from Melissas library, James will use the weekend to convince his luscious art thief that his brand of “punishment” is exactly her style.
I love a good thief tale, which is why I eagerly snatched up Punishing the Art Thief.
A stolen Rembrandt and a hunky security with a kinky side sounds promising, no Shoshanna Evers definitely wields kink well, though labeling Punishing the Art Thief as BDSM, to me, seems a misnomer.
Still, the story is sexy, though sadly I never grew attached to either James or Melissa, They werent unlikeable people, but Ms, Evers never gave me anything to actually like about them either, Because of this middleground, the romance in Punishing the Art Thief fell a bit flat for me.
I saw the protagonists sexual connection, but for me, it was a case of tell rather than show when it came to the emotional.
Overall, I found Punishing the Art Thief to be a fast and erotic story with a satisfying ending.
