South Beach Submissive by Jennifer Dunne

When her boss wants her to cover the Briar Rose Introductions dating service, she's astounded to say the least. Briar Rose is a dating service made up of the most famous people in South Beach. The rich and famous all come to Briar Rose in order to satisfy their more experimental sexual side.

But then she meets Michael, a dominant in search for a new submissive, a dominant who has taken a strong interest in Sassy. Though she feels guilty for deceiving him about her job, she doesn't want to fight the attraction she feels to Michael. The more she experiences with him at the party, the more she wants him. But what happens when reality intrudes, when Michael finds out why she was really at the Briar Rose party?

R.S.V.P is an anthology filled with a great mix of erotic BDSM and romance. Each story was very unique and had not only a great plot, very erotic love scenes, but also very real and very intriguing characters. This reviewer's personal favorite story was Cajun Blue, but each story was an appealing read that is sure to become a favorite for any reader of the BDSM genre. This is definitely one anthology you won't want to miss if you enjoy explicit sex, whether it's the ordinary missionary style or the more adventurous anal sex, with the added bonus of very intriguing storylines.
