Power exchange is the name of the game in HURTS SO GOOD, from people who experiment with new sensations and situations, to those who have explored deeply their commitment to D/S relationships. The anthology provides different perspectives that can appeal to different readers, whether they wish to dip their toes into this type of writing or if they constantly submerge themselves into the deep end on a regular basis. In some stories, the excellence shines in the dialogue, the back- and-forth sparring between characters, but in others it is in presenting a particular mindset or philosophy, briefly, within the storyline.
