Mistress Stephanie's Strays by Jim Lyon

As much as we may grieve the loss of a loved one, I think we all dream
of being left with a life-changing inheritance. For one young woman, that
inheritance only begins with a sprawling Hawaiian mansion – it is the stable of
servants who come with it, desiring only to please, which is truly
life-changing. Despite her prior experience with the scene, Stephanie does
adjust a little too quickly to her “readymade polyamorous D/s family,” but that
is all part of the fantasy.
As we soon discover, Mistress Stephanie’s Strays are there solely for
their Mistress’s pleasure, taking their only pleasure in the act of submission.
Male, female, or trans, their bodies have been rendered hairless through laser
treatment, their chastity is ensured by piercings, and they all sport rather
elaborate butt plugs. I took an immediate liking to Molly and her faux foxtail
butt plug; was excited by Pete’s fondness for being pegged; and found myself
intrigued by gentle Louise’s love of pain; but it was neutered sissy Toni who
excited me the most.
To Jim Lyon’s credit, he smartly (and quickly) deals with issues of
boredom and contentment. When Mistress Stephanie begins to feel somewhat
suffocated by the intimacy of the world he Aunt created, she sets out to open
the estate and their lives to the wider BDSM world. First, though, she finds
herself a submissive lover in Jewel who can also help domme her inherited subs,
whom she makes her own through the offering of some very personal theme gifts.

If I were to have one small complaint about the book it is that it
sometimes moves to fast, skimming through scenes that I would have liked to see
explored deeper. It is a lovely read as it is, but I would love to see an
expanded edition that pads out the erotica to something more novel-length. Like
I said, though, small complaint . . . and wanting more from an author is never
a bad thing!
