I've heard good things about Joey Hill's Natural Law for fem-dom romance, although I have not read it myself. (I really need to, though.) There definitely isn't enough out there, and publishers keep saying that it doesn't sell when they do publish t. :(

I personally think the book was meant as a control kink fantasy, and I don't really have a huge issue with that. The problem is that the book has taken off and so many people are looking to it as a how-to guide for BDSM, and then you have the kink community that is trying to say "lalalala THIS NEVER HAPPENS HERE", when, no, it decidedly does, and there are a lot of active bdsm feminists trying to work on changing it.

I don't exactly expect my control/rape kink to be healthy, LOL, but I really felt the need to point out exactly how the book is fucked up, and how it is unhealthy, and how stuff like it happens in the community all the time.

But, uh, as a control kink book, I'll admit to enjoying it nonetheless.
