Lady Davenport's Slave, Vol. 1: The Collaring of Amber
By J. T. Langdon
Review By: Lisa Bishop

Renaissance E Books
As one of the best writers of lesbian fiction, J.T. Langdon does not disappoint her reader with Lady Davenport's Slave Vol. 1: The Collaring of Amber. Langdon hooks the reader with the initial scene at an auction house where Lady Davenport acquires the beautiful woman on the block. Lady Davenport, a rich, brilliant mistress, has just as much time as money to play with her latest acquisition.
Langdon strategically tones the book with Lady Davenport's inner conflict of concealing her desire for intimacy with her new toy, signifying the immense pain that she suffered at the loss of a previous slave. While Lady Davenport is rich, spoiled she is not. After paying $100,000 for Amber, Lady Davenport had her once then explained that she would not keep a slave against her will and gave Amber the option to leave. At each juncture where their relationship becomes more emotionally intimate, Lady Davenport kept giving her slave the option to leave or refuse her. Never does the reader sense that Amber is indentured  or indebted to her Mistress, but that Amber's only concern is her Mistress' pleasure and that she be available to her always.
The beautiful creature, Amber, is a well-trained slave who can detach from pain and remain perfectly still throughout a paddling or whipping. In some respects she seems too good to be true, or is it that Amber will become the new fictitious role model for submissives like O once was? Possibly Amber is the pinnacle of submissives, who always behaves to the point of her mistress  creating sins for her punishments, who is quiet and still throughout a scene and is always quick to tend to and satisfy her mistress?
Each of Langdon's chapters are carefully developed, deliciously seasoned with intelligent and imaginative prose, something not found enough in the genre of erotica. Of her vibrant and well-developed characters, Langdon only gives us a taste of Dimitri, Natasha and Lady Meredith Carrington, and how they are interwoven into the life of the intricate Lady Davenport. This delicious page turner of erotica will never bore the most well-read connoisseur of lesbian erotica, and will make many anxiously await the release of her sequel, Lady Davenport's Slave, Vol. 2: The Claiming of Amber.
