Beauty and Submission
If I had to find one word to describe Maria Isabel Pita¿s `Beauty and Submission¿ it would be intense. For two hundred and fifty pages, you are taken into her life and mind through her beautifully written words. She describes the events of one year in her life with her beloved Master, and lets you share in the experience, using all she has at her disposal. She does this by writing about her life, as well as sharing excerpts from both her own personal journal and her erotic novels. ¿Beauty and Submission¿ follows her second year with her Master, picking up where her first book, `The Story of M ¿ A Memoir¿ left off. Even without having read that first book I wasn¿t lost as a reader. Maria pulls you in with her words, and makes you want to continue reading. Her thoughts are so deep that I found myself re-reading passages over and over again. Each chapter deals with the different events that culminate in the transformation of Maria into Missa, her alter-ego. And surprisingly, each experience with her Master teaches her something about her life and about love. She holds nothing back, and I know I would recommend this book to anyone interested in reading what the BDSM lifestyle can really be like. Before reading this, I didn¿t have a true understanding of it. This book has given me that, and in a way I never expected. A lovely, intriguing read.

Beauty and Submission
What struck me the most all throughout the reading of 'Beauty and submission' is the power and bravery behind Maria Pita's prose. She is undoubtedly a wise old soul. Yet, in the same instance, her no-holds-barred honesty about the lifestyle and personal odyssey with her beloved Dom has a youthful innocence that refreshes and renews like rain in the springtime. Love is new, and forever renewed, by each other. Life obstacles faced by most vanilla lovers face are present along with the countless obstacles any alternative lifestyle will bring. Every such mountain is a challenge scaled with intelligent and triumphant results. Missa's enormous heart, and huge capacity to love and submit to her man in the purest sense, will stay with me (and I'm sure all her readers) long after this book is closed. This real life romance makes fictional renditions pale in comparison.

Hidden fantasies explored and discovered
Written by one of America¿s hottest contemporary erotica writers the author takes us on a real life tour of her private world of sex slaves, swinging and BDSM. In contrast to most readers pre conceived notions where the `sadism¿ part of BDSM lifestyle is usually a description of a master beating the living daylights out of his slave, Maria Isabel Pita describes her relationship with her master as a pretty well wholesome practice of living out her fantasies ¿¿ Yes there are rules and considerations to a good relationship and the results can only be understated as very very satisfying. Being a master erotica writer the author manages to describe her life in a manner that takes the reader on a delicious and vicarious trip into a world that generally are only deep and hidden fantasies of most women ¿. This real life exploration of a sex slave/master relationship make these fantasies not only seem more plausible but also delicious ¿..
