Love's Bitch is a Jim/Blair story by Lenore.
Reactions and Reviews
The author says in her notes, "...this is more a fantasy on the theme of "Prisoner X" than a true adherence to its plot." Works for me...Why you should read this: Prison dynamics, a high-voltage sexual charge, feral regression, and a thorough exploration of sexual ambivalence in terms of top/bottom power anxieties. Yum.
What might throw you off stride: Characters with names like "the Rock" and "the Weasel", a few off-key notes ("clink") here and there, and--perhaps--a certain stylization in the characterization and drama. But then, is stylization bad? This is a self-labeled fantasy, after all; and in striking a balance between stylized kink and realist nuance, this is very accomplished. In a way, I think this is a measure of the author's skill: the boundaries of fantasy are not big enough to contain her.[1]
I like the imaginative way Lenore takes off on canon in her stories. In Love's Bitch, she sheds a very interesting light on what might have happened to Jim while he was undercover in "Prisoner X" and how that experience would change his relationship with Blair.[2]
Lenore's Love's Bitch is harsh and skin-crawling and absolutely worth it - a bitter story which, in the end, leaves you raw and enlightened. [3]
