Book Description:
Nine and a Half Weeks is a true story so unusual, so passionate, and so extreme in its psychology and sexuality that it will take your breath away.
Elizabeth McNeill was an executive for a large corporation when she began an affair with a man she met casually. Their sexual excitement depended on a pattern of domination and humiliation, and as their relationship progressed they played out ever more dangerous and elaborate variations on that pattern of sadomasochism. By the end, Elizabeth had relinquished all control over her body -- and her mind.
With a cool detachment that makes the experiences and sensations she describes all the more frightening in their intensity, Elizabeth McNeill deftly unfolds her story and invites you into the mesmerizing and dangerous world of Nine and a Half Weeks -- a world you won't soon forget.
Elizabeth McNeill is a pseudonym. At the time of the book’s writing and original publication, McNeill lived in New York, where she worked as an executive for a large corporation.

My Review:
This is one of those books that I have heard about, but never actually read. I saw the movie based on the book a long time ago, but didn't remember the storyline. It's actually a fascinating book. It's a story of a successful business woman, she meets a successful business man. They like each other and they begin dating. At first, he is very interesting and she likes him a lot. The relationship soon takes a dark turn and changes her life forever.
This is based on a true story. I think the part that makes it fascinating is that she tells the story so calmly, almost coldly, like she wasn't even there. Maybe that is the only way she can tell it without going crazy. Really fascinating book.
I'm going to save this one for a Romance/Erotic bookbox that should be coming soon.

From Princess-peapod's Erotic bookbox
This book is an austere telling of a love affair that quickly descends into a domination/submission relationship. Very intriguing story that is told in a manner-of-fact voice.
