Miranda Covington supports herself in Boston while working on her degree in poetry as an artist’s model.  After having a one night stand with her oil delivery man, Patrick, she realizes she loves dominant powerful men.  Patrick stroked a part of her that her younger boyfriends have never touched.  Yet she is torn since she knows nothing about him other than he is married and can command her body to heights of passion she has never known.

Enter Michael Keneen, an artist pursuing his Masters in Fine Arts and captivated by the beautiful Miranda.  Knowing that he can never capture her beauty and grace on paper he still struggles to find a semblance of her inner glow on the pages of his sketch pad.  He decides to pursue her and find a way into her heart.  Miranda is overwhelmed by Michael and feels he could be her soul mate.  Yet she is scared that she could lose him because of her affair with Patrick but is willing to take a chance.  Can the budding love survive the power of Miranda’s desires?

Ms. Pita once again entrances the reader with the flowing melody of her words, the detailed and intriguing characters, and the passionate demonstration of love and submission freely given.  Miranda is a confident woman, who loves her life and embraces it while seeking more from it.  With Patrick she discovers a part of herself she didn’t know existed.  Their rutting pushes her buttons.  Even though she is happy with the quick passion Patrick gives her, she desires more.  Michael is confident and so incredibly sexy.    He looks for nothing beyond his art and within it he finds the beautiful Miranda.  His pursuit is relentless and he desires to please her with dominance and finds that it fits his powerful, confident, quiet persona.  Their love affair touches quick at the soul. The sex had me wishing for an entire new set of toys.  The passion is a blazing inferno of lust, love, and surrender for all involved.  My only wish is that more detail had been given about Miranda’s growth with other secondary characters, who are whole and enchanting.  Intriguing possibilities were left unanswered, which left me unfulfilled.  If you are a lover of BDSM books then you will love the latest release from Ms. Pita.  If you want a glimpse into the intrinsic beauty of a submissive and the love they share with their Master, then this is a story that must not be missed.

Coffee Time Romance

Miranda Covington appears to be a typical twenty-three year old Catholic woman, but the way she supports herself is quite unconventional. She is an artist’s model, posing nude unselfconsciously in front of a class of college art students. Then one day she locks eyes with a handsome artist while posing, and mentally declares him her other half. She fights with her conscience and her honesty demands she be truthful, but yields unexpected bonuses.
 
Michael is a drop-dead gorgeous artist from a family of policemen, defying his assumed destiny to explore his art. Approaching the act of recreating on canvas what he sees in real life, as if it is a sacred ceremony, he glimpses a model that strikes at his heart with a thunderbolt of recognition, and knows she is his. What he discovers about her suits him to perfection. Will he find out anything disturbing?
 
Miranda and Michael begin the voyage towards inner knowledge, each discovering new insights into themselves. Miranda explores her dark yearnings, while Michael draws them out and magnifies them, both evolving into more mature adults, growing in their intimacy. They have to face some incriminating information that will ultimately either break them, or strengthen their bond. Power is an addictive force, be it wielded by force or by law. Only the one in possession of it can decide its use. Are soul mates found, or made?
 
Ms. Maria Isabel Pita has written a beautiful book of self-discovery and acceptance. The subject of BDSM is, in itself, very interesting and with this book the reader is allowed the opportunity to explore those boundaries safely. Miranda’s quandary is her apparent need for punishment and forgiveness, possibly stemming from her Catholic upbringing. Michael, with his rebellious streak, finds that while turning his back on what is a generations old tradition is fulfilling, he is also following another more darkly exhilarating path. The sexual encounters were intense and Miranda’s submissiveness allows her permission to act on her kinky inclinations without guilt. I found Ms Pita’s prose to be engaging and intellectually challenging. I absolutely loved it.

Erotica by Clohi Review

Not too long ago, I had the pleasure of reviewing Maria Isabel Pita's Guilty Pleasures. I found that book to be well written, engaging and tantalizing. When I received a copy of Maria's A Brush With Love, I was excited. One word of warning. Never do what I did and read this book while on a plane. Anguish I tell you.

A Brush With Love is the story of Miranda, an artist's model who specializes in sitting nude. One night, quite by accident, Miranda begins to realize that she has a submissive side she wasn't aware of. Attracted to a married stranger in black, Miranda does the unthinkable and has wild unadulterated sex with him. Not long after she meets Michael, an artist. The two quickly become inseperable and Michael plays to Miranda's need to be submissive, controlled. This is the story of a woman becoming her master's slave and loving it.

The story that Maria Isabel Pita paints is intriguing and intelligent. This isn't just sex, though that is the primary thread throughout. It's about self discovery and trust. When Miranda confesses her fantasies to Michael, she puts her trust in him to the test. Is she willing to do everything he tells here, without question? The relationship that develops is loving with an edge to it that just made the reading more unstoppable.

I wasn't prepared for every twist and turn and I will admit that some of the situations were a little over the edge for me. However, A Brush With Love is worth everyone's time. Especially if you have discovered you have a slightly submissive streak of your own (like I have). And again, don't read while mid-flight. Unless you really love to torture yourself. In which case, maybe you should get to know your neighbor and see what happens.

THE ROMANCE STUDIO

In Arlington, Massachusetts, a woman is about to embark on a journey of self-discovery, into a dimension and a lifestyle as yet unknown to her. Miranda is young but wise enough to know that an impetus is needed-a catalyst-to propel her into a new and entirely other dimension of living. Miranda’s senses are constantly attuned to both her inner and outer environment, so life is never boring; but she realizes that more life does indeed exist, and she is growing almost impatient. One evening as she signs for a oil delivery at her apartment, the delivery driver, who is nearly thirty years older and unhappily married, seizes the opportunity to have relations with her, and since he is rather forceful about it, Miranda submits and enjoys.

The next day she poses as a life model for a class at Harvard, quite a different experience from her usual employment as model at Mass Art. Michael, one of the students, is a native artiste from a family of generations of police officers, someone who early on knew his place in life and that he had not been born into that role. For Miranda, who has long known she is seeking a new role for herself, Michael is about to open a door to another dimension and ask her to cross through.

Maria Isabel Pita is truly a poet in prose, as evidenced in other of her stories, and A Brush With Love is no exception. She gently draws the reader through the minds and soulscapes of the lead characters, Miranda and Michael, but also of other secondary figures, such as Patrick, the almost-stranger with whom Miranda experiences her first wildly-gratifying submissive fling. Certainly any reader is going to wish to keep a full ice bucket near at hand as it will be needed even before the first chapter can be completed!
