"""Female/female spanking fiction. Can it get any better? I am repeatedly joyful to have found Anastasia's blog and books. I love how she utilizes first person perspective in her stories. As a lover of learning- in addition to female/female spanking :D- I loved how the story was layered with details around the main character's learning of Chinese. The teacher/student relationship was entrancing, beautiful. The rod of love was a wonderful touch!"""

Anastasia is a fine writer. Her stories are funny, touching and insightful, her characters layered and believable. The main character, Mira, is a young girl, venturing out on her own, stepping into a big and frightening world. She learns her own strengths and weaknesses, and finds love in unexpected corners. This book definitely is a must-read.

Desire in Any Language is a poignant story recounting a young women's awakening to love, and her desire and compelling need for discipline. The story centers on Mira’s adventures attending school abroad. She struggles to find the motivation and discipline to succeed in school. Ms. Ana takes us on a journey that is eloquently written. We delight in each moment, recognizing every thought and action Mira feels. She discovers a pure non sexual love through the tenderness and discipline of her tutor. This love that transcends gender is like water and nourishes her soul. Her growing self -awareness shines a light on a secret desire to be spanked. Once Mira begins to blossom in school and her confidence grows, she learns to embrace her desires and needs. Here Mira succeeds in her own eyes therefore leading the way for other loves. Ana is a true story teller. Every time I read this I am mindful of the different meanings that create a wakeful response in me. She weaves layers and little glimpses of symbolism throughout the book. Look for the flowers and you will understand.

I just finished reading this book and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved the journey that Mira went through as the realisation of what she needed dawned on her. I cried when she finally found love. I would LOVE to read a sequel to this book.

I absolutely loved this book! I am in a male led HOH relationship with my husband. I had never considered reading a F/F book before because of a preconceived notion that it was going to be female porn. But this was the most beautifully written story I have read in a long time. The main character's desire to be loved, spanked, safe, secure - are all the same desires I have for my husband. And it was not done sexually. It was done through a sisterly bond, that was beautifully written. I could totally relate to this young woman. The other parts of the story were done so tastefully, that I did not feel dirty afterwards. (And I have read M/F stories before that have made me want to shower afterwards just to wipe off the dirty feeling.) This story was cleansing to me. It helped me to remember the important aspects in a spanking relationship; trust, vulnerability, hope, security, and love. And sex was not a part of it, none was it needed. I will definitely read her next story.

"""Desire in any Language is a beautiful story which manages to be about wanting, needing and finally getting discipline with spankings so subtly described that as readers we're allowed to insert our own images, feelings and emotions into what's happening. That’s so much more powerful than reading a spank-by-the-numbers account. Mira's feelings towards her tutor are a schoolgirl crush at its best, and her journey of self-awareness, with it's false steps and self-doubt, is a journey I think most of us have taken. What I look for like in a spanking story is simple. Wonderful writing, great characters and a story that could stand alone even if the spankings were removed. Desire in any Language has those qualities in abundance. Ana Vitsky shows that the most important element in spanking stories, like in life, is love."""

An engrossing story about a girl who embarks on a journey to learn a language, But what she gets instead is the discovery of her deepest desires. This amazing story by Ana Vitsky, was definitely more than I expected, a must-read for all F/F afictionados, an enlightening discovery for M/F lover.

Truly a wonderful book about a young woman who is tryign to find out just who she relaly is and all in a strange country. She has to come to turns with many things that are not what many would consider normal and the best way to cope. All the scenes were quite descriptive and really sucks you in right to the end.

This is a beautiful book about characters with real depth and subtle nuancing. The book explores Mira's desire and intrigue for discipline, which she finds through her kind-hearted tutor. Their relationship does not venture into erotic, though there are undercurrents of sexual tension. If you're expecting hot and heavy girl on girl, you won't find it, but what you will find is a depth and deliciousness uncommon to spanking fiction.

I loved this book by Ms Anna. Was not at all what I was expecting. It is a truly beautiful read of a young women finding herself and trying to understand the emotions & desires she is feeling. It is a wonderful coming out piece for all of us who are trying to come to grips with what we need want or crave and what our head is trying to rationalize.Great mix of sweet & serious throught out the book. Some very powerful moments in the book that show the love and the support we all crave and need in different ways from friends and new love blossoming on the horizon. Ready to read more about Mira.

The new book from Anastasia Vitsky is for me a sensitive, emotional, warm-hearted, well written story of a young woman and her struggle to understand herself and to take care of her own needs. When I started reading I couldn't stop before the end, because I wanted to know what happens next. The end of the book stimulates the imagination of the future for Mira and gives the hope of a second part.

I truly loved this novel. It is a uniquely honest story of a young woman coming of age in a new country while perfectly capturing her vulnerability, insecurity, and self doubt as she learns who she is, what she's made of, & comes to terms with her needs & desires. It was a beautiful story that left me longing for more.

I just finished reading Mira’s journey. It is such an honest look at a young woman’s struggle to understand her needs and desires as well as her search for unconditional acceptance. Must read for anyone, no matter what your sexual orientation! Thank you to Anastasia for such a lovely journey.

In this wonderful short story, young Mira finds herself in several strange worlds at once. Studying to become a translator in a strange language, she finds herself in a country that is completely different. People interact in complicate ways and there is always the possibility of making mistakes when interacting with people. Unfortunately, because of her only beginning knowledge of that strange language, she learns from her study books more about its fairy tales than about the country itself. At the same time she is discovering a whole new world in herself. Her beginning interests in being spanked are even stranger to her than that strange country is. Anastasia's latest book tells us about Mira's discoveries in both new worlds. In the end the reader will certainly want to know how Mira's story continues. We will have to pester Ana to tell us more!

Well this is my second spanking book to read by this author and I am going to have to give this book 4 1/2 stars or wine glasses in my case. At times I felt as though the main character kept trying to not pass her classes so she could be punished. Which after I spoke to the author she explained to me that she thought she could get spanked for the wrong reasons instead of for the right reason. So that made sense to me. There is one scene in the book that I know most people would say oh my goodness why would she write that, but I was glad she wrote it in the book. Because to me it seemed as though the author was making a point as to be careful who you want to spank you! It may not be all sugar and spice. The reason I gave this book 4 1/2 stars is because I would sometimes had to go back and re-read a page to understand what was going on within the story. This spanking book is a good one that would be good for introducing one into spanking! This is f/f spanking, there is no vulgar language.

This spanking story is different from any other I've read which is usually spanking as part of a D/s relationship, but now I have had a taste (thank you Ana) I can't wait for what other delicious stories the author hits us with ;o) I love Mira the main character and really feel how special a bond she's developed with other people around her as she's away from home and family. The end will leave you wanting more, which is always the best way to end a good book.

For Mira, studying abroad to become a translator, life should be about studying and trying to pass her classes. Instead, she spends too much time partying and not enough time hitting the books. Then she discovers that her tutor – a woman just a few years older than herself – has a way of refocusing her students’ attention. The Rod of Love. Mira is horrified at first, but then fascinated by the prospect of being caned, and her discipline gradually takes on deeper meaning as does her relationship with her tutor. Desire in Any Language deserves to be in a class of its own within the spanking fiction genre. To relate the plot and story cannot begin to describe the uniqueness and literary quality of this novel. Yes, literary. Anastasia Vitsky writes beautifully of flawed, but sympathetic characters while weaving a universal story of friendship and love. While by no means a sad story, an underlying moodiness pervades this book, a current of melancholy that propels the story and Mira on her path of self-discovery. Desire in Any Language should be on everyone’s reading list, whether or not one reads spanking fiction.

I loved this book so much that I read it again the second day. When I read it the first time, I didn't want it to end. There are some scenes that don't seem to fit with the narrative style of the rest of the piece, but they're necessary to the overall flow of the story. Both the female characters were well-written, and I could identify with them on different levels. Lovely and emotional-- the good kind of emotions.

I felt that this story was rich, real and honest. It was a lot of fun learning about the culture and bits of the language through Mira and her teachers. I loved that this book showed the magic of language; how some words can be so universal and how others really depend on one's understanding of the culture and underlying context. There's a purity in the bond between Mira and her advisor, where love is unconditional and more sisterly; where Mira gets guidance and support in the form of spankings and the occasional scolding. In addition to that, Mira's struggle to understand her interest felt real and honest and I think a lot of us out there can relate to that. I loved the many scenes captured in the story; the bar, the playground, Mira's advisor getting angry, the lecture rooms, conversations with strangers, Mira's conversations with her housemate after clubbing and so many more. I found the scenes easy to visualise and emotions from the characters felt real. The story is a thoughtful one and I enjoyed the journey into another culture and a different angle love. I hope Mira's story does not end here :) I love this book!
