Sweet Dreams begins slowly, offering a bit of disappointing bondage-lite as Richards? dream girl (Mistress Bardot) puts her slave through some benign paces such as minor food play and dildo tickling. Advise your customers to wait it out because the title definitely builds up a head of steam afterwards.

One of the more successful scenarios features Paige in a bathtub, fully bound – with the water ominously rising as Bardot eagerly conducts a near-drowning. (A bar of soap in Paige's mouth makes an appropriate gag.)

Bardot's knot-tying skills are more than acceptable, but it's Paige's innocent presence that ultimately pulls off an effective show.

In addition, frequent costume changes with an emphasis on rubber/fishnet body stockings bring some much-needed production values to a nondescript apartment.

Retailing: A new-ish line of girl/girl B&D worth supporting.
