Well, if you are picking up this book I'd suggest you prepare yourself for a very wild ride.
This book in the Secret Confessions: Sydney Housewives = Nella is a full-on erotic story about the very private play date of a husband and wife team. He works hard, she works him harder. The dynamics between them work for this pair and I came away feeling quite smug knowing their little secret.

Cathleen Ross presents book three in Escape Publishing's Secret Confessions: Sydney Housewives series and boy oh boy does she deliver.

Nella is an unashamedly strong, take-no-prisoners kind of woman; dedicated to her charitable work, the Double Diamond Dinner Club, her friends and her marriage. Her no-nonsense approach is refreshing and certainly entertaining to read. I think too, Nella's character and story really encapsulates the essence of secret confessions aspect of the series.

Wow, totally not what I expected. I've never read any BDSM with a female Domme - so this was a first for me. For the length of the story, the characters were developed beautifully, and they did have a lovely emotional connection regardless of the sub/dom relationship they have going in private.

This isn't one I'd recommend for the unadventurous!! It's a pretty intense read, but well written and certainly eye opening!

5 Stars.

Recommends it for: fans of scorching hot romance
Recommended to Sam Still Reading by: enjoying the series
I’m really enjoying this series, secret confessions of a number of rich women in Sydney, Australia (not just housewives, but a range of ages too). After the scorching Lana, I should have known that this series is up for anything! Still, I was surprised and intrigued by Nella’s story. Nella sounds like a more mature woman to me (her stepdaughter Sienna is the subject of the next story) and she has a happy marriage with husband Michael. She’s in control of everything she does but I wasn’t really e ...more

Nella is a middle aged lady who is a Domme. She loves to have control over her very successful husband. Nella always commands her pet to do everything that she likes and then allows him his pleasure. Nella humiliates her pet and brings him release and relaxation at the same time.

Michael is so in control of his successful life and is a billionaire but looses all control when it comes to his loving wife. He trusts Nella and knows that she will do nothing to hurt him and that they both know the sa

This housewife takes us on a Dom-sub ride, with Nella being the Domme to her bazillionaire Michael. It's an interesting dynamic and Cathleen Ross shows us both sides of the dynamic. This book will make men squirm...but I enjoyed the ride! ...more

I loved this story. Domme stories are hard for me to get into...I like my alpha males. But this held my attention. I thought it was brave writing.

If from Cathleen Ross you expect outrageously sexy with a good serve of humor, you won’t be disappointed in this one!

Nella is the first Domme story I've read and wow what a scorching ride it is! I love the interaction between Nella and her billionaire businessman husband, Michael, which is both hot and fun! ...more
WTF Are You Reading?
Nella's story is where readers really get the sense of differences in individual writing styles among this series' varying authors.

Where both Virgina's and Lana's stories had been very emotionally raw, up close, and personal. The story told here is told with a detached precision that is almost clinical.
Though this may be somewhat off putting at first, it soon becomes apparent that the BDSM nature of Nella and Michael's tale, lends itself to said style in a very appropriate pairing.

Although fans

Wickedly Sexy

Nella likes to control and this control extends to being in charge of meeting the needs of Michael, her husband. This read explores in delicious detail how Michael gains relief from his stressful career as a top executive through Nella’s loving dominance, as described in a wickedly sexy role play scene between them. As someone whose reads often explore the male as the dominant and the woman as the submissive this was a refreshing and somewhat challenging read for me, as it turns wha
