Why should a professional woman divorce the husband she has grown bored with and allow him to share in her wealth? Especially when he is already house-trained and shows much potential as a chastised and cuckolded manservant – even if he doesn't yet know it!
Another tale of female empowerment and domestic and sexual discipline from the glorious Miss Irene, this one on the subject of a controlling and sadistic wife and her equally devious and dominant mother.
I can't believe this story is written by Irene Clearmont. There is poor buildup and characterization, which doesn't usually happen in Irene's long stories. No explanation was provided for why a dominant woman like Jackie would start hating a submissive house-husband to the level she needs to divorce him. There are relationship is already to the level she can easily cuckold him. But she chooses to divorce him. The measures taken to achieve that goal is the only thing that makes it feel Irene's book, because those measures are very cruel. But I won't call it a good story.
Jackie is tired of Pete and wants to divorce him. But she also wants the entire estate they have built up. So she plays a series of "games" with Pete "to make their marriage better." Each time she pushes Pete deeper, she gives him a choice and each "right" choice he makes is yet another bad one, pushing him further into an hellish descent into more depravity.
Jackie is relentless and the relentless, cruel woman is Miss Clearmont's forté. In the end, Pete finds himself divorced and with a life in front of him that he cannot imagine.
A power relationship - one with all the cards (the dominant female of course), the other, the husband gradually dragged low by the process of divorce. A sexily written tale of a scheming woman and her hapless husband. The powerful image of female authority on the cover tells you exactly what you're getting.
