I would rate this somewhere at 3,5 to 4. The basic story and scenes
are nice. The end is not a surprise at all.  4 out of 5  (Germanikus)

Excellent book! Great BDSM action from beginning to end.  Never a slow
moment.  This author has moved into my top 5 authors.  I can't wait
for his next work.  5 out of 5  (Sir Kaiser)

In the 'Afterword' to this story the author notes that it's a
departure from his usual non-consensual work and asks for
readers'comments. My advice: return to his earlier/usual stories ASAP.
While a well-written work, this story follows the setting and
well-trodden path of literally hundreds of other D/S novels, while the
imagination, scope and strength of his earlier, non-consensual
settings have much more limited competition and even fewer peers. It's
basically a difference between being good-to-very-good among many or
being truly notable among a select few!   3 out of 5  (Veritas)

Loved it, 5 stars. Don't stop! This was very exciting.  5 out of 5

A bit different from the author's usual flavor however the story
presents a descriptive and rousing tale of domestic domination of a
submissive wife to her demanding husband.  A story sure to please the
fans of this genre.    5 out of 5  (jason)

I did like this book about a beautiful lady submitting to her husband
and new dom, I would have liked a couple more chapters possibly
witnessing the nipple piercing  5 out of 5  (homebody1)

As a female D/S fanatic of sorts, the story was a seductive work of
art.  My body tingled from start to finish.  My only complaint thus 4
stars, it should have been twice as long. It felt like Maryann's
adventure was only just beginning.  4 out of 5  (slave t)

The theme of a pretty rich girl succumbing to her suppressed sexual
desires at the hands of her unexpectedly dominant husband is a very
entertaining thing for me.  I particularly enjoyed the way she was
drawn into experiencing her extreme fantasies in such a public and
deeply humiliating way.  Kudos to W.L. Dowd on this one!  5 out of 5

A little too soft on the BDSM side. Good story tho  3 out of 5

Certainly a slightly softer side to this author, but 100% enjoyable
for sure.  The characters are well developed and I hope we get to read
more about Charles and Maryann.  I expect it’s inevitable that Maryann
gets her nipples ringed soon.  5 out of 5  (steve)

An exceptional story of an introduction to submission.  The party
scene set up and description of the activities were very good.  Mr. &
Mrs. Driscoll are very well drawn characters.  Look forward to further
adventures of this couple  5 out of 5

I think this is a great build up to a very submissive conclusion for
Mrs Driscoll. I liked that her own curiosity was the source of the
change in their relationship (as was mine) although I was left
wondering how Charles became part of an obviously well established
club. However, his patience in waiting for her to come to the
fulfilment of her desires through his earlier but unacknowledged
discovery of these hit a note with me. My reasons for giving a 4
instead of a 5 are only two: that, as with most Silver Moon books, it
has the usual lack of decent proofreading (and yes, i would happily
help with this); and that it could have done with being longer! I like
reading non-consensual stories as fantasy but I appreciate the author
spending time on my preferred type of theme.  4 out of 5  (SubRat)

Interesting theme. Unique to me. In a couple of places I was left
pondering. Overall good.  4 out of 5  (Fred)

As a woman, I love this author who writes wonderfully erotic BDSM
stories but recognises that women who are submissive are perfectly
normal, intelligent, happy people.  This story is his best yet (and
that is really saying something).  I love the way the characters are
people that you can really relate to and get into their head as they
submit themselves to the many sexual tortures in store for them.  The
torture events are beautifully described.  And the story unfolds
logically and engrossingly.   5 out of 5  (Neva)

Excellent S&M tale. Exceptional use of devices.  The characterizations
and pain descriptions were exceptional.  5 out of 5  (Les)

I wish the rating included a 10; this book certainly rates it.  from
suppressed feminist lady barrister to terrible torment, and with her
daughter watching and requesting that she be caned right Now.  Why she
was willing to be caned for her daughter's transgressions was at
question, was that her real motivation??  Find out in this delightful
book.  And what comes after gets Really interesting.  5 out of 5

The 2nd part is even better and with excellent writing. GREAT JOB.
HIGH RECOMMEND.  5 out of 5  (steve)

Superb story.  This was a great follow up to the first story.  This
story greatly increased the S&M aspect of these wonderful characters. 
The torture auction was an especially great addition.  I hope that we
will see more stories with the excellent cast rhat has been developed
here.  5 out of 5  (Les)

This book is even better than "Deeper Shades".  The story is
captivating and OH! so sexy.  The first person narrative lets you
really get into Jacqueline's head and become totally absorbed by her
lust, love, fear and pain.  There are many complex characters all
participating in a great story.  You had better allow a day to read
this great novel and be sure to have a vibrator or a loving partner
handy because you will become so very aroused as you read this.  I
would love to see this series made into a movie. I just loved it so
much. Please! Please make this a trilogy.   5 out of 5  (Neva)
