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)

Excellent story.  I bit different for this author, but never the less,
it was top shelf.  The submissive wife and lesbian action was a real
turn on.  5 out of 5

Great story and a different view of WL Dowd.  5 out of 5  (AD)

A very mild story of a submissive finding herself with her husbands
help.  Well written but I prefer stronger fair.  3 out of 5  (Stark47)

The story of Maryanne's domination by her husband continues. A rousing
story of Maryanne as she must submit to ever more degrading service
not only to her husband but also to others he shares her with. A
worthy sequel to part 1 to be enjoyed by fans of W.L. Dowd.    5 out
of 5  (Jason)

Very enjoyable story. The bondage action started quick and never let
up. Maryann's transformation from a successful business woman to a
bisexual sex-slave at the hands of her own husband was very well
written across both books.  The bondage yacht was very creative,
although underexploited in my humble opinion.  W.L. Dowd never
disappoints me.   5 out of 5  (Tim)

Loved the husband & wife action, it's my thing!!!  The nipple piercing
and forced girl-on-girl scenes were tremendous. An excellent e-novel. 
5 out of 5  (jr)

A highly enjoyable B&D book with lots of imaginative twists and turns.
 It was a great story with lots of humiliating submission, sex and
torment for the characters. I found the parts with MaryAnn at her
office, and Richards newly enslaved trophy wife now under the control
of his lesbian ex-wife particularly exciting.  I’m hoping the bondage
yacht will bring along a 3rd book in this series.  I would love to
read more about Richards women and Charles plans for his wife.  5 out

Excellent story, look forward to the next chapter.  The testing,
education and modification of Mrs. Driscoll is well done.   I hope
more will come in the next segment.  4 out of 5

I really enjoyed the 2nd book about Mrs Driscoll and l eagerly await
the 3rd book and more excitement of the predicaments she is put in.

A very good read from Mr Dowd. Not as much torture as his talistan
books but m
just enough to please Mr and Mrs Driscoll . Great sex and nice use of
personal jewlery  5 out of 5  (homebody1)

Loved the continuation of Mrs. Driscoll Enslavement.  Would love a
sequel about the 3 day cruise on the Anastasia and the return home to
Patrick.  5 out of 5  (AD)

A good story but to mild for my tastes.  If you well written like
willing submission stories this is for you.  3 out of 5  (Stark47)

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! The "Slaveworld" series became an instant classic
when these titles first appeared in the 1990's. What's more, they've
stood the 'test of time' and remain great erotic reads..very hot,
strong and imaginative BDSM of the highest quality. Read, enjoy,
savor!  5 out of 5  (Eljay)

I have this series on paperback am delighted to see it on this site
can't wait for the next five parts a most buy so please release the
next book very soon  5 out of 5  (jj469)

Classic series.  Other world scenario now pretty common fare but
although the series  was originally published quite a few year years
back it has seldom been bettered for great, imaginative writing  5 out

Fantastic start in a great series. Cant wait for the next books. Must
read!  5 out of 5  (pogo1stick)

Interesting concept, but too long and slow.  2 out of 5

Amazing scenes and a great plot. Builds slowly and powerfully.  5 out

Well written & enjoyable book about contact being made with another
earth that still regards slavery as part of every day life.  5 out of

An interesting, some what different angle,to the story but, to me, it
somehow missed the "it" factor.  3 out of 5  (fred)

Good, lively read, with plenty of action and some variety. Very much a
fantasy.  4 out of 5

This is an amazing book.  It is like all the best parts of Story of O
and and Shades all rolled into one. It takes a while to read it not
only because it is so long but I got so turned on as I read it that I
needed to take breaks to "relieve myself".  The descriptions are very
clear and the story is full of twists that you can't help but get
involved.   5 out of 5  (Barb1970)

OMG What a book!  I just loved it.  The story was great with
unexpected twists and turns and yet it was so hot.  The BDSM scenes
were so well described that you felt like you were there.  It is even
better than 50 shades.  The character Jacqueline was well developed
and you could really relate to her   5 out of 5  (KinkyNeva)

Very well written and detailed. excellent believable BDSM storyline.
Highly recommended. I Love how each character induced and can't wait
to read part 2.  5 out of 5  (steve)

Went along great. A Victorian flagellation fest.  4 out of 5

An excellently written story with plenty of well disciplined bottoms
with a rather intriguing twist at the end - a delightful tale.  5 out

Very enjoyable pony girl book.  5 out of 5  (SM)

Ordinary, at best.   3 out of 5  (Eljay)

A bellow average narration. The story line is vague. Very poor
dialogs. The book has also quite few misspellings. Does the author
uses spell check? Not worth the money you pay for it.   1 out of 5 
(Pasha Hass)

A bit slow in the middle, but picks up at the end.  4 out of 5

Lame. A scenario is just getting started and interesting when it falls
flat for want of a proper follow through of the theme. Good concept
but not well executed.  3 out of 5  (Fred)

Wieder ein herausragendes Beispiel für anregende Literatur.
Zweiter Teil der m.E. besten Fetish-Reihe, die je erschien.

Please, give us the whole series!  5 out of 5  (pogo1stick)

Good scenes, good concepts, would have been a 5 for me if the
characters had been developed a little more in depth.  4 out of 5

Like most sequels, it did not match the original.  2 out of 5

Continues the story of Jenny, while building the world and setting up
next story's drama.  5 out of 5  (nf)

God! How I love this Author.
The stories are so believable and the descriptions of the BDSM
activities are first rate.
As a woman, I love the way he treats the female characters as
intelligent people who have desires for domination.  I wish that the
"Castila de Isabella really exists.  I would sign up in a heartbeat. I
really get turned on when I read these stories and I can hardly wait
for Book 2.
  5 out of 5  (Neva)

Excellent story, wonderfully elaborated female characters with great
personality...I really love this author and the type of themes that
are developed, wonderful, can't wait to read the sequel and I hope it
will become a 250K words book!  5 out of 5  (edsubject)

You must remember this: to (re)read a classic is still bliss!  5 out

Like most sequels, this one is a bit on the dull side.  2 out of 5

Very good tale and a good follow up to Princess in Chains.  4 out of 5

In my opinion one of the best books Peter King has written up to now.
The story starts slow but intense and for once you have no kidnapping
or blackmail. No, this story is different.
This first session tells the first encounter of Sandra and her Master.
Very SSC, it has the potential to become much much more. 
Thank you much  5 out of 5

great story, well written, realistic, meets many of my phantasies.
Looking forward reading the following chapters.  5 out of 5  (paulte

Great story - well written!! About to read the two follow ups.  5 out
of 5  (nocarrier)

When I read the story I was shocked! So much like how I run my life!
Amazing! Although my motivations and the protagonist of the story are
slightly different or at least the source of our needs are different 
and my life is a little more complicated, by the fact that I am
married and my husband does not know. But the rest is so very similar.
Why am I writing this personal information? 1 - Because it amazed me.
2- In order to indicate, to skeptics, that it exists and it real, and
not only in imagination and stories so it's a 5 of 5 story. Sure I'll
read the sequel stories.  5 out of 5  (Ruthy)

Katherine Forbes has again produced a cracker of a story that rings
all the bells for those like to see their females dominated thrashed
and f*cked in every possible way.  A true delight.  5 out of 5

Thought it was better than normal fare. I liked it. To much beating
for me. Hope to see more Apprentice Whore's.  5 out of 5  (FSG)

Disappointing. Some good ideas but characters are rather wooden.  3

Very good book with a very interesting concept for a BDSM/S&M society.
