Joyous BDSM fantasia

While I don't have my old copy in front of me to quote from chapter and verse, I can certainly say that "Discipline of the Private House" is one of the best volumes of erotica I have ever read. Esme Ombreux writes fluently and with a definite sense of fun about the wild shenanigans of a covert society of BDSM afficianadoes who routinely draw new, naive budding sensualists into their world of polyvalent thrills. Unlike some Nexus titles, there's nothing really "mean spirited" about all these goings on, but there is plenty of explicit and imaginative sexuality. Of course it's no surprise that spirited Jem prevails over her challenges in sex slavery by the end, but what's so delightful is to follow her journey and that of her new friend, a trembling Middle Eastern ingenue who discovers several thrilling new penchants. Loads of spanking, bondage, costumes, toys, piercings, and role-play abound, along with saucy dominatrixes and sobbing, delighted subs. I'm sorry the other readers didn't enjoy this so much, but I've found the three volumes of the Private House series that I've read all delightful, and none more so than this. Like the best Black Lace titles, it's a spirited romp with a kinky spin on female power. I think this is one of the best volumes of its kind.
