Secrets Of A Reluctant Mistress: Domination And Submission Paperback – September 8, 2014

A good story of Sissy maid evolution and control by a wife who while reluctant to become a mistress quickly accepts her role and relishes in the power of it in order to make her life easy and fun (for her). She takes full charge of hubby and controls him in a way that is consensual and appears fun for both. She stresses the need for each to get something from their role in order to make it work long term.One big criticism regarding being able to give this to my own wife as an introduction to her ideas is that while the title refers to a reluctant mistress she quickly substitutes the word dominatrix for mistress throughout the book. While dictionary definitions may support her substition, societal perseptions do not. The word conjures up a different mental image to the reader making it less inviting for a submissive like me to give or recommend to his partner while being sensitive to that partners need to wrap their head around the concept of becoming a mistress.I took away one star for that reason.

Secrets of a Reluctant Mistress Domination and Submission is the best of Janice C. Parker's eight books. I have read them all. This latest is well articulated and offers more insight as the author has opened up her relationship even more with her sissy maid husband Merri. She seems to be more strict than ever. The life of a full time sissy maid as Ms. Parker would have it is truly daunting to contemplate. Her relationship has evolved as her understanding has grown and her caring control of her maid has kept expanding. She has recognized that her style of dress does indeed impact the submissiveness and obedience of her maid where as in earlier books she basically said the Mistress should just wear whatever is comfortable and so on. The chapter on cross-dressing addresses the plight of the straight male (likely the most despised and discriminated against sub group in the country) who greatly desires to serve a Mistress as a feminine maid who wants most to please his Mistress hopefully while being allowed/commanded to indulge in his cross dressing fantasies. While she stops short of saying this is unfair or should be changed (come on Mistress Janice you could have taken a strong position on this), she does point out the great risk the heterosexual male takes when donning his uniform maid's dress. The trust in the Mistress must be great for this to happen. Any potential male who fits this description and hopes his wife would take control ought to buy this book and present it to his wife.After finishing this book, I went back and starting looking through the other seven books by this author ( I write notes and underline all over my books in red ink - perhaps so when that Mistress finds me she will find all this red ink and I will be a maid forever) and realized that the purchase should really include Become A Sissy Maid and Keep Your Husband Your Maid. Just remember: Once a maid, always a maid. There is no going back.Yes I am jealous of Merri and envious of her lifestyle.I would also love for Mistress Janice to include in her next book a list of her favorite romance novels which she mentioned she likes to read. These would be the ones she would love to have any sissy maids be required to read. You know: the ones where we can identify with the heroines in their tight laced corsets and huge hoop skirted dresses ...and so on... as sissy maids need guidance in all of their endeavors.
