is sooo NOT YOUR MOTHERS LOVE STORY, . it has a very dark story line that would not leave me when the book was over, The clock amazing idea! I wish I had one with all the bells and whistles but
without the harsh punishments.
The ex and the emails interesting concept, Sounds like she finally got what she needed in the end,
The baby maker as another reviewer wrote "obscenely fascinating"! Although this was a good read, it was a little nasty at times.
OMG! It's like a psychiatrist wrote erotica just to give us a mindfk, These stories are so twistedly wellwritten it is impossible not to keep thinking about them, There is alot of sex in each story, there was only any discernible love in the first one, but I would be hard pressed to put this book in a porn/erotica genre, but I couldn't put it down.
"The Conjugal Clock" was my favorite, Absolute genius, potentially lifechanging, certainly cringeworthy in a few spots and totally beautiful love,
"The Man in the Middle" was totally fun, Mark is so cool, he is my hero,
"The Baby Machine" ugh, I have this love to hate Mindy thing going on, she was a total train wreck, fascinating and very unsettling.
Three novellas about women who choose to service their husbands by following instructions from some source outside their marriage.
The first follows a unique family tradition the second instuctions from her exhusband and the third, scientific principles.
Though not primarily BDSM erotica, all stories include significant sexual masochism, Ok this guy has some awesome ideas, but the pacing is way too slow, and there is not enough "action" in the book.
I got pretty bored rather quickly, I do not recommend it This was definitely not your everyday conventional romance, I don't know if I think it was a fantasy of a disgruntled man or an abused woman with low selfesteem.
In any event, I do think the book is full of the unexpected and the characters quite complex.
This book is a compilation ofshort stories that focuses on the sexual interaction of three very different marriages.
It can be a topic for hours,
In the first story: The Conjugal Clock examines how far generations of women will go to keep their family intact.
Our heroine goes from a shared love to a level of servicing her husband that she seems to pretty much disappear.
Moreover that if the wife ensures the husband's happiness, she will by extension become happier herself, Our wife here knows no limit to making her husband happy,
The second story: The Middle Man is an a study ofpeople in the relationship but not in the manner that would immediately come to mind given the topic.
It seems to stress the necessity of communication to keep the mundane at bay, Our protaginist goes to great lengths to keep a narcissist on the fringes of his life, Again our wife is the epitome of her husband's fantasy so that she can achieve happiness,
The third and final story: The Baby Maker is the authors admitted favorite story, Our wife uses blackmail to attain a husband and her goal is a foolproof scheme to allow her to have as many men and children as possible while she is young enough to have them.
The husband here is very much a participant in his wife's farfetched plan but again in an unexpected way.
Pieces of the book could be termed erotic but this isn't your typical steamy short story.
I even found myself sharing with a friend at work, Who in turn shared it with another I found this one by accident for free on bn, com, and decided just to glance through the three stories, I really enjoyed the first one, just soso on the second, and the last story was just too bizarre for words but at the same time obscenely fascinating.
The first story was about a family's tradition for keeping the sex and romance alive in a marriage.
While I question why the balance of responsibility was so significantly on the woman, I liked how the author explored accountability measures to ensure the couple made each other a priority through all of the different stages of life.
Wives in Service has three completely different stories in this anthology,
The first The Conjugal Clock was a unique view of how a woman should keep her husband happy with family punishment when she failed.
The idea is for wife keep her man happy at home to keep him from looking elsewhere for his pleasure.
Too bad more of our society today doesn't believe in this concept,
The second story, The Man in the Middle was a fun read and had some good laughs.
The third story, The Baby Machine contained some interesting ideas from a scientific point of view on reproduction and had some interesting ideas on personal relationships too.
All three stories kept my interest and I recommend this as an interesting read, The author has a good sense of humor, if unique, I am a postmodern woman who lives a vanilla life but expresses her erotic bondage fantasies by writing fiction.
