CRIME AND PUNISHMENT

‘Wouldn’t you like to punish me?’ she giggled as she looped the thong of the bullwhip around his neck and used it to draw him into her orbit. ‘Wouldn’t you like to hear me scream for mercy?’

Desirable, scheming, degenerate, Debora Kingham is loved by three men.

Her cousin and adoptive brother, Gerald Kingham, a publisher of erotica, returning from the USA to the country of his birth, reminisces over their wild pre-teen romance of twenty years before, half-hoping, half-dreading that the flame of their immature lust will be re-ignited.

Her editor husband, Terry Hulley, father of her two children, talented yet weak, willing to turn a blind eye to her immoral behaviour and enjoy the fruits of her earnings, which include letting her body be abused to satisfy the warped fantasies of the rich, the famous, and the powerful.
Willing, that is, until now.

Her master and mentor, Nicholas Darcy, archetypal educated thug with connections in the upper echelons of government that place him beyond the reach of the law, and a penchant for extreme BDSM that Debora is eager, even desperate, to indulge. His hold over her is absolute; the extent of her submission to his sadistic will knows no bounds.

Explicit flashbacks of Debora and Gerald’s under-age passion intersperse the action in which he strives to behave with brotherly propriety in the face of her brazen come-ons, only to be drawn into her sleazy world of sexual excess where whippings are just the tip of the iceberg.

This is an intriguing well-written novel that examines the intense relationship between Gerald and his cousin Debby. The beginning suggests that there’ll be BDSM throughout the book, but that would be misleading. The erotic elements are on the whole tastefully related, especially as they involve under-age sexual awakening.

The present is 1986, when Gerald and Debby are adults; the flashbacks disclose their growing infatuation as pre-teens, before they went their separate ways. Gerald discovers that Debby has been involved with the London gangster Darcy for the last twenty years. Worse, she is blackmailing her clients and is under threat of arrest. Gerald feels he has no option but to extricate her from her predicament. But he hasn’t reckoned on the magnetic hold Darcy has on Debby.

There’s humour in the relationship of the two pre-teens as well as passion. Debby and Gerald are believable characters, and they keep the reader turning the pages. There is some sympathy for Debby’s constantly cuckolded husband Terry. And Darcy has the potential to become a dastardly villain later on in the series, though I’d preferred to see more of him in this book.

The book falls between two stools – erotic and suspense – so it may not easily find an audience.

FIFTY SHADES OF GREY BUT MORE SO ...

Lurid account of an extended sexfest between adoptive siblings, from pre-pubescence to adulthood. From an early age the girl gets her highs from sex with pain, and the boy goes along for the ride. After a twenty year enforced separation they are reunited by a family bereavement. By this time the girl, now a woman, is into BDSM in a big way, her desires being catered for by a high-born villain, who uses her to fleece rich straying husbands. The 'brother' tries to rescue and reform her, but comes into conflict with the interests of her associate in crime and is simultaneously drawn into her sleazy lifestyle, as the clock is turned back 20 years. Not sure if I loved this book or hated it, but it kept me turning the pages.

Not a book for the narrow minded, 'Suffering' confronts some deeply-held taboos such as incest, sado-masochism and pre-teen sex. Yet it is not just another dose of fashionable soft porn. The deep relationship between Debby and Gerald, the two main characters, gives the story an emotional heart.The fast-moving narrative constantly shifts between the past and the present, so that we understand the complex motivation behind their actions. There is a hefty swipe at the hypocrisy of supposedly reputable public figures whose seedy and perverted private lives leave them wide open to blackmail. The ending is left open for a sequel, which I look forward to reading.

A six star read! Need I say more? I will anyway. Briefly the story is about 2 kids who embark on a full blooded love-in at age 12 or thereabouts. This is in flashback. In the present day they get back together after two decades of being apart and pretty soon are lusting after each other like they’d never been gone. Trouble is, the girl has gone bad and is in cahoots with a bigtime crook and also into bigtime BDSM. Sensitively written though and quite a bit of humour to soften the nastiness. I read it in two sittings. Best news of all for me, there’s a sequel coming. Can’t wait!

Had a little trouble getting into this unique novel -- think I was expecting S & M Shades of Grey -- but very quickly was captured by the well drawn characters, the wonderful descriptions of the English countryside, playground for young Debby and Gerald, and the undercurrent of mystery in the relationship between Debby and Darcy.

Preteen sexuality, quite explicit plays a major role at the outset, but is handled so tastefully that the reader quickly develops a real sympathy for both Debby and Gerald and at times is quite funny, which as it should be.

Looking forward to the sequel…
