Ascendancy

by Miss Irene Clearmont

The complete three parts of Miss Irene Clearmont's story of William, a god in his own mind whose fragile kingdom is about to be revealed for the palace of paper it really is by his new maid.

Impressed by his new housekeeper’s hard-work and organisational skills, the domestically idle William cedes more and more responsibility to her without realising she has no intention of ever handing it back.

Before he knows it his life is no longer his own and he finds himself spiralling down into a life of servitude as he attempts to keep the young German girl he has become obsessed with by his side.

It would have been better for both his pride and his manhood if he had simply let her go.

William is just divorced from his wife. He cheated on her with a woman at the bank where he works. Meanwhile, one of his ex-wife's friends knows of Helga, a German au pair and housekeeper who is about to be terminated, due to her designs on the husband of the family she works for.

William is enticed to hire Helga, to "bring order to his chaotic life" made so by his recent divorce. Helga immediately sets her hooks into William and controls him through his desire for her.

The goal is to reverse roles, the servant becoming the master, enslaving William. There are delightful plot twists in this story as Helga's slow march to total dominance continues. Irene Clearmont reprises her ruthless dominant woman in this book times three. Highly recommended.

This is the story of how a woman is able to dominate an ordinary man until unexpected limits. In this sense the story is quite interesting. The book progresses at the start rather slowly, and it is not until the end when things become more interesting. In particular, when William gets married and the harder training starts. I have found this part rather arousing and kinky and quite well described.

Yet, if you dislike very wicked, selfish and sadistic women, close to inhumanity, who disdain men and do not really care about her partner then it is not a book for you. No love in this novel.

This is the worst book of Irene Clearmont I've ever read. And I've read many of her books. Although she took time to develop characters and story buildup, everything kind of failed completely. Most of the time character actions and reactions felt unreal. The tension was not real tense. The activities felt completely unsatisfying. Halfway through the book it became completely boring.

I would suggest picking another of Irene's book. She has written plenty of Femdom masterpieces.
