Bound to Succeed – The Complete Set

Judy Dinard is thirty-six, married to Bill, and has been making chicken stew and attending coffee mornings since she left school. The twins are at university in Newcastle. The house is immaculate. She is going to lose her mind.

The advertisement says an attractive lady is required to sell the services of Bound to Succeed Logistics, no experience necessary. Judy circles it in red pen and tells Bill she is going for an interview. Bill tells her she is bound to fail. Judy has heard this before and is, by now, entirely immune to it.

Bound to Succeed is the complete series, following Judy from her first afternoon in John Grant’s office through the full arc of a career that bears no resemblance whatsoever to anything she imagined when she circled that advertisement.

The interview establishes the terms clearly. Bound to Succeed Logistics retains its clients not by being the cheapest but by being the most accommodating, and the previous sales representative was, John explains, very happy to do literally anything to make a sale. Most of the clients take the company name seriously. Judy is tied to the chair before the end of the first meeting, her favourite white lace bra in two pieces on the office floor, and she has the best orgasm of her adult life before she pulls her coat closed around her ruined clothes and walks past the receptionist and out into the afternoon.

She starts on Monday.

Pamela Michaels writes Judy in the first person, with the specific warmth and wit of a woman who is discovering things about herself at thirty-six that Bill’s Saturday evening routine never came close to and who finds the discovery both alarming and entirely welcome. The clients are middle-aged men and some very strong women, and each of them has specific requirements that Judy is, it turns out, extremely well suited to meet. The bondage is explicit and fully described. The spankings are bare and thorough. The sex is written from the inside, with the particular quality of a woman who spent eighteen years going to the bathroom afterwards to finish herself off and has decided, with some finality, that this is no longer acceptable.

This book contains explicit M/F and F/F erotic spanking, bondage and restraint, bare bottom correction, hand spanking, paddle and strap use, BDSM power dynamics, full nudity, and graphic sexual content between consenting adults.
