Former schoolmistress, Hannah Smart runs into a former student, Lionel Oxley and thus begins a seductive game of Stern Schoolmistress Punishes the Naughty Schoolboy. Even though it has been ten years since she taught him she recognizes him and he her. After some awkward conversation, Lionel screws up the nerve to confess to Hannah that he had fantasies about her when she was his teacher. Hannah, only mildly surprised since it is a fairly common occurrence, took the confession in stride until Lionel also confessed that also imagined being punished by her. It at this point that Hannah reaches a crossroads in her life. She can brush off Lionel or see where this confession will lead. She chooses the latter and her life veers into a whole new direction, much to her surprise and to Ronald Wheatley, her husband.

This is an interesting true story about a schoolmistress doling out punishment to a naughty schoolboy now in his 20s thus fulfilling a long term fantasy of his. Hannah’s life changes in ways she never imagined possible and more to her surprise, so does Ronald. The circumstances are unusual, but not far-fetched and it’s interesting to hear Hannah’s reasoning behind it all. Unfortunately, while I enjoyed Hannah’s tale, there was too much introspection for my liking. It made the reading drag for me since I like stories with more action. All-in-all an interesting story about someone finding out something about themselves they had no idea was there and that something is kinky. Plus, a Stern Schoolmistress. Hello! Can’t go wrong with that.… (lisätietoja)
