My Private Life

LOVED this book and the reality and exploration of it. it's a recommended read for all those interested in kink and bdsm exploration no matter where you are.

I was initially drawn to this book due to the title, "My Private Life", having somewhat of a private life Myself with balancing My time between being a professional manager and an occasional Domme. We learn a little about Mistress Nan, learning that She is a wife, a mother, a professional Woman, and has live in Female and male slaves. That's about it though. I really wish she would have showed us more of a glimpse into the private inner workings of her life, regarding Her relationship with Her husband, etc. Having said all that, I did enjoy the book. Although I am a straight Woman Myself, the scenes that She described with Her female submissives were interesting. I am typically not a fan of the "overly sexual" bdsm scenes that seem so fake and nauseating. This book described more the power exchange within each scene and was not overly sexual. The book has many frequent spanking scenes, between Mistress Nan and both male and female submissives. One interesting thing about the book as well is the use of a slave memoir within the text, with one chapter being a summary from one of Her slaves. I feel that the book seemed realistic, especially the multiple chapters of the different characters. I recommend the book, especially for those into lesbian scenes, bondage, whips, spanking and caning.

I received this book for a birthday gift and I was pleasantly suprised. Mistress Nan is real and very honest with every scene and in her own desires as well. I don't want to spoil the book, however every scene she describes you can "feel" some of the pain and humiliation that her slaves endure...espically Alex. There are 8 chapters dedicated to her, describing their various scenes/relationship and how Mistress Nan is on her own personal conquest to "break" her.

This book is a great peak in to some aspects of the BDSM world of one Mistress. It shows her journey in a way that most books miss. I trully enjoyed it on several levels.

This is the first book I've ever read that I feel is real. This woman has experienced what she has written about. It is NOT fantasy. She has honed her skills to a point that she is an expert at the exchange of power that is paramount to a BDSM scene. This book isn't all about pain or bondage. This book isn't all about fantasies. This book is about power, control and sensuality. You hear about her feelings while she is doing what she is doing. You hear about what her bottoms are feeling. You learn how she gets into their heads and hearts. I'm amazed at the candor with which she writes. This woman is obviously gifted with an amazing power, and is amazingly generous in sharing it with the public.
