Publisher's summary

"No! Please Sir! It HURTS TOO MUCH Sir!"

"It’s for your own good, Tom, so stick that bottom UP!"

When handsome, new shop assistant Tom is rude and obnoxious to a valued customer, he discovers the painful way to learn to be polite - through the indignity of hard, regular spankings and canings applied to his upturned bare bottom. The irate customer, Mr. Parkinson, is expert at severe and humiliating corporal punishment for misbehaving adults. It’s so embarrassing, and it hurts so much - but soon, Tom’s fear and dread of the cane turns to acceptance, and finally a real craving for more and more imaginative discipline, which his new master is only too keen to give. Sometimes, Tom’s punishments are administered in front of enthusiastic witnesses, and to add even more to his distress and embarrassment, his flatmate, Neil, is invited to watch as well. (Neil particularly enjoys seeing the effects produced by Mr. Parkinson’s small, polished wooden hairbrush.)

Hear vivid descriptions of Tom’s increasing torments as his bare, exposed buttocks writhe and flinch under the excruciating sting of the cruel cane brought down hard on the most sensitive parts of his bottom, over and over again. He is reduced to begging and pleading for it to stop, but Mr. Parkinson well knows that regular, good, old-fashioned, traditional canings, combined with prolonged bare bottom spankings, always brings about a change in behavior. This complete, highly erotic corporal punishment novel is for adults only (over 18) and contains strong, graphic descriptions of humiliating, naked adult discipline, together with strong sexual scenes.

A fem-dom version of this hot story is available as "Domestic Discipline for Daniel", by Mistress Jade with Mark Maguire.

Excellent Introduction to the M/M Spanking Fetish

I listened to the whole thing in one sitting, which I had not intended to do. The author’s enthusiasm for his subject is obvious and he writes extremely well. The piece is not just a highly entertaining account of one susceptible young man’s initiation into the spanking scene. It is also a very informative (and stimulating) introduction to the history and the mechanics of corporal punishment in the UK, with particular attention to the public school tradition. The history as well as the correct use of various implements is lovingly described. Maguire also devotes a lot of commendable attention to the psychology of the central character. Why would anyone willingly subject himself to so much pain and embarrassment? What does Tom (or any spanking bottom) get out of it? The author’s observations on poor Tom’s motivations make a lot of sense and serve to make the story not just more plausible but more erotic. At one level, all the characters are simply acting out the parts expected of them in a standard English spanking fantasy. None is really a three dimensional creation. But Maguire clearly loves the fantasy intensely as well as recognizes its roots in real human pain and desire and need. I hope that more of his work will soon be available on Audible. The narrator is perfect. I only have one complaint about the book. I was hoping that the snot nosed nephew Mario would get his comeuppance and was disappointed that he didn’t. Perhaps in another story?

Technically competent but NOT successful fiction

This review is for the audio book so, first of all, the performance was excellent. The narrator, Saul Jones, read with clarity and style. He excelled at making the characters different and enjoyable. Also, the writing was clear and direct. Those items are both five star. My only issue is minor: the chapter stops didn't happen at logical, change points in the story. The chapter changes in the middle of the session for no reason.

Of course, this is only my opinion and I admit my bias straight up. I have the, how shall I put this, 'christian' view about spanking in that it is better to give than to receive. Absolutely I value men who have the need to submit and enjoy reading (and watching) when they do. Reading fiction about it should be exciting and entertaining. If I wanted a lecture or dissertation, I would have paid for a scholarly article.

The work doesn't succeed as fiction for three reasons.
1) The parts of the story that were actually story were enjoyable. I liked reading about the embarrassment, pain, and humiliation Tom went through. Problem was, there wasn't enough of it. Mr. Parkinson, and pretty much every other character, spent far too much time lecturing, providing tedious history and excruciating details about style and technique. All that pendantic verbiage killed the narrative momentum. I fell in love with the 30-sec skip ahead function to get through those parts - and there a LOT of them. Much too much exposition and info dump and not enough story
2) The book is short for a supposedly full-length work. In the intro, Tom describes what he did in a five year period, what he learned and how discipline helped him mature. That's great but the book proper only covered three sessions, a period of about three weeks. There was no real beginning, middle and end. The book began and Tom was punished three times and the book ends. Each of those sessions was described in tedious detail. The way it ended sounds like it's setting up a sequel which I think is a cheat because so much of the extant story was padding. This wasn't good value for the money, .I won't be following the story. Five years is 60 months or about 240 weeks. This book covered just over 1% of the story. At that rate, I couldn't afford either the cost or wasted time for all of it. It shouldn't be a saga.
3) There were unresolved plot holes. These may be related to the threat of a sequel. Supporting characters appeared once or twice, made interesting comments and then disappeared. Mario taunts Tom before Tom's first punishment and shows up at the session (major cliche) but disappears. The author sets up a potential dramatic situation but it falls off the page. The colonel is only in one session but that's relief because he's pervy old creep. Neal shows up when Mr. Parkinson recruits him to validate Tom's description of his sore ass a few days after the session. Then, sight unseen, Mr. Parkinson invites Neal to accompany Tom and participate in Tom's additional punishments. While Neal is spanking Tom the second time, Tom says he'll do anything to get it to stop. Absolutely anything. This from a straight guy being spanked by his gay flatmate. What a fiction hook! But it goes nowhere, Same with the description of chastity which leads nowhere. What happens next? Nothing. Tom thanks Mr. Parkinson and goes home. The end. If there hadn't been so much wasted time on lectures and Mr. Parkinson's useless digressions, there could have been more story. Mr. Parkinson is a pompous old bore, None of the characters are worth knowing in real life - except maybe Tom over my knee!
