About this ebook
‘The Way of a Man with a Maid’ is a foray into pleasure, pain, lesbianism and etiquette – told from the viewpoint of a quintessential Edwardian gent. Having first appeared in Parisian journals around the turn of the century, it is widely acknowledged to be a defining example of the erotic genre, and reveals the dark underbelly of human sexuality.
Do the best things come to the woman who waits?
Jack has built a special place in a padded room of an old lunatic asylum named 'The Snuggery'. Filled with ropes, cushions, straps and feathers, he chooses Alice to complete the decoration. Imprisoned against her will, she is teased into submission. And in moments of passion, when Jack names her his 'wife', Alice finally surrenders her maidenhead, submitting to the power of his unbridled lust.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Rather than being a sinister sexual tale as I suspected it to be, this story contains much humour, and even when Jack – the anti-hero – is pushing his female victims to their sexual limits, at no point does any sense of horror creep through.The anonymous author writes in a light-hearted tone throughout, often making me smile or even laugh. It’s as comical a tale as it is sexual. The well-spoken characters sound amusing when they suddenly use an expletive or ‘talk dirty’. Somehow what normally strikes the ear as offensive comes across as humorous in this novelI seldom read erotica as I tend to find stories in this genre one-dimensional. I prefer ‘spicy’ tales that include sexiness rather than numerous graphic sex scenes; however, with this text being an old one and quite famous, I thought I’d give it a go.Although at times I felt it was a bit repetitive, on the whole I enjoyed it. The aforementioned humour added to the tale, giving it more flavour.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5'Maid' in the title is used as a short form of maiden, rather than meaning a servant.Alice jilted Jack, denying him his wedding night pleasures. His new lodgings comes with a soundproof room and he gets his revenge by taking Alice prisoner, stripping her, fomndling, spanking, sodmising and finally raping her. She is repeatedly brought to ecstatic heights and by the end of the day is a willing participant. Some weeks later they meet again for consensual sex and Alice mentions that her servant (a pert minx) needs bringing down a peg or two. They decide to give her the same treatment, this time with Alica adding a lesbian angle, and all depart happy. Alice is lusting after her friend Connie and soon Connie is trussed up under the administations of Jack, Alice and her maid. Finally Jack and the three women capture Lady Bettie and her daughter Mollie who are given the same treatment and made to pleasure each other.It's an arousing book. The Kindle version is published by erotica-ebook.com who have done a good job, except that about half way through the original page numbers appear in the text.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is the story of a man named Jack who gets his revenge and works his will on a woman named Alice. He uses bondage and sexual humiliation and finally rape to gain his satisfaction. This is not, of course, very politically correct in this modern age but it can definitely be satisfying if you have the proper temperament. I leave it to you to decide if it suits you or not.It is certainly one of the best written of all the erotic works. I recommend this book.
