Training My Professor: A Femdom Education

First thanks to the other 5 star reviewers of Thimble and Training My Professor and the other four by this author for moving Thimble's books to the top of my reading pile. At first I thought I might space them out so I'd have a really good book still in my pile to read, but I have read the first four. By page 9 (yes I numbered them as I read) I am in awe of the dialog and fascinated with Bryn (24) Daniels, Professor Taylor (33) Clark's student advisee. By page 19 I couldn't read (and red underline) fast enough. There is developing a test of wills between Bryn and Dr. Clark. On page 20 an offhand, meant to be witty remark "She's the boss" is a "subtle clue" like Bryn describes in her thesis project proposal about motivation and controlling someone. "It's about manipulation. It's my belief that people subconsciously give clues to exactly what's needed to control them." After a scene on pages 23 to 25 (not that kind of scene - you'll just have to read the book), Dr Clark thinks '...for all her beauty and sophistication, she was still just a kid. She deserved better than that.' Yes she does, but No she's not!!!!! He has some articles he thinks will help her with her project, but I don't really think she needs any help at all. She seems so intelligent and is so far out ahead of him and knows exactly what she is doing so that she will no doubt end in total control of him and SHE KNOWS IT ALREADY!! The chat about the subject (person) to be used for her thesis is so clear to the reader, but apparently not to Dr. Clark. Darn Thimble, I can't put this down. The first quibble is on page 27 where Dr. Clark refers to "my apartment" whereas on page 5 he refers to the Elbow Room as being the bar and restaurant "closest to my house." Authors really do need to keep track of things such as age, hair color, cars, and where their characters live and their names, or get a good editor, or simply get an editor. Then it is Bryn who drops a witty line on page 28 "You're a bad boy Dr. Clark. One of these days you're going to get punished." This time it is story foreshadowing. Dr. Clark? Well, he's wishing and hoping it will come true, but is glad he is facing away feeling she would easily see it in his face. (But she already knows and there is no doubt why she said it.) His answer to her next question is "Yes Bryn all the time." Now the readers like me are wondering if the answer is true or not. Oh - - - the question is in the book . . . smile. Next thing I realize is that Thimble is tormenting the reader. Well, I'll just have to show Thimble and peek ahead to find out, but Thimble is as far ahead of the readers like me as Bryn is ahead of Dr. Clark so that Thimble has made me into a masochist that wants to suffer by not peeking ahead. In fact Thimble is slowing me down as I write in red ink on the blank pages in the back of the book, but there are also four pages in the front that I can use. Beside one or both margin linings and underlining, the blank pages are how I record my feelings/reactions as I read. (OK Ok I also as I read). The next question is Dr. Clark's on page 29 and Bryn's partial answer is "I like that Image." Image? {([ Get The Book])}. For the first time Bryn addresses Dr. Clark as "Taylor, I don't think it can." On page 30 when Bryn says " I know what you did with my towel" all pretense vanishes. Then reality slams full force into place. Just as quickly the plot of Taylor being the test subject of her thesis is gone (maybe Marty is the test subject after all) and Taylor is instead about to be Option 2! GET THE BOOK!! My review must stop here or somehow Thimble will track me down and punish me for revealing too much of the book and ruining sales (though I haven't really revealed that much and am hoping to entice all review readers to go get all of Thimble's paperbacks). No don't come find me Thimble I beg you Thimble. This is not a subconsciously given clue. I give, I give. Come find me at . . . as I underline OPTION 2. Bryn is ahead of Taylor all the way through the book. He is catching up a little after Martina visits, but I doubt Bryn will ever let him catch up completely. About the blackmail other reviewers objected to: It is my belief that Bryn never intended to release it and very likely never even had prepared more than what little she actually showed him. Bryn was way ahead of Taylor and me and you fellow readers as well. Bryn knew how it would turn out in the end. She just had to let Taylor figure it out also and realize the truth for himself. On page 175 Taylor realizes that he has learned and accepted that the greatest pleasure a slave experiences is from serving, obeying and pleasing a Mistress and giving her pleasure. I have written that many times and believe that I would feel that way for a Mistress like Bryn. Reading Training My Professor I felt that I realized the truth of this all over again. So potential readers do you want to realize that this might be your own truth? This book is not so much about the destination . . . the truth if you will, but about the journey and the author has written a superb path.

-This is the second novel I have read by this author and this is a second time it did not disappoint. Well written. It was made that the protagonist lady was so strong, that she carried her character to such a believable point in the story-line, that in real life no man, whether submissive or otherwise, would not have walls strong enough to resist her. The antagonist bravely tried, true to his role and place in the story, thus making it a wonderful page-turner! It proved that when a healthy dose of love enters into the world of Femdom, especially the more strict levels, the best a man (male?) can do, is fight to avoid boredom.... because hopelessly he doesn’t stand the proverbial “cold chance in hell” to resist.

I’m an editor but inexperienced with erotica. In preparation for a new client, I’m reading up to get more familiar. I liked this book from a character development standpoint and appreciated the high level of quality (I found very few typos). I’m not the target audience but this was still a well written book with a plot twist that had me worried about the ending!

This is high quality genre fiction with excellent character development and exploration. Both main characters have personalities, needs, desires, and fears. The domination begins naturally and subtly, then becomes very intense. There's a clever twist near the end, and a great resolution. Excellent story.

Bryn's Persistence finally pays off in her pursuit of a helpless Professor! Unknowingly, he gets roped into a life of servitude! I really enjoyed the flow of this read and it's build up to the end! Nice Job!

One of the best I've read.

If this story wasn't entirely based on blackmail it would be great. Unfortunately it is and it definitely leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Because of it you can't help but disbelieve all 'loving' emotions shown. And for being a supposed professional dominatrix, she sure looses her temper a lot. Disappointing, I really wanted to like this book.

good story, great author

This is one of Thimbles more daring stories. The Professor is seemingly forced by blackmail of his reputation (as he waits for Tenure) to submit to Domination by a Fledgling Domme. Good character development from the author as usual he helps you understand their needs. The story is risque and intelligent. The women are all female supremacists and if you run with that then its a great fantasy. The strength is Thimble's humerous and insightful dialogue and the juggernaut Master who absolutely should be called Cuprinol because it does what it says it does at the start to the finish. Its overwhelming but stay in the fantasy and its good.
