The 4th and concluding book in the “Tickled into Submission” series. My 2nd longest book ever!
Bethany went with her work buddy, Skylar, to Skylar’s place after work because Skylar was having a problem with her roommate. A very particular and difficult problem. Skylar’s roommate, Mary, has been sexually dominating Skylar and tickle torturing her! Skylar needed help standing up to Mary. Why? Because Mary makes her crawl around!
Bethany is self-assured and casually confident. She is also protective of Skylar. And, unfortunately, a little too curious and fascinated about the situation than is good for her. Little did Bethany know that it was too late to save Skylar because Skylar did not actually want to be saved. Bethany also did not know that Mary already knew all about her and wanted her. Or that Mary is only one member of a three-domme conspiracy to seduce and dominate beautiful straight young women like Skylar and Bethany.
Bethany got stuck in “the apartment from Hell.” Stuck cooperating far too much. Mary has Skylar believing the apartment is actually another country despite being inside a Chicago apartment complex. The name of the country? Mary Land. It is named after its ruling domme dictator, Mary. Now Bethany is starting to believe in Mary Land also!
Bethany is there to save Skylar but Skylar is conspiring against her, serving as Mary’s useful sexual idiot. Bethany suspects the truth and thinks she needs to save herself! Mary has already “re-set” Bethany once, a euphemism for an orgasm.
But it wasn’t anything at all lesbian! It was simply good old fashioned, almost wholesome, “oral masturbation.”
Bethany knows she needs to get away before something actually lesbian happens. Before she submits, keeps submitting, and can’t stop submitting. But she already feels like she could use another “re-set”….
Mary wants Bethany and thinks she knows how to get her totally and completely and irrevocably. Mary plans to share Bethany with other interested parties including the much older apartment building manager, Eunice, as well as Bethany’s and Skylar’s supervisor at their workplace, Janice, who is also much older than them.
Dominant lesbians can’t just make a sexy blonde and a beautiful brunette into sexual slaves! Can they?
Bethany may go from being a good Samaritan to a good obedient crawling sex slave.
Not a fan of this book. Was, more like “is,” disgusting in a bad way, specifically with the “toilet humor” type of scenarios involving things such as pee. Also the licking of floors. I don’t ever want to see that content again. Not arousing, more like makes me want to vomit and get a refund.
Also, the seemingly BDSM themes did not read like BDSM. More like excessive torture, and I felt the seduction was artificial/un-believable…lacking even. It felt super forced.
You should limit, like limit a lot, the BDSM themes in future stories because I don’t think anyone is going to believe or buy into the idea that “whacking” (and you used that “whack” sound a lot in this story) someone into lesbianism works. And it also reads like a rapey torture scenario in the story.
Once again, the BDSM in this story doesn’t read like sex, but like torture in a bad way.

I really suggest you should get with the times, modern times in fact, and set up a Discord channel so you and us readers can more quickly communicate and interact with one another, especially on story reviews in real time.
If Latestageinfernalism (a well-repsected erotica writer) can set up a Discord channel so he can chat with his fans, then so can you I would think. Besides, the chat messaging system on this website feels archaic and it is SLOW as heck.
I’m sorry you did not like the book. There is always a range of appeal. Erotica more so than most types of fiction, in my opinion. There are hundreds of possible acts and all of them appeal to some while turning off others. A classic example is the foot fetish. This is extremely powerful to some, actually surprisingly many, and yet others find it either a total turn off or they are mystified how it could be arousing to anyone. It is sort of like the old phrase “You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time.”
Which is not to say I do not care about your opinion. It is just that you may well write a glowing review for another book and someone else will write a negative one. BDSM is a big element in what I write. There is a lot of domination out there which is purely personality based and does not involve any pain infliction. I often write domination in that style, but not always.
I have a core content which I then surround with a degree of unpredictability. The core content both reflects my personal interests and gives the reader a reliability in content. They know what to expect in general. That core content is lesbian seduction along with domination and submission. That is my niche. But I do not want the stories or the sexual acts to be predictable or tiresome. This requires variety and creativity. I don’t simply want to change up the character names and then regurgitate over and over (speaking of vomit). What this means is that there are some surprises for readers (I sure hope so). This also sometimes means the story or the sex or the dialogue does not go exactly as a particular reader wishes.
It also means you will not read about pee in every book! But I won’t promise to never involve it again. Hopefully, you can respect that.
I did not see the BDSM as “excessive torture.” I’m not sure what you are referring to by that. There was some pain infliction but no permanent harm. Pain is a common element in domination and it is often flipped into a positive that adds to the pleasure, either by amping it up or contrasting with it. Or causing orgasm delay. The main element of this series was tickling and I doubt you viewed that as “excessive torture” though perhaps you did. People have many different views.
I could go point by point but I think we can agree we disagree. I wrote the book to intrigue, interest, and arouse and, as with all books, it worked with many and failed with some (at least yourself). There really is no way to please everyone. We humans are so individual and that is a strength and good thing.
I don’t know anything about Discord. I always have to weigh cost/benefit. Time doing X takes away from time doing Y and so forth. Anything that I do other than writing takes away from how much writing I can do. But we can communicate and interact quickly. I supply my email in every book and welcome readers to write to me directly. (jordanchurch@mail.com) I have readers who make requests, who help choose future storylines from among various options I am ready to write, and who give me valuable information that helps educate me and make my writing more detailed and accurate. For instance, a reader who knows what it feels like to be cropped and knows the sound that the crop makes when it strikes bare skin.
I also send out a newsletter each time I publish a book. That way readers know as soon as a new one is out there. It is BCC and totally private and no email addresses are shared with third parties or anything like that. I include the book cover, the description, a link to the book, and usually a few words about the creative process, the intent of the storyline, or sometimes just about life in general. Email me at jordanchurch@mail.com if you (or anyone else reading this) would like to be included or if you’d like to communicate with me directly.
