Summary

Christiana is a mistress who in the past has treated some of her subs
rather badly.  One man in particular, who loves her very much, was 
almost driven to suicide.  Adrian, a wizard, casts a spell on 
Christiana.  She has to make it up to those she has hurt by playing 
the sub for them.  Until she does so she will not be released from 
his spell.

Commentary

This story was well done in certain ways.  The sex was well placed, 
and very arousing.  I found the descriptions and the situations that 
the main character got herself into to be its strengths.  If you are 
not turned on by dominance and submission then you might not want to 
read this one.

There is some cross-dressing and quite a bit of bondage and 
discipline.  Most of the sex was consensual.  The scenes where the 
character is placed under a spell are kind of iffy.  She knows what 
she is doing, but she does not have complete control, but she does 
seem to enjoy it.  I am not sure if there is any non-consensual sex 
in this story, but I am also not convinced that there is not any non-
consensual sex in this story.

The plot is rather simple and straight forward.  The characters are 
each distinct.  In some ways I think this story was supposed to be 
touching, but it did not touch me.  The narration was a bit 
mechanical and I could not feel the emotion, it seemed a bit 
artificial.  I still liked this story.  Tigger did a good job of 
mixing various elements and keeping the plot moving.

If you intend to read this story, I advise reading it in parts.  It 
is long.  I found it much better to stop at the end of each episode 
and take a break.  I do not think I would have enjoyed it as much if 
I had tried to read the whole thing in one sitting.

Rating

I give this story an 8 on a scale of 10.
