Wife will submit to Husband in all matters sexual. She will not have the right of dictation of sexual positions, fortification locations, or durations. Husband agrees that Sexual Expectations will be limited to one (1) Sexual Penetration Act per day, with the understanding that Wife can initiate additional Sexual Acts if she chooses. Husband is not required to perform Sex Acts with Wife.Hah, that made me snigger. As it is, marriage is a contract. But to go to such lengths as to explicitly state a Wife's duties, hur hur.There are many different types of writers. There are those that write with magic wands, words dancing magically across pages (i.e my fav authors). We also have mediocre writers who got lucky *ehem*E.L James*ehem*. And then we have amateurs who take on writing, having been inspired by the success of said mediocre writer. I believe Alessandra Torre falls in between. Better writing than E.L James, but the plot has traces of FSoG in it. And I find it dull cos there were no deeper interaction between Candace and Nathan.But hey, extra points for Torre for coming up with the full contract. Pretty original in my opinion, taking up the last 4-5% of the book.Conclusion: An okay, late-afternoon read.
