Book-One in the “Office Goddesses” collections contains two female-led tales of men succumbing to the power of the female at the workplace. Be she a direct superior or an office underling! Darren Garroway opens with “A Corporate Serf”, in which a self-described office sex-god in his thirties with a talent for using women – mostly older women – gets a comeuppance at the hands and feet of the same sex he has used and demeaned to push himself forward in the workplace… A 24/7 comeuppance like none he could have imagined and, worse, one that will not be ending any time soon! Following this is Rafael Menton’s “An Abject Fixation”, in which the author asks the question: “Can the scent of a woman overpower a man with such force he will be unable to refuse her any demand?” For, according to the late-aunty of a young expat Indian woman named Hemani Jayashankar, in possession of a certain family gift handed down over the centuries. that is no more than the truth… A truth that spells disaster for Hemani’s happily married English boss. Dominant women and the men they subjugate for the aficionado of the powerful female.
