Diabolical Duets. Diabolical Duets, #8

Duet-Eight in the "Diabolical Duets" collection takes on a more contemporary look with two tales closer to the day - though without any lessening of our "Heroes" inability to withstand the power of the "Diabolical" female. We open with Merrick Scanlon's "Accept It!"; his tale of one man's growing obsession for a late-friend's domineering Romanian widow he formerly detested. A widow who occupies the house alongside his and the home he once shared with the wife who has recently deserted and divorced him to move to the Netherlands with her lover.
The same severe featured widow and stupendous body who sees his dependence on the bottle as the perfect excuse to show him a different life.A life with a superior Romanian woman who will rule it with an iron hand! Marisette Hennessey's "A Forced Descent" describes how a wife's long-overdue retaliation against the dishonest accountant and cheating overbearing husband whose dismissal of her has taken her confidence to rock bottom.
Retaliation itself that comes in the form of a younger Eastern European friend. ???????A young woman with even worse experiences of ill-usage at the hands of the men back in her homeland before managing to become naturalised in the UK. A young Eastern European woman who just happens to be a highly-skilled trainer of dogs! 2-Believable and fantasy female-led tales of domestic-servitude and well-deserved payback for the reader who enjoys having the imagination tweaked rather than bludgeoned.
