![]() Today's quest author is Darling Adams, with an excerpt from her Masters of the Castle book, Punishing Portia. When well-known chef and restaurateur David Marone recognizes the food critic who just lambasted him in a review on the charity auction block, he bids an inordinate amount to keep her as his slave for three nights. He remembers the haughty foodie from culinary school seventeen years earlier, and relishes the idea of getting even with her for her mean-spirited review. Portia Sands hopes the dark and gorgeous Chicago chef who won the bid for her at the Castle charity auction doesn’t know her real identity as the food critic who tore him apart in a review the week before. She finds he hasn’t changed since culinary school--still arrogant, over-confident and domineering. Unfortunately, he has the same effect on her now as he did then: reducing her to a trembling mass of jello. When he pushes her to her limits, placing her in a cage like a pet, she discovers he knows who she is, and means to exact revenge. She considers calling the Castle safeword to end their time together, but some part of her won’t allow it. Somehow she must survive three nights as his slave and keep her heart in the process.

I’d like to see what sort of options you have for pet-wear.” Janice gave her an appreciative up and down sweep of her eyes, which made Portia blush. “Any preference on which type of pet?” “Not a pony. Something dog or cat-like, please.” When she walked away, David pinched one stiffened nipple. “You like being admired by another woman, don’t you?” he murmured in her ear. Her cheeks grew warmer and she dropped her eyes, shaking her head. He slapped her ass. “Don’t lie.” Janice returned with her hands full of boxes, which she set down on the floor and began to open. She produced half-sweaters with matching booties for the little chihuahua types, and the shortest ruffled skirts ever made. David began to look through them. “Let’s see this one,” he said, holding up a shiny black latex catsuit--just the kind she’d been imagining when she gave the name “Kitty.” Janice helped her into it, cinching the back and clamping it the way the wedding dress fitters do to make a larger size fit a smaller woman. The pants fit perfectly, hugging her every curve. Janice lifted a hood, but David cut her short. “No hood. I like to grab hair.” “Little ears?” “No. She’s perfect just like this,” he said, lifting his hand and bringing it down with a resounding smack against the shiny latex glued to her bum. “Mm, I like the way that sounds,” he said. He smacked her again and again, each time using enough force to lift her to her toes. The latex took a little of the sting away, so only a delicious warmth grew in the places he slapped. He wrapped an arm around her waist to stabilize her and continued with the loud spanking, attracting giggles and looks from other Castle guests. “Your ass is just...so...spankable in this catsuit,” he said, delivering searing blows with each word. She moaned. “You like that, don’t you?” he asked, still spanking away. Oh yeah. She definitely liked it. Her pussy wept with need. He stopped and gripped her ass with firm fingers, while the other hand snaked in front to push the hard seam of the pants against her swelling genitals. She gave a cry of pleasure, covering his hand with her own and pushing her fingers against his. “Sorry, Kitty,” he whispered against her ear. “You’ll have to earn that pleasure.” Renee Rose / Darling Adams is a naughty author and kinkster who loves writing about hot alpha males, Dominance/submission and power exchanges.

![]() Adventure, mystery, and romance come together in this fast-paced Young Adult dystopian fantasy that will keep readers of all ages turning the pages. Aberrant is the first novel in the Aberrant series. What if your existence was illegal? It was supposed to be the perfect system: food, shelter, and jobs for everyone. A strive toward Utopian. When children can no longer be conceived through natural means, a lottery is established to determine which families will conceive a child in a lab through IVF. Eighteen year old Olivia Parker is an anomaly. She shouldn’t exist. The government wants her dead. The rebels have their own perverted agenda. In a world filled with secrets, betrayals, and death lurking at every turn, Olivia must decide her own path and who to trust. Recommended for readers age 15+ Excerpt: Joshua and I both headed out of the council hall with Jacqueline leading the way. The line of young men had barely dwindled. I avoided their stare, their curiosity as they slowly proceeded forward, giving the attendant their name. I wondered how they knew about me and more importantly what they knew. Jacqueline walked a few feet ahead of us, giving us privacy to talk. I silently thanked her for still respecting us and our wishes. She was probably the only one in Haven who liked us. I didn’t know if I should be relieved or angered by the recent news. I could feel the whispers, like tingles against bare skin as we walked further from council hall and rounded the corner. I was grateful to be out of sight from all those curious stares. "I guess we should consider ourselves lucky," I remarked. I didn't feel lucky. I tried to sound upbeat, but everything was quickly falling apart around us. Joshua scoffed at the idea. "Lucky? I wouldn't go that far," he emphasized. "This is how it starts. Eventually, they'll make it a crime for us to see one another." He sounded disgusted. "They sort of already are," I remarked, trying to understand the council's decision. "I think they just want to make sure I'm protected." Though I didn't quite understand how setting me up to meet multiple bachelors was any form of protection. It seemed as if they only wanted to keep Joshua away from me. The one person I could trust, implicitly. I knew the rules were different because I was different. They didn’t seem particularly bothered by Joshua having a girl in his room. It didn’t seem fair. "Seems like they don't really care what we think at all," Joshua retorted as we headed into our building. "Were you okay last night? I worried when Landon escorted you out of the dormitory." I walked slowly up the stairs, Jacqueline just a few feet ahead of us. "Aside from being locked in a room with no windows." I sighed. "At least they're giving me freedom from the tech center and a real bed. I should be grateful," I mocked. I didn't feel grateful, but I knew his mother at least tried to make it easier for me. As soon as we crested the top stair, I froze in place. The building shook with an alarming intensity as the first drone flew low overhead. The downstairs chandelier swayed and I held onto Joshua's arm and my eyes widened in terror. "What do you think is going on?" I asked watching the movement grow stronger as vibrations echoed through the dormitory. A nearby painting affixed to the wall crashed to the floor, the glass breaking. I could feel the ground quake beneath my feet as Joshua grabbed my hand, refusing to let go. "We're being attacked." It wasn't a question. Together, we jogged briskly down the hall toward our rooms. I didn't know how much time we had. All I knew was the government was here, and they were searching for me! About the Author Ruth Silver is the best-selling author of the Aberrant trilogy.

Do you have any plans to write a spin-off for Aberrant? Yes! I am currently working on an untitled project that is a prequel, spin-off. I haven't spoken much about it, but I will say there is plenty of action and a world to explore that we've barely touched in the Aberrant trilogy. Great!

Not because I can't think of anything to write about, it's just the opposite. There are way to many stories in my head, all jostling for position. I have notes all over the place, on my phone, sticky notes on my laptop, wall and calendar. A pink recipe box filled with index cards. I even actually put them in a file sometimes. Some are short sentences about a story in progress. Some are detailed plot ideas. I even pick out names I like and then dream up a character to go with them. At times they are well behaved characters, waiting patiently for their turn. I like that, when the are well-mannered and polite. Makes me feel like I brought my fledgling ideas up right. Unfortunately, this is the exception and not the rule. Most of the time it's more like this. I once told my boss that if he could spend an hour in my head, he would run screaming from the building. I wasn't kidding. Here's the short version of what's going on in there today. Callie Mae and Morgan (Callie Mae and the Marine) are wanting to get busy. Mead is waiting for surgery. Lily is plotting on how to get the girls out of town. Dr. Brubaker is wishing he'd spanked Jane. Jane is wishing she'd kicked the good doctor. Marshall Hank is thinking he needs an easier job. Annalise is wondering if... Well, you get the idea. Moving on: Cherry Calhoun, owner of Baby Cakes (The Trouble With Abby) is Googling the 'Bobby Guard' who finally showed up to claim his date with the bodacious redhead. It seems he was off recovering a runaway bride in another book (Sugar Babies. Inc.) Yeah, I know. Small world, right? In a WIP, my heroine is just getting ready to hand in a review of her boss's daughter's play. Too bad she got spanked during intermission by a total stranger for disturbing the entire audience with her laughing and texting. Too bad she didn't actually see the play and too bad the stranger is her boss's brother. Sucks to be her. In another WIP my hunky rancher opens the door to find a young woman with a three week old child, his. His mother is delighted to see that her hard working, hard drinking son finally got caught. In my paranormal WIP, my heroine is getting pretty frustrated with the man she's trying to grant wishes for and... Okay, enough, you get the picture. So how do I choose? This always gets me. I like this too, when they're all sorry for driving me crazy. Oh, I'm such a soft touch, sigh. Okay, Miss Calhoun, but you might find out more than you wanted to know about the Bobby guard. Chadwick W. Fenton, C.W. to his friends, doesn't fall easily, but when he does he's pretty hard to get rid of. Better think it over.
So, it's been nice chatting. If you all think I'm a little 'too' crazy, I'll understand, but if I know you, don't be surprised if you end up in a story. My characters are pretty protective, lol. Stevie ![]() Today I'm sharing, Past Interference by Kathryn R. Blake When Jerry Douglas asks Elly Benson to marry him, he wants their ceremony to be as close to Valentine's Day as possible. Though Elly tearfully accepts Jerry's proposal without hesitation, as she readies herself for her second wedding, the doubts and misgivings of any new bride-to-be are exacerbated by the abuse she suffered during her first marriage. When Elly recalls how quickly her uncertain stomach jitters grew into tight knots of pain on her wedding day, she also remembers how and why she'd fallen in love with and married Arthur, her first husband. A mistake she regrets more and more with each passing hour. Though she's lived with Jerry for four months now, and been subject to his discipline more than once, her first husband had been kind and careful with her, too, in the beginning. At least until she vowed to love, honor and obey him. And their move to Corbin's Bend turned him from the strict, but caring husband she thought she'd married into a monster she no longer recognized. Excerpt: After placing a kiss on Elly's head, Jerry handed her a small glass angel ornament. "Here." The crystal wings and bell skirt were so fine and delicate she hesitated to take the figure from his fingers. "Go on. She's a lot sturdier than she looks. Just grasp the hanging string. I want you to place her on the tree." "Me? Why?" Elly asked, blinking up at him in wonder. These were the Douglas's traditions, and as welcoming as Jerry's family had been, she was still an outsider. "Because I want to start a new tradition — tonight. Please?" Elly carefully pinched the slender golden cord between her thumb and index finger and set the sparkling three-inch figurine on her palm before she glanced at Jerry in surprise. "Did you make this?" Smiling, he shook his head while his mother, father, two brothers and single sister all took seats on the couches positioned near the tree. Elly held the last ornament to be placed. "He did have it specially made, however," his mother announced with a grin. "Mother...," Jerry warned. Elly examined the fragile angel more closely. "You did?" "Yes, I did. Look at her eyes." They were two tiny green stones that matched the color of Elly's irises. She smiled at him, when a sudden sparkle from the angel's halo caught her eye. A garland of diamond-like crystals crowned the celestial being's long crystal locks. "She's got a halo of shiny stars set in a silver circle," Elly said in wonder, staring at the delicate winged figure. "The eyes are emeralds, the circle is platinum, the bar set stones are real diamonds, but you're right about the halo, because you are my very own angel." Grasping her free hand in his, Jerry dropped down to one knee. "Eleanor Ann Franklin Benson, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" The room grew snowfall silent as Elly's tear-filled eyes gazed down at the man she adored. "You're asking me to marry you?" Her words emerged as a mere squeak of a sound. "I told you I would do things right when I proposed. Yes, my heart, I want to spend the rest of my life with you at my side and under my wing. I want to love, hold, cherish and protect you for as long as we both shall live. Will you say yes? Please?" Elly's mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out. Then she gazed at his smiling family gathered to witness their baby lay his heart out on a line. The man, whom she loved most in the world, knelt before her and his closest relatives to claim he wanted her. Her. Overcome with emotion, Elly could only nod her head. His smile broad, Jerry rose to his feet, cupped her face in his hands and kissed her beneath the sprig of mistletoe his eldest brother held above their heads.

Blake's Blog ![]() Today I'm sharing a excerpt from my newest book, Callie Mae and the Marine. Some of you may be a bit confused about this book. You see I originally put it out myself with the title, In This Lifetime: Morgan's Journey. After about three weeks I realized I didn't have the capabilities to promote it on my own and I sent it to the folks at Stormy Night Publications. Thankfully they picked it up and gave it a brand new cover and title. I love the family in this story and hope you will too. After he is wounded during his final tour of duty with the Marines, Morgan Whittaker returns home to a life in shambles. Knowing that their marriage is beyond repair, his wife uses her connections as a scientist at a top-secret government lab to offer Morgan an opportunity to start over in not only a new place, but a new time as well. Believing that he has nothing to lose, Morgan agrees, and soon enough he finds himself walking the dusty streets of a small Kansas town in the year 1880. It is there that Morgan meets Miss Callie Mae Walker, the feisty preacher’s daughter who has taken it upon herself to run the local saloon, much to the consternation of her father and the townsfolk. Callie Mae is beautiful, sassy, and in desperate need of a firm hand applied to her bare bottom. Morgan decides that he might just be the man for the job, and before long he takes the little hellcat over his knee for a sound spanking. Callie Mae is not one to be tamed easily, and his chastisement provokes her to take ever greater risks with her safety at the saloon. But Morgan is no longer the all-but-broken shell of a man he left behind in the twenty-first century. In this time and place, he is the tough, bold fighting man he once was, and he’ll be damned if the girl he loves is going to get herself killed because she didn’t have her backside heated properly. Publisher’s Note: Callie Mae and the Marine is an erotic romance novel that contains spankings, sexual scenes, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book. Also not that this book was previously published under the title, In This Lifetime: Morgan's Journey. Here's what unfolds after Morgan spanks Callie Mae for the first time. “Well, that didn’t go as planned,” Morgan sighed, picking up his hat and slamming it on his head. “You went too easy on her,” Mead replied, unfolding himself from his position against a shadowed wall. “What do you mean too easy? She was crying her eyes out,” Morgan demanded. “Yes, but out of anger and frustration. There wasn’t a lick of remorse in her. I told you to keep on until the apologies started. If you stop before then, you’re doomed to repeat the same lesson over and over. Next time, take her somewhere private and spank her bare bottom until you’ve done a good job. And do it where there’s light so you can judge how hard you’re spanking and if her tears are genuine.” “I though her tears were genuine,” Morgan said, climbing onto the wagon seat. “They were, just not for the right reasons. You have a lot to learn, big brother,” Mead said over his shoulder as he led his horse down the street to the livery.

Amazon Meeting Marshall What happens when five of your favorite spanking authors break the number one Castle rule regarded anonymity of its staff and guests? Why, nothing less than a one-way ticket not just to the Castle, but to Master Marshall's office. One by one, they are summoned back to speak with him, and one by one they discover he is not in a forgiving mood. Fulfilling Her Fantasy When Master Marshall announces the first Castle slave auction for charity at the end of the year, Wardrobe assistant Janice is intrigued. The thought of being sold to an unknown Dominant for three consecutive nights is both thrilling and terrifying. Janice has been spanked plenty of times before, but there's one thing she's always wanted to experience; she's just never, not in two years of working there, been brave enough to ask for it. The idea of auctioning off willing submissives to honor founding Master Don's memory causes a ripple of excitement throughout the resort, and everyone on staff is affected. Winter is, after all, traditionally the quietest season of the year, and an event this unusual - and kinky - is bound to bring the guests flocking to the Castle. Janice is conscientious enough to know that she'll be so flat out in the Wardrobe, helping the auction participants find the perfect costumes for the occasion, there's no way she'll be able to take part herself. That thought is both a relief and a disappointment. Still, unless she manages to get her increasingly disturbing fantasies about one of the resident Masters under control, she's worried she might go insane. So when her best friend and colleague, Ellen, gives her an ultimatum, Janice must choose: Ask to play with the man who's been haunting her dreams at night, or put herself up for sale to the highest bidder. Can Janice find the courage to fulfill her ultimate fantasy? Punishing Portia When well-known chef and restaurateur David Marone recognizes the food critic who just lambasted him in a review on the charity auction block, he bids an inordinate amount to keep her as his slave for three nights. He remembers the haughty foodie from culinary school seventeen years earlier, and relishes the idea of getting even with her for her mean-spirited review. Portia Sands hopes the dark and gorgeous Chicago chef who won the bid for her at the Castle charity auction doesn’t know her real identity as the food critic who tore him apart in a review the week before. She finds he hasn’t changed since culinary school--still arrogant, over-confident and domineering. Unfortunately, he has the same effect on her now as he did then: reducing her to a trembling mass of jello. When he pushes her to her limits, placing her in a cage like a pet, she discovers he knows who she is, and means to exact revenge. She considers calling the Castle safeword to end their time together, but some part of her won’t allow it. Somehow she must survive three nights as his slave and keep her heart in the process. Buying Brianny He was a man for God's sake. A man living in the twentieth century where treating a woman delicately had been bred into him. You never hit a girl, his mother had taught him that from a tender age. Women's rights were touted hither and yon. Spanking was for disobedience in children. No, children weren't spanked anymore either. Kian had been spanked many times as a child. His single mother might have seemed like a country mouse, but she'd walloped him good on more than one occasion. And he'd deserved everything she dished out. He knew it—and he knew she loved him and wanted the best for him too. That hadn't worked with an ex of his though. She hadn't thought of it as loving when he'd busted her ass for drinking and driving. No, she'd ended the relationship in a hurry. Of course he'd never repeated the mistake with another women. Not even his Brianny, who as it turns out, has craved discipline among other things. Brianny has a bucket list, not the kind you want to do before you die—the kind you do before you get married. Okay, maybe not that either, but her sister says unless Brianny explores her inner submissive, she'll never be content with her future husband. But what if said future husband turns her away because he doesn't like her submissive side? It had taken Brianny a pint of Hot Damn and her kinky sister to even put voice to her secret desires. Some people go to strange and amazing lengths to prove their love. All Brianny wants as proof is for Kian to buy her at The Castle's New Year's Eve charity auction, then tie her up and take away her control. Consensual, non-consent, that’s what her sister had called it. Was that too much to ask? Will Kian pay the asking price? Sharing Silver It’s been six months since her vanilla marriage ended in divorce, and Sylvia is craving some fun and excitement – not to mention kink. So when her friend Rosa tells her about a slave auction being held at her workplace, the Castle, Sylvia throws caution to the wind and signs herself up to fly all the way to America to be sold off to the highest bidder under the nickname Silver. Gorgeous twin Castle Masters, Travis and Trevor, can have any girl they choose – and frequently do. The only downside to topping female guests, however, is the fact that there’s never enough time to build trust. So when Trevor hears about the auction, he decides it’s time to be selfish, and he and his brother set about looking for a plaything they can do whatever they want with – a girl with as few limits as possible. When Silver and the twins meet, the chemistry is instantaneous and palpable. But all too soon, something more begins to develop between the three. What should have been a few days of physical excitement turns into an emotional roller coaster – not only for Silver, but for Travis and Trevor as well. Overwhelmed by the events at the BDSM resort – and her feelings – Silver tries to get to grips with her past, as well as the fact that she’s rapidly falling in love with the two biggest playboys in Ohio. In turn, Travis and Trevor are smitten by the mysterious girl from Australia, but whenever they try to get closer emotionally, she clams up. Can the twins make her see what she means to them before it’s too late, and Silver gets back on the plane home? Excerpt: The room grew quiet when Master Marshall ascended the stage. His formal black leathers melded him with the darkness in the room, and just the sight of him as he crossed the dais to take up the auctioneer’s microphone made the already thick tension in the room heavier. “Good evening,” Master Marshall greeted, while the lights on the stage moved to center him and bring the Master of the Castle into stark relief against the red backdrop of the heavy velvet curtains. “Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Castle’s first ever Charity Submissive Auction. As many of you know, this last summer the Castle lost one of its own to cancer. For those of you who knew him, the loss has been soul-rending. For those who didn’t, Master Don was one of the original six Masters with the vision to help me take a dilapidated stone structure going to rubble in Scotland and bring it here, to Ohio. His greatest contribution to our facility has been the Nobles’ Program, the period costumes, and the Master’s Supper and Show, where he presided every night without fail that entire first year. There are bits and pieces of his influence in every wing and every hall, and in the rules by which we abide. In short, the Castle never would have become the success it is today without Don, and so, what better way to honor his memory than by hosting this charity event? Bid and bid generously. Each submissive you are about to meet has pledged to make this a weekend to remember, and every penny you spend not only will the Castle match, but it will, in Don’s name, be donated to aid in a very worthy cause: the fight to eradicate cancer for good.” Applause erupted through the room. Master Marshall held up his hands, waiting for the room to quiet. “Before we begin, let’s go over the rules. What you are purchasing tonight is the use of a willing submissive who has vowed to make herself yours from the moment you make payment until ten o’clock Monday morning. If you are the winning bidder in an auction, your submissive will be removed to a waiting area while you settle your account. You will then be given a file containing his or her likes, wants, desires…and hard limits. You will make yourself familiar with those limits and you will not cross those lines.” The quiet that had descended over the audience became amplified as Marshall looked over them, the ice blue of his gaze seeming to pierce each one of them in turn. “Your submissive has vowed to make his or herself pliant to your desires,” Marshall continued, and his stare became positively glacial. “But no still means no. If you cross that line, you will find yourself in my office and I will not be forgiving. Also, the Castle rule regarding gags is still very much in effect. If you do not apply for a waiver and I catch you using one, I will not be forgiving. Are these rules understood?” No one in the audience said a word, but his edicts were crystal clear and after another sweeping glare, Marshal nodded. “Then let us begin. Our first submissive, ladies and gentlemen. Please welcome…Jasmine.” While you're here, why not take a moment and check out some of these other great blogs.

Blake Sue Lyndon Bella Bryce Rayanna Jamison Stevie MacFarlane Keriann McKenna Abbie Adams ![]() I'm thrilled to have Korey Mae Johnson with me today, one of the authors of Stormy Night's brand new boxed set, The Conquered Brides Collection. Stevie: Okay, Korey Mae, spill all the juicy tidbits about this fabulous collaboration. Korey Mae: Thanks so, so much for having me on your site, Stevie. You're fantastic, and you have me totally jazzed because I get to talk about the medieval spanking erotica collection, "Conquered Brides." I love that I got to work on this project, with Renee Rose as our wonderful leader keeping us on-course, and I love how different it is compared to many other boxsets. We all wrote novels, all 30,000 to ~45,000 words EACH, that all stand on their own, have full plots and can be read alone. But the way we wrote it is most powerful together, since all the books are taking place around the same event, in the same castle, in the same world, and the same time. We have a lot of interweaving between characters, histories, and story lines, which we hoped would it especially fun & rich for the readers who bought the entire collection. The plot is set in the real world, in the middle ages, around a castle that still stands today, Hohenzollern. Although we played up the romance of the era and made sure that it wasn't based on actual historical figures, it was inspired by the castle's rich history, its beauty, and it's location. It was a really inspiring location, and it made it extremely fun to write. And I have to admit, I do like any book where I can make a cover that incorporates my vacation photo. If someone's worried that these books might be similar, than think again! I was worried about the same thing, but once we were all done, I was astounded that 5 books with so many things in common like time, location, and events could still be so amazingly different in every other way. Some are hot and sexy and some are more on the sweet side. All of them have some rocking alpha males and spanking action, but the characters, dialogue and writing styles truly set each book apart. It was fun to write, and I learned a lot. It's not often a writer gets the opportunity to work in a group, and these gals are amazing and so was the experience. We truly hope everyone who likes medieval romance and/or spanking will enjoy it as much as we enjoyed writing it! The Mighty Blurb of the Conquered Brides Boxset: When the castle they called home is besieged and ultimately falls, five women are captured and carried off as wives by their foes. Will they be treated as no more than the spoils of war, or can their new lords prove themselves worthy of the love and submission of their conquered brides? The Conquered Brides is a five-book collection featuring brand-new titles from five top erotic romance authors. This collection includes:
Commanding the Princess, by Korey Mae Johnson As the ruler of Hohenzollern Castle in name only, Susanna has watched helplessly for years as her power-hungry uncle made one enemy after another for her. One enemy stands out, and the moment she catches sight of him, Princess Susanna is certain that it will be Gerhard of Bavaria who brings her world down around her. As his army smashes through her gates, Susanna makes the only choice she has left. She surrenders herself to Gerhard, hoping to win mercy for her people, though she fears it will come at the cost of her life. But she soon learns that Gerhard has other plans for her, plans which may end with her surrendering much more than just her castle to him. The Knight’s Seduction, by Renee Rose Avowed to never again yield to a man’s ill-treatment, Lady Daisy stands ready to fight to the death when her castle is sacked. The imposing knight Sir Barrett has other ideas, however, and to her dismay, Daisy soon finds herself not only disarmed, but soundly spanked as well. Sir Barrett takes her as his captive bride, but when she shows real terror at the prospect of consummating their marriage, he offers her a bargain. She will offer her body to him and accept the pleasurable torments he inflicts, but he will not claim her fully until she aches for it so badly she begs him. Certain she will do no such thing, Daisy agrees, but can she resist the knight's seduction? The Widow Is Mine, by Ashe Barker Since her husband’s untimely passing, Lady Natalia has resigned herself to a quiet life as a young widow and perhaps one day as a nun. But when her adopted home is conquered by the enemy, her world is turned upside down. After he rescues her from the chaos of Hohenzollern’s fall, Duke Stefan of Richtenholst cannot imagine allowing Natalia to languish behind the walls of a convent. The duke takes Natalia home as his wife, and he quickly proves himself ready to compel her obedience when it is necessary, but can he ever truly make her his own? Conquering Lady Claire, by Sue Lyndon As Hohenzollern Castle falls, mayhem unfolds around Lady Claire, and her only aim is to lead as many women and children of the castle to safety as possible. In an odd turn of fortune, her courageous efforts ultimately lead to her capture by none other than Lord Galien of Minrova, the very man that her brother, a powerful duke, recently commanded to find her and claim her as his wife. Claire’s defiance is quickly overcome by means of a firm hand applied to her bare bottom, but Galien is not content merely going through the motions of a political marriage. His skilled lovemaking soon leaves his new bride begging for more, but can he conquer her heart as well? Kidnapped and Claimed, by Dinah McLeod When her husband’s repeated infidelities and drunken insults become too much to bear, Lady Cecily flees to her childhood home at Hohenzollern, but things quickly go from bad to worse and she is kidnapped from the castle stables only moments after her arrival. Cecily ignores her abductor’s warnings of ruin about to befall Hohenzollern and his claim that he took her from the castle only to keep her safe. She resists him every step of the way, until at last he spanks her long and hard. Despite his firm chastisement, it soon becomes clear to Cecily that her captor cares for her in a way her husband never did. But can she forgive him for stealing her from her home? Publisher’s Note: The Conquered Brides contains spankings, sexual scenes, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book. Excerpt from “Commanding the Princess”: “You are the most foolish woman I ever met,” he told her, feeling breathless. “You cannot go this far from me by yourself.” “I am sorry,” she replied, her voice also quiet. He pulled back from her and shook her hard. “Don’t you know you might have been killed? You had nothing to protect you. You were alone! I told you to stay in my sight!” She swallowed and shook her head, still looking dazed. “I know, I know, I am sorry!” Without another word he grabbed her forearm and pulled her firmly in the direction of their camp. His mind was reeling with images of what might have happened to her. How had he ever thought himself paranoid! He knew what could happen—he’d seen victims of wolf attacks many times before. They were all too common, especially in the winter months when their prey was scarce. And Susanna had gone marching away into danger just to pout! “Gerhard, speak to me,” she begged, and by her tone she had to have known that she’d upset him greatly. “I’m tired of letting you play the role of spoiled princess with me, Susanna. As I told you, you are no longer a princess. You are mine. You will be my wife, and I will not see you risk your safety. Do you understand me?” “Y-yes,” she said uncertainly, sounding apologetic. “I said I was sorry, Gerhard, I—” “You will be sorry,” he gritted. “You’re going to be one sorry girl when I’m done with you. I’m going to give you a whipping you’ll not forget anytime soon!” She tried to stop and then dug in her heels when she stumbled slightly, finding that he wasn’t planning on stopping until they were safely back at camp. “Gerhard, stop!’ she whined. “Stop, please. Be reasonable—I was upset, I needed air!” “And now you need a good spanking,” he retorted, yanking her back into step with him. Bacon had no objections—he was leading the way, apparently as eager to gain distance from the wolf attack as he was, oinking as only a living pig could. She was trying to fight him now, slapping at his arm. “Please, I was grateful! Can’t you just let me be grateful?” she demanded. “I am very glad you’re pleased with me, sweeting,” he gritted, “but I have to show you that, although I’ll be a patient husband with you, there is certainly still a line that I expect you not to cross. Anything that risks your safety is over that line.” Stevie: It sounds wonderful and I can't wait to read it. Thanks for sharing this with us, Korey Mae, and best of luck with this new collection.

Amazon ![]() Today's guest author is my friend, Katherine Deane, sharing an excerpt from her newest book: Cassie and The Fire Captain. When twenty-four-year-old Cassie Stevens meets Eric Waters, her town’s hunky new fire captain, she assumes he is way out of her league. Cassie isn’t a beauty queen like her mother, and a mature, no-nonsense man like Eric would never be attracted to a fun-loving tomboy like her, especially considering her penchant for getting herself in trouble. So it comes as a shock when he stops by the diner where she works, steers her out of an altercation with some rude customers, and promptly asks her out on a date. It doesn’t take Cassie long to realize that she has finally met the man of her dreams, and Eric seems to enjoy her sense of humor and playful ways. But after she pulls a foolish prank on him during their first date, he takes her over his knee for a spanking, and she quickly discovers how much a man’s firm hand can sting when applied to a naughty girl’s bare bottom. Eric’s attention and affection make Cassie feel more loved than she has ever felt before, and despite her sore bottom, his discipline leaves her aroused and yearning to be his. But just as she’s about to give him her heart, it seems he’s no longer interested. Can Cassie put aside her fears and trust Eric, or will her doubts set off a chain of events which will tear their relationship apart? Here's a hot little excerpt: The sounds of the wet, stinging spanks almost threw her over the edge. She reached her hand between her legs, grinding against her fist as he spanked her again and again. “I think you like being spanked with your arousal all over your bare bottom,” his voice sounded hoarse and low. Was he as turned on as she was? She wiggled her bottom and pressed it up higher, so his fingers connected with her wet pussy lips. “God, Cass, you’re killing me.” He groaned, and pulled her to stand, pressing her forward at the hips. “Bend over, and don’t you dare come without me.” He quickly shucked his pants and donned a condom. “I’m sorry, honey. I know I promised you conversation and wine, but I need to have you now.” In response she spread her legs and lifted her bottom. “We can talk later, and wine is overrated.” This is a copy of the review I left for this book on Amazon: 5.0 out of 5 stars I love a Happy Ever After February 6, 2015 By Stevie MacFarlane Format:Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase This was such a sweet book. It has spice and mischief along with romance. Cassie and Eric are perfect for each other. I love that while he's dominant in some ways, he's also incredibly supportive and doesn't try to change her quirky personality. In most books I find myself rooting for the spunky little heroine, but in this one you're rooting for them both. I love a HEA, but you just know that Cassie hasn't had her last spanking when you close the book. You can find this book on: Buy on Amazon Barnes and Noble AllRomance Kobo |
