Marketing Copy:

Dora Lexington is cute, round, and utterly practical. She has watched her best friends find their husbands, knowing full-well it will never happen to her. Or so she thinks until meeting Xander’s cousin Gaelic Covington. At first she doesn’t see how such a handsome, successful man can be attracted to her. But attracted he is. In fact, he has been head over heels in love with her for years.

As they come to know one another, they discover each other’s secrets and she finds out that in the heart of the strong man is a boy who is just as worried at being rejected as she is. Falling in love with him is simple; even simpler to submit to his lead. However, when Dora discovers something about herself that she finds shocking, she tries to run. Now it’s up to Gaelic to convince her that nothing will make him leave, not even that.

About the series "In Hyacinth" by Bree Cariad:

Hyacinth, Washington is all about old-fashioned values. In Hyacinth words like trust, honor, and kindness aren't just buzzwords. Hyacinth is a community built on tradition and trust, where men are the head of the home and women are encouraged to follow their lead.

Each story in the series is of a young woman (18-20) and her struggle to figure out who she is in this little town while at the same time going through Hyacinth's old-fashioned courting system. On their way to meet, get to know, and finally marry their princes, these heroines grow in ways they and their town never expected.

Excerpt:

“How do you feel about being spanked?”

That wasn’t a question she had expected. “I’ve been disciplined my whole life,” she admitted. “Even though it hurts, I find peace in it, I guess.”

His eyes searched hers, though she had no idea what he was looking for. Finally, he relaxed a little and leaned back in his seat. “My father and uncle are two very unique people. Both dominant men who believe in being head of the household. But it wasn’t until I began spending summers in Hyacinth that I found out people actually spanked. Dad doesn’t. Uncle Alex does.” He paused as if looking for what words he wanted to use. “I’ll admit, I was shocked the first time he took a paddle to me. Shocked, horrified, angry…and completely confused. When I talked to Xan about it and found out that for him this was the norm, it kind of threw me.

“I understand the peace part as Cami has mentioned she feels the same thing. Xan and I both had the same kind of reaction: that it settled us and made us think twice about our actions. My parents never understood my requesting to return to Hyacinth every summer after that. I wasn’t sure I understood it. I knew if I did something disrespectful that I would be punished, but it took several years before I actually understood why I loved coming here.

“I knew where I stood with Uncle Alex. There was no gray area. You were either right or wrong. That’s it.” He paused, his thumb still rubbing the back of her hand. “I love my own father. But I think it’s through Uncle Alex that I learned to be a man and how to care of and take responsibility for the people I love. And not just in discipline. If he was wrong, he admitted it freely. When he apologized for something he did, I remember being stunned the first time and respecting him even more the second. I’m not strict like he is, Dora. I love you and the main thing is I want you to be happy. If spanking makes you feel better, I’m very willing to go that route. I understand the kind of relief it brings. But I’ve never been a hard-and-fast rule kind of guy.

“So,” he said after taking a deep breath, “what I’m saying is I may not know when you need a spanking, at least not at first. And I’m going to make mistakes and miss clues all over the place. Xan said I needed to set up some ground rules with you and that if you broke them it was your way of asking for a spanking, but I wasn’t sure how you’d feel about that.”

Dora was sure right in that moment that she had found the world’s most perfect man. Honest, caring, loving, and wanting to work on things together. There was something to be said for the alpha-male types like Xan and Alex, but while Gaelic could react strongly when she was threatened, he was overall a teddy bear. And she loved that about him.

“I love that idea,” she said quietly. “I do need discipline from time to time. A few months ago I got myself into a real emotional mess, built it into a huge thing. A spanking would have knocked it right out. For the most part, I’m calm and quiet. But…There’s a peace to knowing you will discipline me when I need it. Because I do need it sometimes.” In a way it was strange talking like this. She and her friends had talked about it often, but discussing this particular subject with a man seemed peculiar and yet as it was Gaelic, it also felt natural.

“There are a few things that I think are essential to a good, loving relationship,” he continued in a quiet voice. “I’m not even sure they need mentioned as you do them so effortlessly. But how could I discipline you if you did break them if I didn’t set them up as a rule in the first place? That would make me a coward and a cheat. Two things I’m not.” She squeezed his hand and he smiled at her. “Respect and complete honesty are two rules I hold dear, Dora. Both to you and myself. Break either of those and I believe a spanking is warranted. I also feel that if you feel you need one, you should also feel free to ask for it. I would never laugh at you. Ever. I understand that discipline is mental just as much as physical. I also believe it brings the couple closer together. So, please ask. Does that make sense?”

Beaming, she nodded. “Yes, very much. And I agree.”

“I love you,” he said, cupping her cheek with the hand that wasn’t holding hers.

“I love you, too.” Gazing into his eyes, she found herself opening her mouth and blurting out the question that had been in her mind for the last week. “What do you use?”

Confusion washed over his face. “Use?”

Blushing as she realized he had no idea what she meant, she explained. “To spank? I thought all guys spanked like my dad and then after talking to Cami and Kathy, I found out every guy seems to have their own unique way of doing it.”

“Oh,” he said grinning at her. “I enjoy slippering.”

I've moved!!!! Hello Wordpress, goodbye blogger

Typical! I spend ages mucking about in WordPress, finding my feet and transferring stuff, then Google backtrack and say "Hey, naughty stuff is good. We're cool."
Well tough luck Blogger because I've already got my new home and its all shiny and clutter free, so I think  I'll head over there anyway.

Bear with me on it though! It might take me a while to get up to speed, and I still have to sort out the widgets like blogs I read and things like that. I'll get there in the end.

So its goodbye Blogger, hello Wordpress!

Book Spotlight - A Perfect Partnership by Rayanna Jamison #Spanking #CorbinsBend

I am thrilled to showcase an excerpt from a book I have eagerly awaited: A Perfect Partnership by Rayanna Jamison which is book eight in the second season of the fantastic Corbin's Bend series.

Rayanna has a very tempting teaser to share with us - it certainly makes me greedy for more!



Excerpt:

“Come here, Lannea,” he said sitting on the bed, and patting a spot on the bedcovers beside him.

“Why did you come here tonight?” It was imperative to him that they opened the lines of conversation at least enough to discuss the spanking he would give her, and the reasons behind it.

“Because you told me to,” she smirked.

Oh, now she wanted to brat. Obviously, she didn’t plan on making this easy for him. That was fine. Two could play that game.

“I gave you a free pass downstairs, to make all the smart ass little remarks you wanted to, and you had nothing to say. Well guess what, we’re upstairs now, and every little comment you make now is going to make your ass smart a little bit more. Your free pass is gone. Are we clear?”

“Yup,” Lannea breathed, looking a little awed. To be honest, Josiah was feeling a little awed himself. He had no idea where this stuff was coming from- just as he had had no idea where his original threat had came from.

“Yup is not an acceptable response when I ask you a question Lannea. The proper response would be ‘Yes Sir’.”

“Yes Sir,” Lannea mumbled, her eyes downcast.

Josiah frowned. He didn’t like that. He hooked his finger under her chin gently lifting her face until her gaze met his own.

“That’s my good girl, he said, careful to keep his voice soft and approving. “Now, Once again, why did you come here?”

“Because…because you said you would spank me if I came, and…it’s been a long time. A really long time,” she admitted, leaning forward to lay her head on his shoulder.

“How long has it been, Lannea? Tell me the truth.”

“It’s been…probably about three years, since I was in culinary school.”

Josiah nodded gravely. “You need this pretty badly, don’t you? Probably have for a long time.”

Her lip quivered, and he wasn’t surprised to see tears forming in the corners of her eyes as she nodded.

“Tell me Lannea. Say it. I want to hear from you why you need me to spank that perfect little bottom of yours.”

Blurb:

Josiah Jefferson left the polygamist community he grew up in to make a new home in Corbin's Bend. He wanted to find the one woman he could love and spank for the rest of his life. When a summer storm blows beautiful Lannea Paulsen into his life, he sees it as fate and never looks back.

Lannea Paulsen, better known as Laney to everyone but the stubborn Josiah, has had two goals since she moved to Corbin's Bend last year. Save enough money to buy half of The Ginger Paddle, the sushi restaurant she runs with her cousin, and find a strong dominant man who is willing and ready to take her in hand in every way possible.

When Laney puts the business in jeopardy, Josiah comes to the rescue. One thing leads to another and they find themselves in a tumultuous platonic DD relationship. Sparks fly as they both refuse to admit the depth of their true feelings. Will they settle for less than they desire or will they chase after everything they have ever wanted?

Phase 2 of the blog reorganisation. #Free #Shortstory

As promised, I have now orgainsed any free short stories posted on the blog over the last year and a half to make them easier to find. So if you're in the mood, grab a coffee or a glass of wine, pull up a chair and enjoy.

Not in any particular order, mainly the order I found them on the blog. These are all the short stories I have posted - I think! It would be too cluttered to put one story under another, you would never find them, so I have added links to another page for each story. Just click the title of the story you wish to read and it will direct you to another page on the blog.  I'll add any other stories later if I find them.

The Finnegan Academy for Young Ladies

This short story was written purely for fun for the end of summer spanks blog hop. Before I start into my story I want to give a special word of thanks to the following wonderful people for agreeing to attend The Finnegan Academy For Young Ladies and letting me run riot on them. I never had as much fun writing a story. This is a work of fiction. Characters, places and incidents either are products of my imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual events or locales or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental. Names, however, are real spanking fiction authors, but used with kind permission of the person in question.

Siobhan And The Banshee
In this spooky little Hallowe'en tale, we're going to drop in on Siobhan and Michael, the
two main characters from My Naughty Little Secret...

This short story was written for the spank or treat blog hop Hallowe'en 2013.

(Spanking, erotica, hallowe'en, spooky.)


A Letter to Ann

I saw a short story challenge, where the writer was to write a short story in 650 words or less,
without using any of the usual anatomy words.
At the time it struck me, that the easiest way to avoid using the conventional words was to go
back to a time when people were much more polite and coy, before the internet, or the telephone
and when letter writing was the most likely way you would get a story off your chest.
I didn't enter the competition in the end, but I had the story so I posted it here :)

(Spanking, Erotica. Historical)

An Indecent Proposal

This short story was written for the Winterspanks blog hop brought to you by Spanking Romance Reviews and the Saturday Spankings Blog.

(M/f Spanking, DD)

The Long Road

Non erotic fiction, this story was written before started writing professionally and deals with the subject of bereavement.

In Need of a Good Spanking - for the most disorganised blog in spanking fiction

Hey all!

I just recently realised how remiss I am on my blog, There was nowhere for someone to click on a page and sere all my published books. I really do need a kick up the arse for my disorganisation. Marketing is obviously not my forte! It just dawned on me that I have 5 published books, and 2 multi author box sets on sale and no place for anyone to see them. I'll go and stand in the corner right now and prepare for my virtual spanking. Shame on me.

I'm correcting that right now, and over the rest of the week, I will be doing a bit of tidying up on the blog over all, combining the short stories onto one page, posting any toys I have mentioned on another and generally getting a more user friendly work space going. I'll publish the changes on the current day on my blog, and also give the sections their own pages for easy finding.

Thanks for bearing with me and not shouting at me for being a mess up til now. This whole writing thing just sort of happened and it takes a while to learn what I am supposed to be doing :)

Mastering Maeve

Blurb:
Finished with college and unable to find a job in her chosen field, twenty-four year old Maeve O’Reilly saw little choice but to return to her hometown in Connemara and work in her grandmother’s hotel. Maeve has barely walked in the door, however, when she learns that the establishment is deep in debt and an American visitor is considering an investment which could be the only chance to avoid foreclosure. 

That visitor turns out to be a tall, ruggedly handsome rancher by the name of Larry Williamson, a man whose dominant personality immediately puts him in conflict with the willful Maeve. When she slaps Larry across the face during a heated argument, Maeve learns to her horror that Larry is more than ready to haul her over his knee and back up his firm tone with a firm hand applied to her helpless bottom. 

Larry might like to tell himself that he has chosen to move forward with the hotel investment only to avoid any legal difficulties stemming from the spanking incident, but he knows full well that there is only one thing in Ireland he is interested in right now, and that is a beautiful, feisty, sore-bottomed young lady named Maeve. 

As the days pass, Maeve quickly finds her anger at Larry fading to grudging respect, and the memory of his chastisement begins to kindle a powerful need within her… a need only the arrogant, bossy Texan can satisfy. Maeve longs for Larry to strip her bare and claim her in a way no man has before, and when at last he does all she can do is beg for more. But will the wide gulf of the Atlantic and the hard realities of a long-distance romance tear the unlikely couple apart, or will they find a way to defy the odds and forge their passion into a lasting bond? 

Publisher’s Note: Mastering Maeve is an erotic novel that includes spankings, anal play, sexual scenes, elements of BDSM, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

My Naughty Little Secret 

Blurb:

From the moment she saw him on her first day at her new job in London, there was something about Michael which annoyed Siobhan Brennan… and something else that pulled her to this stunningly handsome man and his boldly arrogant personality. In spite of her misgivings she soon finds herself out on a date with him, and she is torn between a desire to defy him as often as possible and a deeper, more disturbing need to submit to him. It certainly doesn’t help that very embarrassing thoughts keep popping into her head uninvited: images of herself bent over, bare bottom on

It is not long before Siobhan, in a rash moment, actually dares Michael to spank her, only to find that he is more than up to the challenge of turning her naked backside bright red. To her horror, her sore behind only fuels the fire growing within her, and she is soon on her knees before him, blushing with shame yet needing him to take her and take her hard.

It is only afterwards that the couple must come to terms with what took place, and what it means for their relationship. Was this just a one-time event, something to be tried but never repeated, or will Siobhan find herself punished like a naughty girl again in the future? As scandalized as it makes her feel, in her heart she knows what she needs, but is Michael prepared to give it to her? And when she finds out that Michael has kept something important from her about his past and who he really is, will she be able to forgive him or will the revelation tear them apart forever?

Publisher’s Note: My Naughty Little Secret is an erotic novel that includes spankings, anal play, graphic sexual scenes, elements of BDSM, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

Before she knows it, her strict husband is taking her temperature the old-fashioned way, and that is just the start. Cade soon demonstrates that he is more than ready to give his wife the discipline she needs, even if it leaves her cheeks blushing as red as her well-spanked bottom.

Her Old-Fashioned Doctor, by Sue Lyndon

But things take an unexpected turn when she rear-ends Dr. John Holden’s truck in a tiny rural town and he responds by inviting her for an impromptu dinner date. The handsome medic’s charm and take-charge manner—not to mention his willingness to spank her bare bottom if he feels it necessary—all combine to set Melissa’s heart beating faster than it has in a long time. But is her rapidly growing crush on John merely a rebound fling, or can his hold on her heart last forever?

Brent Carmichael loved Corbin's Bend. A small community at the base of the rocky mountains just for spankofiles, he worked tirelessly to make sure everything ran smoothly and that the residents were safe and happy. He never intended to fall in love but when Charmagne Kendle stumbled into his life, he found an attraction he had no intention of fighting.

Char moved to Corbin's Bend after losing her job, her apartment, and her fiance all in one day. She had no idea she was actually moving to a spanking community but with the freedom to explore her secret fetish, she found herself happily upended over Brent's lap.

Ange soon learns that in this new environment, Jim is not beyond chastising her with a good sound spanking as the couple face their past demons and try to recover the closeness they once shared. New challenges soon face the couple. Will their difficulties destroy them or can their move be what Ange initially hoped for, an exile to unity?

Long Shot by Cara Bristol

Abby Delaney moves to Corbin’s Bend to work at her aunt’s antique store to recover from a painful divorce. She gets more than expected when she meets sexy, charming Harris Montgomery, a local businessman and tennis pro, a man who seems to be the exact opposite of her ex-husband. Through Harris, she discovers her submissive side when he introduces her to spanking good times, and she begins to trust herself again. But when the relationship progresses to a deeper level, she discovers Harris and her ex share more in common than she’d thought. With future happiness on the line, can she risk surrendering her heart on a long shot?

A Simple Misunderstanding by Kathryn R. Blake

Though Arthur and Eleanor Benson have been practicing domestic discipline for three months since their wedding, he insists moving to Corbin's Bend, where domestic discipline is the norm rather than the exception, will revitalize their marriage. Elly has doubts, but since Arthur is the undisputed head of their household, they move. However, once Arthur becomes immersed in a community where spanking is not only permitted, but encouraged, his personality undergoes a dramatic change. Accusing his submissive wife of being lazy, disorganized and disobedient, he employs creative methods of pain and humiliation to mold Elly from the imperfect woman he married into the perfect woman he desires. And Elly finds herself a virtual prisoner in her own home, accountable only to the man who rules her life with a cane.

In his years as a vet, Jerry Douglas has seen what abuse does to animals, and he recognizes those same signs in Elly Benson during her daily escape to the dog park with her tiny poodle. Jerry steadfastly supports the tenets of domestic discipline and enjoys the freedom Corbin's Bend offers its residents, but he remains fiercely protective of anyone in need of a champion. And when he witnesses evidence of harsh handling, his instinct is to rush in and rescue. Problem is Elly Benson is a married and consenting adult who insists all her bruises and welts are nothing more than a simple misunderstanding between her and her husband, until the day Arthur Benson takes his authority and discipline one-step too far, endangering Elly's life.

New year - old sloppiness!

First off, Happy New Year!

 Ah hello Tara, nice of you to join us, I hear you all say, sarcasm dripping from your tongues.

 And yep, I deserve it, - 7 days into the new year - school back since Monday - and where is Tara? Missing in action!

 Is she writing a masterpiece with hair sticking up all over the place, body sticky and sweaty from the fact that she can't be torn away from the computer because the voices in her head are gone manic? Nope, and nope.

 Is she a lazy, disorganised slob who is lacking motivation and taking an extra long holiday? Yes guilty, I'm afraid.
I have no excuse except idleness. I haven't done any writing. I haven't even done much of my other job either. I have just been relishing in the nice quiet house since the kids returned to school.

 I'm starting up another blog, and you can be sure it will be as haphazard and infrequent as this one, but it's totally unrelated to my writing so I can't put them both on the one spot. As the other blog is personal, I am not looking for commenters that could link me back to this world, as someday I will probably share it with my family. For that reason I have turned on comment moderation. Even if I never approve the comment, you can rest assured I will read it. :) Here you go!

In light of the above new blog, I can safely say my resolution for 2015 is to live life to the full, and remember to enjoy every moment of it. Sometimes it's easy to forget how precious life really is.

#SatSpanks Christmas visits in My Naughty Little Secret

Welcome to another Saturday spankings  kindly hosted as always by the wonderful Kathryn Blake. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and your cup is overflowing with love, life and happiness - mine certainly is! 

In honour of the season, I am sharing a snippet of Siobhan and Michael's first Christmas together, from My Naughty Little Secret, which, if you hurry, is still on sale at the fantastic price of $2.99 for a full length novel (80,000+ words)

“I really missed you, Shiv,” he said, kissing me.

“Me too,” I mumbled as my reply was smothered by his lips. A few other travellers were watching our display with obvious entertainment.

“Aw, hell, it’s Christmas,” I giggled at their amused glances.

We booked into our hotel and I suggested food. I figured he must be hungry after travelling for the last few hours.

“Food later, you first,” he demanded hungrily. “I thought we were staying with your family?”

“We are, tomorrow, I don’t want to share you tonight. Mind you, Mam has me warned I have to bring you over for a while later.”

He pushed me in the bedroom door and we both went straight for the bed, ripping off clothes as fast as we could.

“I believe your ladyship ordered a spanking,” Michael said mischievously, turning me face down on the bed.

Blurb:

From the moment she saw him on her first day at her new job in London, there was something about Michael which annoyed Siobhan Brennan… and something else that pulled her to this stunningly handsome man and his boldly arrogant personality. In spite of her misgivings she soon finds herself out on a date with him, and she is torn between a desire to defy him as often as possible and a deeper, more disturbing need to submit to him. It certainly doesn’t help that very embarrassing thoughts keep popping into her head uninvited: images of herself bent over, bare bottom on display, waiting for Michael to chastise her firmly.

It is not long before Siobhan, in a rash moment, actually dares Michael to spank her, only to find that he is more than up to the challenge of turning her naked backside bright red. To her horror, her sore behind only fuels the fire growing within her, and she is soon on her knees before him, blushing with shame yet needing him to take her and take her hard.

It is only afterwards that the couple must come to terms with what took place, and what it means for their relationship. Was this just a one-time event, something to be tried but never repeated, or will Siobhan find herself punished like a naughty girl again in the future? As scandalized as it makes her feel, in her heart she knows what she needs, but is Michael prepared to give it to her? And when she finds out that Michael has kept something important from her about his past and who he really is, will she be able to forgive him or will the revelation tear them apart forever?
