Five Stars! The Artist is the story of a nineteenth century painter, Theo and his model, Lizzie. This is the perfect setup for a romance novel because, as we all know, artists are always shagging their models. I have known this to be true since I read Judith Kranz’s Mistral’s Daughter when I was…
Book Review – Stolen Moments by Maren Smith
Five Stars! Stolen Moments is a fantastically good book. It also, oddly, the first book I’ve read of Maren Smith’s where I kind of wished there was less spanking in it. Not because the spanking in this book isn’t amazing. It is. The hero, Draven Gray, is a satisfying hunk of brawn, intelligence and…
Splendid Isolation
We are living, as the apocryphal Chinese curse says, in interesting times. “Interesting” as in simultaneously terrifying and really quite boring. Because, it turns out, that the heroic thing to do in the Covid-19 crisis is to stay home and not get up to much. I live with both my elderly parents so I am…

Book Review – Returning to Us by PK Corey
Four Stars The new series of Corbin’s Bend continues in great style with PK Corey’s Returning to Us. This book follows Vanessa Brooks’ Sub-Divided, where the heroine was a spanko who wasn’t sure if she wanted a Domestic Discipline relationship. In contrast, Susan, the heroine of Returning to Us definitely knows that she wants DD. The…

Book Review – King & Hunt by Brienne Dubh
Four Stars Brienne Dubh’s new book is a wonderfully funny hate-to-lust story whose main characters Gabby King and Christian Hunt are a joy to spend time with. Christian is Gabby’s best friend’s brother and they have spent decades since their teens detesting one another. Their barbed insults and name-calling are wickedly entertaining right from the…

Corbin’s Bend – Sub-Divided by Vanessa Brooks
Five Stars! Corbin’s Bend is back! And it’s bigger than ever! Well, it may not actually be that much bigger. They’ve probably built a few new houses but otherwise the Bend is pretty much how we last left it. It’s all still there – the spanking-based housing community in the Colorado mountains. There’s a…
Book Review – Daddy’s Sassy Little Superhero by Adaline Raine
Daddy’s Sassy Little Superhero Four Stars Sometimes, it turns out, making one seemingly small decision will have repercussions that will affect your life forever. That’s certainly the case for Caitlyn, the heroine of Adaline Raine’s sweet spanky superhero romance, Daddy’s Sassy Little Superhero. Like Maren Smith’s Daddy Shark which I reviewed last week, this story…
