Do As The Doctor Orders is book 4 in the Ruttingdon Club Series.

About the Novel:
  Lady Cassandra Martinbury has a big problem - her spendthrift father has bankrupted their earldom and left the two of them nearly penniless. The only way to save what is left of the family estate is for her to marry a man of means, but she draws the line at being forced to submit to the vicious Marquess of Radcliffe, her only suitor.
  Feigning illness to avoid wedding Radcliffe, Cassandra comes under the care of Dr. Henry Sutherland, a Ruttingdon Club member and a specialist in the treatment of female hysteria. He can tell immediately that she is faking her symptoms, but the thought of a week with the beautiful woman at his private sanatorium is just too tempting to resist.
  But Cassandra needs a decent, agreeable husband, not a week at a remote therapy spa, where there are few people at all to be found, let alone any unattached men of good breeding. Still, that is where she ends up, although she has no intention of remaining there. Her repeated escape attempts from the place find her over the handsome doctor's knee three times before she realizes that the man to save her and her father might just be right in front of her!

Excerpt:
  The water was warm, thank God, and it was utterly relentless. This was no thin trickle spluttering out of a tap – this was a veritable torrent of pressurised water aimed solely at her most secret parts!
 
 Her chemise, made of fine cotton, immediately became soaking wet and plastered itself to her body. She might as well have been naked in the chair, for allthe cover that it gave her! It was as if the moment the water hit her body, it controlled her completely. She could no longer speak the Queen’s English, as all she could utter were incoherent groans and moans. She writhed against the straps, trying to angle her body towards the delicious pressure pumped against her by the relentless water. Her hips jerked of their own volition, wantonly and obscenely. Her previous fear about the water treatment had disappeared completely. She no longer wished to avoid it – she wanted more of it!
 
  Distantly she heard footsteps come close to her, but her eyes were shut tight against the ferocity of the sensations generated by the pressure of the water. Tightness was starting deep in her belly, a pressure that she could not explain, even if she had the words to do so. The tingling sensation so memorable from the doctor’s touch back in London had started again, faintly
tickling at her as she tried her best to angle herself to accept more of the water.
 
  A deep chuckle came from somewhere above her, but she could not bring herself to open her eyes to see Dr Sutherland look down at her.
“It seems that the treatment is working,” he said. “Are you feeling the benefits, Lady Cassandra?”


About the Author:
  I'm Louise Taylor, and I love reading and writing historical romance novels! I’ve now written eight full length erotic historical romances, and all my novels are published by the lovely people at Blushing Books.
  All my books have elements of power exchange, spanking and BDSM but none of my heroines are weak-willed or easily dominated - they make their men work for their love!
  I live on the beautiful Welsh coast, and I love walking the cliff tops and visiting some of our wonderful historical ruins. I get my best ideas when I'm in the great outdoors and you can usually find me chasing after the piece of paper I've just scribbled my notes on!
  I live in a late Victorian house with wonderfully high ceilings and no central heating - thank goodness for my fabulous fireplace! I'm owned by Alfred The Great, an enormous tom cat with very decided ideas about who gets to sit on the right side of the sofa and how long I am allowed to stay in bed in the morning.

The Wrong Script   by  Jamie Phillips

12/22/2016

About the Book:
  La-la Land. The city of angels. The place where ordinary Joe or Jane can realize their dream of becoming rich and famous.
  For Tori, Los Angeles is not living up to its promise. Rather than living her dream, she’s waiting tables—hoping for her big break. And hoping it will come before she runs completely out of money. In desperate times, we all take desperate measures, so she takes one step toward becoming a little less poor, possibly at the cost of becoming infamous.
  Mark is a writer who has realized his dream. His book is about to become a real, honest to goodness, Hollywood blockbuster. He’s come down from Canada to work on the script. When he spies a beautiful young woman in tears, he naturally swoops in to help. But, this young woman confuses him. She pulls him to her, desperate for his guidance, then pushes him away. Sure it will help calm her, he uses his new-found influence to secure her a small part in the movie version of his best-selling book.
  This is Tori’s big break, but instead of being happy, she’s panicking because her porn video is about to go viral. Everything will be ruined! Her big break will turn into a bust, and Mark will spurn her when he sees what she’s done. This is not the script she imagined for her life.
  Mark cannot understand. Why isn’t she happy? What is she hiding? Her secrets threaten to put an end to their relationship before it even begins.
Can these two star-crossed outsiders survive Los Angeles and find fulfilment? Or will the sleazy world of make-believe destroy any chance they have for happiness? 


Excerpt:
  Tori kept quiet as Mark negotiated the turn onto the main road. She wanted to ask him to get her a role in the movie he was scriptwriting but it felt way too early. Smacking his face was still etched clearly in her mind. Was he the kind of person who would overlook a thing like that?
  She glanced at him. He seemed like he might; he had an honest, kindly face -- a little bluish around the cheek where she’d hit him -- but she could explain that, if he’d let her. And he was the one who’d said, “I’ll give you something to cry about,” so his tastes must run in that direction. If she didn’t mind bruises on her cheeks, why should he mind one on his?
  “How’s the script doing?” Tori asked. “It’s doing okay,” Mark replied.         “They start filming next week.”
  “I know. I asked at the studio.”
  “And I should have asked if you like Chinese food.”
  “Doesn’t everybody?” she smiled.
  It was early and the restaurant was almost empty. The staff whipped away dishes the moment Mark or Tori put down their forks and constantly pressed extra dishes on them. The effect of all this attention was to make an already strained conversation even more difficult. Fortunately, by the time they were at the coffee stage, other customers were arriving and they were no longer the staff’s chief focus.
  “It’s not easy making a living from tips,” Tori said defensively when she saw Mark’s irritation at the attention they’d been receiving.
  “I guess not,” he said. “I just don’t like being crowded.”
  “Then don’t leave a tip.”
  “What sort of message would that send? Being attentive to your customer gets you nothing?”
  “Maybe being annoying should get you nothing,” Tori countered. Then she added slyly, “Except, perhaps, a spanked bottom.” She watched him carefully to see how he’d react. It was cheap, playing on his weakness to get a foot in the door on his movie, but she might never again get this close to someone with influence, and cheap wasn’t so bad. After the past days, she could do cheap and lap it up.

About the Author:
Jamie Phillips
 So long as I can remember I've been interested in reading and spanking, particularly romantic spanking (I still think Mr. Knightley's verbal spanking of Emma in Jane Austen's book of the same name is the best there is anywhere). I’m showing my age when I say that in those long ago days it was easy to have both interests met in a large number of regular books (and even movies). Eventually, my interest in reading became an interest in writing and that naturally led to writing spanking romances.
 
I'm married with two grown kids and live in central Canada when I'm not traveling, which I very often am. If I'm not reading or writing, I can usually be found outdoors with a camera looking to capture perfect images of landscapes and wildlife.

Sadie Says I Do  by  Libby Campbell

12/15/2016

Excerpt:(Rating: NC-17 – sexy & spanky)
 
  After shampooing my hair, I washed my body with the Lady Million shower gel my mother had given me the week before. The smell was white honey and jasmine, a gentle contrast to the citrus Coco Mademoiselle I usually wore. Mom’s best friend had given it to her as a get well gift after her car accident but nothing would persuade my mother to use anything other than Chanel No. 5.
  If Mom could have seen me standing in that shower, quaking slightly at the thought of what was to come, she would have told me to run for shelter. She didn’t know the rush of love that came with the spankings.
  I’d been with Simon long enough to appreciate the way that spankings cleared the slate with him. He’d punish me for breaking his rules and then he’d forgive and forget my trespasses. The air would be fresh again, as if a terrible thunderstorm had rolled through, renewing and invigorating the world.
  I knew couples whose partnerships were battlegrounds. When one did something the other didn’t like, sulks and bickering ensued. The grievances often snowballed to dissatisfaction of major proportions. Simon’s spankings were an efficient way of resolving conflict and I loved the tender way he held me after.
  Still I hoped to disarm him just a little so I tiptoed into his office, the water from my shower still beading on my skin. When he looked up at me, his pupils dilated. I bit back a giggle of triumph and lowered my eyes so he couldn’t see the victory in them.
  He pointed and I walked to the bedroom in front of him, dragging my feet ever so slightly. This time he sat in the armchair by the window. We were on the top floor of the tallest building around so no one could see in. Yet standing in front of that open door to the patio made shyness creep over me.
  “Close it.” He nodded at the door with his uncanny way of knowing what was worrying me.
   “And the curtains?” I asked hopefully.
  “No. No one can see us but I don’t want anyone to hear the unmistakable sounds of a naughty girl having her bottom warmed.
  At those humiliating words, warm dampness rose between my legs. I stepped quickly and closed the window, determined not to give Simon more cause to spank me. His stern face said he had enough reasons already. He indicated for me to kneel in front of him and I scrambled to obey.



​Sadie Says I Do is book three in the Simon In Charge series.

About the Book:
Sadie and Simon are ready to exchange vows. Almost. All they need now is a place to call home. Once that detail is settled, Sadie promises she’ll start planning the wedding.
Money is no object and a realtor finds them a house they love immediately. Could it possibly be that easy?
Of course not! An outstanding claim means the title won’t be free for a few months yet. In the meantime, Sadie wants to carve out a life with a daily routine focused on volunteer work with homeless people. Haunted by a ghost from his past, Simon wants to resume his life of international travel at least until the house is theirs.
Can they find a happy medium?



DISCLAIMER: This book contains the spanking of adult women, mild elements of age-play, and BDSM including power exchange. If any of these offend you, please do not purchase.
 

Q and A with Libby Campbell:
Your first book, Simon Says, came out in January 2016. Sadie Says I Do is a December release. What did you learn in that first year of writing romance?
 
When I finished Simon Says, I got a big surprise: I’d fallen in love with Simon and Sadie and wasn’t ready to say good-bye to them. Their story just kept unfolding in front of me and I had to explore their world further. Three books later…
Next I realized I love writing this genre. It’s playful but still demands a lot from an author: the characters must be complex and the stories have to have a well-paced. There has to be a satisfying ending that brings all the threads and characters together. For me that means there has to be an HEA.
I also learned that other writers in this genre are enormously helpful and supportive.

 
What was your best date ever?
 
My first date with my husband. In the middle of a crowded restaurant, he said I needed a spanking. I was gazing out the window but that got my attention. Even though he’d never spanked a woman before, something in me triggered that response. How could that be? I’m such a compliant, easy going sort of woman.
At that moment, I knew we were meant for each other. The opening scene of Simon Says is based on that date.

 
Chocolate or chips?
 
Chocolate but blue chips are a close second.
 
Smooth or hairy?
 
Are we talking fruit, jackets, or cats?
 
Can you tell us about your newest release, the one that follows Winning Sadie?
 
Sadie Says I Do closes on Christmas at the end of that year in which Simon and Sadie first met.
 
Between their New Year’s meeting and their December wedding is all the passion and lust of a new love followed by the period of leveling off, of rethinking that early desire. Writing the courtship stage in the first book was easy. The early days of love are so forgiving.
 
Catching up with the lovers six months and then twelve months down the road was an interesting way to see their relationship develop. Sadie learned to assert herself more in the relationship, all the while submitting to Simon’s authority. Simon learned to let more of his vulnerable side show.
 
While all the books are basically billionaire-romance fantasies, the characters are meant to be well developed, three-dimensional people.
 
Even though Sadie Says I Do is book three in the Simon in Charges series, it can be read as a standalone novel.
 

When you write do you ever model your characters after real people?
 
Simon’s ease with languages is based on two people I know, both of whom only need 4-5 hours of exposure to a language to develop working fluency. What a gift!
 
All the other characters are straight from my overactive imagination, often inspired by real events. My female protagonists may include a great deal of my own personality.

 
What do you hope people will take away from your books?
 
The most important element in any relationship, but particularly relationships where one partner takes the command position over another, is trust.
 
I’d also like to emphasize most emphatically that DD and BDSM doesn’t always work well or effortlessly. It’s not a generic, one size fits all practice.
 
If you’re new to the world and want to integrate elements of discipline into your life, take it slowly. The heroes on the romance pages don’t exist in real life and expectations must be adjusted accordingly.

His Babygirl by Jane Henry and Maisy Archer

Excerpt:
 
  He shook his head. “Trusting is a choice, Allie. Let me prove this to you. Give me that chance.”
  She wanted to! God, did she want to. A million doubts swirled inside her head – what were the chances that a man like Slay would want to take on the chores and challenges that came with a single mom and her kid? But she’d be damned if she wouldn’t give him the opportunity to try.
  “Okay,” she told him. “I’ll trust you.”
  The hand in her hair tightened and she gasped.
  “Say again?” he asked pointedly.
  She blew out a breath and took a leap. “I’ll trust you, Daddy.”
  His answering smile was breathtaking, and so was the fast, hard kiss he pressed to her lips.
  “What time do you have to be home?” he demanded.
  Her mind whirled to keep up. “Home? Uh, Nora’s on until eleven,” she stammered.
  He glanced down at the large watch on his wrist. “That gives us nearly four hours,” he told her, and his eyes, when he looked up at her, fairly smoldered. “Plenty of time.”
  “Time for what?” Alice asked, though the clench of her belly and the beading of her nipples meant that her body already had a pretty strong idea what he planned to do.
  “Time to show little girls what happens when they lie to their daddies,” he told her.
  Oh. She swallowed and her palms became damp. Yeah, she definitely had enough time for that.


​His Babygirl is book four in the Boston Doms series.

About the Book:
Alice Cavanaugh learned early that the only person she could count on was herself. As a single mom, she works hard to provide the best life possible for her son Charlie, and to earn the respect of those around her. She might take part in a scene at The Club, but she's way too busy to be anyone's full-time submissive. And that's fine with her, since the one dominant she's fantasized about submitting to has given her nothing but mixed-signals and heartache… until now.

Alexander "Slay" Slater, a former Marine and Dungeon Master at The Club, has been eyeing Alice for a while now… from a distance. But now that he's set his sights on her, he's all in. He will make her feel safe and cared for, and attend to her every need—including taking her over his knee for a sound spanking when she needs it.

But when Alice and Slay are roped into a dangerous entanglement with an insidious drug cartel, their relationship is put to the test. Can Alice trust Slay, even when it means ignoring her own fears and instincts? Can Slay keep Alice safe from the dangers that they face? Above all, can they overcome the obstacles that keep them apart—so that Slay can become Alice's Daddy, and Alice… his babygirl?

About the Authors:
Jane Henry
  Jane has been writing since her early teens, dabbling in short stories and poetry. When she married and began having children, her pen was laid to rest for several years, until the National Novel Writing Challenge (NaNoWriMo) in 2010 awakened in her the desire to write again. That year, she wrote her first novel, and has been writing ever since. In 2012, she became interested in the d/s lifestyle, and has discovered her love for writing romance with a d/s twist. With a houseful of children, she finds time to write in the early hours of the morning, squirreled away with a laptop, blanket, and cup of hot coffee. Years ago, she heard the wise advice, “Write the book you want to read,” and has taken it to heart. She sincerely hopes you also enjoy the books she likes to read.
Maisy Archer
  Maisy is an unabashed book nerd who has been in love with romance since reading her first Julie Garwood novel at the tender age of 12. After a decade as a technical writer, she finally made the leap into writing fiction several years ago and has never looked back. Like her other great loves - coffee, caramel, beach vacations, yoga pants, and her amazing family - her love of words has only continued to grow... in a manner inversely proportional to her love of exercise, house cleaning, and large social gatherings. She loves to hear from fellow romance lovers, and is always on the hunt for her next great read.

Cassidy's Gentleman by Tess Matthews

Picture

About the Novel:
Texas in the 1880s was no place for a tenderfoot. Thornton Steele is a gentleman from the East, but he came to run a ranch, and he has the strength and determination to do so. He dreams of starting a new life, free of the strictures of his traditional Maryland family, and he is ready and willing to take on whatever barriers are put in his way. The lawless West of the time provides those barriers in plenty.
 
Cassidy Hart, a Texas native, shares that dream of starting her life over in another place, but she, by her own account, is no lady. Daughter of an unwed mother, she takes care of herself the best she can in the same little town where she was born, even though the wide-open sky is the only roof she can call her own. She is tough, because she has to be, but sensitive, because that’s the way her mother raised her before dying young.
 
The gentleman and the not-quite lady are thrown together by circumstance, and the attraction is instantaneous. Still, Cassidy cannot help but doubt the Easterner’s sincerity, and pushes back, even as she is drawn to his strength, charm, and good looks.
 
Thornton, being a man who knows what he wants, wastes no time attempting to prove his love and concern for Cassidy’s well being. Oftentimes, however, to Cassidy’s chagrin, he demonstrates that concern with his strict hand on her bare bottom.
 
That, of course, is not the end of the lesson, and Cassidy soon learns to look forward to the soft caresses and kisses that follow a session over the big man’s lap.
 
Cassidy’s Gentleman is a story of love and fun, intrigue and violence in the scarcely tamed West. It also is a true romance, with plenty of loving domestic discipline in the form of spanking.
 
Publisher’s Note: Cassidy’s Gentleman is a romance novel that contains descriptions of sex and of domestic discipline in the form of bare-bottom spanking and paddling. If such subject matter offends you, please do not read this book. 

Excerpt  (rated PG-13)
  “Cassidy, you are something special and here in this moonlight, I can hardly resist—”
   Thorne reached for her. The feel of his strong arms wrapping around her waist overwhelmed Cassidy. As he drew her body closer to his, she felt the pounding of her heart and the rush of his breath on her face. He leaned down to meet her lips. She wanted to run, but felt frozen in the moment. Delicately his lips touched hers, she quivered, he drew back and their eyes
locked. Cassidy read the hungry passion in his eyes, she felt the tenderness of his touch as he cupped her face with his hands. Gently he drew her face toward his and she felt his lips firmly on hers.
   Thorne deepened his kiss and Cassidy tried to pull away, but he grasped the back of her head, again claiming her with his lips. Cassidy’s inhibitions fled as she was consumed by his kiss. Weaving her fingers through his thick, black hair, she welcomed his lips. Passion sparked through every part of her body. Cassidy experienced sensations she had never known before, tingling, burning shocks like lightning surged urging her on, but to what? Passion muddled thoughts and her feelings frightened her. Breaking away, she lightly touched Thorne’s lips with her tender fingertips.
   “Wait, Thorne, please wait.”
