This anthology includes four short stories - all including a good spanking! You get what you pay for in this respect, but for me this is not a bad thing...
I really enjoyed Richard Savage's erotic tale of domestic discipline. I believed in the dynamic between the married characters, and as the plot developed, understood and enjoyed the arousal and catharsis they experienced. A truly satisfying erotic short!
The final Cara Bristol short is also excellent; involving a very hot m-m-f menage. The characters are well developed and likeable, but the sex is still scorching and ticks all of the boxes... I took this collection on holiday for some pool-side reading, and it was worth every penny!

Will a spanking bring down a few of both of their walls and what if Jack's friend, Matt, also wants to play?
Overall, I found the anthology to be an interesting read with "Trusting Her" my favorite due to the twist on the theme. While I wouldn't say that this type of theme is a favorite of mine and I am not sure I would care to revisit it, the vignettes shown in the anthology are well presented and well written.
I thought the first story, In the Driving Seat was very mellow and a good start to introduce you to spanking stories. Barbara a spoiled brat and Alan who didn't know what to do with her. I kept waiting for him to take it to the next level but he never did it for me. The second story, Intimate Submission was very steamy and erotic. Jamie was lucky to have found Reese and a playmate/partner. I can not imagine what it would feel like to be able to totally let yourself go with someone. This story made me realize how much I miss being with someone, it has been way too long. The third story, Trusting Her brought a smile to my face. Big bad Sam asking Katie, his wife for help. Katie had to dig down deep within herself to be able to help Sam with his odd request. I never really thought of this but I like the idea of Sam submitting to Katie. Makes me want to get a paddle. The last story, Secret Desires- wow. I have also fantasized about two men at the same time. What a great present Morgan gets from Jack and Matt. This story was hot, sexy, erotic and just wet my panties. Wow.
