Late Blooming Lily
Forty-three and divorced, Lily Amis has put all her time and energy into building her business as a graphic designer. When her elderly aunt dies, leaving Lily responsible for cleaning out and selling her rural Montana home, it's just a hitch in Lily's well-organized life. She'll be out of Montana in two months. Tops.
That's what she thinks, anyway, until she meets Rob—the rancher next door. Rob tempts Lily on every level. His casual authority reawakens long buried dreams and desires, and when she discovers he finds the girlish submission in her heart every bit as exciting as she does, the banked fires of her sexuality reawaken to a roaring heat. Although she revels in the strict care and loving tenderness that he offers her, waking up to life forces Lily to face everything she's left behind. When a fit of artistic inspiration causes Lily to defy both Rob and the orders of her new physician, kind but strict Dr. Mitford, Lily has quite a reckoning to face. Can Rob and Lily's new love survive the pain that she has suppressed for so long?

Late Blooming Lily is a fantastic romance featuring mature characters that are easy to relate to, with several scenes of steamy discipline and explicit sex! What's not to love? Lily knows what she wants and asks Rob to take the role of dominant in both a respectable and passionate plot that includes spanking, a woodshed, and a few other great surprises. Bryony Kildare's debut novel is a worthwhile romantic erotica that every romance reader will love. If you're over eighteen, pick up a copy.
The writing was smooth and easy to quickly fall right into the story. There was plenty of plot and romance, nicely woven together. Bryony created a masterpiece for her first novel and I can't wait to pick up her next release.

Abuse is not discipline
Spoiler Alert:
I was really glad to find this book, for once about a mature couple. It started off okay, but the second time they meet, she's just all liver the place mentally and emotionally. Then they enter into what amounts to a Domestic Discipline relationship when they barely know one another, in which neither are experienced. He proceeds to give her an initial spanking so she "knows her place" which leaves bruises bad enough that the doctor who sees them suspects abuse. The same doctor who orders her to strip, with no gown for modesty or third person present, for a cursory check up, then later "punishes" her for overworking and giving her self a migraine by giving her an enema and beating her with a leather strap on the back of her thighs badly enough to leave welts all the way down to the back of her knees. Meanwhile, the so-called "hero", rather than teaching, training, and disciplining her, punishes her severely for every infraction. She is subjected to ice cold water and then beaten with a paddle, not for don't anything wild, or deceitful, or dangerous, but for coming without permission during frenetic sex. It even states in one sentence that she wasn't really hurt, and in the next that she had bruises and raw spots. He punishes in anger, not disciplines with love. This is an emotionally and physically abusive relationship, not the mature couple engaging in DD that I was expecting.

SAFE, OWNED, HIS. NO CHOICES, NO WORRIES
I savored this story, it wasn't some 18-20ish girl, Lily Amis is a 43-year-old divorced woman who basically gave up her dreams, put her life on hold for her ex-husband and feels left behind, at times even lost. Coming from Seattle to Montana to settle up the estate of an estranged aunt will mean months of work. Meeting ranching neighbor, Rob awakens buried feelings and girlish desires. Rob takes the role of dominant HoH with Lily, laying out rules, assigning duties, limiting work, and also helps awaken the hidden little girl that needs to be nurtured. The plot kept me captivated, with charming characters. The dialogue was heartwarming, the spankings and discipline were handed out as promised and the loving was erotic.

I enjoyed this book and it's written well. Lily thinks she has her life pretty well planned out on her terms until she meets Rob. Their journey has some ups and downs but it was a fun ride. Nicely done!
