Hunter's Ridge #4
Blessed Beginnings
In the fourth book of the bestselling Hunter's Ridge series, we return to visit the people who have come together for the holidays. Lucy and Louisa continue to blossom under the stern but loving guidance of Lucas and Edward, every day being another step along the paths they have chosen.
But they are not the only ones making choices. Will Franny be able to set her fears of courtship aside and give Samuel Benedict a chance to win her heart? Or will that one impulsive, naughty decision she made ruin her chance of finding true love?
Meanwhile, not one but three men are vying to capture the heart of the vivacious youngest Lady Huntington. Ettie discovers that courtship is thrilling, yet she also learns that there is more than simply love to consider. She knows she needs to feel adored, but can any one of the three make her feel truly cherished?
What path do these two young women wish to take and who will take the journey at their sides? As shopping is done and gifts made by loving hands, the house is full of secrets. Will Lucy decide to share what she has learned? And what exactly is the secret that Louisa is holding close?
Days are filled with skating, sleigh rides and racing across the snow covered fields. Courting abounds, and preparations are made to attend the Grand Ball. Will love and trust be enough to hold the family together when a night of enchantment turns into a nightmare, threatening to tear the family apart?

About the author
Maggie Ryan
112 books406 followersI have been writing stories as long as I can remember. I am an author with Blushing Books. I enjoy writing both contemporary erotica as well as historical books set in ages past. I love developing characters that are able to tell their own stories. My heroines are multi-faceted women who are strong, intelligent and capable in their own right but find a deep need to share their lives with those strong, sexy and dominant alpha males that capture their hearts. My heros recognize the gift of submission for the gift it is, loving and protecting the women that offer that gift. I enjoy sweet, romantic stories with just a taste of domestic discipline as well as one that explore the harsher D/S lifestyle. I also enjoy writing age-play stories set both in Victorian era where women didn't have a great deal of power in their lives as well as in today's present time where women still find their happiness is greatly enhanced in offering the gift of submission. My hope is that you settle back in your favorite chair and allow my books to entertain you and let you escape into another world.

HOLIDAY MEMORIES, FUTURE HAPPINESS
I love this series and the interaction and deep connection between Lucy and Louisa, how they also have a deep connection with Emmie. Now they are together for Christmas at Hunter’s Ridge and the courtships begin for Ettie and Franny. Many decisions will have to be made about what path and lifestyle they want in their future. Not only do Lucy and Louisa get in trouble together, but Ettie too. A situation has Franny in turmoil and making a confession teaches her that Samuel truly loves her and is the perfect partner. This Victoria age-play takes the reader on a journey with strong dominant Papa/husbands who love and protect their child/brides. The story is full of age-play, spankings, punishments, with explicit sex scenes and anal play. Each story will read as a standalone, but I recommend they are read in order. I look forward to more in this series.

The 4th book in the Hunter's Ridge series is every bit as fantastic as all the others. This story is so heart warming and full of love and Christmas spirit, that it made me feel wonderful as I read it. I can't find the words to adequately express how well the characters are developed and how well the book is written. All I can say is that I was completely drawn into the story as though I was there. I can't wait to read more about Ettie and the other beloved characters in the next book. Maggie Ryan is a talented author and has a special gift for writing in the child bride genre. For any fan of child bride domestic discipline romance, all the books in The Women of Wintercrest, Hunter's Ridge, and Miss Summer's School series are a must read.

This book is the fourth in this series and it does not disappoint! The author weaves a wonderful Christmas story for the characters previously introduced in the series. In addition, the author entertains the reader with the love stories of Ettie and Franny. This book leaves you feeling upbeat at this time of year and offers a glimpse into the mindsets of women that live an age play lifestyle. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has enjoyed the previous books in this series but would suggest that you read the previous three books in the series before reading this one.

It was a delight to read this book and see Louisa & Edward, Lucy & Lucas are so happy with their child/bride. The twins really embraced the life style and are not ashamed of feeling happy even if they are different. Seeing wild Etiie and the quite Franny founding happiness was very sweet. And I love to see Emmie and Stefan again. I just feel like the family is growing and growing and could not wait for anything Maggie Ryan can deliver us. I recommend this book/series to everybody that loves a well written story with lots of age play and hot sex between a Papa and their little.

I love the Hunters Ridge series and this book did not disappoint. I enjoyed the continuing story of Lucas and Lucy, Edward and Louisa. This book was also great because Lucas’ sisters were featured quite a bit as well. Watching the family celebrate Christmas together was very heartwarming. The story was very descriptive with wonderful plot and character development. It was at times sweet and funny but also had drama and danger. There was plenty of discipline dispensed with love and steamy scenes as well. If you enjoy age play I would highly recommend this book.

Perfect addition
Book four of the Hunter's Ridge series and it was perfect! This book brings updates on the entire family and what a joy it is to visit with them all again! I adored everything about it. If you haven't read this series, why not? You just don't know what you are missing, seriously! Here's hoping for book five!

Another grand reunion with beloved old friends and wonderful new ones. This book gives an update on Franny and Ettie. There is a lot of love, friendship, fun and mischief, lots of spanking and loving with some suspense. This is a marvelous series and hope there is more, hint, hint!

It was so much fun to be back to Hunter's Ridge and to see how the rest of the Christmas season plays out for the whole family. We see the love grow and expand between all the couples both established and new. And there are so many neat surprises as the family continues to grow and expand.

Great
This story was worth the money. After reading the others in this series I was so excited to read this. Really good age play. I love Lucille and Louisa and the papas that guide them. I want more.

A really sadistic little story about twin sisters and the men they married who don't believe in sparing the rod or spoiling their wives. Somehow love prevails in the end. You need a cushion to sit on while you read this.
