His Wayward Woman

Rate this book
Jace Whitaker has always had a special place in his heart for Lily Mae Slater, and when he left for college it pained him to hear about her running wild in his absence. Upon returning to their small Texas town for Lily’s high school graduation only to have her show up at his door drunk, angry, and looking for a fight, Jace’s patience ran out, and before either of them knew it she was over his knee with her bottom bared for the good, hard spanking she so desperately needed.

Seeing the embarrassing chastisement as proof that she could never be anything more than just a silly little girl to Jace, eighteen-year-old Lily bought a bus ticket for California the next morning. She did her best to forget the only man who ever cared enough to take her in hand, but seven years later the fact that Jace never came looking for her still hurts.

After the passing of her mother brings her back home for the first time since the day she boarded that bus and tried to leave Jace in her past, Lily’s pain and anger boil over at last. When she arrives at the ranch Jace now owns and operates, planning to tell him exactly what she thinks of him, history repeats itself and she quickly finds herself with a bright red, well-spanked bottom.

Now that Lily is back in his life after all these years, Jace isn’t going to let her run off again. This time he is going to show her exactly how he feels about her, and she is going to learn what it means to be taken long, hard, and thoroughly by a dominant man. But living on her own in the city for so many years has left Lily with more sass than sense. Can the firm-handed rancher keep her both in line and in his life, or will he blow this second chance to tame his wayward woman?

Publisher’s His Wayward Woman is an erotic romance novel that includes spankings and sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

About the author

Ava Sinclair

161 books505 followers
Ava Sinclair is a best-selling Amazon romance author who caters to readers who appreciate a plot driven book where the steamy sex complements the story, rather than overshadowing it.

A hopeless bibliophile, Ava avidly reads across multiple genres, and this is reflected in her varied body of work that spans contemporary, medieval fantasy, western, historical, time travel and sci-fi. She especially enjoys world-building and crafting interesting and relatable characters.

Because her books feature graphic sex and elements of power exchange, she gently cautions her readers to take her work for what it is – delightful, sexy escapism.

Ava lives in southern Virginia in a farmhouse tucked away on a wooded hilltop. The first thing she did after moving in was to rip out the dining room and turn it into a library/office. This is where she spends most of her days, writing and being ignored by her cats. When she’s not working, she enjoys roaming the woods around her house, or seeking the advice of Lucius, her Eagle Owl.

Started out as a cute second chance romance but I just could not warm up to h. She was thoroughly unlikable and I didn't feel the connection between mc's. It actually felt like she was using him for his money to make her life easier. Normally I love when the H is super besotted and obsessed with the h, but I actually felt bad for Jace and wish he ended up with someone different who appreciated him.

Lily Mae Slater was lost when her best friend Jack Whitaker went to college. He had been like a big brother to her, but she was in love with him and wanted to be treated like an adult. On the night of her high school graduation, she showed up at his door .... drunk. Jace decided it was time to take her in hand...spanking her, then taking her virginity. By morning she was gone. She caught a bus to Los Angeles, expecting Jace to follow her, if he loved her. He took it as rejection from his true love, and remained at the ranch.

Seven years later, Lily Mae returns to the small Texas town for her mother's funeral. She didn't invite Jace to the private service, but he watched from the diner across the street. Lily Mae looked like a successful sophisticated lady. That night, Lily Mae once again headed to the ranch drunk, but in a pouring rain. She wrecked her SUV into his truck. Jace took her inside, determined to never let her out of his sight again.

Jace with a degree in finance and a millionaire in his on right, took care of Lily Mae's financial disaster. BUT she keep one secret. One that could be a deal breaker in their relationship.

Hot romance with spanking and healing past wounds.

WOW!! This was a fantastic love story that had an awesome plot filled with mystery, suspense, danger, romance and well deserved spankings. The young woman ran away after a night with the love of her life, returning 7 years later where the relationship picks up where it left off. Not being truthful put a wedge between them and put both in extreme danger. Will they be able to continue the relationship? Buy the book to find out. I enjoyed this book immensely.

This is such a sweet and spicy romance and it just drags you in from the very first page. Jace and Lily belong together but through some twists, turns and misunderstandings it takes them a bit to figure it out. When they do, though, the sparks start to fly! Great love story! I received this book from Stormy Night Publications as an Advanced Reader Copy.
