Paul and Donna are happily married. Maybe their marriage isn't the hot, pulsing sex romp it was when they first said their I dos on the beach so long ago, but it's safe, dependable. Boring. Donna, ever the bookish librarian, spends much of her spare time playing computer puzzle and word games on the internet. Paul's work as a rocket scientist in the military weapons industry requires that his computer remain safe and virus free. State secrets are at stake. That's why his lovely but sometimes naughty wife is forbidden from playing her games on it. Ignoring his instructions once too often, the inevitable happens and she infects his computer with a virus. Realizing the depth of her mistake, she is willing to do almost anything to atone for her sins and accepts that she will receive an old fashioned spanking as punishment. Much to her surprise, despite the pain, she finds the whole ritual exciting, awakening feelings that have lain dormant for years, and arousing her to such a point that she craves more. She confides in her best friend, Peta, and is shocked by Peta's in depth understanding of the benefits of erotic pain and punishment. Peta consults with Paul and then puts into motion a chain of events destined to change forever the tenor of Paul and Donna's lives. This story contains the spanking of adults, elements of bondage, discipline and power exchange. If these activities are not to your taste, you are advised not to buy this book.
I enjoyed this story that actually had me laughing out loud so many times at some of the situations, antics and various scenes. Paul and Donna White are a couple in love, have been happily married for several years, seem to get along very well, but maybe have just hit that ‘rut’ of complacency in their marriage. One event, one mistake, one night of losing it, actually becomes an eye-opening experience. The story is their journey of dominance, submission, and BDSM. I love that it is a learning experience for both Paul and Donna and that he is shown by Madame Renee exactly what it will be like when he dominants Donna.
Paul White is literally a rocket scientist; he helps build top secret, classified missiles and devices used by the government to take out enemy forces. His work must be secured and is often worked on at home in the quiet of his office at his desktop computer. He has a ‘no games’ to be played on his computer rule due to the higher risk of viruses. Donna is a librarian, has a job she enjoys, stress-free, she also enjoys reading and playing games. Sometimes her laptop just doesn’t seem to have what she needs for memory and speed and really, what will it hurt using the home desktop? But it does, corrupting his files, and causing a major security breach that cost time and months of work.
The story involves an average and happily married couple who love each other, get along, but have developed that rut in life, sex only a time or two a week, but nothing out of the ordinary. When Paul comes home after the security breach, he is upset and starts giving orders, and spanks Donna. What starts out as a shock, confusion, also has an unexpected side-effect for them both, a strong sexual desire. Seeking the advice of a friend, Peta, they are introduced to Madame Renee, a professional disciplinarian. She will help take to train, mold, and prepare both Paul and Donna into this new journey of kink, pain to pleasure, sexual discovery. The scenes are well described and easy to visual and are explicit in details.
While this book is well written, I would liked to have had more storyline. The story started out with Donna playing a game on her husband's home computer after being repeatedly told not to use it for fear of a virus causing him problems with his work as a rocket scientist. After his computer gets a virus as he warned her about, Paul decided to spank Donna to get his point across. At this point their sex life takes off and becomes exciting after a few years of being caught in a rut. Paul works with Madame Renee to help him learn how to be dominant with his wife and use what she teaches him to keep their marriage alive and active. However, as the story continues it mostly revolves around sex scenes. Overall I enjoyed reading this book. It had a loving couple that shared a wonderful life but needed to shake things up as so many couples do. The author showed a great sense of humor between the characters and included spankings and explicit sex scenes. I would loved to have had more storyline to keep me involved but overall I believe many readers will enjoy this book. Note: I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
This is quite the wild story, a real hoot for anyone who enjoys a good BDSM book, although the S&M is rather mild: strap, cane, clamps. What I chiefly enjoyed about it was the variety: M/F, F/F with multiple players, and even a little F/M. So, definitely something for everyone. Then there's the story: Donna and Paul, happily married, but bored in the bedroom, gradually discover their domestic discipline and dom/sub relationship. And is it ever hot! I also love the added touch of Paul being a rocket scientist, literally, and the comedy of errors it causes. I don't want to give away too much, but when Helga, the sub to Mistress Renee, enters the story, you'll be racing through the pages to see how things turn out. Right down the line, a truly excellent book. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
This book was totally not what I expected. I found it delved more into extra kink than just spanking & improving a marriage. I definitely was not expecting some of what it contained & while it was well written I found it more confronting than I expected or wanted. If you're into the more kink/bdsm/dom/sub genre this will absolutely be up your alley. For me, it was just a bit much. I gave it 4 stars because the rating shouldn't be dependent upon my personal preferences. Well written & original.
This was a well written book but as stated in previous reviews it was not what I expected nor what I would have chosen. That's not to say it wasn't very erotic and extremely steamy. I just think the summary should be a little more forthcoming. It would probably appeal to people that do enjoy this type of kink.
Fantastic! Did you ever wonder how some couples get started in kink? Well here is a great story about just that. Nicely done, including the husband getting to feel the pain before he inflicts it on her!
