Accepting His Proposal
*Alternate Cover for ASIN:B00QQO392A*
Sometimes love hurts in more ways than one, and Maya Joy Summers would learn this lesson the hard way when fate brought her and Caleb Greyson together for the first time.
With her car out of gas and her cell phone out of juice, Maya’s only concern was avoiding the pouring rain on her way home that night. She should have been more worried about the danger that lie ahead. Pulled into a secluded alley, held against her will, Maya fought her captor with all she had. But would she have any strength left to fight the man who came to her rescue?
Caleb was a powerful man who was determined to change Maya’s life forever, even if it was against her will. Would Maya have the courage to accept a lifestyle completely adverse to anything she'd ever known? Could she endure Caleb's unbearable demands if it meant finally having the family she had always longed for? Would her heart survive accepting his proposal?
This full novel is NOT a sweet romance. This book contains dubious consent, sexual arrangements outside of the main character romance, and explicit scenes in addition to firm spankings given with the intent to discipline, not arouse. It also includes light bondage and other situations that some may find difficult to read. If you are averse to severely dominant men who are in complete control of their women, this book is not for you, and I urge you to please find a book more suited to your taste.

How many times have you read a book and wished that just once the author would actually read the reviews and take on board the criticism well it's happened, it really has Willow S. Brooks has taken note and rewritten this book.
Thank you Willow for listening and responding.
Now I have to be honest I originally read this book back in April 2015 on the recommendation of a friend, she'd loved it and suggested I check it out and I'll be honest I had issues with it but I think firstly I took it way too seriously and secondly it's the first book I've read like this because while I've read books with discipline in them I've never read an actual domestic discipline book.
I don't think I was quite ready for this book when I first read it. It's intense.
So I struggled, a lot and I gave the book 3* which I felt at the time was fair and I left a very honest review.
Most of my problems came down to the fact I just didn't really like Maya, I had other issues as well but she was the main one, its no secret that I struggle with stupid women and Maya ticked all the boxes but now she's back and she's much more relatable than before, she's softer and comes across so much better.
I also wasn't ready for this book it's a different kind of read and while I'd previously read a whole host of bdsm books this was my first domestic discipline book.
The key to enjoying this is to go along for the ride which I didn't do the first time.
Caleb is larger than life and knows exactly what he wants and he always gets what he wants and now his attention is firmly fixed on Maya.
Maya, despite her attitude is totally innocent and she's no idea what she's getting into with Caleb and she soon finds herself in over her head.
If you're considering reading this book take note of the warnings, this is not a sweet little romance and the warnings are there for a reason. If you've previously read this book then try it again it's a much better and sharper read, the editing is spot on and it makes a fabulous little read especially if you're looking for something a little different.
I will warn you that there's cheating in here.
Yes there is.
I've had long discussions with friends over this some feel that since she signed a contract this doesn't class as cheating!
Obviously this is rubbish cheating is cheating but it's makes for an unforgettable read and very lively conversation.

I’ve really struggled to review this book because I just don’t know what to say. I think it is a well done story, with great writing, but it’s not really my cuppa and not typically something I would pick up on my own. I struggle with the billionaire bad-boys and virgin heroins and this story was kinda one of those. Maya is naïve and still a virgin, and Caleb Greyson is a rich self-obsessed man who contracts with women so he can have his way with them and then dump them when the term of the agreement is over. This is basically how this story starts. I did enjoy that Caleb remained Caleb throughout the entire story, and didn’t magically turn a 180 when something happens and become a completely different character. I always find that so unrealistic. Someone may change temporarily because of some incident in their life, but rarely does a person change that significantly and stay that way. Maya was the one that really grew throughout the story. Given that she had so little experience in basically anything, almost every moment was a learning moment for her. I do appreciate that she gets tougher and fiercer as the story goes on, and that she doesn’t just become a weeping willow of a character. I especially loved her last scene with Lexie, at least I think that was her name. That’s what I get for waiting so long to review things. Essentially the Lexie character is a girl that the Greyson family keep around to help them deal with the oh so difficult gigantic penises they apparently all have. She has been trained to take it, so she is used to satiate those needs. It turns out she is quite the brat, and again, I love that last scene with her and Maya because Maya has finally had enough and shows herself to be a woman, not a love-struck naïve little girl.
If I’m being totally honest, the reason why this didn’t get four stars is for one reason. A reason many of you will disagree with and think I’m being overly harsh on, but it seriously is just not my thing and I typically don’t read any books where this is a thing. This is a spoiler for the end of the story so if you don’t want to know, don’t click.
Anyway, I still have A Debt Requited to read by this author and I still plan on reading it. The story line looks a little darker than this one and that always makes me happy. I would definitely recommend this story as I think there are going to be way more readers out there where this story would be right up their ally, than not.

I've been meaning to update this review for a while now. I know the author updated the book, and I reread the story...because how could I resist! I loved it before. Now?... I LOVE it!
That's why this is getting a 5* smooch from me now. The story was moving along with a whole lotta twists in the first version I read, but it wasn't as polished as it is now. And the ending is...more to my satisfaction is how I'd phrase it without giving anything away.
Before it felt like a high-speed train that got me to my end goal (which I was more than happy with), but now it's more like a leisure-train speed that gets me to a sweet spot while also allowing me to enjoy all the sites along the way. I didn't know I was missing that until the brilliantly brained Brooks gave it to me. I love that! It wasn't just a reread...it was a new journey!
What I said about it before...
This was a fun, HOT read! Caleb is over the top and all alpha, not afraid to be who he is...love that! Maya is sweet and funny...oh, and a handful. It's a unique take on DD and I really liked the storyline that developed with the other friends and family. No pressure...but I'd love a prequel on Trevor & Kristin or maybe a next book on Daisy findin' her man *hint hint*
The - I'm not as sweet as Maya...in RL, he would've been handed all 11" in a paperbag & been told what he could do it with it. But for the story, it worked.

Spank and spank some more! This is a great book for lovers of domestic discipline. Caleb was raised believing in the power of "the adjustment room" and all the men in his family have contracts that stipulate the right to pull their women over their knee anytime, anywhere. After saving Maya from an assault, Caleb immediately sees what chaos her life is in and how much she needs his guiding hand. He completely takes over and lures her in, using her need for family and acceptance to his advantage. Once the contract is signed, all bets are off and poor Maya... Her backside is sore, and the sex is punishing, but in the end, his dominance is exactly what she needs. Despite their rocky start, they find common ground and get their HEA. Caleb was a 'do as I say, when I say' kind of man and boy did I love his alpha personality. I'd love to see a sequel with a little back story on the other Greyson men :)

Could have been much better! The story of Caleb (Dominant, rich guy) and Maya (Innocent, virgin) and their attempt of a domestic discipline relationship.
Maya's character was sweet, innocent and a dab of sass. By reading the story, it became lost on me that Maya was African-American...which is a good thing. I was pleased that the story did not really focus on the racial aspect of their relationship. I liked Maya, but also found that she was a total push over when it came to her boundaries. Caleb, Caleb, Caleb...he was the worst book boyfriend ever!! While I absolutely love a very dominant, alpha male, I could not find it in me to get with Team Caleb.
Why Not 5 Stars?
Caleb - hated him! While I just love an-anti-hero, this guy did not make the cut for me. I did not find him sexy, strong, or powerful. I think the author showed too much of his mean side and not enough of his tender side when dealing with Maya. I did not feel that he redeemed himself at all in the book, so it made me sad because I really did not want to see him with Maya. He was just cruel!!!
Storyline was under developed - While I thought the initial idea of the story was interesting, I also felt that it fell apart along the way. The Candice angle was never explained. I thought she was added for some additional angst. The Switzerland connection also did not make much sense. How often did the Grayson men go to Switzerland for relief? Women being raised to take it from the Grayson men? Really? What did they do in the US for relief? This was so far fetched in my book. And...don't even get me started about Caleb's !! This was the most repeated thing in the entire story and I was absolutely sick of reading about IT!!! Yep, the man is gifted...got it!
Rushed ending - Wow! Over the course of a few pages, all is well and forgiven and we get right to the happily ever after. Seriously? It felt like the page quota was met and the book had to be wrapped up quickly with an Epilogue. It just felt rushed and unfinished.

This book has a hefty dose of Domestic discipline, and some smoky moments, just what I like. Some bits I found confusing and some of the language not to my personal taste. The image of bow legs because of such painful episodes, just no..not for me. Also the references to him being so so big. It was like a guy bragging.
I found it hard to see Maya as a hard working, black independent woman who then has to submit, be spanked and accept it. She does fight in some way, but for me not enough. She faught like crazy against her thug of an attacker at the start, who wanted to rape her, yet she accepts spankings and no control as the norm,She acquiesced far too quickly at times. I was hoping for a bit more fight from her. She's had to fight all her life for everything she has. She's a woman, on her own and she's Black, she gas it all against her, and yet she's fine, 24, her own job, house, it all accept a boyfriend, and she's a virgin, then she signs this all away, fir some guy, who happens to help her out on one occasion..why?
I thought she would have internal tearing which may require medical intervention after her first sexual experiance ... it was eluded to, then disappeared. I was hoping then Caleb may have felt some sympathy. Also I felt he just changed so much after finding her expecting, why such a change?, when he seemed so set in his ways. It was a good story, and I did like the fact that the Domestic Discipline was explained to her and she signed up to it. She may not like, or agree, but she had committed herself, maybe for the strangest of reasons, but at least she saw she had agreed
I loved the storyline , I like its about a Black girl for a change with a white family, not that its referred to, or an issue. I liked the sex scenes and the Disapline...I didn't like Calab cheating, but then we're not supposed to. I found myself getting ratty at times with both characters, wanting to knock their heads together....but at least it has a lovely HEA...I was given the book by the author for an honest review, and I did enjoy this and would read more from the author.

Very Real! This book read like a true story with a touch of dark to it.
A young lady named Maya is on her way home from a club with her friends when she runs out of gas. Her cell phone battery dies and she goes looking for a phone to call for help.
Typical? Yes, but not the way it's told. A crazy biker tries to kidnap, rape, and kill her but just in time she's saved by Caleb Greyson who is rich and gets what he wants. Mmm....
Maya is attracted to Caleb but she is also attracted to his family. The decision she made kind of seemed like it was more for his family than him, but it made the story work.
After Caleb tricks Maya into signing his contract her life goes crazy. I had fun living it with her.
Spankings, Spankings, and more Spankings! I loved it. To top it off, Caleb is way to big for her so it took a very long time for her to get used to his size. I kept reading because I kept having to know what happened next.
This book didn't jump right into sex, it built it up for a while then BANG!
This was a different kind of spanking story. Be warned that this book may be a little closer to BDSM than a sweet romance but it was well written, and very good for the price.

Waw... I think it's the worst book I've ever read, I'm used to TSTL h, but this one must be brainless or something, and the H his whole family, oh what a bunch of mad people.... the story in its entirety was unbelievable..... If only zero star existed!

Caleb was such an asshole. He was such a a complete jerk and a-hole during his contract with Maya. The way he treated her and the blatant cheating. Right after one harsh punishment, "Are you all right?" Caleb asked concerned, after noticing the way she held herself away from him as if she didn't want him to notice she was crying. Well Caleb, after locking her up for seven days in complete darkness and with minimal food... Is she alright? Really? Then the situation with his cheating, Wow. After Maya gave in to try to please him, he gives her the cold shoulder treatment and then this. I wondered the same as Maya, what was he doing the whole time to 'help' him in Montana?
Maya's reasoning was pretty sad, It will all be worth it if Caleb would love me.
The scene with Lizzy in the end then the quick escalation from a bad situation to a happily ever after just didn't sit with me. I wished she'd leave him or break the contract. Caleb was just an unfeeling controlling asshole.
And one thing that bugged the hell out of me in this book is the autohor's use of his-self.

If I could rate this book below one star? I would... I do not understand what this girl was thinking! OMFG! Was she insane? How in earth did she put up with him? I have no idea..... As soon as she signed that contract, I would have strangled the guy!! Ahh this book was highly frustrating and hard to read till the very end....
July 20, 2015
Asshole male lead.. So. Much. Cheating. I can handle books with some cheating but this one seemed unnecessary and over the top. Can't believe I made it to the end of this book.

Accepting His Proposal was a diamond in the rough. I saw this book on a Facebook thread and the warning is what intrigued me to buy it. I’m glad I bought it because the plot was perfect. The interaction was perfect. The scenes were interesting and spaced perfectly. The sex was hard to read at times, but drool worthy at other times.
Hell Yes! This was one hell of a read. I mean the hero could care less about apologizing for his actions. How could I not like a storyline with a dominantly strong hero?
1. Was Caleb a Jerk? Yes! But somehow I understood him and why he did all that he did to Maya.
2. Was Maya stupid? Not really because she knew exactly what she was getting herself into.
3. Would I sign the contract? Hell Yes because I was caught up in everything about Caleb and Maya and because I'd like to know what 10 or 11 inches feels like myself.
4. Is this book worth the read? Only if you are a fan of domestic discipline and dark erotica books. I don't consider this book as dark but it has scenes that may be hard for harlequin readers to chew.
Please release the other book you wrote about on your blog. If it’s anything like this one, you have a new fan.

Horrific. One of the worst books I have read, basically condoning abuse in a relationship, some absolutely disgusting scenes. BDSM and alpha heroes can be ok, but that was not what was happening here, there were contracts, physical abuse and just pure emotional torture! This author is definitely one to avoid, the messages she is depicting in her work is horrible. I don’t care that there are warnings about this not being a sweet romance! This is not discipline, it is abuse. Keeping someone locked up in a dark room for a week with no interaction apart from when they are given food, is abuse! Especially do the punishment is because she basically acted out after she caught you screwing someone else!

I came across Accepting his Proposal while looking for a fun, steamy book to curl up in bed with. This book proved to be just that. I am the kind of person that skips through all the romantic parts of books just to get to the good stuff. That was definitely unnecessary with this book. It was jam packed with lots of steamy scenes that got my heart racing on more than one occasion. If you enjoy books about dominating men, light BSDM or bondage this is the book for you. I will definitely be checking out more from this author soon.

Review to be more elaborate when I've had time to wrap my head around how this book made me feel.
For now... I had to create a new shelf for this book called huge man parts. I gladly created that shelf because this book... wowsa, did it deliver in a very, very, very good way.
Thanks WillowB!
I had a lot recommendations for this book by WillowM and finally got around to it and I must say, it's one I'll be coming back to again and again and ah, ahem, bookmarking to read ahem, certain parts.

I dont like reading dark reads for some funny reason. This was hardcore i mean Caleb was a asshat. Gosh,cruel and cold. I didnt like him a lot. I felt for Maya having to deal with him. There was a new kink i have never read and it was so odd. I mean Domestic Disipline..weird..But i liked that it was weird. There were some parts i deemed a bit too cruel to read but i really loved it a lot. Great story and awesome characters. There was so much tension and emotion which i loved.

I almost forgot about this book. Maybe I just blocked it out. Think of really good dark erotica. Now take just about every plot point (make sure they are strung together in a way that makes very little sense), add in a bland virgin, a man (and his entire family) who is into domination/domestic servitude because... reasons? and lots of errors. I gave it the extra star because it's was clear the author was trying but not a single thing in this book worked.

only read if one has read BDSM dark erotica romances.

DNF .. The girl is too stupid and I don't like the hero. I wish a ninja would try me like he's trying this chick. This book is too f'd up for my tastes.

***POSSIBLE SPOILERS***
***3.5 stars***
Let me start off by saying this is for the reader interested in and/or fascinated by domestic discipline (DD) relationships. Accepting His Proposal was my introduction to a family that practices this lifestyle. At first I thought this was a D/s relationship but changed my mind. All the D/s books I’ve read ultimately paint the sub as being the one with all the power as sub communication and comfort is a must. Accepting His Proposal showed heavy dominance without compromise. The (h) Maya's request are always met with opposition:
To be honest this was not a favorite read. Parts confused me and many times I thought about stopping the read however for some reason I couldn’t put it down. I kept reading every disturbing page wanting to know how much more Caleb was going to ditch out and how much more Maya was going to endear.
Accepting His Proposal was an intense look at DD relationships that I'm on the fence about. I personally would not have accepted his proposal but I did upgrade the rating because something kept me reading this story. If domestic discipline (DD) interest you then pick up a copy of Accepting His Proposal by Willow Brooks.

The (h) Maya's request are always met with opposition:
Maya beamed because he allowed her to say no. He was the one in control of their relationship, but he allowed her to say no this once, and he accepted it.
She thought that because of that contract, she didn’t have a choice in giving him her virginity. She was right on that point. If she hadn’t given him her virginity, he would have taken it.
…I don’t know what gave you the idea you were the one in control, but you’re not, and you don’t dictate to me what you will or will not do…Accepting His Proposal is not only filled with firm spankings but characters that add layers to the DD lifestyle and to main characters Maya and Caleb lives. Some secondary characters hold dubious positions which add to the suspense and intrigue of the read.

This was a good book. I loved all the characters in this story. the author did a great job bringing them to life especially Kristin who was my favorite.
Sometimes I loved the (H), and at other times I wanted to kick him! He made me feel sorry for the (h) several times. He was very possessive, sometimes cruel, and extra hard on the (h). I know we were warned, but I was emotionally hurting for the (h). The ending made me love him though, and I loved that one of the other girls got what was coming to her, or I would have had to give this book only four stars. I love Alfa Men!
I also love that all the spankings were real. Most books I read in this genre have spankings that only lead to sex. This story was about real discipline but the sex scenes was Hott! except for her first time. I think I cried with and for the (h).
I wonder if this is this authors first book because I can't seem to find anything else by her.

This is an intense, sexy story! I'm not very familiar with domestic discipline relationships so I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but Caleb and Maya's story really drew me in. There's plenty of suspense and a lot of spanking going on, and Willow Brooks is bold in describing all the intimate, juicy details. It's very different from the BDSM and D/s erotica I've read before so once I started reading I couldn't stop.
I thought it was extremely well written and the characters were admirably developed. It's certainly not a sweet, candy and roses romance, but I think that's what makes it so hot. Maya is completely under Caleb's control and must yield to his every demand. Fans of domestic discipline will find this a compelling, very erotic read.

This erotica novel had a very intriguing premise that I’ve never encountered before. I was unsure whether or not I would enjoy the explicit components of the story, but it ended up being a very exciting read. I really love that this is a full length novel. It gave the author room to add depth to the characters. That, in turn, made for very realistic interactions that brought the story to life. As a woman, I felt like I was on Maya’s journey with her—helping her make the difficult decision that Caleb laid out on the table for her. Very vivid, very good.

Totally Unacceptable!!!
This book was not for me! Caleb was a horrible person who remained so throughout the book. He is every parent's nightmare for their daughter! Maya would have been better off if she had been raped and murdered by the man Caleb saved her from. He all but raped her himself throughout the story, beat her and locked her in a basement after she caught him having sex with the maid. I could go on and on. He had no redeeming qualities, Maya was crazy to stay with him. No more Willow Brooks novels for me!

Thank you, Willow S. Brooks for an enjoyable read. Caleb and Maya pulled me into their story and I enjoyed the ride.
I enjoyed most when during the story "Kristin clapped her hands yelling, “Bravo, Maya, that’s how you stand up for yourself when you’re in the right . Who cares that you have to take a spanking for it?”"

Yeah, I liked it
I found this book by accident. I typically read extremely dark romance and while it wasn't over the top (for me) DD is definitely not for the faint of heart. If you like the genre though grab this!!

Worst book EVER. Grammar is botched beyond all reason. Abuse trope. Just...no.
