“Yes, Sir.” Two simple words changed my life. One night. Complete surrender. Total submission. That was supposed to be it, but there’s one complication, I’m pregnant, and he has no idea. Jayce She was like a bird with a broken wing… something small and delicate that wandered into my club, completely out of place and completely beautiful. One look and I knew I had to have her. I wanted to make her mine, to protect her, to claim her. All these years and I have never taken a submissive, but that’s about to change. I’ll teach her how sweet surrender can taste, and I’ll show her how a real man treats a woman. She’ll learn that she’ll never feel as free or alive as when she’s cuffed and bound, completely at my mercy. Mylie I’d sworn off dominant men, locked away my need for submission. I’d given my trust to one too many men who abused it, and all I wanted was to move on. To heal. But one look at Jayce and I knew I’d never met a true dominant before. He radiated power and command. He carried the promise of something better--something real. For just one night, I gave him what I thought I’d never give my submission. I let him take me and dominate me. I let him shatter my world with the heat of his body and the brush of his lips on my ear as he whispered the words that were my undoing. “You’re mine, princess.” But he bound me in more ways than one that night. I’m pregnant, and he has no idea. *As always, this is a totally SAFE, full length standalone book with a happily ever after, no cheating, and plenty of steam.*
USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and Amazon Charts Bestselling author Penelope Bloom is taking her first flight into romantasy—and yes, there are dragons. After years of contemporary romance, she's temporarily trading meet-cutes for magical academies and coffee shops for castles that reek of blood. She promises the banter is just as sharp, but now it comes with deadly consequences.
Fun fact: “Penelope Bloom” started as a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the family dog, Penelope—never meant to be anything serious. But then the books took off, and the name stuck. Behind the scenes, Penelope Bloom is actually a husband-and-wife team. He handles the writing; she edits, helps with brainstorming, and runs the reader-facing side of things (like social media and messages). So if you’ve chatted with “Penelope” online, you’ve likely been talking to her—with the author chiming in whenever needed. Together, they’ve built the voice readers know and love.
Adorei. E assim termina a trilogia Knocked up... Ficou um gostinho de "queria mais..." 🤭
Apesar de não estar classificado como série:
- Livro 1: Knocked Up by the Dom - Livro 2: Knocked Up by the Master - Livro 3: Knocked Up and Punished
Neste volta a aparecer Leo e Lysa e a sua mãe "sádica", visto que Jayce é o irmão mais novo de Leo (também apareceu no segundo). O primeiro não tem ligação com estes dois.
KNOCKED UP AND PUNISHED is a full-length BDSM romance about a club owner who falls in love at first sight with his vulnerable barista. Miley approached Jayce for the first time to have an abusive ex-boyfriend thrown out of the club. But instead, she found himself bound to a more intimidating man who unleashed what a true Dom is supposed to be.
She may have been broken before they met but Jayce was a powerful Dom who protected Miley and she found her inner strength through him. Jayce also learned to conquer his internal struggle about the love of his life getting knocked up. He became an adorably doting Dad. This book was fantastic, exciting and empowering! Loved it!
I have read an advanced copy of this book and this is a fair and honest review and recommendation voluntarily shared.
I forced my way through this hoping it would get better. It never did. 2 hours is all you need to read this book. I don't know how I feel about jayce and miley. Miley seems broke but never works. Jayce is rich but you never find out what he actually does. And miley doesn't care what he does. Her ex cade is always trying to beat her up and I'm supposed to believe that one arrest keeps him away for good? Not with that level of crazy. Three days and they are madly in love with each other. 3 weeks they are basically engagaed. This whole book happens in practically a month but for two weeks while she is camping with her brother there is nothing. This book had a lot of potential. The characters had alot of potential. It just fell flat and was too short. Read on my kindle and at 25% it was over with. With two epilogues.
Enjoyable story. Miley just left her abusive Dom Cade and refusing too get sucked in to another relationship. Miley never meet her boss Jayce before, but that’s about too chance because once Jayce sees her he is never letting her go. Jayce will protect and take care of her but will her secret keep them apart? Good story and enjoyable characters that will have you reading non stop.
I voluntarily reviewed this Advanced Reader Copy of this book
Miley has a bad habit of picking the wrong guy's. She works in a BDSM club and her eks has just beating her up. Her boss Jayce is a handsome dom and when he sees Miley he knows she is the one. But Miley is scared afraid to get her heart broken once agin. I really loved this book. It was so hot. It was very emotional and I couldn't put it down. So sweet and romantic.
I was expecting another fantastic read by Penelope Bloom and that's exacting what she gave in Knocked Up and Punished. Ms. Bloom has written a fantastic story with drama, secrets, heartbreak, some twists, danger, passion, love, and plenty of HOT BDSM scenes.
I volunteered to review an advance reader copy of this book.
Penelope Bloom has completely enthralled me with her little novel of BDSM erotica. Hot and bothered doesn't even describe this sexy number. Knocked Up & Punished was entertaining, sexy and enjoyable!
Miley always chooses the bad boys. The boys that are no good, emotionally and physically abusive. She can't catch a break. Working at a BDSM club should allude to some decent men, but her latest Dom left her as a punching bag. As her next shift rolls around, she's on a mission to find the boss to band her ex-Kyle, but she runs into a wall of a man who is dark and mysterious and sends chills to places she longs for.
"I'm so desperate to be loved and needed that I cling to the first sign of attention any guy gives men, and apparently I attract jerks like flies on shit."
Jayce Carlyle realizes he has a "..little bird with a broken wing" in his hands, within his club, and when she literally falls into him he won't let her go. He takes one look at her and fumes to see that trust for her is hard to come by. He is on a mission to show Miley how a Dom should treat their submissives. Will one night of passion, erotic lust be enough for Miley or will both of their lives change dramatically?
Sexy, short and sweet novel that was fun to divulge in. I only wish it was longer. The BDSM elements were entertaining, no doubt and I was completely infatuated from the beginning of this book until the end. I liked how Penelope implemented drama and the insta-love within the D/s storyline. Just like how the title announces, it's about being knocked up by the Dom, however, it's much more than that in impactful novel. Don't miss out on this steamy read!
Preferred the others, but decent end to the series
Miley and Jayce were definitely less wooden than some of the other characters in some scenes in the previous novels, but this one was definitely heavier for me. Miley has been a victim of psychological and some physical abuse for most of her life and has just ended things with her super abusive ex. Her internal struggle and unfortunate freezes are well rendered and show a different side to victims of DV. Jayce also did a decent job explaining to her and us how she might gain courage through the freedom of submission. Not having explored, I cannot say whether that would or would not work for folks, but ultimately it was just too quick. Even though this is a short novel, I really wish authors wouldn't rush the timeline so much. Her ability to enjoy even light BDSM with a stranger a mere evening after suffering a brutal attack from her ex is hard to believe. The story continues in this vein. It was fine, but ultimately hard to read. It might do for those of you who aren't looking for a more simple story to escape, but that wasn't exactly what I was hoping for this evening. I will say that aside from her getting over her lifetime of trauma lickity split, the BDSM scenes were well portrayed in that consent and the ability to make anything stop immediately, was always very present in the characters minds. I do appreciate that from this author. Sex o meter 8.4/10.
**Received an ARC for which I voluntarily provided an honest review.**
“Well, I hate to disappoint you,” I say sourly. “But I apparently have terrible taste in men. And I’m starting to like you. So chances are you’re an asshole.”
Oh my goodness!!! This book is the perfect combination of hot steamy BDSM sex scenes and cute moments between a really hot guy and a submissive girl with a history of bad/abusive boyfriends.
There is th perfect amount of drama mixed with these scenes that will make me NEVER look at a jar of chocolate the same way again.
Right off the bat we get this intense scene at the BDSM club where Miley works and it totally sets the tone for the entire book. 12% in and Im already hooked and keeping the lamp on past sane hours to read more.
I liked the little moments with Leo and Lysa again from the pervious book (Knocked Up by the Master). It was cute to see them again and have their families share some moments to lighten the book.
All in all ? I really enjoyed this book. Its not to long but its a perfect little story. Took me just one day to read it so its perfect for a nice break and something new to read.
This is the FIRST 'Knocked Up' book I've ever given a 5 star rating to so you KNOW its great.
Wow once again with the story of Jayce, Leo’s brother from Knocked Up By The Master, where we met him and now Jayce finds the “one” he has been looking for, a submissive, Mylie, who has been abused by other Dom’s in the past. Jayce who is immediately taken by her from first glimpse, his broken bird. Mylie picks the wrong men all the time, ones who abuse her and she lets them, thinking if they abuse her and she cowers, they’ll leave her alone. But her last Dom, Cade, doesn’t give up and until she finally stops cowering she’ll never be free. But will Jayce be the one, he’s perfect in every way except for her dream of the future, she wants kids...he doesn’t. An amazing read with steamy sensual hot scenes that made me shiver but also a great story between Jayce and Mylie. These two were perfect for each other and they both had to learn to let go of the past to be able to be together in the present and have a future. Jayce was an intense Dom but also a compassionate kind man outside of play time and the author did an amazing job of not focusing on his conquests or women and not labelling him as a man wh***...refreshing. Mylie was a strong woman and I loved reading how she comes out of her shell, sticking up for herself and finally getting closure where her ex was concerned. *I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book*
Well, I think it was fantabulaous! Ms.Bloom has been writing a series of BDSM books; this is one is on the lighter side of the spectrum but still gives aspects of the lifestyle.
Again, no time wasted on pleasantries; the first few pages are a steamy opener! Nothing like having an attention grabber ( not that I am complaining )
Jayce owns a BDSM Club, he is the brother of Leo, from the previous book- when Miley stalks back to his office ready to give him an earful about one of his clients he knows right away that she is more than just an employee. She is the submissive he has been looking for, even if she does not know it yet. The emotional whirlwind lovefest journey these two embark on is one you will not want to miss!
So much love for this book! This book is heart squeeze romance central wrapped up in a hot BDSM scenes and some remarkable growth between them. A one sitting read for me, Penelope Bloom continues to blow me over with her yummy romances! I read an advanced copy of Knocked up and Punished, and views expressed are my own and voluntary.
Jayce owned a BDSM club where Miley worked along with her brother. Miley was dated Cade but then he started to hit her and she had to get rid of him. Miley goes running to the club to her brother and while she is their she runs in Jayce.
Jayce see how beaten up she is he drains her in and calls her his little broken bird. Jayce knows that she is his new submissive even though Miley has no idea. Jayce pursues Miley and things progress slowly but very hot. Then Cade comes back into the picture and Jayce grabs him and tells him to stay away from Jayce.
Also, the first night that they had been together he forgot to put on a condom. Ever since they used condoms but it was already to late. Miley comes to find out that she is pregnant and really doesn't know how to tell Jayce.
Jayce told her before she found out she was pregnant that he didn't want kids but never gave her the reason. Miley had bad relationships she wanted a Dom but the ones she found where not the One. Now she is with Jayce and she now knows that he is the one for her. Miley is scared to see how Jayce will take her little surprise.
Twists and turns makes this a very hot light BDSM book.
This is a perfect story with some hot BDSM sex scenes and true loving moments between Jayce and Mylie. Jayce owns a BDSM club and Mylie works in the bar section of the club. Yes, Jayce is a dominant that owns the club and Mylie is a natural submissive. Mylie is coming out of a bad relationship where her ex Cade has beaten her and when she goes to tell the owner about him to have him band she makes contact with Jayce who takes control from that moment forward. I loved how Jayce saw Mylie as a bird with broken wings and all he wanted to do was to rebuild her into his perfect submissive. Mylie’s brother, Kyle has been her protector since they were kids and he tries to do right by her but at times over steps his bounds. It was nice to read about Leo and Lysa from Knocked Up by the Master. Boys will be boys even at their ages. Can Mylie ever get beyond the past and her bad relationships and move forward with Jayce? Will Jayce have enough patience with Mylie to bring them together? I loved these characters and their stories! I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
Miley makes terrible choices in men which include her latest ex, Cade. Miley wants to go to her boss and have Cade throw out of BDSM club she works at. Little did Miley know her whole world is about to change in ways she doesn't expect. Jayce Carlyle didn't expect to find a broken bird in Miley or his reaction to her. Jayce wants to protect and care for Miley. Miley is filled with doubts based on her past experiences. Can Jayce convince Miley to be his? Will Miley trust Jayce?
This whole series has been an exceptional surprise to read. The characters and story are rich, bold, compelling, raw, real, mysterious, and heartfelt. I also found that this book resonated with me at my core. I love when books do that!
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book Oh what a fantastic story. Getting away from an abusive ex Cade is a good thing right!!! Well hopefully as it is Cade he is unpredictable. Asking for her brother Kyles help in getting Cade banned from her workplace leaves only one solution. Speak to his boss Jayce. Now the fun begins. Jayce is a man of power, appeal, charisma and what he wants is Miley. She drives him mad he so wants her. So much so, having unprotected sex is not a good thing so now poor Miley has more problems to deal with. Crazy ex, unplanned baby and a man so sexy she can’t think straight. A brilliant story, loved it
Knocked Up and Punished: A BDSM Secret Baby Romance by Penelope Bloom is a wonderful read. It is a very entertaining book that also engages your emotions. A well written, beautiful romance about a woman that has given her heart before only to have it broken and a man that has never before even thought of giving his. Touching, emotional and heartfelt, I loved Mylie and Jayce's story. I felt they were perfect for each other and had great chemistry. If you enjoy steamy, emotional romances that feature BDSM grab this book. It was a pleasure to read and I highly recommend it. I am posting an honest review after reading an ARC copy of this book.
Enjoyed this latest book. Received it as ARC for honest review. Enjoyed this story line because it deviates from the norm. Main characters are likable and fun. Typical plot where the hero saves the heroine, but how they get to the HEA is different. She is a combination of strong and weak. He helps her to discover her ability to fight back and succeed. She opens him up to the really amazing guy he is. BDHM Club with just the right amount of play. Gave it 5 stars because better than 4. Always enjoy this author.
Jayce and Milie meet at his BDSM club, she's supposed to be working.....
After just one scene, Milie discovers she's pregnant.....Jayce doesn't want children....so there are problems ahead.
Add in her violent ex "Dom" and her overprotective brother and it's obvious the path to a chance of a HEA is going to be rocky.
The story is well paced, the characters are detailed enough to be convincing, and the underlying themes about facing your fears, and strength through submission all add up to a great, if quick, read.
Jayce sees Miley and knows she is broken and he knows he can help her. Miley doesn't trust anyone anymore after her last abusive dom destroyed her. She is still battered and bruised trying to recover. When she runs into Jayce at her job she knows he is dangerous. What she never could of expected is he is the perfect danger to help her broken heart and body find freedom and happiness from all the hurt she has. You will not be able to stop reading until you know what happens with this dynamic couple. Their push and pull will have you hoping they find happiness.
Mylie works in a BDSM club and when she meets Jayce there is an instant intense connection between them. These two are perfect for each other, but will their pasts come back to haunt them? No spoilers; this is a must read, you will not be disappointed! This talented author has once again written a wonderful story which is sweet, emotional, hot, and romantic. I highly recommend this authors’ work for all readers. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book!
Miley has been hurt and Jayce sees her pain and wants to help her. He has been looking for someone special and Miley is just that person, but he need to persuade her of that. Her submission to Jayce show him that she can be his, but he too has a fear and when it comes to pass, Miley is afraid of what might happen. But love will be the winner and the Dom and his sub get to have their HEA in the end. Steamy and passionate and hot as anything.
While the basis for the story is the BDSM lifestyle, the focus is Jayce finding his submissive in wounded birdie Miley. Their budding relationship brings their insecurities and past into play, but through their new found love they will discover their strengths, capacity for healing and ability to stand up for themselves. This is an easy flowing read that romance readers will enjoy.
“I Voluntarily Received and Reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book”
Penelope Blooms torments me with her romances, they are truly addicting reads!! The author's latest book, Knocked Up and Punished, was hot, steamy and more than I anticipated from reading the synopsis. Wowsers, there are some seriously smoking hot interludes occurring within the pages of this story! Jayce and Miley are an unlikely combination, but they fit together in just the right ways. This story is nothing short of what I expect from this author and it a great read.
I really liked this steamy, drama filled read. Miley works at a BDSM club and her ex, Cade physically abused her. She plans to talk to the owner to make sure he is unable to return to the club, when she meets the owner Jayce the attraction is hot and instant, he knows that this broken sub is his. Now he just needs to convince her of that. Plenty of drama a very entertaining story and I loved the intensity between Jayce and Miley. A very good read!
Jace owns a BSDM Club and Milely worked the bar there. When she had enough of her Ex-boyfriend Cade she went to Kace to make sure he was. It allowed to come into the club again. Miley is trying to overcome her past and try to make better decisions. When Jace ask her out for a date she's not sure if she should trust her judgement anymore concerning all her ex-boyfriends. Jace has his own issues with his past as well will they both overcome them and find a happy ending?
This was a wonderful sexy read, the storyline was great and the characters have a greast chemistry which I think is important, I'm not one for writing about the actual story, so I'll leave it at that, I'll just say it captured my attention and kept it till the end
I received an ARC, and voluntarily leave my own opinion
This author and book had me from the first chapter. I read this and the bonuses in a day! Penelope Bloom you are writing like you are telling my life story. You have rocked this D/s experience, this is the first book of yours I have ever read. Exquisitely titillating! Thank you for everything. Keep up the great work can not wait to read another one!
With all the 5-star reviews, I expected more. What I got was more of an outline for a book than any actual story. I just couldn't get into this book, and didn't really care about either of the main characters.
First of all, I hated the names of both characters. Miley and Jayce? Ugh.
The sex scenes were okay, but nothing I hadn't read before and nothing that made me want to take a cold shower after reading. I like my sex scenes so hot that I turn beet red just reading them. I didn't get that here. Wax play? Check. Handcuffs? Check. Punishment? Yep. Nothing original, just basic standards, no heat.
I know this is a BDSM fiction book, and that is what it is, but still I was bored less than halfway into it. Miley is supposed to be 23 (I think) but she seems incredibly naive and kind of dumb. She is probably NOT someone who should be partaking in the BDSM lifestyle, since she can't even seem to figure out effective birth control methods. Jayce... I didn't find him hot or anything. He was just, meh.
The best thing about this book is it's cheap and it's short.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This is the 3rd book in this author’s secret baby series and I found it a little all over the place. The premise is that Miley has had a lot of bad luck in relationships, most recently when she tried to be a submissive and instead hooked up with an abuser who betrayed her trust. When she meets Jayce, and he’s interested in a similar relationship with her, she can’t trust her own judgement.
I found this to be less cohesive than the other two books in terms of plot. Miley had a lot of issues (possibly too many) and I think like the other books, with a little less rushing and a bit more development, the stories could have been richer. Then again, I don’t think the point of this series is an elaborate tale. These are BDSM-based secret baby romances and so the development of the erotic element is much more than the development of the romance. Content warnings if you have any issues at all with control and consent as well as abuse in this case.
