Obediently Ever After

Rate this book
A visit to the Annex was meant to be a night of fun. Something to relax me. Maybe I’d find a girl, maybe I wouldn’t. I had very little expectations.

Until Angelica walked into the room looking like she stepped out of a 1952’s Home and Garden Magazine. It wasn’t just the sexy domestic style that caught my eye, it was more. I was drawn to her.

One night. A little fun. A little roleplay. But it wasn’t enough. I don’t think I could ever get enough of her.

But my pretty girl lied. She hides something from me, and I won’t accept that. She’ll learn. And when it’s all over. When I’ve saved her from the demons chasing her, I’ll truly make her mine.

And she’ll live obediently ever after.

Obediently Ever After is part of the Girls of the Annex series and set within Ms. Stone’s Ever After world. Angel is working at the Annex, hoping for extra money to pay off a mistake she made. She’s surprised when at her first party, Damien wants a night with her, and the start of something more. But when her secrets start to catch up to her, will Damien tame his Angel and build a future?

This book is so sweet with the perfect amount of steam, discipline, and dominant yumminess! Damien and Angel are a perfect match and pairing, and I loved their connection. I wouldn’t call Angel a brat, but she is spoiled and she gets a few lessons in growing up and being held responsible for her actions. Damien is perfect for her, as he gives her loving boundaries, is strict when he needs to, but also tender and caring. I loved that he listened to her needs! While this book may be short, there’s a lot of emotion and connection between the lead characters, and I loved the connections to the previous books with familiar characters! This book was released as a serial in Ms. Stone’s newsletter, but it has been updated and expanded some. I loved reading this book and revisiting the Annex!

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review.

A visit to the Annex was meant to be a night of fun. Something to relax me. Maybe I'd find a girl, maybe I wouldn't. I had very little expectations. Until Angelica walked inot the room looking like she stepped out of a 1952's Home and Garden Magazine. It wasn't just the sexy domestic style that caught my eye, it was more. I was drawn to her. One night. A little fun. A little roleplay. But it wasn't enough. I don't think I could ever get enough of her. But my pretty girl lied. She hides something from me, and I won't accept that. She'll learn. And when it's all over. WHen I've saved her from the demons chasing her, I'll truly make her mine. And she will live obediently ever after.

Angel has made a huge mistake. She is now working at the Annex to pay off said mistake. She however is super suprised when at her first party, Damien wants a night with her. A night that will lead to something neither one of the expected. But when the secrets from Angel's past comes back to haunt her what will happen.This you have to read to find out. I loved Angel and Damien. They have the perfect amount of attraction. Damien is actually perfect for her as she has some growing up to do. She needs to learn to be held responsible for her actions. Damien is the perfect one to teach her the things she is lacking. He gives her boundaries. He is strict when she needs him to be. On the other hand though he is loving, gentle and caring. This is a book that you girls do not want to miss. I loved every second of it. I am pretty sure this is the first book I have read set in the Annex world. I so need to go back and read the other books. I loved this one so much.

Damien is the The Annex hoping to find someone who attracts his interest and was having no luck until he spots the sweet and sexy Angelica.

It is Angelica’s first night at the club, and she has her own reasons for being there. She needs to do well and hopefully secure a contract as failure could have a devastating effect on her life. Damien knows she has secrets and is determined to uncover them even if punishment is involved.

These two are perfect together. Damien is strong yet gentle while Angelica is feisty yet submissive and the chemistry between them is electric.

Wonderfully romantic domestic discipline story

I really enjoy this BDSM-lite read. Short on heavy scenes, the angst is resolved off-page, leaving the reader time to enjoy the insta connection between Damien and Angel. Their negotiations and the way they worked together to reach agreement about what their relationship should be really sets a romantic tone to what can sometimes appear transactional in a BDSM coupling. This was such a pleasure to read.

As with all of Ms. Stone's books, I really enjoyed this one. Angelica and Damien were perfect for each other, even though he has to keep her out of trouble. It wasn't as dark as some of her other stories are and I don't really want to say much more so I don't spoil it. The story had me from the first page and kept my interest all the way to the end! A short and quick read that I loved!!

While I have enjoyed all of the books centered around the Annex, I honestly felt this one was just a bit too short to do the series justice. Angelica and Damien have an almost instant attraction to one another but the story just seemed a bit too rushed for my taste. Not to say that the book didn't fit in with the series, or that it wasn't enjoyable, I just would have preferred a slightly longer story.

very close to 5 stars for me ...but Kristoff is a bit higher in my books? i'm having an inner war with myself over which is gonna win the top spot?? - Obediently Ever After, Kristoff and Club Dark Lace ... Mafia Lullaby was hard limit for me, i didn't like or enjoy it, i didn't even make it through half, but that is okay, some one apparently like that, totally cool. i did try "Dolly", (she has several books about the "Daddy" sort of situation, fantasy, whatever u wanna call that. i am not really in that, but if it is you ... u enjoy.) not really a fan of that one either, but so many loved it too. well done for you Measha!! ...that was 2 far. but i have noticed that so many books, it depends on the time, what situation u r in within your life. do u have enough time to devote to this book, really jump in completely, all those emotions, GO!! i will never judge ...whatever kind of read you like or don't like. and i don't think any one else should judge you. i was hesitate to write a review, why? well i meet Measha in-laws ... first i will tell u my thoughts ... she is hiding behind a name. which is perfectly fine. but i am a reviewer and i am not hiding, what my name is ...is just that. i mean i get it ... i would think that so many people who have their say so over whatever u write ...that is why so many authors have multiple names ...but i wish we lived in a world that any author would feel comfortable to write whatever they wished to. if you can go there ...that is your creative ways and that is fine. put the judgement away. quit. stop. so my point is ... i will no tell u the campfire story ... how did we get there. it was late at night. social distancing of course ... in Army Corp of Engineer campground Illinois ... so it dark enough to know there is a person sitting there but you can not see the facial expressions ... any who ...some how we were chatting about this persons kids ... she said with my daughter in-laws writes books ... and i have been dying to meet any author ... i have never been do a "book signing" i save my hubby's travel days for like camping ... going around the USA and going to Canada ... we don't have time for that. i would love to though. any who ... she said Measha Stone ... and i am like ... thinking ... rock away all the authors i read ... i don't stay in one genre ever ... i love mysteries ... but it is not my genre i am stuck on ... i prefer the non-cussing books ...but good luck with that ... authors cuss (well their characters do) like Sailors!! i was not raised that way and i find it not necessary ...but yet again ... no judgement ... u do it ... that's your life. but no one is gonna look down on me for what i read and think whatever ... u do you and that is that ... leave me out of your thoughts. but i was hestate over saying ... oh i know her ... her writing ... apparently this mother in law has never picked up a book of hers and this her right. so be it ... but for me .. i would be happy my relative had done so well ... it is a way to make money and that is great. we need to get to the point that we are okay with whatever. i wish i had thought of something i could have said ... another lady ... oh i would never pick up 50 shades of grey ... personally i don't know why we keep talking about those books ... NEXT!!! let's move on already. i think for me ...what was best. stop talking and just listen. the 3 books at the top of the review are my fave so far (not sure which i enjoy or love more??!! should i say because of their book covers??! Measha always picks great book covers??!) ... that i really enjoyed from Measha. maybe one day i will have the chance to meet her ... her in-laws are super awesome. loved them to piece. so funny. the world is small and i love that. i am thankful i got the chance to hang with them. great folks. makes me think of a video Penelope Ward did on her FB page ...have not see one of those in a long time ...but she was chatting about a relative not knowing she was writer ...maybe one day it will be okay or whatever word there ...so where no one will have an opinion (i wish) about writers ... if you think about it ...all music, movies, books ...whatever ...if that person had not had that thought or desire to make it come true ... it would have never followed through ... come to light or whatever u wanna say. i like it. i guess can you go there in your imagination or thoughts ... to have a book come to print? but maybe i am silly to think that reviewers or whomever is reading it to think they could give their honest opinion, in that ...did it take them to a new world, was it creative enough, unique, different ... all those feels. u know??! keep reading.

IMO this is one of this author's gentler stories & initially takes place at The Annex.
There is of course, D/s punishment, spanking & s*x (all completely consensual via written contract between H/h), suspense & tension, but most all of the non-D/s action takes place 'offstage' or is rapidly resolved.
BUT, and this is a huge BUT, the author as always, pulls the eager reader into the lusts & concerns, the worries & fears as well as the motivations & goals of her H/h. Damien (H) is at The Annex almost in boredom with zero expectation of finding anyone he wants to enter into a contract with, & then a vision, seemingly from the 1950's enters the room. And Damien is instantly enthralled, engaged & determined she'll be his.
Angelica (h) has A LOT on her mind, she's nervous, unsure, a newbie & has seriously fudged her Annex resume in order to obtain contracts in order to earn money for a huge issue she is hiding from family & friends. And when Damien focuses in on her, she's excited & terrified in equal measure but accepts his contract offer.
I loved how instead of being a sexy siren vixen in a scarlet sheath dress, Angelica has always been drawn to the dresses & styles of the 1950's, & in her 1950's style dress & hairdo, to Damien she seems as though a breath of fresh air. She is sexy & beautiful but in an old fashioned sweet way.
And Damien is a intent predator laser focused on his sweet prey. And he knows she's hiding something. And he is determined to find her secret out one way or another, even if it involves multiple trips over his lap . . . .
This one is a quick, sweet read that has some steam, some tension & some angst (Angelica) & I enjoyed it very much.

A hot, fun and spicy little read

Obediently Ever After was originally a story exclusive to Ms Stones email list. So if you think you've read some of this before, that will be where you found it. However it's not available in one complete novella and, as such, is now much easier to read.

Angelica and Damien are an interesting couple who meet on 'Angels' first evening working at the Annex. A series of half-truths, evasions and out-right lies leads to Angelica getting a punishment spanking. When we find out who she truly is and why she is at the Annex the plot moves at a rapid pace.

There is a good balance of scene setting, relationship building, kinky times and character interaction. I have to be honest and say that this was just far too insta-love for my tastes. Many readers love that trope, and this will be a perfect read for them, but I need to see my characters fall in love a little more slowly.

With a pretty busy plot packed into a fairly short read, I did feel the main characters lacked a little depth. This was particularly true for Damien, for me he was just a little flat. However that's par for the course in shorter reads, you can't have lots of story AND lots of character depth. It's also why I avoid the majority of shorter books, however I love Ms Stones work as well as the Annex series.

If you want a 'sweet' (as in low angst) but steamy read, with a dash of domestic-discipline, well written and with a good story line then I very much recommend this.

I love Measha Stone's Annex world. I wouldn't mind going to the Annex and hanging out for a couple of weeks. I think it would be a lot of fun, and frankly, I think the ladies would be a hoot to know, because all of them we've seen so far are pretty awesome.

Angel is at the Annex and about to do her first party because she needs the money. She's gotten herself into trouble and is trying to get herself out of trouble. Too bad it doesn't always work that way. I like her a lot. I think that she's somewhat naive, but she has a really good heart, and she seems to bring a lot of joy to the people around her because of that nice heart and sweet core. I also think that she's been buffeted around a little bit, and just gone with the flow.

Damien is just one of those strong steady characters that you can't help but like. It isn't often that there's a male main character at whom I don't get mad at least once in the story, but that never happens with Damien. He's just a steady character that you want to be around, which is totally awesome.

I really enjoyed this book, and I'm looking forward to more out of this world.

Measha Stone is one of my go-to authors and this is because she never disappoints me with her stories. I found Measha through her first Ever After book entitled Beast, which led me to the second book in the series, The Tower. I was hooked after those and now I make sure to pick up her books as they are published.

Obediently Ever After is another story in the Ever After series and it focuses on Angelica (Angel) and Damien, the brother of the heroine, Azalea, in The Tower. Angel has been less than honest in her reasons for attending an event at The Annex, and Damien is determined to find out her secrets. I’m not going to give too many details on the plot (read the blurb), but I do want to relate how well the story is written. As usual, Measha entertains thoroughly. She takes my attention out of my mundane reality into other worlds of sensual delight and intrigue. Her characters are well defined and the story flows effortlessly, from beginning to end. Highly recommended.,

4.0 out of 5 starsShort but intense

Angel's stay at the Annex was very short.She was there for one
thing and one thing only and that was to make enough money
to repay Michael Bertucci or be at his mercy.Angel needs to keep
focused,get a contract and become a fully fledged Annex girl to
get out of trouble.Damien Simon was at the Annex out of curiosity.
He wasn't sure it was for him until he spotted Angel.He wanted
her.He wanted the truth.Angel's world come tumbling down around
her and Damien will keep her safe but not until he teaches her to
tell the truth over his knees.Deciet is never a good option.

I enjoyed this story by Measha Stone as it was a quick but action
packed read with a simple but well written storyline with enough
sex and spankings to make it interesting.
A powerful story of attraction.

Fantastic Short Read

Once again Measha Stone blows you away in this continuation of stories around the Annex. Whether they be short or long reads they are always so entertaining in their BDSM world. I loved the construction of characters at the Annex to give you Angelica Giovanni and Damien’s story! The inexperienced Angel lives and works at the Annex due to her lies and secrets she’s hiding! She has so many insecurities and believes she is just a plain Jane. She desperately needs the money and living accommodation so will she accept a contract from just anybody? What will Angel’s transgressions cost her and who will her buyer be? Will she be obedient for her long term crush? A great must read I can recommend highly.

What a truly beautiful story! Now some could say, how can a book about a D/s relationship be beautiful, but it truly was. Damien went to the Annex and met Angel and instantly became enamored with her. He wanted to spend time with her, but he knew there was more to her story. Angel is a woman who has the air of the 1950’s era about her, and that is what attracted Damien to her. But can she tell him the truth of why she was at the Annex? I loved the chemistry between them, not just because it was sizzling, but there is respect between them. Can these two make a go of a relationship? You will have read this enjoyable story to find out!

This story takes us back to the Annex, or to the Annex if you haven't read the series. It's a stand alone, and it is only the beginning of the story that is set at the Annex. Damien is a sexy alpha male who isn't looking for a relationship. Angel is at the Annex because she's in trouble and hopes being there will go towards making her problems go away. However, nothing goes to plan from the very beginning, thank goodness, and the story takes off from there. This is a very sweet romance that broke my heart in a few places. There is amazing chemistry, plenty of spanking sexiness, and a beautiful HEA. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait for the next Annex story.

★ Another sexy Annex couple ★

—>>> When Angel catches Damien’s eye at the Annex, all bets are off. He wants her in his bed and more. But first, he wants the real her, not the image she is trying to project in order to snare a contract with the club’s clients. And he also is determined to figure out exactly what she is hiding, because his gut tells him she has something weighting her down. Of course, Damien is prepared to extract the truth his way and help her, because one night is not enough to quell the lust he feels for his little pinup perfection. A sexy and steamy addition to the Annex series!

This is a novella in the Ever After World and is short and good for fans of instalove.

I liked the overall story, but it was a bit rushed as it was an instalove format. Angelica is truly old fashioned in a pin-up style way and Damien wants to be in control. I wasn’t sure how it progressed so quickly from meeting to commitment. I would have liked a bit more development of their relationship. There was also quite a bit of content from other books in the series, but since this isn’t labeled as part of a series, it is a bit hard to know what else to read.

Hero 4 | Heroine 4 | Steam 3 | Plot 2 | Overall 3.5 Stars

Another quick and sexy peak into the world of The Annex with Damien and Angelica's dynamic that sets the pages alight in more ways than one!

I loved the naive and unsure Angel while Damien is the strong and protective force that enables and encourages Angel to find the pluck to spread her wings and be the powerful woman she is. I loved that we got to see glimpses of old favourites - Hunter and Jae especially.

Short but sweet and a great way to escape for a short time. I can't wait to see more find their ever after!

A Spankingly Good Read

Measha Stone’s Annex series is so damn good and this little novella is no different..
Damien met Angel at Annex on her first night working the club and he was instantly enamoured of her, so after a talking they find out they knew of the other from high school. But also finding out little lies that as a dominant Damien can’t let pass so he introduces Angel to the spanking scenes of domestic discipline
This story was fast pace and a bit short but I found it to still be a great read and I love it...

Where alphas come out to play! Measha Stone does it again. She takes us to the tantalizing world of the Annex where disobedience is not an option once the contract has been signed. But it’s the small print that is the emotional connection the characters have that is the devil in the details. The men are dominant, the women are strong yet need the protection and attention that only their men can provide, and the chemistry between couples is explosive like throwing oil on fire. All I can say is, bring on the heat, I’m ready to get burned.

Angel came to Annex under false pretenses, trying to pay for a mistake she made, but without the background that Ash or Daniel wanted for their "girls". Damien went to the club for a diversion, meeting Angel that night. She said she knew him from school, but he didn't recognize her. However she did lie to him so he took her upstairs to deal with the consequences, but not to spoil the story, her cousin Hunter recognized her right away, but you will need to read this fast-paced story to see what happens.

Great story about a girl who makes mistakes and the man who takes charge to help her find her way. The Annex House has a new girl up for grabs and Damien takes the bait. Angelica has made some mistakes, but is trying in her own way to make ammends. Damien doesn't play games and gets into serious discipline once he figures out how important Angelica really is. As usual, the sex is hot and discipline is even hotter. Grab this book and reward yourself, it won't take too long to read and the end comes before you realize it and leaves you satisfied with the HEA.

Luccyyy I'm home!

Damien is bowled over by one look at Angelica and her 50's fashion. He is an old fashioned man with old fashioned ideals. While modern in every sense I still got a flashback to a very classic old show that I'm pretty sure wasn't as vanilla as it seemed, lol.
There are lies and manipulations, intrigue, sexy hot spankings, a dominant caring man, a woman with good intentions, lots of old "connections" and faces and a really enjoyable story with characters I loved!

A novella in the Ever After world. You need to have read the other books in the series otherwise it won’t make much sense.

It is not a dark book. Damian and Angelica are both old fashioned in ways and that comes across in how Angelica dresses and what Damian wants in a relationship. They have a DD dynamic going on. And I really enjoyed reading about that.

For me the actual story and the interaction feel very rushed. It is a novella so words are limited, but I wanted more interaction and more time for the main characters then they got.

There's a lot of action going on at the Annex. Hunter and Jaelynn, Damien and Angelica. Maybe I should take a number and wait for my man of steel. Angelica is in a predicament of her own making and trying to make it right by working at the Annex. Unbeknowing to her heart Damien is waiting for his own chance at love. But the strange thing here is they both know each other from the past and once he finds her again, he won't be letting her go. She's feisty but that won't stop him from spanking her tail a burning red or loving her like mad. This is a quickie ya'll but so dang worth the read.

Still a great book!

Ok so the reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is I got a little aggravated with the lead female character. She was so self conscious that it was a turn off. Also i though Damian would be more stricter and such a daddy dom like hunter. After seing Damian and Jae's reaction in the first book i thought for sure he would be strict and harsh [in a good way]. Other than that this book was still pretty great! The sexy scenes were hot not as hot as others by Measha but still pretty good! Over all it was a good quick read!

An Annex standalone, domestic discipline novella about Damien and Angelica. Angelica's got herself in a bit of trouble, and her efforts to solve her problems only compound them. This is a hot DD story with a privileged female lead who wants a regular life. Damien & Angelica were a perfect fit and I loved reading about their beginning. Evenly paced with lovely flow. Great little read!

I received a copy of this book. My honest review is voluntarily provided.

I really liked how this story went, it had a lot of feeling and super sexy at the same time. Angelica and Damien were made for each other he had such a big heart you could just melt and meeting a girl that's trouble with no choices in life and getting to show her the way his way made all the difference. They had great chemistry and I loved the character development from start to finish, the story just flowed perfectly and keeps your full attention.

when a girl gets in trouble she has to take action, and it comes in the form of working at the Annexe, a private club after lying about her experience Angel is attending her first party, when she meets Damian, shock that she crushed on him in school, more shock when t turns out he knows her family. Couldn't put it down, more sparks then a firework, strong men who give punishment but look after their wome, the best kind of read. I voluntarily reviewed this book

This is a short, sweet jaunt into the outskirts of the Annex world.
Plucked from the Annex-Menu on her very first party night, Angel turns from one young woman in need of protection, into a serious family- and business problem when her contract partner finds out who she is and why she really is there.
But leave it to the men around the Titon family to take care of their women in their own inimitable way!
