Galactic Discipline

Given to the Major

Rate this book
For the Magisterian Federation, the military subjugation of Sara's planet was only part of the price her people will pay for their defiance. As the beautiful public relations specialist is about to learn in a very personal way, for a conquest to be fully complete it must be utterly humiliating.

Having been carefully selected by the invaders, Sara will be stripped bare, spanked soundly, and paraded naked and blushing before her neighbors on the way to the facility where she will be thoroughly and intimately examined. Then, with every helpless climax being broadcast to the entire planet, she will be roughly and shamefully ravaged by the man who will soon own her.

Publisher's  Given to the Major is a stand-alone entry in the Galactic Discipline series. The books of the Galactic Discipline series can be read in any order. Given to the Major includes spankings and sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

About the author

Emily Tilton

242 books501 followers
Emily Tilton, whose books have hit number one on Amazon in six different erotica categories, wishes she could live out her fantasies of submission the way her characters do.

Emily's erotica is a narrative version of her nearly lifelong quest to reconcile her submissive erotic orientation with her ethics. She writes erotic romance, but her books are always frankly and unashamedly about sex, because writing about sex helps her understand that fundamental part of her life better. She hopes maybe it does the same for her readers.

Over the many years since Emily became aware of her sometimes unbearable craving for spanking, ravishment, and all the shameful things that go with it, she has tried to come to terms with that craving in more ways than she can count. The first of the ways was by reading, voraciously, every piece of BDSM erotica she could find.

Eventually, she read "Story of O." As is reflected throughout her work, it changed her life, though the change has been gradual, and continues to this day. The idea that other women might share the lusts she has by turns been ashamed of and defiantly proud of, that a woman like the real Pauline Réage might write so beautifully of those lusts, and work them out so thoroughly and even pitilessly on a character, put Réage's famous pencil in her right hand. Or, to put it in the terms of EXPLORATIONS, which she considers her magnum opus, it put her left hand on the keyboard of her laptop and her right hand in her lap, if you know what she means. Emily started to write spanking stories.

Mind boggling

So I've read all 5 of them have to say when I started I didn't think I could but found a strange need to finish them. with them what I did find hard to deal with is that a woman would promote the idea that what women need a strong hard man. Being a lady who's been around a long time I know that everyone should live as they are fit freedom is the key but I did have trouble with this that young lady's as these would just submit so completely. But I do believe that it should be a case of each to their own. But the one I did have an issue with is the daddies, that one was just a little to close to crossing the line, I will try other books by this author will be interested to see what else she has to offer.

Sara’s is going to be punished as reparations for her planet to the Magisterian Federation. Philip will be her trainer before she is publicly humiliated and shared. What will happen when she falls for Philip, her disciplinarian master? Fast-paced read with a steamy story and plenty of sizzling scenes. I liked it.

Her planet has been conquered and now our heroine will be as well. Thoroughly and very publicly.

This is part of a series, but each book is written as a standalone. They share a theme and general setting only. No prior reading is required.

This is an erotic story featuring D/S and punishment. The story is well written and easy to read with a style that is detailed and engaging at the same time. While our story has an SF twist to it, the general subject matter fits well within the expectations of this author: Good story, well developed characters, plenty of D/S and spankings, as well as plenty of steam. If you like these things, this one is a sure fire formula for success.

Highly recommended.

Spankingly hot erotic read. Sara (h) finds herself the subject of reparations training when her friend and boss puts her forward to be disciplined by the Magisterians as reparations. Major/Philip (H) is there to train, dominate and conquer her with spankings & canings, nudity, masturbation, medical examination, anal training and more...most of which is share publicly to make them aware of what they face if they resist the Magisterians. Sara is strong feisty and not going to give in readily, not expecting to fall for her disciplinarian master. There is a lot of hot sexy potent action mixing pleasure and pain. It's an intense erotically pleasurable read!

Okay this is the 3rd of Emily Tiltons Galactic Discipline books I’ve read and I am trying to figure out the world (universe? Galaxy?) she has written. The snippets of information we get about the Magisterians and the patriarchal society they are imposing on all the other planets keeps me reading. I want to know more about this Vionian Empire and why they went to war against the Magisterians. I want to know why the war failed. I wish she would give us a full sci-fi novel with all of those elements in it but alas, I will continue to figure the story out by reading the rest of these. If you have any information….

it wasn’t the peace agreement the Artemisia expected.
Sara is a high ranking official in the Artemisia government. Now the Artemisia backed the wrong party in a recent war and it is going to come back and bit them in a big way and Sara is going to be one of poster children for the demanded reparations. Philip the major plays a big role as the conquering hero in this tale. This naughty little piece has it all and is just what one expects a Tilton book should be. I did receive a free copy of this book from Booksprout and voluntarily chose to review it.

With her planet conquered, Sara will be part of the reparations to the Magisterian Federation. One of the soldiers that come to arrest her is Philip and he will be her trainer. In Emily Tilton's worlds that means submissive women brought to heal by dominant alpha males, in all ways. The book is fast paced, very, very steamy, and with a bit of drama. All 5 books in the Galactic Discipline series are available to read for free with your Kindle Unlimited subscription.

This was a great story. Sara will be going through training to become a submissive too the handsome major. Philip (the major) will be training her through dominance, spankings, nudity, medical exams, and public humiliation. This is a very erotic story with a master that excelles mixing pain and pleasure. Couldn't put the book down.

Cracking

I really enjoyed this, a twist on the series I have already read by Emily Tilton. I did find the jumping from first to third person when she is talking about herself a bit confusing but otherwise this was a great read.

I have really come to love the stories in this series. The couples work well with each other, even if she doesn't think so at first. The world building is first rate and the level of background details really fills out the scene. Well Done!.

The heroine is supposed to be an intelligent and independent professional woman.

I think the book would be much better with an alternative ending:

Given to the Major

I enjoyed the book for the most part. I would’ve appreciated more background on both worlds and their governments. I also think everything went way too fast. I think the domination and degradation could have been for a much longer time than one day.

Uncomfortably Condescending

It just felt uncomfortable and it was condescending. I am not prudish and enjoy dark stories but this one just didn't do anything for me as I found the male characters condescending. Was not a fan sorry.

Not your average steamy romance!

This was. An unexpectedly good read, well written and well plotted and not just the rather mundane repeated sameness as in many of the similar genre!

I just DNF because I lost interest and never finished the book. I think I was most put off by the word, "cunny" and the psychology of the mass broadcasting and embarrassment didnt make sense to me. I just wasn't as turned on as I expected.

I used to love this author. Lately everything she writes is just wet, wash, rinse repeat. All the books are the same. Ho hom so freaking boring

The story is really cheesy. The whole book is centered off 1 day. Its basically just unbelievable porn, the story line about matches a porn one.

No...No...No

If you are into the degradation/forced sex with threat of harm/"punishment" WITHOUT ANY consent. This whole novella is a that...literally. I've read bdsm, but this is NOT it for me at all. Then the cherry on top, a whole book on forced submission/degradation...love 😔. Gross misrepresentation, just gives rape/Stockholm's syndrome. First and last time for me...triggered and irritated.
