Welcome to the Saturday Spankings Blog hop! If you’re a reader who likes stories with with a touch of corporal punishment, this is the hop for you. We welcome readers comments, in fact we hunger for them, so don’t be stingy when you’re visiting. Authors thrive on encouragement.
Here is a snippet from my new kinky historical romance, His Lordship’s Wayward Wife. Claudia and her new husband Nathaniel are alone for the first time in the study of the training school Claudia must attend. It is time for Claudia’s first spanking, which will set the tone for Lord Tarrington’s dominant role in their marriage. Claudia has yet to learn exactly how much her life has changed, but those lessons will soon be instilled.
Saturday Spanks snippet:
Claudia thought he was going to kiss her and then do the things married men do to their wives. She didn’t really know what that was, but she assumed he would wish to claim her as his wife before he left, but she was wrong. His other hand and arm slipped around her waist as the hand holding her wrists pulled her forward until she felt herself being hauled unceremoniously over his lap.
“I… NO!”
“Claudia you’ve already earned a bottom warming, I suggest you refrain from causing yourself a harsher punishment.”
“But you said you wouldn’t strike me when you were angry!” The tears that had betrayed her came again, and to her horror she began to sob.
“You haven’t angered me Claudia. I’m perfectly calm. This is simply one of the many reprimands you will receive from now on. Hold still and do not attempt to cover your bottom.”
Book blurb:
**Though set in a historical setting, this book contains BDSM.**
When Claudia Rose Stafford made her debut in London, she was wealthy, headstrong, and beautiful. She was also spoiled, arrogant and ill-mannered. Without her father’s presence, Claudia flaunted her disdain for rules. She defied the conventions of high society and didn’t care if there were scandalous whispers because of her behavior. All that changed when her father returned from abroad with the announcement of her impending marriage.
Lord Nathaniel Tarrington is the Earl of Brighton. He is also a member of a clandestine sect comprised of some of the most powerful and wealthy families in Europe. The very existence of their Order is cloaked in secrecy, and their activities carefully guarded. When the time comes for him to wed, his choice of a bride has life-altering consequences for Claudia Stafford. The Earl has demanding expectations for his wife, ones that include complete submission, and the understanding that her place is at his feet or in his bed, and never on his arm.
Once Claudia weds Nathaniel, her life is not her own. Gone are the days of dancing and champagne. Harsh training and the expectation of immediate and utter obedience become the norm. Defiance brings punishment, but Claudia is unwavering, and must battle those who would have her be meek. Her fiery spirit rebels in the face of Nathaniel’s strict training, but the once willful and reckless woman struggles to fight her husband’s sadistic demands. A fierce war begins between them; one fought for pride and dignity; that may leave both of their hearts in tatters. Will love ever stand a chance as Lord Nathaniel Tarrington strives to tame his wayward new wife?

This sounds like my kind of book! Delcious….
Yummy spanking snippet, well done!
I’m hoping she doesn’t completely submit, that she remains feisty.
Claudia is feisty and definitely not a woman who will just roll over and submit. Nathaniel thinks all women are naturally submissive. Boy is he wrong.
Oh, the formality! You know I love it, Jolynn!
Thank you Emily, just like I love your historical take on things. We tend to romanticize while keeping a bit of stark reality in our books.
I love your books, Jolynn and this one sounds like a winner!
What a wonderful thing to say. Thank you Mary. It has been well received so far. I certainly hope you enjoy it if you choose to read it.
I loved, ‘Lessons of Love’. I have a few books published with Blushing Books, but I’m fairly a new author. I’m learning a little more each day 🙂
I imagine it will be hard to adjust to all these changes. But it will be fun reading about it.
Claudia will indeed struggle. She was spoilt and has a will of her own. Women weren’t supposed to have an opinion, and being the wife of Lord Tarrington gives her even less control.
Live the premise of this, and I agree that mixing BDSM with historical romance is hot.
I agree. There was a definite male dominance thing going on anyway and the concept of domestic discipline is hardly new, but many of us tend to equate romance to certain periods or things in history. That thought lends well to a romance novel. Thanks for the comment.
Wonderful notion, Jolynn! I agree with Suz- I love the idea of BDSM mixed into historical romance. And the snippet is lovely, especially as Claudia tries to come to terms with what’s happening
I’m sure kinkiness isn’t new in the least. We just have more definitive words and respect others boundaries. Claudia is in for a struggle. Thanks for stopping by.
Thank you. This one is more than laced with BDSM, it’s for serious kink aficionados. I appreciate you stopping by. Glad you enjoyed it.
I love historical romance and when it’s laced with a bit of BDSM…YUM. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely. Much different when it becomes erotic. Thanks for stopping by.
Under his thumb – she just changed thumbs. I’d definitely pick the later, so much more sexy when it’s your husband.
