Sneak Peak Snippet - A Brush of Violet #WipItUp @CorbinsBend 10/29/14

Welcome to my stop on the WIP It Up Wednesday blog hop! With my brand spanking new novel, A Brush of Violet, coming out on November 5th I will be sharing small teasers to put us all in the mood! I'm going to start at the beginning and post a little each week until release day. If you're interested in going straight to the spanking scenes, be sure to check out my posts on the Saturday Spankings Blog Hop.

Seeing Violet’s stricken look she burst with peals of laughter. “I’m kidding! Oh my God, the look on your face,” she exclaimed, laughing even harder. “In all seriousness, I simply filled out an application. The board is usually willing to make accommodations for self-employment needs as long as it isn’t anything crazy. Plus I’ve started teaching classes to the kids here.”

 “You’re mean to play a trick like that on me when I just got here.” Violet pouted, smacking her friend hard on the shoulder. “This is a spanking community isn’t it?” she said, giggling despite herself. “That is pretty great of them to be so accommodating.”

 “Yes, it is a spanking community, but business is kept pretty separate, goofy.”

 The timer went off and they dug into the piping hot pizza. She was correct in her assumption of gourmet. Slices of fresh tomatoes topped the whole wheat crust with mozzarella, shiitake mushrooms, fresh basil, and grilled chicken. The aroma was out of this world. They grabbed their pizza and wine and went to settle onto the couch. Now this is a couch you can sink into, Violet thought reveling in the comfort of the deep cushions.

 She took a bite and her teeth sunk into a little slice of heaven. “Oh my God, I don’t know how you do it,” she groaned with appreciation.

 They ate in companionable silence for a minute just enjoying the comfort of good food and good company.

 “How long’s Robert gone for?” Violet asked around her bite of pizza.

 Everleigh look a small sip of wine before answering, “Just over a month.” She paused to gather her hair up into a loose bun. “He’s trying to get all of his business there wrapped up in one fell swoop. I think he’s hoping not to leave any loose ends because after we get married he does not want to have to travel so far again.”

 Violet wiped her mouth with a napkin. “That sounds promising. Do you think you will be alright with him gone so long?” Worry tugged at her mind knowing how flighty her friend could get when in creation mode. She was an artist through and through and when she immersed herself into a project she was lost to this world until she finished it. Violet knew Robert was the rock that kept Everleigh grounded to the world around her. This was where the DD came in. They used it as a tool in their relationship and this was one of the areas it covered. From what Violet understood they set up some rules and expectations that they both wanted in their relationship and daily lives. Robert kept Everleigh accountable for her part of things. One of those things happened to be staying connected to the world around her. Ever had a habit of forgetting to eat, sleep, and any other necessities involved in life when she was swept up in a project.

 If it kept her friend happy and healthy, Violet had no issue. In fact, she was pretty sure it was the spanking that added the extra pizzazz and closeness of their relationship. Everleigh was happier than she had ever seen. Her best friend had always had a thing for the alpha types.  She had always loved being pulled into the presence of a commanding man who made her his priority of focus.

 Violet had to admit it was intoxicating to be held in the focus of a man like Robert. She was no stranger to that feeling of being completely consumed. Her ex had been just like that for her. Meeting him just as she was transitioning from high school to college he made every cell of her body sing. There was this yin and yang about him that both settled her and made her feel more alive than she had ever been. John had been a little feral, a little authoritative, and a lot alpha. He called up something inside of her that needed to be completely possessed by him. God, she missed that! 

 Sighing, Violet shook herself out of her reverie. Her independent nature was too at odds with a relationship like that. Her mom had nipped that relationship in the bud before it had gone too far. Something like that could be great for Ever, but not for her. She remembered how horrified her Mother had been when she found out that Violet had been “letting someone else tell her what to do, and a man at that” after she overheard them talking one day. She was sure her Mom had picked up on the vibe between them as well. She was not going to let any daughter of hers submit to a man. The Harris ladies were strong women who made their own way in the world. The world bowed to them, not the other way around. Working hard to meet both her mom’s expectations and her own she graduated college with her MBA landing a job in business mergers and acquisitions within a week from graduation. She knew her mother was right; yet she spent many of nights yearning for just that. The world around her snapped back into focus as Everleigh answered her question.

 “I think it will be okay.” She nodded. “I wasn’t sure at all at first,” Everleigh confessed, looking a little forlorn, “but we have a plan for while he’s away and I think it’s going to work out just fine. I have great neighbors who will check in on me, plus you’re here,” she said with a smile and a wink. “We have a schedule of nightly video chat sessions to stay connected and make sure I’m on track. To be honest my plan is to stay as busy as possible the rest of the time,” she said with a sigh. Opting to change the subject, she asked with a mischievous look in her eye, “So when was the last time you had a man in your bed?”

 They stayed up late laughing, teasing, and catching up, not going to bed until the wee hours of the morning.

Featuring Tara Finnegan's His Forever Summer

Today I'm talking about Tara Finnegan's new Corbin's Bend release, His Forever Summer. It's the book we've all been waiting for! Carla has been a grade A bitch throughout season one, the character you love to hate. So I'm guessing there are a few who would like to see the witch get her comeuppance. Does Kieran man up? Of course he does. He's eaten across with jealousy at the thought of someone else disciplining her, seeing her bare, touching her. And if the only way to prevent that is to do it himself, well then, he's man enough to do it! Here's a little snippet of that spanking.

     “Not a very pretty litany, is it?” he said with a sigh when she was done. Carla shook her head while looking at the floor. “Look at me! I expect a reply when I ask you a question. You asked for this discipline. The least I expect is the courtesy of an answer. Don’t make me remind you again.”

     “No, sir,” she quickly agreed. Why the hell did she call him sir? She hadn’t meant to. Once again, she had wished she had stuck with her original plan of the professional. There was no way in hell he could possibly have made her feel as small as Kieran did.

     “Jim says you shouldn’t be allowed safe-word for a punishment, but I’ve never done this before so in the event of an emergency, shout Methon, okay?”

Instinctively, Carla nodded her reply but she caught sight of Kieran’s face.

     “Methon, got it,” she quickly added.

     “Come up here,” he instructed.

     To Carla’s surprise, Kieran held out his hand to help her. The simple act of kindness touched her all the more because she knew how upset he was at her actions to his family. It felt soft but strong as he pulled her to her feet. And big. She gulped. This was it.

She had no idea what to expect, but he guided her in place across his knee, an intimacy that was totally unanticipated. He fixed her position so her torso was on the bed at a slight angle so her feet could touch the ground. The first few swats weren’t so bad. It was as if he was finding his way. Stingy but bearable. Almost too soft. Carla was doubting he would quite drive his point home. The slaps rapidly increased in speed as his confidence grew and before long, Carla was wriggling and writhing to escape the fall of his hand as the heat accumulated and spread. Although still not unbearably hard, he was getting every part of her bottom through her thin panties and the cumulative effect was taking its toll. The seams of her underwear scratched against her scorched skin on the impact of his hand, making it feel like razor blades were cutting through her skin. Carla was now shouting her apologies but he just continued over and over. Swat after swat raining down. She was relieved when he ceased.

     Her relief was short lived though. She felt him fumbling beside her legs, grabbing out her Corbin’s Bend paddle. She felt him tugging at her panties and she died a death as she realized she was now fully exposed. First her bad deeds, now her bottom were laid bare.

His Forever Summer 

Carla Methon has tread on a lot of toes, men’s and women’s alike. But no one could be more dissatisfied with Carla than the lady herself. With a compunction to throw herself at every man within a three mile radius and a serious case of foot in mouth disease, Carla knows she is in desperate need of being taken in hand before she does any more damage to her reputation. 


Kieran O’Brien needs to escape a broken relationship and he invites himself to spend a summer with his brother in Corbin’s Bend. But Kieran is a totally unsuspecting vanilla with no idea of the ethos of the community he is about to enter. 

The pair strike up an unlikely friendship of vanilla and spice, with one stipulation – it is only a summer fling. By the time Kieran boards his flight to return to Ireland he wishes his summer could last forever. Can he find the courage, not only to admit the extent of his feelings, but to take on the role Carla so desperately needs him to be?

Tara Finnegan:

The accidental writer, that's me!
A lot of writers will tell you that they dreamed of being a writer for years and were making up stories from they were knee high to a grasshopper. And a lot of them loved English class.
I dodged all forms of essay (not even bothering to look for an original or plausible excuse) and entertained myself and by poor desk mate during my English classes by very rudely paraphrasing and taking the mickey out of Francis Bacon...yep, looking back, that's probably when I should have had my first good spanking. If not for wasting my own education, then surely for distracting my misfortunate neighbour.
Then I started an affair with my computer, so much so that I nearly had to be surgically removed from it. And what's an affair without a good measure of hot sex and erotic spanking?

Hot Off the Press: Cara Bristol's Warrior! #Spanking #Sci-fi

Today I'm featuring Cara Bristol's new release, Warrior, which is the third installment of her amazing Breeder series. If you have not read the first two you will want to buy all three right away so that you can go from one to the next without interruption. They are so good that you are not going to want to put them down! 



A female fighting for freedom. A male armed with determination. Can they save their people?
As a despotic Qalin marches through Parseon intent on conquering every province, Commander Marlix pledges his sister to another Alpha to protect her. Desperate to decide her own fate, Anika flees and finds refuge with the guerilla resistance movement against Qalin. Marlix’s aide Urazi hunts her down to bring her home to fulfill her duty. But when love blossoms between them, and provinces fall to Qalin, Anika and Urazi realize home has ceased to exist, and they are all that stand between the people of Parseon and the end of the world.

Warrior is the third and final book of the Breeder science fiction romance series, but it can be read as a stand-alone.

Excerpt:

     She stared at the bloodied body. “Is Grogan dead?”
     Urazi knelt and checked for a pulse against the alpha’s neck. “Yes.” He peered up at her. “Who is he to you? Has he used you?”
     “Monto, no!” she gasped, not considering the alpha’s intentions pertinent. “Grogan is the leader of the Guerilla Resistance against Qalin and Artom, which I have joined,” she explained. Urazi’s eyes narrowed, and she added, “Grogan was training me and other breeders to fight.” Breeders could approach a sentry without arousing his suspicion then immobilize him, allowing male guerillas to storm the post and secure it. She thrust back her shoulders with defiant pride. She, a female, was capable of supporting the war effort in a productive way.
     Urazi rose to his feet to examine the paper target. “You are an excellent sharpshooter, but winning a battle requires more than skill with a crossbow. You would not fare well in hand-to-hand combat.”
     Anika shrugged. “If I have a crossbow, I will not need to engage in hand-to-hand combat.”
     “Did it help you today?” Urazi strode to Grogan’s body, and yanked up his bloodied uniform shirt. Attached to the alpha’s nipple was an insignia ring. Urazi unclipped it and carried it over to her.
     Anika stared. A single star. Province one. Qalin.
     “You have joined with the enemy to strike against your own people? You would betray your Alpha? Your sibling?”
     Qalin’s insignia lay in Urazi’s palm, damning, but untrue. So untrue. “No! How could you say that? The Resistance plans to strike against Qalin. Against Artom.”
     Urazi tucked the star into his uniform pouch.
     “But maybe Grogan is an infiltrator acting alone,” she argued, fighting against the insidious memories; the ease with which she’d been accepted into the camp when her comrades learned of her familiarity with both Marlix’s and Dak’s provinces; Grogan’s constant but subtle questions about locations. He’d asked if she’d ever encountered Marlix himself. At the time, she’d feigned ignorance of the latter, fearing they would send her back to him.
     Anika clutched her throat. What if Urazi’s accusation was correct?
     “If he were an ordinary alpha or beta, I might concede it possible. But he is—by your account—the leader. I do not believe in coincidence. I have been observing the camp. Neither Marlix nor Dak would have sent females into combat.
     “The Resistance you are so proud to be a part of is using you as expendable cannon fodder.”

Cara Bristol continues to evolve, adding new subgenres of erotic romance to her repertoire. She has written spanking romance, contemporary romance, paranormal, and science fiction romance. No matter what the genre, one thing remains constant: her emphasis on character-driven seriously hot erotic stories with sizzling chemistry between the hero and heroine. Cara has lived many places in the United States, but currently lives in Missouri with her husband. She has two grown stepkids. When she’s not writing, she enjoys reading and traveling.

Sneak Peak Snippet - A Brush of Violet #WipItUp @CorbinsBend 10/22/14

Walking through the door, Violet immediately felt a weight lift as she took in the light airy space that was the perfect image of Ever’s spirit. Bright splashes of vibrant color caught her eye among an equally vibrant, but softer color that was reminiscent of the sun just before dusk. The creative energy was electric.

Part of the living room was used as a home art studio. Canvases lay stacked against the wall in one corner in varying states of completion. She wasn’t surprised, Ever had always been an “as inspirations struck” type of an artist. She worked on a piece while the fire burned in her veins, moving on to something else when the direction of the fire shifted, circling back around when pulled to. Violet was more a start to finish type of girl. She had always started her work with a vision, working methodically until it was complete before moving on to the next project.

 “Oh, Ever, this place is beautiful,” she mused, admiring the place.

 “Thanks,” she said with a humble grin. “You know I can’t abide by white walls.” Her eyes flashed mischievously. “Robert says that it’s my mission to douse out every trace of white that may be hidden anywhere,” she laughed. “Come on, let me show you your room.”

 In the bedroom sat a queen size bed with the fluffiest comforter she had ever seen. Pillows in varying shades of violet and gold decorated the head of the bed. Both the headboard and the two dressers standing on either side of the far corner were made from stained barn wood. Gorgeous paintings of hydrangeas graced the walls. The room as a whole had a serene feeling, acting as refuge from the vibrant energy of the rest of the house.

 They set her bags down on the bed. “I hope you don’t mind, but I thought we would stay in tonight. I thought we’d enjoy homemade pizza and wine while we had some time to ourselves before I introduce you around tomorrow.”

 Violet salivated at the thought of Ever’s homemade pizza. It was not mere homemade pizza from a Jiffy box, it was practically gourmet with fresh ingredients and truly homemade crust. “Yum, that sounds perfect.” Both women cracked up when her stomach rumbled in agreement. “Rest stop refreshments are apparently not cutting it,” she laughed.

 “Let’s get you fed before the hungry beast makes an appearance,” Ever joked, walking toward the kitchen. “I pre-made the pizza so that all we would have to do is heat it up. I wasn’t sure when you would make it in,” she shrugged. “It should only take 10 minutes. How about a glass of wine while we wait?”

 “That would be great,” Violet replied as she rolled her shoulders to work the knots out from driving.

 The pretty brunette pulled a bottle of wine from the cabinet and one from the refrigerator where it had been chilling. Holding them up she asked, “Shiraz or Chardonnay?”

 “Mmm, Shiraz please.”

 She watched as the other woman poured first a glass of Shiraz for her and then a glass of Chardonnay for herself. The kitchen wasn’t much to speak of compared to what Everleigh had done with the rest of the house, but she knew better than to underestimate her cooking skills. Sure enough, she pulled out two pizza stones to heat the pizza up with.

 Catching Violet watching her, she winked. “We would have asked for special permission to put up an authentic pizza oven in the back, but we didn’t want to push our luck after the board was kind enough to approve a pottery kiln.”

 “You’re kidding me.” Violet was blown away. “How did you manage that? I thought this was a housing cooperative. I know how strict those are about allowing any big changes.”

 Ever looked at her deadpan. “Oh, it was easy. I just batted my eyelashes and agreed to a public spanking.”

“Shhh,” he murmured. “It’s okay.”

It was more than okay, It was great! She felt alive, and free, and more than a little turned on. She turned and straddled his hips. Placing a hand on each side of his face she looked deep into his eyes. “Thank you,” she whispered, and placed her lips gently on his.

Charles flipped her onto her back on the couch and tasted her lips, her tongue, and made his way down her neck. “Mmm, you taste so good” he rumbled.

The Corbin’s Bend sign signaled that she had arrived. Pulling onto the main street in the neighborhood ironically named Spanking Loop, Violet chuckled. They weren’t much for subtlety were they? As she made her way down the street she noticed the beautiful big dome that she remembered Everleigh saying was the neighborhood’s clubhouse. She noticed several restaurants, including a really cool looking sushi place called Ginger Paddle, and a beautiful park.

 Aside from the aptly named road as she first drove in and possibly the name of the Sushi restaurant nothing else stood out to indicate that this was anything other than a beautiful upstanding high end community. In fact, things looked downright normal. She didn’t know what she expected, paddles hanging from the street signs? She giggled to herself as she looked for the house. She spotted Ever’s house number on the left and pulled in the driveway.

 Stretching, she got out and looked around her. Giddiness swept over her. She could not wait to see her friend. This visit was going to be well worth the hassle. Before she could make her way up to the door, her tall willowy friend bound out of the house and swept her into a huge hug.

 “You’ve made it,” she squealed beaming. Violet reveled in getting the first hug from her best friend in so long. The other woman reached to cradle Violet’s cheeks meaningfully. “I’ve missed seeing this face more than you can imagine.”

 Violet reached her own hand up placing it on top of Everleigh’s. “Me too.” She smiled. A moment later, her gleeful friend started grabbing bags, and throwing them over her shoulder. She looped her arm through Violet’s, pulling her towards the door. “Come on inside. We have so much to catch up on.”

     He was spanking so hard she wasn’t sure how much more she could take. The spanking was her entire universe. It was all she could think, feel, hear, or see.

     Suddenly she felt the dam break inside of her and she was soaring free. Nothing else mattered anymore except his hand and her bottom. All of her senses came to life as the weight of the world lifted from her shoulders. For the first time in her life she felt complete. She realized at that moment that he had stopped spanking and had lifted her up into his lap.

#Spanking Round Table: Anal Punishment, Hot or Not? #Anal #spankinground

It seems like it's been a long time since I've participated in a Round Table discussion. These discussions are always so much fun! Thank you Spanking Romance Reviews for hosting such thought provoking and fun topics!

There is something about anal punishment that makes my heart beat faster, my breath quicken, and that turns me on like almost nothing else. There was a time when spanking alone did that to me and certainly still does, but when combined with that little bit of extra spice it launches me right out into orbit.

It seems that once upon a time spanking authors for the most part kept their books strictly to spanking. In the last few years something has been changing. Authors are branching out into even more taboo areas; extending the discipline to make it just a little bit naughtier. In the same way that rectal temperature taking gave me a little extra thrill when watching a spanking video the launch into anal punishment in books has done the same for me and more.

A few years ago I stumbled onto Jennie May's Church of the Illuminated series. Wow! Talk about taboo. The moment one of the HOH's inserted a finger into his TIH's rectum to get her attention during a lecture was one that I haven't been able to get out of my mind since (and it's something my husband teases me about to this day!) There were special implements made to spank that special area and more. Something clicked that day and I will admit the tamer novels have lost a little bit of their appeal although there are always exceptions.

Anal play and anal sex don't do the same things to me. There definitely has to be an element of dominance and authority. Whether it's anal spanking, ginger root, creams or soapstick discipline count me in!

Now, I know not everyone agrees. I have several friends who love a good old fashioned spanking novel and would prefer anything spicier to be kept out. What are your thoughts on the subject? What is the thing that gets your heart pumping the fastest in your favorite erotic novel?

If you're interested in going straight to the spanking scenes, be sure to check out my posts on the Saturday Spankings Blog Hop.

She hadn’t been on the road for more than thirty minutes and the guilt from taking time off was eating her alive. Her Mother’s voice reverberated inside her head, “Violet, this is a man’s world. You’re never going to get ahead if you don’t stay one step ahead of the game. You have to work harder and be stronger than any man in the workforce and you don’t get that by taking time off.”

 “Ugh!” she groaned, frustrated with herself for allowing these stupid tapes to play over and over inside of her head.

 Violet knew she was being irrational. She did not share her mother’s beliefs, but frequently found herself falling into those same traps anyway. Rationally she knew she was entitled to this vacation time every year and even deserved it. Just because she hadn’t taken it before didn’t mean that she shouldn’t now. She had paid her dues, God damn it! Her knuckles clamped down on the wheel in an iron grip. Her career was well built. Why shouldn’t she take some time off to refuel and spend some quality time with a friend?

 To make matters worse her boss had been a royal ass since she announced her intention of taking time off. Stanley had begun making snide comments alluding to her not being up for “playing with the big boys” or “pulling her weight,” frequently in front of her co-workers.

 She usually brushed his barbed comments off as a bad personality trait. In recent weeks, though, it had become clear that she was being singled out for this treatment. Several of the guys had taken vacations with no flack at all. She pushed hard on the gas pedal as her frustration built. The faster she went the more in control she felt. Her little car zipped past the other cars on the highway.

 Her phone buzzed from the seat beside her for the umpteenth time. Picking it up, she glanced at the display. “What the hell do you want Stan?” she mentally growled. Thus far she had refused to pick up or listen to the voicemails he left.

 Her phone gave a little chirp indicating a new voicemail. Ignoring it, she glanced down at her speedometer. The needle pointed at the 90 mile per hour mark, climbing. “Shit,” she cursed as she blew out a frustrated breath. At the same time she noticed a highway sign that indicated a rest stop ahead. She decided that a little breather and coffee break would not be such a bad idea. A speeding ticket at this point would not help her mood.

 Pulling into the closest space she could find to the rest stop’s gray bricked building, she grabbed her purse to make a beeline for the vending machines. She fished in her purse for quarters, her anxiety heightened as she could not find a single one. Calming down she spotted the dollar bill slot. She pressed the buttons to get a coffee with cream and sugar and took a deep breath while she waited for her drink to be ready. The next machine over had a full selection of chips and candy bars. A little endorphin rush would do you good Vi, she thought and picked out a package of Reese Cups.

 Armed with her snacks, she made her way back out through the double doors and outside. She sat down on a nearby bench and took a bite of her Reese Cup. Allowing the chocolate to melt on her tongue a second before swallowing; the taste of salty peanut butter mixed with milk chocolate soothed her frazzled mind. She took deep full breaths of fresh air into her lungs, blowing out the last of her frustrations.

 Feeling better after finishing the coffee and chocolate she headed back to her car ready to finish the trip. As she sat down she noticed her phone sitting forgotten on the passenger side seat with a new message buzzing in. She clicked the button to make sure it wasn’t anyone important. Just as she picked up her phone, a text flashed across the screen from Stan.

 FYI Since you’re busy off having fun I decided to give the Fromholtz case to Jason. Enjoy your time off.

She was livid. The Fromholtz case wasn’t even pegged to start until a week after she got back. Fury threatened to take over her newly achieved calm. She breathed in deeply. In. Out. In. Out. Centering herself, she saw his ploy for what it was. A last ditch effort to achieve control over her. There would be other cases. There was always an abundance of work. He might know that this case was one she had worked hard to land, but she was not going to give him any more power over her. Taking one last deep breath she clicked the button on the top of her phone and the screen went black. No more cell phones. No more Stan. She was officially on vacation.

A Brush of Violet

Series: Corbin's Bend

High powered business woman, Violet Walker, has long left her artistic days behind. That is until her best friend, Everleigh Harris, invites her to Corbin's Bend for an art festival. What Everleigh doesn't know is that Violet hasn't been able to paint a single brush stroke since turning her back on her submissive desires and spanking needs in college. When she meets charismatic and drop dead gorgeous Charles her world is turned completely upside down. Will Violet, overworked, burnt out, and in denial of her deepest wants and desires, be able to surrender when love knocks on her door?

Charles Robinson, President of the discipline Board in Corbin’s Bend and longtime resident, adores the community he lives in and the freedom it provides for all who live there. Raised in a traditional family; love and discipline are a way of life for him. There’s nothing he wants more than a marriage just like his parents where spanking and romance go hand in hand, even if that means holding out for true love. Is Violet just the kind of woman he’s looking for?

Will Violet risk the life she’s built for herself in blood, sweat, and tears for the undeniable connection she has with Charles, the utter bliss and contentment she feels when she’s over his lap? Can Charles convince Violet she really can have it all? Will this trip be just what she needs to rekindle all that she has lost since joining the corporate world?

Welcome to my stop on the Saturday Spankings blog hop! With my brand spanking new novel, A Brush of Violet, coming out on November 5th I will be sharing small teasers to put us all in the mood! If you're interested in longer snippets starting at the beginning of the book, be sure to check out my WIP It Up Wednesday posts!

She had forgotten how good it felt to let herself go completely over a man’s knee. With each hot smack burned into her bottom she felt more and more at home in her body, first on the right, then left and then in the center.

The spanking started getting crisper, harder and the heat started to build. Her legs kicked out as an even harder smack landed on her left cheek. He was spanking her hard now and she could no longer control her legs from kicking. “I know you need this. I’m going to keep going until you surrender yourself completely over to the feelings. Let yourself go over that edge, it’s okay,” he said soothingly.”I will catch you on the other side.”
