Yay! It's my first Saturday Spankings for my upcoming Corbin's Bend novel, Melissa's Saving Grace, which will be coming out on July 8th. Melissa debuted in A Brush of Violet as the abashed wild child being taken to task by the Discipline Board after breaking some major rules. Soon we will find out what has become of Melissa since that fateful verdict. Each Saturday for the next month I will share a little preview of what is in store for you.
“What were you thinking, Melissa?” He started as gently as he could, but could feel all of his earlier emotions begin to boil again. Melissa obviously felt them too because she immediately went on the defensive. Her eyes flashed, “You think there’s something wrong with going out dancing?”
He leveled his eyes on hers. “Is that really the stance you want to take right now?”
“Why not?” she spat. “I went out to have some fun, while I admit it got a little out of
control, it’s over now. As you can see, I’m fine.”
Melissa's Saving Grace
Release Date: July 8, 2015
Melissa Toselli is a wild child with a troubled past. Having been on her own since she was fifteen she is desperate to find the one who will take her into his arms, heart, and control. She has a tendency to pick all the wrong men for all the wrong reasons.
Unbeknownst to Melissa she has caught Corbin’s Bend newbie, Jason Donovan’s, attention. The wild spitfire stirred something inside of him that he could not let go. He could see right through Melissa’s devil may care attitude to the vulnerable child within who just needed someone to care for and watch out for her. She was crying out for some guidance; both the kind that would tuck her in at night and the kind that would take her over a knee for some much needed discipline and structure.
Can Jason give Melissa what she needs and tame the wild child that she is? Can he show her the way a true gentleman treats the woman he has feelings for? Will Melissa turn out to be too much for Jason to handle? Will she fall back into her old ways? Or will Jason and Melissa find exactly what their looking for in each other?
Definitely looking forward to reading more, but here's my take. If Melissa falls back into her old ways, Jason will be the one who will take her to task for it. I love how she gives him sass and he asks her if that's really the stance she wants to take with him right then. Learning not to challenge a spanker is a lesson you won't want repeated very often. They tend to lose their sense of humor when they're challenged, and the spankees always pay for the error of their ways.
ReplyDeleteI think she'll be changing her stance before long.
ReplyDeleteI feel she has had to take care of herself for a while and being defensive is a way to protect herself.
