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!


Violet groaned as the anticipation built in her. If he didn’t take her over his knee soon, she would surely faint!
 “Now pull your panties down to your knees and lay yourself over my lap.”
 “Yes, sir,” she said as she hooked her fingers into her waistband and pulled first her jeans and then her panties down to her knees. Her pussy clenched in anticipation as she placed herself carefully over his lap.
 “Good girl,” he said, running his warm hand over her bottom and the tops of her thighs. “This has been a long time coming hasn’t it?” he asked rhetorically as he laid the first smack onto her upturned bottom.
 She gasped and moaned each time his palm struck her flesh.

Sneak Peak Snippet - A Brush of Violet #WipItUp @CorbinsBend 9/24/14


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.




“Everleigh,” she began, “you know it’s not that easy for me to get time off of work. And it sounds like you’re talking about quite a bit of time if you want me to help with the organization of a project this big--”
 ”No, no, no,” Everleigh interrupted, “the time is not significant. I will be doing all of the major planning. I just want you to be there with me, Vi. How can I do something like this without you?” she asked with a waver in her voice. “You know, I always imagined growing up that we would open a studio together when we were older. Plans change and that’s fine, but I don’t want to do this without you. Can you honestly tell me you don’t miss it at all?”
 “Of course I do. I don’t have time to miss it very often, but it’s still in my heart, in my blood.”
 “Good,” Everleigh cut her off, “then no excuses. Come for a week or two and let that side out a little. It will be good for you to flex your creative muscles. We both know how overworked you are,” she said, her voice firm.
 Violet laughed out right. “Okay you’ve got me, I surrender! I miss you too and you’re right, it’s been way too long since I’ve picked up a paint brush or dug my hands into some clay. This could be fun.”
 “Could be? Will be, you mean,” Everleigh exclaimed, indignant. “This is going to be a blast,” her tone lightened immediately. “Like old times.”
 “Yeah, they are going to kill me for taking time off but,” Violet smiled, “it will be worth it to see you.“
 “Oh it won’t just be me,” Ever teased. “Mark my words, you are going to get here and fall head over heels for one of these spanking studs that we have here in Corbin’s Bend.”
 Violet’s face burned as the words got to her. Thank God Ever couldn’t see her face over the phone. She didn’t need her best friend to know how much the word spanking still got to her. “I doubt it,” she chuckled with bravado, “but you’re welcome to try.”
  “Oh come on.” She could practically hear her friend rolling her eyes. “You and I both know that finding yourself over some handsome, strong, and sexy as hell man’s lap getting your bottom turned a blazing red would be too decadent for even you to resist. Remember I know who you really are inside.”
 Violet squeaked, coughing quickly to cover it up, “And you know it will never work in the life that I have. Relationships like that don’t work in the world I live in. However, I am looking forward to seeing you. I know how much you love where you live and I am happier for you than you can imagine,” she said, genuinely happy for her friend. “I love that you have found exactly what you want out of life. I just don’t see how it would ever work for me.” She sighed feeling wistful for what might have been.
 “Fine, just promise me that while you are here that you will take off your corporate suit and let the real you come out to play okay, Vi? I want to see the real you and have some fun the way that we used to.”
 “I promise. I will let myself have some fun. And if I’m honest a little “community” experience while I’m there wouldn’t be so bad, if you know what I mean. We’ll just see what happens.”
 “That’s all I’m asking. Plus I have a feeling you will find that we have some pretty compatible men here with exactly that little something that you can’t resist.”
 “Well, whatever happens, I’m looking forward to spending time with you. That is the only thing that matters to me on this trip.”
 “Alright, I will email you the forms you will need to reserve your booth, and any other information you might need. Now eat some dinner and go take a long hot bubble bath.”
 “Are you sure it’s you who gets her butt spanked in your relationship?” She laughed, teasing. “Because you sure do know how to be little Miss bossy pants.”
 “Hey, I can’t help it if I know what my best friend needs better than she does. Now scoot. I will talk to you later.”
 “Okay, talk to you later, Ever.” Violet smiled as she hung up the phone.

She had to admit a trip like this was exactly what she needed right now. She couldn’t wait to pull out some of her old art work.

She let out a groan. “Yes, please,” she whispered.
 “Good,” he said, “Because I want to spank you too. As much as I would love to see your sweet little ass turned a nice rosy red over this bench I think the first time should be much more intimate.  I'm going to take you over my lap on the couch.” He lifted her from the bench and led her over to the couch. He sat down and positioned her so that she stood to the right of his knee and looked deep into her eyes. “Violet, you have been a naughty girl. Denying your needs for so long is not healthy. You need a long, hard spanking and I plan to give you exactly what you need.”

The Princess and the Outlaw - A Smoking Hot New Spanking Novel by Rollin Hand

Spanking author, Rollin Hand, is here today to talk about his smoking hot new book, The Princess and the Outlaw! Whew, you are not going to want to miss this!


I’m here today on Corinne Alexander’s blog to talk about my latest book. Thanks, Corinne, for the opportunity to tell everyone about ThePrincess and the Outlaw.
The Princess and the Outlaw is a swashbuckling tale set in an imaginary medieval kingdom. The story is about an attempt by villainous conspirators to murder the king, Robert Greystone, and usurp the crown. In order to do this, they devise a plan to kidnap the king’s only child, his daughter Princess Juliet, and replace her with an imposter. This leads to a role swap by the female leads reminiscent of Mark Twain’s The Prince and the Pauper, as Scarlett, an orphan girl is substituted for the princess. There are two romantic sub plots, one involving the princess and an outlaw who comes to her aid, and one involving a knight who befriends the imposter, an unwitting orphan girl. Both the princess and her orphan counterpart are, at times, not very well behaved, or fall into perilous situations that lead to chastisements common to the era, making this very definitely a “spanking romance.”

Here is the blurb:
Treachery is abroad in the land, and the kingdom’s royal princess is on the run, torn away from the pampered life she has always known. Her only salvation lies with a notorious outlaw in the depths of a dark forest. Though she is accustomed to giving commands rather than obeying them, the princess soon learns that in this outlaw’s realm disobedience brings swift chastisement. But to the amazement of the princess, this roughhewn rogue’s affront to her royal person fans flames of desire which threaten to burn out of control.

At the palace the princess once called home, an imposter sits on the throne, an orphan convinced by the evil Red Countess that what she does is for the good of the kingdom. Even as the peasant learns to play the role of a princess, doubts surface in her heart and she begins to question everything she has been told. When a visiting knight starts to ask the same questions, she wonders if he can be trusted, but she quickly discovers that whether she trusts him or not, he is more than ready to compel her cooperation with a firm hand applied to her bare bottom.

The courage and wits of all four—the princess, the orphan, the outlaw, and the knight—will be needed to overcome the dark shadow imperiling the kingdom, for danger lurks at every turn and the wrath of the Red Countess will surely fall upon those who oppose her plans.

Publisher’s Note: The Princess and the Outlaw is an erotic novel that includes spankings, anal play, sexual scenes, exhibitionism, elements of BDSM, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

Here is an excerpt from the book:
An assistant in a leather apron stood behind the tall man. He turned to the assistant and said, “Strip her.”
 Scarlett screamed as the burly assistant tore at her clothing while the courtier held her. Her dress was shoved down, torn from her shoulders. It fell in a crumpled heap at her feet. Then the leering gaoler ripped off her chemise.
“Fasten her wrists in the manacles,” said the tall man, indicating the cuffs that hung from chains in the center of the room. The two men who had stripped her hustled her over to the spot below the manacles and roughly raised her arms. One held her while the other clamped a manacle on each wrist and tightened it down. Then they stepped back. The leathered assistant turned a crank on the wall and Scarlett felt her arms being pulled up. He cranked it until she was stretched taut, almost on tiptoe. She swayed, stumbling, nearly naked except for her silk drawers, and feeling horribly exposed and helpless. What were they going to do?
Then a sound. Heavy boots. Someone was coming. She turned toward the door. Lord Cramden entered. He glared at Scarlett and she withered under his gaze.
“So,” he said, “our little princess is ready for her lesson in obedience, is she?”
The watching men leered at Scarlett’s helpless and nearly naked body, writhing in the flickering torchlight. “Master Jerrold,” said Lord Cramden, “I think we should begin with the short whip.”
“As you wish, sire,” said the tall man, bowing.
Scarlett’s panicked eyes followed him as he strode to the wall. She saw him select a multi-stranded whip of some eight or nine cords. He took it off of its hook and shook it. The thin leather lashes, each about a foot and a half in length splayed out like snakes uncoiling. The whip looked like it could inflict some serious sting.
“Now, my little princess, let’s begin the lesson.” He turned to Jerrold, the tall man.
“Lower her drawers. You are to apply the whip to her hindquarters. One dozen to start, I should think.”

Scarlett closed her eyes. It was going to happen. She was to be whipped. She recoiled as she felt the man’s fingers pull the string on her drawers. Her last line of defense fell away as the flimsy garment slid down her legs. Her bare bottom felt a slight draft and she flinched as the man called Jerrold swooshed the whip through the still air in the dungeon.

Sneak Peak Snippet & Cover Reveal! A Brush of Violet #WipItUp @CorbinsBend 9/17/14



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 which I began this last Saturday.

I'm really excited to reveal my very first cover of my very first book! It arrived in my email last night! I love the new design for season two of Corbin's Bend! The Autumn colors are gorgeous! Without further ado........here it is!




Arms filled to brimming with client files, Violet stumbled into the house. She kicked the door shut behind her with the back of her high heel. Tripping forward, she aimed for the nearest flat surface where she dumped everything in a heap. Success. Not waiting another second to slip out of her heels, she flung them off in the general direction of the entryway closet. The cold ceramic floor soothed her aching feet bringing blessed relief. She glanced up at the wrought iron wall clock.  Ten o’clock already! Her stomach grumbled in protest. Trying to assuage her angry stomach she padded barefooted into the kitchen to dig up something for dinner.
Her eye caught on the cabernet beside the stove. Wine first then dinner, she decided, popping the cork off of the open bottle to pour her favorite red wine. Pausing to allow the aroma to hit her olfactory receptors, she felt instant relaxation. She took a slow sip before she turned to pop some leftovers into the microwave. 
 The faint ring of her cell phone came from the mound of belongings she had just dumped on the table. Running over, she dug through the pile until she realized her purse had been knocked under the table. Grabbing it, she tunneled through her purse, finding her phone at last at the very bottom.  “Hello,” she answered, panting and gasping for air.
 Her childhood friend Everleigh’s curious voice sounded on the line, “Um, did I catch you in the middle of a marathon or something? A pregnant pause and then, “Oh shit! I didn’t interrupt you in the middle of um, extra-curricular activities, did I?”
 Violet laughed heartily. “No, Ever, there’s virtually no chance of that. So ease your worried mind.” She chuckled some more as she caught her breath. “I literally just walked in the door and lost my phone in the mad dash to get out of my heels.”
 “Woman, do you ever rest? Two hours until midnight and you’re just getting home?” Ever asked, incredulous. “I’m exhausted just thinking about your schedule.”
 “What? This is normal for me,” she admitted.  
 “I know, which is why I’m calling so late. You don’t think I call my other friends at this hour do you?”
 “Um, I’m guessing no,” Violet responded as the microwave beeped to indicate dinner was ready. She pulled it out and took it to the couch to settle in.
 “Actually, I called because I have some really good news,” her friend said excitement bursting from her.
 Violet pulled the throw blanket off the back of the couch and tucked it around her. “Awesome, do tell.”
 “I just got news that Corbin’s Bend has agreed to put on a huge art fair. I got it approved today.”
  “That’s amazing news!” she gushed along with her friend. “How did you pull that off?” she asked, having no doubt that if anyone could it was Ever.
 “It is, and I’m ecstatic! I’ve envisioned this since I first moved here and put feelers out not long after that in hopes to garner interest,” Ever continued breathless in her excitement. “I’ve already sparked the attention of several nationally known artists who will be coming to put on demonstrations and have booths of their own.” Excitement bubbled over in her voice. “I wasn’t sure if there would be enough community support, but everyone seems to be on board.”
 “Holy smokes, girl! This really is going to be huge isn’t it? It sounds like you are completely in your element.”
 “Yes, it is and that’s why I need your help,” she said. “Between the two of us we have the knowhow and the history to make this festival a real success,” Ever rushed on, not allowing her to get one word in edgewise. Violet picked little red balls of fabric from the blanket as she listened. “Besides,” Ever went on, “Rob’s going to be gone on that business trip overseas, so the timing could not be more perfect for the two of us to get together and do what we’ve always done best. Violet, dust off some of your old artwork and come enjoy something you haven’t in a long time. It will be like old times,” Ever appealed. “You are so talented. I want to show you off. It’s been so long since you’ve done anything creative and I know you need a break. Plus I miss you,” she rambled. “This is the perfect time for you to come up and visit me.”
 Memories swirled inside her head. Violet and Ever had grown up together, living and breathing art. In fact, they had headed up a city beautification project enlisting art students and professionals alike to take part in their project. In their senior year of high school they had even helped head up a committee working toward building an art district for the city nearby. It had been a huge success and she was sure that was what Everleigh was referring to.
 But times had changed. While Everleigh has gone on to make art a career, with tremendous pressure from her mom and a failed relationship her first year in college, Violet had traded her paint brushes for a briefcase and went corporate instead. Anxiety curled in her gut. Did she even have it anymore? She had not picked up a paint brush in years.

Tuesday Tantalizations - 9/16/14

Today is the start of a new feature on my blog called Tuesday Tantalization's. Every Tuesday I will post hot spanking teasers to get our juices flowing. I don't know what it is about the belt that makes my heart speed up and my knees go weak, but even an innocent jingle causes me to swoon.


The idea of my husband loosening his tie, rolling up his shirt sleeves, and pulling his belt from it's loops to give me the spanking I so richly deserve, sends shivers down my spine and causes my whole body tingle in anticipation. 


The thought of  his buckle jingling as he unfastens his belt, the whoosh of leather sliding from it's loops, the sound of it swishing through the air, and the crack as it strikes my upturned flesh fills my fantasies and makes me feverish for it to happen.





Mmm, yummy! Now I need a cold shower or better yet, maybe I need to show my husband this post!

Which implement takes up the most room in your fantasies?

School's In Session Boxed Set - Detention With Professor Black by Dinah McLeod

After the amazing time I had at the End of Summer Spanks: Last Flings; Lessons Learned Blog Hop & reading the very strict and sexy snippets from the newly released School's in Session boxed set I knew I had to delve in deeper. So, for the next week I will feature one book from the set until we have delved a little deeper into every book! I know I can't wait to read each and every one of them! Today's feature is Dinah McLeod, Detention With Professor Black. Read the blurb, read the excerpt, and if you've read the book please share what you think!

Detention With Professor Black By Dinah McLeod

Blurb:
Michelle Johnson has been down on her luck for the past year and life only seems to be getting worse. First, she's diagnosed with cancer, then she loses her job, her apartment and her boyfriend of six years one after the other. Now she has to move back in with the father that abandoned her after her parents' divorce. Life just couldn't get any worse.

That's what she thought, until the only teaching position she can find is Kindergarten - her least favorite! Worse yet, the principal is her old high school crush who doesn't hesitate to punish tardiness with a special kind of detention.




Excerpt:

“Come in,” I called when I heard the knock at the door. I already knew who would be on the other end of it, and I was more than a little excited, even if we had a very serious matter to discuss.
Michelle opened the door softly and let herself in.
I couldn’t help but note how lovely she looked. A few tendrils of hair had pulled free of her bun, falling to frame her face that was as dewy and vibrant as her eyes. A slight pink hue rose to her cheeks as she looked at me—a very good sign, if I read it right. “Please, have a seat.”
She sat across from me, crossing her legs and putting her hands in her lap, though I noticed she kept fidgeting.
“It must feel a bit like getting called to the principal’s office,” I noted, trying to put her at ease.
She gave me a tentative smile. “A little.”
“Where you ever sent to the principal’s office in high school? I can’t remember.”
Mutely, she shook her head to the negative.

Ah, so she was a good girl at heart. That was good to know. “Well, I suppose we should begin by discussing why we’re here.”
“Are you going to fire me?” she blurted out, looking so vulnerable it tore at my heart.
“That’s up to you, Ms. Johnson. I would say that this is a very serious offense, but no, not unless it becomes a recurring one.”
“You’re being very formal all of a sudden,” she noted with a hint of a smile.
“Yes and I suggest you do the same. When we have meetings of this nature, I answer to either Mr. Black or sir. Understand?”
“I think I’ll just call you professor,” she replied with a glint in her eye.
I felt my cock stir at the sexy lilt to her voice when she called me professor. Was she even aware of it? “Now then, what should we do about this? If you were one of my high school students, I’d put you in detention.”
Mesmerized, I watched as she licked her lips, her flush deepening. “Is that what you’re proposing?” My cock was making my pants uncomfortably tight, but before I could answer, she said, “When?” in that same sweet, seductive voice.


A Word From Dinah:

I love to hear from my readers! Please feel free to email me at dinahmcleod594@yahoo.com or follow me on twitter as @DinahMcLeod2! Thank you and I hope you enjoy!

School's In Session Boxed Set - Educating Marguerite by Kate Richards




After the amazing time I had at the End of Summer Spanks: Last Flings; Lessons Learned Blog Hop & reading the very strict and sexy snippets from the newly released School's in Session boxed set I knew I had to delve in deeper. So, for the next week I will feature one book from the set until we have delved a little deeper into every book! I know I can't wait to read each and every one of them! Today's feature is Kate Richards, Laying Down The Law. Read the blurb, read the excerpt, and if you've read the book please share what you think!



Educating Marguerite by Kate Richards

Blurb: Virginia City, Nevada, in 1870, is no place for a graduate of Miss Pomeroy's exclusive finishing school. And Marguerite Stokes makes no secret of her displeasure at her father's insisting she join him there.

Her subsequent angry tantrums lead him to place her under the supervision of stern schoolmaster William Melton, who has a firm hand but a secret hatred for the Stokes family. His attraction to Marguerite is immediate, but can he reconcile his desire for her with his grudge against her father?

When her father decides to force Marguerite to marry William, she is forced to choose between making her own way in the tough Wild West, or submitting to the authority of her father's secret enemy. Will the feisty, determined young lady take flight? Or can William convince her that she belongs by his side - and under his strong hand?


Excerpt: 

“Last chance, Miss Stokes. Will you return to your class and study as you should?”
She lifted her head and stared up into his eyes, defiance evident from the top of her head, to her hands planted on her rounded hips, to her tapping toe. “I will not.”
“Then you leave me no choice.” He reached behind him and took the paddle from the wall and set it on the desk. The wide board never used until this day on a girl. “Bend over.”
“Are you quite demented?” Her jaw dropped, and she snapped it shut. “I shall not.”
He grabbed for her again and she spun and ran for the door. In two steps, he had an arm about her waist and dragged her back to the desk. “Probably, to have taken you on. Bend over.”
“No! Take your hands off me.” Her shrieks surely carried to other parts of the building, but no one would come. Miss Stokes with her snobbish attitude had garnered no friends in the school. “I will tell my father.”
Forcing her forward over the high oak desk, he rested his forearm on her back to hold her in place. He lifted the paddle and held it high. “You may tell your father I offered the discipline he never did.” She twisted and managed to whack him in the head with a flailing arm and slid to her knees.  He grasped her elbow and lifted her so she rested half across the desk, this time with her hands, luckily, pinned beneath her.  She panted, but lay still for the moment.
“I shall administer ten swats with the paddle to attempt to cure you of such unladylike demeanor. Then I shall send you to a different class, one more suited to your level of maturity.” Eying her derrière, he considered the likely number of layers of cloth between the paddle and her skin. But there was no help for it. He wouldn’t bare her …the very thought of her  naked bottom sent his heart racing.  He would have to hit lower, across her limbs, to make an impression.
Raising the board he brought it down fast and hard, with a satisfying thwack. She jerked and struggled and he caught her legs, tangled in their long skirts, between his ankles, and held her waist down with his arm. “The sooner you stop…struggling, the sooner this will be over.” He quickly paddled four more times, five to go.
“My father will see you dead. He has never struck me.” She twisted to look over her shoulder and he winced at the vehemence and rage in her expression. Still, once begun….
“Perhaps, if he had, I would not need to. You require the firm hand of a strong man in your life.” As he raised the paddle again, the door opened behind him.
