Adored

2013

Tessa Martin had moved back to a small town in New Hampshire to get away from the rat-race in Florida. That, and a couple relationships that just hadn't turned out the way she had hoped. After four years, her small town life, consisting of a few good friends and her surprisingly successful flower shop, was not particularly exciting, but it was very satisfying. Then her apple cart (or flower cart, possibly) was completely upended by one Sean Maddox, a local mechanic who spotted Tessa at the local coffee shop. Unfortunately for Tessa, that's not the only place Sean has spotted her, and Tessa finds herself upended by Sean as well. With Sean, Tessa finds that her long time fantasies are becoming reality. The problem with reality, however, is that it smarts - particularly when it's a large male hand reddening an upturned female behind. Does she really want that? When Tessa comes to understand that with Sean, it's real - the submission, the spanking, all of it, she doesn't know if she can go through with what she thought she always wanted. Can Sean change her mind by Valentine's Day? "Adored: The Not Valentine's Valentine's Day" is Carolyn Faulkner at her best!

Tessa Martin had just accepted Sean's marriage proposal last Valentine's Day, so she couldn't understand why he was pushing her for a short engagement and a quick wedding. It was all happening too fast! He hadn't entered her life silently like a thief in the night, but more like a bulldozer, and she wondered about losing herself in the aftermath. So when one of the refrigerators in her small florist shop breaks down near closing, she doesn't want to call him to ride into the sunset and rescue her. She calls a repairman herself. Sean knows how life can tragically change on a dime. He lost his first wife, a childhood sweetheart, to another man's moment of careless driving. He grieved for her for ten long years. Now that he'd finally started living again, he didn't want to waste a single moment! But Tessa works too hard, and doesn't let him in to help. He worries about her all the time, but the more worried he gets the more resistant she becomes. It's already been established that he'll spank... but can you spank someone all the way to the altar?Publisher's This classic Carolyn Faulkner contains domestic discipline themes, including consensual and non-consensual spanking. Please do not buy this book if such themes offend you.

Carolyn was one of you as a kid, with the intriguing seeds planted in her head of the shivering thrill-thoughts that came with words like spanking, or discipline. As with you, those kinds of words and thoughts connected the heated blush of her cheeks with feelings elsewhere, which got more and more interesting the older she got. I bet you know just what I'm talking about. Like some, she started writing down these thoughts, escaping into short stories of reluctant heroes willing to take someone they love in hand when it's for her own good... and more shadowy thoughts as her imagination matured. And like some, she started sharing her writings in newsgroups once she gained some confidence. There's nothing like the perfectly-turned phrase, the handful of words that can make a feeling wash over you. And if you're reading this, then you have within you some intense feelings that most of the world doesn't understand—but Carolyn does, and she writes those passions with wondrous abandon. Her specialties are Spanking Romance and Adult Ageplay, so we've grouped the many examples of her work that way. Spanking Romance Classics are sweeping love stories which dare (in a very un-PC way) to allow their heroine to feel the special love of a strong man who will take her in hand when it's best for her. Carolyn writes very real, rich characters and stories that aren't just excuses to jump from spanking scene to spanking scene. If the timeless tango of pursuing ardor touches you, and the head-rush of Adoring Discipline intrigues you, then you'll love Carolyn's stories!
