Fresh out of college and looking to escape her painful past in Atlanta, Stacy
Altman is in Detroit for an interview when a drop dead gorgeous doctor
literally runs right into her. Two years later, when the same man—wealthy surgeon
Jared Baker—plows through a door and collides with her again, this time
injuring her knee in the process, it seems that fate has plans for the unlikely
pair.
To atone for his carelessness, Dr. Baker decides to personally tend to his
newfound “Georgia Peach”. As her doctor, Jared instructs Stacy to rest up until
she can walk again… and as the firm, loving man she has long needed in her
life, he informs her that she can expect to be taken over his knee for a
spanking if she disregards her doctor’s orders.
Stacy soon lands a promotion and her life in
Detroit becomes everything she hoped it would be, but even after Jared asks her
to be his wife, it becomes more and more difficult for her to hide from the
trauma she hoped she had left behind in Georgia. Can Jared’s love prove to be
the sweet salvation she so desperately needs?
Publisher’s
Note: Sweet Salvation is an erotic romance novel that includes
spankings, anal play, graphic sexual scenes, and more. If such material offends
you, please don’t buy this book.
Questions: One of the reviews said "not much conflict". Sweet Salvation featured a young heroine whose parents were killed in a violent car crash with a drunk driver. At the young age of 21 she had to go alone to the police station to identify the body of her father. This traumatic event caused subsequent nightmares, and PTSD type of symptoms and panic. The story talks about her lonliness and how she has had to deal with her trauma alone, until she finds her man who through love and support and firm discipline, helps her move on past her trauma. Hm... no real conflict. How much conflict is too much in a spanking romance? Is there such a thing? I have been critiqued on the other end of the spectrum for having to much. What is the correct balance in your opinion?
#2: This question comes from another review. There is a scene where the heroine after a near miss sledding accident, decides it will be funny to kid around with her man and her 2 good friends by making a joke about being injured when she is not. A subsequent bare bottomed spanking ensues, on the sled hill although he makes sure no one sees except the 2 good friends who are both spankos and understand the DD dynamic. Too much? How do you feel about a public spanking?
#3 I have two sexy doctors in the book and it was suggested that a medical play scene would have fit right in. How do you feel about medical play? Are there things that are just too "yucky" for a romance? I'm a nurse so it tends to all make me go "ew" that too much like work, but I know all the mechanics. Would you like to see a medical scene in this type of book?
4 There is an unresolved relationship in this book between the H/h best friends. I plan a sequel. The main characters love story had resolution, how do you feel when secondary characters stories are still up in the air at the end? Angry? Curious? Eager to get the next book? Ticked off and swearing you won't buy it out of spite?
Excerpt:
“You got spanked over a flat
tire?”
“Well, not exactly for the tire.
I forget to charge my cell phone and on the way back from visiting my mom, I
had the flat.”
“Okay, not charging your phone
is bad, but I wouldn’t think that deserved a spanking. Was this a real spanking
or a sexy spanking?”
“It felt like a real one to me,
and Stacy, he made me stand in the corner afterward and think about it.
“Well, now I’m getting pissed. That
was overreacting, don’t you think?”
“Tell her the rest, cara.” Both of their heads whipped
around to see the guys, bare-chested in nothing but their swimming trunks,
lounging against the railing with arms crossed as they casually listened.
“How long have you two been
standing there?” Stacy demanded of Jared.
“Let’s see, it was about the
time you called me ‘annoying sometimes, but mostly really sexy.’ I definitely
heard about all of those ‘you knows.’” He smiled as she flushed crimson. “What
about you, Marc?”
He looked at Jared with a grin.
“I came in when your half-pint girlfriend called me Dr. Bossy Hunk Millionaire,
didn’t I? Thanks for that by the way, Stace.”
Jared chuckled.
Stacy buried her face in her
hands and mumbled, “Take me now, Jesus,” under her breath.
Marc said, “Don’t go until
Jessie explains, Stace. Tell her why else you earned that spanking, bella mia.”
“Do I have to?”
All three of them answered, “Yes!”
“Well… I was headed home from my
mother’s at about nine o’clock when I had a blowout on I-75. Already late for
my date with Marc, I had no way to call him so he wouldn’t worry, no way to
call roadside assistance either. I didn’t know how to change a tire, so when a
nice man offered, I let him.”
“Oh, no, Jess. Tell me you didn’t
get out of your car.”
“Okay, I won’t.”
“But she did. And that is why
your best friend, my naughty new girlfriend earned a well-deserved butt
roasting.”
“I’d have spanked you too, Jess.”
This came from Stacy.
“Me too,” added Jared.
“Me three,” added Jessie
ruefully. “I learned my lesson, believe me.”
Marc walked over and bent down,
sealing his lips to hers in a very soft-looking kiss. Very nice, Stacy thought, as she watched it all happen. She smiled,
happy for her friends.
