The Disciplined Husband
by Lucy Appleby
An erotic femdom romance available on Kindle Unlimited
Seriously, this book should come with one of those inflatable donut seat cushions and soothing lotion, because after reading this book your backside is gonna be sore by association!!
The Disciplined Husband is a sexy, endearing tale of Peter and Sylvia, told completely from Peter’s point of view. Both are two professionals in a well-established relationship, living near London in a gorgeous Manor by the sea. The plot is very simple; Peter wants to propose, however Sylvia beats him to it and together they plan their wedding. But it’s really a character driven story about their unique relationship together, the experiences they share with their friends, and the interesting people they meet along the way.
OK - it’s mostly about the spanking. Holy crap - poor Peter! He doesn’t always mean to mess up. Any yet he always seems to. That’s where Sylvia steps in, bringing on punishments like this:
"Bastard spoon!" I growl, shaking my stinging cheeks.
"Lovely spoon," she croons. "It leaves little stinging pink love bites all over your naughty bottom."
At times the pummeling to his “sit spots” can get really brutal…so bad I had to skip a few. But he absolutely loves every minute of it, even when he acts like he doesn’t. And what I like about Sylvia, is that she’s always willing to make sure all of his needs are met too, even if she essentially gives up control. She can be horribly cruel:
"Sounds great. Hey - that means we'll be spending our wedding night here along with fifteen house guests!"
"It does. So I promise to gag you when I spank you so they won't hear you yelling." Sylvia smiles at me, and there is a wicked gleam in her eyes.
And other times she submits herself to him. Peter admittedly loves his life with Sylvia whether he’s physically able to sit down for dinner or not, and he wouldn’t have it any other way. Neither would Sylvia, who clearly cares for him a great deal.
Reading from chapter to chapter, I honestly didn’t have any idea where the story was headed, but I didn’t have any intentions of stopping. The dialog is casual and friendly, and Peter’s actions and inner thoughts had me laughing several times. And in other chapters, the writing was absolutely beautiful and vividly serious:
"By the time I reached the cliff path I was panting with exertion, but shivering too as a chill wind raced over the sea to claw at my clothes and lash at my face. The sun had disappeared beneath a big bank of ugly grey clouds, the sea beneath them an ominous green grey mass of seething waves, rising and falling with relentless ferocity.”
Peter loves to be spanked and disciplined, and in the end we learn more about his past, and how he and Sylvia first met. The intimate scenes aren’t always 100% descriptive, and sometimes some of the good stuff is skipped over or brought up with little build-up or easing in. Other times it’s really hot! I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and it gave me a wonderful insight into a domestic discipline based relationship. It also had my husband screaming through the hallways with his hands on his backside as I chased him around the house with a spatula. Just kidding :)
