Really enjoyed this one. The recognition of this particular brat was pretty insightful on each person's part. It felt psychological - relating to communication and understanding and I think gave a very good picture of what Domestic Discipline can be. I think folks who don't understand it or have little exposure could read this little gem as a great introduction that really gives you a slice of life - without the fear of the unknown as this is a sub area that people don't quite understand and have an ability to classify. It feels different than BDSM, and it is, because the dynamic is very different. It shares much but this story really demonstrates the difference quite clearly. This is why I gave it the 5 stars - it's not a perfect story and it is short but it does an outstanding job at getting to this dynamic and how it can work and how you can see differences from its bigger brother BDSM. Very recommended as are all the books by this author! LHNB-18,7573.5 read for me. Nothing I like more than a brat being tamed. Corwin was indeed a brat. I just felt like something was missing. Im not sure if it's because there were soo many secondary characters in this book. With no sex on page,(even being listed as a MMMM) until the last couple of sentences it really did just focus on the domestic discipline between Corwin and Mike.
