When Professor John Dunn
moves to Corbin's Bend, hoping to live the spanking-centered BDSM
lifestyle for which he has always yearned, he gets more than he
bargained for when his brilliant student Sarah Harshaw sets out to
seduce him. Sarah, in turn, gets much more than she bargained for when
she finds herself taken in hand, and loving it. Both John and Sarah know
that their torrid D/s relationship is wrong, but both also know that
they have found in the other a true partner not just erotically, but
intellectually as well.
Will their love survive the trials that inevitably befall it when Sarah's parents find out, and confront John? Can Sarah convince John that she knew what she was doing when she entered his office even though wearing his collar wasn't in her game-plan?

If you don’t know
anything about this series, here is a very brief overview of it all! Corbin’s Bend Series is 10 authors who have
gotten together to write standalone books about the different couples who live
in Corbin’s Bend. So it’s great fun to get the 10 different author styles and
personalities in their stories, and learn more about the town as you progress
further into the stories.
After I finished
Finding Their Bliss, I couldn’t wait to start reading this book! While I did know going into this series that
all the authors have their own writing styles, I was caught completely off
guard with this book. This is a really hard review for me to write because even
though I did enjoy the story, I also didn’t enjoy it at the same time.
To me, while
reading about Sarah and John, I felt as if the story was very strict and
uptight. I do understand that this book was a variation of the Master/slave
relationship; I just wasn’t able to get into the story completely. I do believe
that part of the problem for me personally was how formal the writing was. It’s
not written like a lot of books these days are, it read more like a historical
book. There were a few times where I had to actually pull out my dictionary to
know what Ms. Tilton was actually talking about when it came the wording she
was using. Another thing that I didn’t enjoy about the book was how near the
end of the story, there were some time jumps that happened that left me
completely confused as to what day Ms. Tilton was actually writing about.
One thing that I
did completely enjoy about the story was how it wasn’t as clear cut as it
seemed it would be. There were some things that happened that did catch me off
guard, and it was a good thing. So those twists are what kept me into the
story.
Overall though,
even though I enjoyed the twists, I wasn’t able to connect with the story
completely because of how formal it was.
