Finding Their Bliss by Thianna D

Brent Carmichael loved Corbin's Bend. A small community at the base of the rocky mountains just for spankofiles, he worked tirelessly to make sure everything ran smoothly and that the residents were safe and happy. He never intended to fall in love but when Charmagne Kendle stumbled into his life, he found an attraction he had no intention of fighting.
Char moved to Corbin's Bend after losing her job, her apartment, and her fiance all in one day. She had no idea she was actually moving to a spanking community but with the freedom to explore her secret fetish, she found herself happily upended over Brent's lap.

As their relationship deepened into domestic discipline, her ex appeared wanting her back. Now she had to choose. The rich, handsome, and charming Nathan Korven or former police officer Brent Carmichael. To find her bliss, there was really only one choice.

Finding Their Bliss was a good solid read for me. As the first book in the series, Thianna D introduces us to the pro-spanking community known as Corbin’s Bend. What? Did you read that right? Why, yes you did. Corbin’s Bend is a community located a couple of hours away from Denver that welcomes residents who enjoy giving and/or receiving a spanking, whether it be in the privacy of their own home or in public within the community, wherever the discipline needs to be provided, it’s okay with the other residents.

In the first installment for the series, we meet Charmagne Kendle, whose life was destroyed when she trusted a friend with her secret interest in spanking … not that she had done it or was looking for someone to spank her, just that she was fascinated with the concept. Char quickly learned that her friend was NOT a friend as she lost her job, her fiancé AND her apartment when her “friend” decided to tell others about Char’s spanking fantasy. I found it quite entertaining and karma at its best that Char just happened to stumble upon a piece of property located within the Corbin’s Bend development that wasn’t actually part of the community, so she moved there without realizing she was about to find her destiny – a spank-friendly community. That fate put her in the path of the delightfully delicious Brent Carmichael was just icing on the cake … once she found out the true nature of Corbin’s Bend. As expected, the sex is hot and Brent and Char most definitely find their bliss in the bedroom.

As a regular reader of BDSM novels, I was excited for the opportunity to read and review some of the novellas from the Corbin’s Bend series. Thanks to Thianna D, I finally understand the difference between a relationship based on domestic discipline (which is the type of relationship Char and Brent form) and a D/s or Master/slave relationship. Finding Their Bliss is a quick, enjoyable read that is a good start for the Corbin’s Bend series. I look forward to reading the next author’s take on the spank-friendly community of Corbin’s Bend.
