Abby Delaney moves to
Corbin’s Bend to work at her aunt’s antique store to recover from a
painful divorce. She gets more than expected when she meets sexy,
charming Harris Montgomery, a local businessman and tennis pro, a man
who seems to be the exact opposite of her ex-husband. Through Harris,
she discovers her submissive side when he introduces her to spanking
good times, and she begins to trust herself again. But when the
relationship progresses to a deeper level, she discovers Harris and her
ex share more in common than she’d thought. With future happiness on the
line, can she risk surrendering her heart on a long shot?
Ms. Bristol takes us back to
Corbin's Bend as Abby moves to her aunt's apartment as she attempts to get her
life back on track after divorcing her high school sweetheart whose gambling
cost them her grandmother's house and her collection of antiques. Abby is
fortunate that she is able to work for her aunt in her antiques shop, giving
her the opportunity to start over while doing something she loves. As fate
would have it, she meets Harris, a single resident of Corbin's Bend that her
aunt thinks will be perfect for her, while moving in to get aunt's apartment.
Although Harris finds Abby attractive, he thinks her too vanilla and decides
he's going to cancel on going to Auntie Q's for dinner. That is, until he stops
by the shop the following day to talk to Quincy only to find Abby stocking the
store with some new antiques ... paddles, floggers, and even a couple of
spanking benches. Once he notices that her blush isn't entirely due to
embarrassment and that her touch lingers on the leather implements, his sparks
of attraction from the day before begin to smolder and he decides to see where
things may lead.
Fortunately Abby agrees to go on a
date with Harris and we get front row seats to an entertaining read as they
explore a domestic discipline relationship even though they aren't living
together nor dating seriously as Harris is anti-marriage due to his parents'
multiple failed marriages. I'll just say that when THAT conversation occurred,
I found myself chuckling as the always confident and in control Harris developed
a terrible case of foot-in-mouth disease. But as expected, all is not smooth
sailing as the relationship between the two develops and they have to deal with
Abby's ex and how his past behavior has such an impact on her life and mindset.
Not only does Ms. Bristol provide an
entertaining installment to the Corbin's Bend series, she also injects a bit of
action into the story. And no, I wasn't referring to bedroom action either -
although that was pretty freaking hot as Harris seems to have a bit of Dom in
him. Long Shot is a great addition to
the Corbin's Bend series and I'll be checking out more of Ms. Bristol's
writing.
