Carla Methon has tread on a lot of toes, men’s and
women’s alike. But no one could be more dissatisfied with Carla than the lady
herself. With a compunction to throw herself at every man within a three mile
radius and a serious case of foot in mouth disease, Carla knows she is in
desperate need of being taken in hand before she does any more damage to her
reputation.
Kieran O’Brien needs to escape a broken relationship and he invites himself to spend a summer with his brother in Corbin’s Bend. But Kieran is a totally unsuspecting vanilla with no idea of the ethos of the community he is about to enter.
Kieran O’Brien needs to escape a broken relationship and he invites himself to spend a summer with his brother in Corbin’s Bend. But Kieran is a totally unsuspecting vanilla with no idea of the ethos of the community he is about to enter.
The pair strike up an unlikely friendship of vanilla and spice, with one stipulation – it is only a summer fling. By the time Kieran boards his flight to return to Ireland he wishes his summer could last forever. Can he find the courage, not only to admit the extent of his feelings, but to take on the role Carla so desperately needs him to be?
Carla finally gets what she deserves …
a happy ending! His Forever Summer
gives Corbin’s Bend fans a chance to get to know the real Carla and to find out
why she has been such a troublemaker in the past. It may have slipped my mind
about her previous marriage but even so the details regarding its demise were so
sad. It makes it easier to understand why she tried so hard to cling to what
she saw as a good man (e.g, Jim and Marcus). It’s also what makes her decision
to friend-zone Kieran not only understandable but admirable. Carla knew what
she wanted (a DD relationship) and didn’t attempt to convert Kieran or
compromise her standards simply to land a man. The lack of desperation looks
good on Carla.
As for Kieran, he flees to his big
brother’s home in America to escape the upcoming nuptials of his long-term
girlfriend, the one who said she wasn’t built for marriage. Learning that what
she actually meant was she wasn’t built for marriage with him was
understandably a blow to Kieran. Hiding out in Corbin’s Bend for the summer
seemed like the perfect idea. Because of why they left Ireland to begin with,
Ange doesn’t want Jim to tell Kieran what Corbin’s Bend is all about – she’s
had enough of being shamed by their family and doesn’t want to deal with
Kieran’s reaction to their DD relationship. Unfortunately Jim agrees to her
request and ends up with two black eyes when Kieran jumps in to save Ange from
being beaten (aka a punishment spanking). I, of course, laughed my arse off at
the scene – when will residents learn that it’s in their best interest to
disclose that Corbin’s Bend is a spanking-friendly community? Fortunately their
friendship allows Carla to explain to Kieran what he actually witnessed between
his brother and sister-in-law and she goes on to explain that she herself has
an appointment with a professional disciplinarian. This disclosure serves as
the catalyst for Kieran to offer a summer relationship as he both fears for her
safety and is jealous. After finding out that Kieran is indeed able to provide
the spanking she so very much needed, Carla finds herself agreeing that
temporary with Kieran is better than nothing and the two fall into a very
caring relationship that gets quite steamy once he realizes that Carla no
longer wants to friend-zone him. Will the summer be the end or can they find
they find a way to move on from their respective pasts and build a lasting
relationship?
His
Forever Summer
is a great addition to the Corbin’s Bend series and goes a long way in
repairing the damage that Carla has done to her standing within the community.
And because we are in Corbin’s Bend, we are treated to an obstacle filled
journey as these two make their way to the happy ending they deserve. I’m
looking forward to my return to the spanking-friendly community with A Brush of Violet.
The accidental
writer, that's me!
A lot of writers will tell you that they dreamed of being a writer for years and were making up stories from they were knee high to a grasshopper. And a lot of them loved English class.
I dodged all forms of essay (not even bothering to look for an original or plausible excuse) and entertained myself and by poor desk mate during my English classes by very rudely paraphrasing and taking the mickey out of Francis Bacon...yep, looking back, that's probably when I should have had my first good spanking. If not for wasting my own education, then surely for distracting my misfortunate neighbour.
Then I started an affair with my computer, so much so that I nearly had to be surgically removed from it. And what's an affair without a good measure of hot sex and erotic spanking? And that's how it happened!
When I'm not writing, I'm a wife and mother living in the West of Ireland. My job description varies from taxi service, washerwoman, chief cook, gofer and general finder of lost items. The writing has to fit in around that.
