The holiday season is
celebrated in many ways. In this Holiday Duet from Corbin’s Bend creator
Thianna D., you get two celebrations in one. Benjamin, Jonathon, and
Cory are good friends and this holiday season, they receive their own
unique gifts.
Cory’s girlfriend Kenzie comes up for the weekend and finally he can show the girl he loves everything Corbin’s Bend has to offer in A Holiday Beginning. In You’ve Been Gifted, Jonathon—overcome with stress—receives an unexpected gift from a Secret Santa and it turns the worst day of the year into possibly the best. Especially when Benjamin sees it.
Join Cory, Kenzie, Jonathon, and Benjamin for a fun, loving, and exceptional holiday. For while the Corbin’s Bend orchestra is mostly heard during the spring and summer, these two couples manage to create a holiday duet of their own.

A Holiday Beginning
A
Holiday Beginning
was such a treat. It was purely coincidence that I read You’ve Been Gifted first, so I had just “met” Cory and Kenzie
during their dinner with Benjamin and Jonathan. So not only did I get to spend
a little more time with my favorite Corbin’s Bend couple, I also got to see
what happened in the living room after Jonathon was relegated to the bedroom in
You’ve Been Gifted. As mortified as
Jonathon was about the incident and how seeing it would affect Kenzie, it may
have been the best thing she could have seen. Even though Cory and Kenzie have
been dating for three months and they have discussed spanking as something they
would both like to explore, they haven’t actually had sex. With Cory’s parents
going away for the weekend, the young couple have the house to themselves (and
yes, Cory’s parents know) and they intend to find out if they’re sexually
compatible and if Kenzie finds spanking as enjoyable in reality as it is in
theory.
I loved that Cory was nervous about
Kenzie’s reaction to spanking. Growing up with parents involved in a Domestic
Discipline relationship, he knows it is the kind of relationship he wants with
his wife so the idea that Kenzie might not enjoy being spanked concerns him
because he really likes her and wants her to be a part of his life. I loved
that the sex scenes were not only hot, but also realistic as Cory fumbled a bit
trying to find a rhythm as he thrust and spanked. As much as Kenzie enjoyed the
erotic spankings that Cory gave her over the course of the weekend, I do
believe it was witnessing the loving care with which Benjamin treated Jonathon
when he exercised his role as HoH that really opened her up to a DD
relationship. Because this is a novella, we don’t delve deep into Kenzie’s
background, but we get enough information to know that she did not have a happy
childhood and the idea of having someone take care of her like Benjamin took
care of Jonathon is very appealing to her. That that someone could be Cory
thrills her. A Holiday Beginning is a
very sweet and very sexy story about a young couple just starting out and I hope
that it really is just the beginning and that we get to see more of Cory and
Kenzie when she becomes a Corbin’s Bend resident.
You’ve Been Gifted
I want to start by thanking Thianna D.
for this glimpse into Jonathon and Benjamin’s life. I have adored Jonathon from
the very beginning and have been waiting – kind of patiently – for his book. It’s
a wonder authors have Facebook pages with the way some of us readers stalk them
and demand beg for stories… lol. Although You’ve Been Gifted is not the four-course meal I’ve been waiting
for, it makes for a perfect little appetizer to tie me over. I enjoyed learning
more about Jonathon and finally meeting Benjamin. Jonathon is such an endearing
character that everyone in Corbin’s Bend seems to love – and they should. So it
was nice to see that Benjamin was everything in an HoH and loving partner that Jonathon
deserved. Not that I suspect the other residents of Corbin’s Bend would allow
Jonathon to be with someone who abused him – which I was SHOCKED to learn had
happened to him in the past. As for the actual crux of the story, Corbin’s
Bend’s Naughty Santa was a perfect vehicle for introducing us to the couple and
providing readers some steamy reindeer games. I loved You’ve Been Gifted and know that I will definitely be rereading it
whenever I need a Jonathon fix.
Thianna D. likes to say she’s eclectic, fun, and just a bit
naughty. She writes romance with both M/F and M/M main characters. No matter
what she writes, all the hot scenes support the story instead of the other way
around.
She’s also the creator of and acquisition editor for the
Corbin’s Bend spanking romance series. Who else wants to be safe, secure, and
spanked in Colorado?
Also writes under the name Thianna Durston.
