Angie – ☆☆☆
I just couldn’t get into this book; I couldn’t connect with either of the characters. I usually enjoy the whole insta-love thing; this time it just didn’t work for me. I didn’t feel any chemistry or anything. I know I am probably the minority here but that is the joy of books, some you like, some you don’t. Maybe it was the lack of interaction with all the other members of Corbin’s Bend that made me not like the book so much, the community is such a big part of the series and this book just didn’t have it.

I am huge fan of the Corbin's Bend series, and always delighted when a new one is released. This one is slightly different (see below), but still a good read.
One of the reasons I love Corbin's Bend books, is that we get to see how the things are progressing with other characters – and some, particularly Jonathan, are always popping up to make sure new residents are settling in. But here, both characters are clearly rather lonely, and that just seemed odd. I enjoyed the dynamics, the backstories, the misunderstandings, even the instant connection and where it led – but other than the Corbin’s Bend link meaning that they were both confident that spanking was an element of relationships that they expected, it was otherwise empty of the usual trappings. As that was what I was anticipating reading, it confused me. However, I did like the story a lot. I enjoyed the interludes from John's novel, as they were both fun, and tied in with him widening his range as an author as the friendship developed. The cooking, their mutual interests and the clear chemistry all worked together to provide a really good story. So, I would recommend it, as a new relationship spanking story, just don't expect too much from the other residents of Corbin’s Bend.

I'm not sure what to say about this book. This book had a story within a story, and to be honest, that took away from the story. So much so, I skipped the story that John was writing.
I liked parts of Felicity and John's story, but the insta-lust plot point is off-putting. They have been next door neighbors for months and neither venture outside or across the way to say "hello." As a matter of fact, John doesn't know many of the people in Corbin's Bend, which makes me wonder who his mentor is and how he hasn't managed to get him involved in the community.
The age difference between John and Felicity is brought up but is never really explored as well as how they've managed avoid the matchmaking efforts of the other Corbin's Bend residents.
I give this a 3-star rating. It’s a solid read, just not one of my favorites.

Kate Richards divides her time between Los Angeles and the High Sierras. She would gladly spend all her days in the mountains, but she’d miss the beach…and her very supportive husband’s commute would be three hundred miles. Wherever she is, she loves to explore all different kinds of relationships in her stories. She doesn’t believe one-size-fits-all, and whether her characters live BDSM, ménage, GLBT, spanking, or any other kind of lifestyle, it’s the love, the joy in one another, that counts.
