J is for Judgment: Spanking A-Z Blog Hop Challenge and Celeste Jones' Spanking Stories Book Club

Today I'm on J for Spanking Romance and Celeste Jones' Blog Hop challenge. I'm missed a letter or two but such is my life...

I think most people reading this have heard of Maren Smith, yes? Maybe read one or two of her books??? Did you also know she writes under the name Denise Hall? I did not even though it's right there on her website, but this book Judgment was recommended to me by a friend when I asked for a little bit of an edgier read.  So I picked it up and I read it. No, I devoured it. Then I quickly read it again before screaming at suggesting to everyone I knew to go get the book and read it as it is THAT good.

Why did this book have such an impact on me? There are so many reasons. First, the scenario is an abduction - a girl is kidnapped then sold to Judgment to be trained as a sexual slave. But one look at her and the Mountain Lord decides he needs to have her, to break her and ultimately, to keep her...

There's one line from the story I still hear echoing in my mind: 'This one loves her Master heart and soul." I'll share a little snippet below to entice and I hope you'll pick up a copy and join us on July 4th when I will be hosting Celeste Jones' Book Club discussion to discuss this book.

"How long, I wonder," he panted, "before the beast within demands your suffering again." He rolled his head to look at me, but I turned my face away, I was so ashamed. "Already I want to have you brought to me again before Lights Out. You'll be tender, I'm sure. I could tie you on your back and watch you cry out as I savor the tightness of your beautiful cunt. I will suckle at your breasts, use my teeth on your clit. I will hurt you, and I will make you love it."

I groaned, sobbing into my arms as he climbed over me and got out of bed. He stroked my back, an idle gesture that felt more like an assertion of possession than one meant to comfort. 

He patted my hip, "Now, to take care of that other business."

Tane went back to the chest and brought out a well-oiled, black leather strap. It was a fearsome thing, four inches wide and very thick. It made a raspy sound as he dragged it over his palm, feeling the supple length. 

"You've earned nine with this. I honestly can't remember the last time I personally dealt out such a minor punishment. Hardly seems worth the effort. Still..." he measured the tail of the strap against the distance he stood away from  me, "...you aren't a hardened female yet, so a mere nine might make a lasting impression."
