I giggled at the title, tbh.

Reread: July 2017

I still find the title funny. Anyway I miss Anne Calhoun's shorts.

Reread: February 2018

Still entertaining.

If the series seems inspired by 50 Shades, don't read the book, or fortunately in this case, short story. Not a hard concept. But, based on my enjoyment of Liberating Lacey, I ignored that voice of reason. I wish I hadn't. Spanking can be hot as hell, and frankly those few pages were. Unfortunately, it was surrounded by a plot where she "deserved her punishment" for ignoring his wishes about what she did in her own home and eventually came to realize it was all about him proving she could trust him. Not how BDSM works. I don't give a goddamn how romantic it may seem to have things just happen, I dislike it when there aren't informed conversations and safe words. At least she consented to the spanking and they use condoms. Points for that.

Also, this managed to be boring. How do you make sweaty sex boring?
