Romance and Spanking at Hampstead Court

Romance at Hampstead Court is three complete love stories sharing the same building, the same period, and the same understanding that a relationship conducted with full honesty includes, at some point, a firm hand applied to a bare bottom by someone who cares enough to do it properly.

Sue Mason arrives at Allan Montgomery’s estate agency in Hampstead in a skirt her brother chose for exactly the right reasons, intending to get herself spanked and then take him to court for twenty-five thousand pounds. She gets off the tube and walks up the High Street and walks through the door and looks at the man behind the desk and understands, before the interview has started, that the twenty-five thousand pounds is not going to happen. Allan Montgomery has blue eyes and a beard showing grey at the temples and a way of looking at a woman that makes her feel, for a moment, like the only person in the world. Sue sits down for the interview and decides, with the specific certainty of a woman who has been in charge of everything since she was seven years old, that she is done with that.

Paula Mann builds all three stories with the warmth and patience of a writer who understands that the discipline is more satisfying when the reader also cares about the couple. Each of the three women in this collection is specific and fully realised, with her own history and her own particular way of arriving at the understanding that what she wants is someone who will take her in hand. Each of the three men has earned the authority he exercises, and the exercise of it is described with the full physical attention it deserves.

The spankings are explicit throughout, every implement named and felt, the arousal tracked in every body in every room. The sex is written with the same completeness. All three stories end exactly as a romance should.

This book contains explicit M/F erotic spanking, bare bottom correction, hand spanking, strap and paddle use, domestic discipline within romantic relationships, full nudity, and graphic sexual content between consenting adults.
