Like the drink the title alludes to, this is a very sweet book.  Emily arrives from Boston on the train to meet her correspondence husband who turn out to be very gentlemanly.  Emily is so well behaved that she barely needs 'domestic discipline.'  She arrives a virgin with no 'birds and bees' knowledge.  Part of the fun of the book is her discovery of her sexual self.I suspect that fans of spank-a-minute novels will be disappointed at the lack of corrections. Ms. Burns' novel illustrates how a marriage might work when discipline is reserved for thoughtless / dangerous acts rather than as a form of sexual foreplay. (Which can be an enjoyable read, too.  Ms. Burns could have varied the plot enough to include a lot of maintenance spankings and chose not to.)I agree with others that Ms. Burns could use an editor (a lesson that by now someone should reinforce to her with a bit of discipline and corner time). Silliness aside, I too like your writing well enough to volunteer as a beta reader with no such agenda or innuendoes.PS  Is the girl on the cover wearing a kepp?  Do you write in that genre too?
