Review: The whiny heroine just doesn't work anymore....

I like domestic discipline and head of household genre stories.  I read one of Laylah's books and liked it...then another and another.  But after several, I realized the tired, fainting, anemic, ulcered, defiant and won't take care of herself heroine is really, really old.  I know Laylah had her own issues on this front, but at some point new territory would be worth the effort.  She needs a new schtick."Laying Down the Law" was particularly annoying.  How many times does a seemingly intelligent woman (she did graduate college and vet school and has a popular practice (so we are told)) defy all basic common or good sense and literally ignor medical advice, her own body's warning signals and fail to eat or sleep, forget to lock her doors, step in front of fighting men significantly larger than she, and all the while getting spanked with every infraction and refuse to acknowledge maybe she needs to take some responsibility, corrective action, something?  You'd think she would have learned to at least pretend to try and look after herself and save herself a spank or two (cause she was like getting them every day).  On top of all that, she just whined....I mean how many times do you have to hear in a 99 page book that she could do every single thing the doctor told her not to do for her health's sake if she felt like it?  She knew so much better?  I got tired reading it...
