Wow. I can only give The Point of it All five stars because there isn't a way to give it six. This novel blew me away. It is one of the best books I've read all year, and one of the best domestic discipline novels I've ever read.It is truly unique among spanking fiction because it combines romantic suspense (heroine in jeopardy) with domestic discipline (naughty girl gets spanked) in a way that is compelling and feels very real.Valerio Rios is a security expert hired to rescue Diana Kenyon, a plastic surgeon working for a secret agency, after she is kidnapped. When he finds her six months later, she's hiding out in a Mexican gypsy camp. A reluctant rescuee - she pulls a shotgun on him and nearly blows his ear off. That earns her her first spanking and starts a tempestuous, fiery relationship. Val is determined to keep his charge safe; she's determined to make her own decisions, which end up jeopardizing her safety - and everyone else's.The heat and chemistry between Val and Diana is off the charts sexy. The political thriller part is excellent and seamlessly done. Diana is likeable, sexy and smart. Val is one of the sexiest heroes I've ever run across (Oh baby!), and the secondary characters are engaging as well. The sex scenes are smooth and the spanking scenes are some of the best I've read.  I loved the dialog and the smooth writing.Initially, I felt like Diana was a little too spoiled to be what she was - a very talented doctor, but she quickly redeemed herself.This novel has gotten dinged by people who object to Diana being spanked after having been kidnapped. To which I have this to say: You either like the domestic discipline genre or you don't.  In domestic discipline or a spanking romance, the heroine will be spanked. Expect it. And it's interesting that people don't take author Jade Cary to task for having Dianna kidnapped & beaten while in captivity - only for having her spanked for endangering the recue team's life during and after her rescue.The Point of it All is a moving, suspenseful, romantic story. The best of the spanking romance genre in my opinion.
