Review: Lots of discipline and romance but more background info needed
Rating: 4 out of 5

I connected a little bit with the four major characters but feel as if I missed an important piece of the puzzle. We are introduced to Ross and Jason, who are like brothers, over the unfortunate event of the loss of Ross's aunt. Jason is married to Becky and dishes out punishments whenever she breaks the rules in their domestic discipline household. Enter Mia who scoffs at Becky's desires but secretly longs for the "right" man to take her in hand. When she sees her ex in a pizza shop she is flustered to say the least and wonders about how things could have been.I tried to find a book prior to this one with the same characters thinking there must have been one about Jason and Becky but this is not the case. There seemed to be so much more to the relationships/friendships of these four that it left me a bit confused and with many questions.I actually connected more to Jason and Becky in this short story than Ross and Mia. I felt Mia accepted Ross back into her life WAY too fast and sidestepping spoilers can only say the last few chapters felt rushed and without much action.The spankings are well done and appropriate but there is no real "action". This is not a complaint. I just like more plot twists and movement.The adorable kitten on the cover seemed a bit misleading as that part of the story came almost at the end. I had thought Mia was more involved with animals, say her main job, than she was. It did not take away from the story I just had a different picture in my mind.I did like Ross, and found him quite sexy but he does not give Mia much choice in any matters. I get every DD type of relationship has different rules, and he was acting in her best interest but I felt there should have been more rules discussed. I did have a very hard time understanding Mia's motivations and what she needed. A small piece of her traumatic past is revealed but there could have been so much more.Overall, I really did enjoy this author and will try another title. I sincerely hope there are more stories with these four so the picture becomes clearer. It would be a great introductory book to future ones. If you like reading about every day sort of situations with the added DD guidelines added, you will enjoy. 3.5 stars rounded to 4.I was given this book in exchange for an honest review through the "Blushing Books ARC" program.
