Wife on the Lam - 3.5 starsWife on the Lam is a short story and a very quick read. It’s about what happens when a wife, Janelle, feels slighted by her husband’s inattention on their 22nd wedding anniversary and how her husband, Brent, deals with her behavior. Since this is a short story, I kind of wished the blurb told me less about what was going to happen, because it essentially summarized the plot and I was hoping to have some element of surprise. However, there were some surprises that made up for that in the story.I really liked Brent. He was fun and resourceful, just as I would picture a dominant husband who takes his wife in hand. Janelle was impulsive and, while I didn’t agree with her actions, I commiserated with her plight. I laughed at some of her antics and waited impatiently for her to pay the piper. I liked the build up and anticipation throughout the story. And, honestly, when it was over, I was like… but… but… (or butt… butt… sore butt). I was surprised how quickly it ended. I wanted a little bit more story and a little bit more sexy time, but it’s an anthology and the story is meant to be short, so it’s a good thing that there are 6 other stories to move right on to after you finish Wife on the Lam.Spank and Run - 4 starsThis was a great short Domestic Discipline story. It had everything from a solid explanation of what DD is all about and how it differs from just being kinky and enjoying a fun spanking for titillation or BDSM in general. Essentially, that it’s about discipline and not about the titillation, although the titillation might be a side affect. The characters – Claire and Luis are great. Claire is a young professional who is dealing with some hurts from the past. Luis is the mayor of their town and easily assumes the position of authority in a crisis when Claire’s house is burglarized. From there we’re taken along on their journey of discovery – discovering each other, their wants and needs and whether these wants and needs are compatible. There’s fun and angst and lots of sexy time. I got everything I wanted out of this story.
