Breanna Hayse is my new favorite author! The main story focuses on Noelle and Lance and their developing relationship but we are also given a glimpse into Lance's entire family complete with brothers, sisters and nieces. I, for one, really liked the family aspect and don't think I would have found this book as intriguing were it not included. His family includes a bratty and mischievousness younger sister Kathy, a strict older brother Alan, and a hesitant to discipline brother-in-law, Todd. Through the family dynamics it is clear that setting rules and boundaries with consequences is a normal occurrence. Naturally, Noelle fits right in with her temperament and behavior. The caring and love the family shares, comes out in the writing. I thought Noelle was adorable from the moment she called Lance her Daddy. She was an intriguing and unique character. Due to her head wound and inability to care for herself Lance takes it upon himself to care for her instead of just sending her on her way, a true knight in shining armor from the outset. Caring for her ends up being a group effort with Lance, Kathy and Todd stepping in at times. In addition to Noelle, Kathy and Maggie are disciplined for their behavior. In some aspects it seems like a free for all spank-fest but within the context of the family it works. Overall, I thought all the punishment aspects of the book were well written and more realistic, which I appreciate. The ageplay portion of the book was not an overwhelmingly huge part of the book but was a great element to show Noelle's development. To be honest I was excited to read the spanking and ageplay aspects but was slightly hesitant when it came to the sci-fi. The sci-fi aspects were perfect for my taste, not too crazy or complex. It worked well in the grand scheme of the story and added a unique element. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's not overly long but I couldn't put it down and read it straight through in one sitting.
