About Eva


A confirmed city-girl, Eva moved to rural Western Massachusetts in 2014. She found herself living in the woods with no job, no friends (unless you count the turkey, deer, and coyote roaming the backyard), and no children underfoot, wondering what on earth she had been thinking. But as it turned out, it was the perfect setting to take all those yarns spinning in her head and weave them into steamy love stories. 


  A romantic at heart, Eva looks forward to date night all week. The perfect evening includes well-crafted cocktails, a fabulous perfume, Cherry Garcia ice cream, and her husband, of course. If you add good friends, live jazz, and impossible shoes, she will follow you anywhere. 

  Eva holds a BA from Boston College, and a JD from the Washington College of Law. She spent a career working in domestic violence, child abuse and neglect, and civil rights. Aspects of this work often find their way into her books. 

  When she's not writing sexy stories, trying to squeeze information out of her tight-lipped sons, or playing with the two cutest dogs you've ever seen, Eva's creating chapters in her own love story.

Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


I FLOVED this book, IMHO it's the best one yet.  In fact I was that drawn into the story I read it in one day.  This features Riley and Cameron, we've not really met either character before, though both have been hinted at/been in the background.  


I either want to BE Riley or marry her (even though I'm straight and been married for 24 years).  God that woman is kick-ass.  Cameron was pretty decent too, though he paled in comparison to her absolute amazingness.  My word she led him a merry dance with her determination to see justice served. I felt that he showed a great deal of respect for Riley, even though he too wanted to protect her a little too much at times.


In earlier books I'd got the impression that many of these super strong females had been spanked into submission by their alpha's and were pretty much toe-ing the line.  The last book threw a few doubts around that, this totally blows it out the water.  There is a much stronger feel of discontent amongst the women, not particularly regarding their male so much as the patriarchal nature of their society as a whole.  There was mention of an underground network that helped females escape less enlightened mates, and we discover that those Bae Diogel girls haven't been quite as well behaved and meek as it might first appear.


Now if you don't like alpha males who decide when their mate has been naughty, and spank/welt her ass soundly when she is, then you probably won't like this.  SO STEP AWAY, OR AT THE VERY LEAST PROCEED WITH CAUTION.  I'd hate to see negative reviews on a book that clearly states that it has spanking and that in this parallel universe shifter males are in charge.


Another thing I will throw out there is that this finishes with a part of the story line left 'hanging'. I wouldn't call this a cliff-hanger and we do see Cameron and Riley's story reach a HFN point BUT the ending almost isn't an ending.  HOWEVER that isn't a criticism as I can see quite clearly that it's a lead up to the next book.  Part of me feels like Riley should continue to be the heroine, however so far each book has featured a separate couple, so I'm not making any assumptions.  I do think she and some of the Bae Diogel girls will be playing a significant role in that book though. 


I have a sneaking suspicion this may be the penultimate book, though I really REALLY hope it isn't because I quite simply haven't had enough of this world yet.  However they do say to always go out on a high, and with how the series has been shaping up so far I do have high hopes for the next book.


Whilst this has an ongoing background story, and characters from previous books, I firmly believe you CAN read it as a stand-alone.  It contains a few very mild spoilers for previous books (not many though) and seems to explain things I already knew in a way that didn't feel tedious or repetitive, but would allow someone new to the series to pick up on what they've missed.


If you love shifter romances or domestic discipline stories then I highly recommend this book. I can't wait for the next one.


BLURB:

She thought she could run from her mate. Then he lassoed her.

Riley decided years ago that she would be better off on her own, but when the alpha of the local pack finds out there's a lone wolf causing trouble on his turf he takes matters into his own hands.

As far as Cameron Nichols is concerned, Riley will be joining his pack whether she likes it or not. Her only choice will be whether to submit to his authority with or without needing to be stripped bare and spanked over his knee until she is kicking and crying and promising obedience. When she chooses the latter, the Navy SEAL turned cowboy is more than happy to oblige.

But Cameron knows instantly that Riley isn't just a feisty female in need of an alpha's firm hand. She is his mate, and she knows it too, despite her best efforts to deny it. No matter how many times she tries to run, he will always chase her down, punish her thoroughly, and then mount and claim her so roughly that all she can do is scream her helpless, shamefully intense pleasure into the pillow as her body betrays her and surrenders ever more completely to his demands.

5 STARS  ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 



Every time...


Every single time...



Every single Lily White book grabs me from page one and beats my head repeatedly against it's sheer brilliance until I'm so dizzy I can barely breathe.

 




Fantastic. Awe-inspiring. Mind blowing. Heart crushing. Soul searing. Take every amazing, wonderful, out of this world descriptive and apply it to The Five , and even then you won't come close to conveying just how good this book is.

Five years, five neighbours, five older men, five victims, five times

Whilst you can sort of guess some of the twists, and unlike so many other authors whose work falls by the wayside, Lily very cleverly weaves her tale so that there aren't the usual plot holes. So many twists in other books don't stand up to closer scrutiny, I don't believe that can be said of The Five . In fact I even stupidly doubted her at one point. I was naive enough to think 'well if I'm correct, I'm not sure how she's going to explain.... or how she will convince me that....'.



HA! FOOL! Of course the magnificence that is Lily White will pull the twists off. Not only that but she will pound you into the finest dust, to be blown away on the wind, whilst she does it. My heart bled for Rainey and, despite all the fucked-up (pun intended) stuff she had done, even at the end I totally and utterly adored her. When she lost Rowan, a little piece of my heart crumbled too.



This magnificent story is told in first person, with 'present day' chapters from Justin's point of view and most of Rainey's being her retelling the previous five years. 


The number five was important for some reason, but there were already so many possibilities as to what it could mean.


This is a romance that isn't a romance but yet is a truly great love story that will last beyond time on this mortal coil and span into the infinity of the great ever after. Despite not being able to love herself, Rainey was so very much loved, into death and beyond, by one wonderful, if broken, man. 


Do yourself a favour and read this. You'd be a fool not to.

I promise you I'll take care of you, I promise I'll always protect you....... I will love you more than anybody Rainey, I promise you that......I'll always come find you...promise.....You and me forever, promise.








“No, Rainey. Let me look at you. I love looking at you. Even when I close my eyes, all I see is you.”
I dropped my arms, my legs trembling. This was Rowan, the sweet, kindhearted boy I loved. Yet, in that moment I feared him. The adrenaline was wearing off and I was suddenly so cold.
His lips parted as he stared at me, those blue eyes I knew so well slowly taking in my body as heat blazed behind them. He’d grown so large, twice my size at least, and it had never occurred to me how strong he was until now. Nobody would pick on him anymore. Not without getting their asses handed to them in a fight.
“Can I touch you, Rainey?” His eyes lifted to mine. “Is that all right? For me to touch you?”
“Always,” I whispered, unable to put any strength in my voice. “You can always touch me.”
He stepped forward and I stepped back out of instinct. He would never hurt me. Not Rowan. But what I saw in him now was the predator that had always lingered just beneath the surface. He wasn’t a monster like his family or David. Not him. He was something else entirely.
Pain shot through his eyes when I moved, his hands fisting at his sides. “Do I scare you now?”
Shaking my head, I forced my mouth to move. “No. It’s just -“
“Just what?”
“You’re different, Rowan. A man, I guess. You’ve grown.”
Blue eyes held mine, the darkness in them seeping away, but not entirely. His lips pulled into a tight smile. “You need a man. I’ve become exactly what you need. For you, Rainey. Not anybody else. Just for you.”
I drew in a rattling breath. “Touch me.”
Rowan moved forward and I held my ground, craning my neck to look up at him. He was shaking, his skin so cold that I knew I had to fix him somehow. “Rowan?”
“Yeah?”
“Will you kiss me?”











Lily White is a romance writer who likes to dabble on the taboo side of eroticism. She is most known for her Masters Series, Target This, Wishing Well, and Asylum. In addition to dark romance Lily writes contemporary romance, taboo romance, and psychological thrillers.

The Domestic Discipline Quartet by Golden Angel

Review

Birching His Bride -  5 stars

This is both a hot read but also has a pretty decent story line too

The books title and the series title warn you what to expect, so if domestic discipline (man spanking woman for bad behaviour) will rile you then don't read this. However if you love a well written historical romance, with some DD and a few kinky scenes then jump right in.

I felt like I devoured this book and totally adored both Edwin and Eleanor. I felt on edge at first, courtesy of the fab writing that pulled me into the story and made me feel Eleanor's anxiety and worries of not being enough for Edwin. 

The modern woman in me wanted to rail at the injustice of her basically having no say in her own life, but that was how it was. Once I let go of my modern day expectations I found I really relaxed into the read and was quite shocked when I got to the epilogue. I needed so much more, especially since we were barely at a HFN point! Thankfully the whole quartet of books is now available, so I don't have to wait to continue Edwin and Eleanor's story, whist also starting to learn more about her brother Hugh and his new bride Irene!


~~~~~~~


Dealing With Discipline - 4.5 stars

A wonderful read

This is a continuation of Edwin and Eleanor's story (from Birching His Bride) though it also follows her brother Hugh, and his bride Irene. The book is written third person, so it's very easy to follow which POV you are reading. The writing is engaging and I really felt the emotions, particularly Eleanor's and Irene's. I flew through the story and my only disappointment is that it ended.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will be diving straight into the next one, where I'm hoping Edwin finally realises just what it is that Eleanor wants from him! I am absolutely smitten with this couple, and love reading about their battle of wills. Irene and Hugh are also a magnificent couple, their characters were very distinct from Edwin and Eleanor as is their relationship dynamic. That said the girls both end up with very sore, red bottoms ;)


~~~~~~~


Punishing His Ward - 4.25 stars

This is the third book of the quartet and really needs to be read after book #1 (Birching His Bride) and book #2 (Dealing With Discipline) . This is the continuation of both Eleanor & Edwin's story, as well as Hugh & Irene's. In addition we have the tale of Wesley & Cynthia.

All three couples are delightful, and the women in particular have very distinct and rounded personalities. Due to the inclusion of scenes between the other couples, Wesley and Cynthia's story did feel somewhat rushed. Their part was very reminiscent of reading a novella, which in effect it was if you removed the none-C&W parts. 

However that didn't stop me from being engaged by, and enjoying the book. I adore Eleanor and it's fun seeing all the coupes and how they interact. There are some wonderfully 'naughty' scenes and plenty of spanked bottoms! Cynthia has a real wild child, I loved her 'don't care' attitude and progressive outlook. I'd love to see more of her getting up to mischief and leading Wesley on a wild chase!


~~~~~~~

Claiming His Wife - 5 stars

A thrillingly hot conclusion to this wonderful quartet of books and couples!

I totally adored this last book, I swooned at how Eleanor finally got her answer, I enjoyed catching up with them all and I LOVED the achingly beautiful reunion of Grace and Alex. 

The books are unusual in that each one has added more and more point of views, yet never once did I struggle to follow the plot or to know which character I was 'hearing'. Excellent writing, plenty of red hot spanking (and beyond) scenes, wonderful characters and an amazing plot made reading this book - and indeed the whole quartet - an absolute delight.

If you love spanking/Domestic Discipline stories, historical romances or just a darn good sexy read then I highly recommend this series. It's well worth investing your time, money and heart in.

Wesley and Cynthia continue to be outrageously risque and love pushing not only each others boundaries, but those of polite society too. Irene continues to grow and blossom under Hugh's loving disciplinarian care, with her years of ingrained conditioning to break through. Edwin and Eleanor continue to lead the way with their uncaring total adoration of the other. 

Grace and Alex, oh my Grace and Alex, this pair will put you through the emotional wringer. Both have their faults and make mistakes, but through out I still cared massively about both of them. They needed their heartbreaking journey in order to build the solid foundation they had never truly possessed before. It made all the sadness, hurt and anger so much more worthwhile.

I'm not always a fan of epilogues, so many times they feel forced and unnecessary, but this one was perfect. It tied the story together with a beautiful bow. Bravo Ms Angel on a wonderful series of books!




 



BLURB:

This box set contains all four books from the Domestic Discipline Quartet - set in Victorian England, the four books interweave through all four couples leading to a guaranteed HEA for everyone... with a few hot bottoms on the way. 

 Birching His Bride - Eleanor knows exactly what kind of man she wants to marry, and Lord Hyde doesn't fit the description at all. Unfortunately, he has his own plans for their future. 

 Dealing with Discipline - Irene has always loved her childhood friend Lord Brooke... how can she possibly make a marriage with Viscount Petersham work? And why does her husband's mere touch make her heart beat faster if she loves Lord Brooke? 

 Punishing His Ward - Wesley, Earl of Spencer, has always been a rogue and a scoundrel... but he's met his match in his ward, the lovely and unrepetant Miss Cynthia Bryant. Suddenly he finds himself in the role of stern guardian - and he's starting to think very unguardian-like thoughts. 

 Claiming His Wife - Lord and Lady Brooke are the scandal of the ton, having lived separately for years. When her estranged husband turns up on her doorstep, Grace assumes that Alex has finally come to his senses and is ready to be rid of her through divorce... but Alex wants his wife back and he's ready to do whatever he must to reconcile with her. 

 Four alpha males with hard hands to mete out stern discipline to their sassy and stubborn wives, these four couples have friendships and romances for the ages.
