review 1: Although I have not been known to be a huge fan of historicals, I *AM* a huge fan of Annabel Joseph. When I heard she had a new historical spanking series coming out I knew i had to give it a try. She pulled me in with the first book in the series such that I was breathlessly anticipating the next book. She did not disappoint. This was a delicious romp through Edwardian England with lots of naughty delicious fun. Warren is just the standoffish cad you'd expect, he wants his painted paid for girls and has no intention of being tied down to a wife. Josephine, after being dragged to the four corners just wants to be left the hell alone. A ballroom meeting at a country estate tangle them up tightly and the fun begins. This was a true page turner and I finished it all i... moren one sitting because I couldn't put it down.Very much looking forward to the next chapter in this odyssey and am now looking around for more historicals to sink my teeth into, although they will have a tall order in comparing with this delicious delight.
review 2: Book two in Annabel Joseph’s Properly Spanked series, might be my favorite book of hers to date. Yes, you read that sentence right and let me tell you that was hard for me to wrap my head around too, because after all it is a historical spanking book and the reason I fell in love with Annabel’s writing in the first place was the BDSM and TPE elements in her books. But color me surprised, dress me in a petticoat and time warp me back to the 1700’s because I have fallen in love with a certain Lord!To Tame a Countess is the story of Lord Warren and Lady Maitland. Warren is one of four scoundrels in this series that is being tamed by the establishment of marriage. In book two, Warren finds himself in a precarious position with Lady Maitland and the two must be wed. Their love is not instant but their affections are. I loved how these two broke the mold of the times and discovered one another in the confines of a room on their honeymoon and from there their love bloomed. It was innocent and honest and their discovery of one another was written beautifully.Lady Maitland was raised overseas with parents who traveled the world, and her biggest fear is being scrutinized under the eyes of the ton. Her nightmares are actually her reality and my heart went out to her when she opened up to Warren divulging her biggest fears. Her upbringing was less than ideal and she is almost uncivilized in the manners of society and must be taught how to be a proper English wife, married to a very prominent Lord….and let me assure you she fails him on many, many occasions. And this is where the spanking comes in, to discipline her to learn how to interact in society….and before you ask, Lord Warren is a master spanker!Lord Warren falls into that category of men that I love because he had all the characteristics that I find so, so attractive. He had a wit and charm and sense of humor about him that you don’t find in many of Annabel’s men right away. He was beautiful and strong and a true Alpha yet he had such a gentle nature about him and his brotherly love for Minett earned him extra points. Warren teaching Lady Maitland the ways of marital rights and how to please each other were some of my favorite scenes. Warren was a gentle lover, by Annabel’s standards, which made him so damn yummy. Lady Maitland was a star pupil and the pleasures she found laying underneath her husband were off the charts hot.Annabel continues to write books that captivate me page for page. I laughed and cried in To Tame a Countess and cheered for this lovely couple. There is never redundancy in her books and even though this is in a series, books one and two were completely different. I loved seeing the rest of the scoundrels and can’t wait for the next two stories. I definitely want membership into “The sore bottom club” with Lord Warren doling out my punishment. Five stars is not enough for this book, but that is all I seem to get….so I will imagine it as five shining stars with a cluster of little ones around it. AJ, you have done it again. You are my baga lika.“You belong with me always, at my side…” less
