Under His Roof

review 1: Under His Roof by Sadey Quinn is the first book the Under His Roof series. Hmmm...How to put my feelings into words for this read. That is the problem I am having. While this book doesn't go into graphic scenes of sex, it does involve the elements of Dominance and Submission with it being about spanking. I think my main problem with this book was that I was thinking it was going to be a regular erotica featuring smut, smut, and more smut. I went in thinking it was going to be the usual read of a new D/s relationship. Instead, it is focused on spanking as a disciplinary thing instead of a sexual thing.A good spanking in a erotic read is okay. I can handle that. What I can't handle -- or even comprehend in my brain -- is the need to be treated like a two year old rece... moreiving a punishment of spankings and being forced to stand in a corner. I just don't understand the dynamics of how this can be a release or in any way helpful as an adult. I am sure there are people out there who enjoy this, but it is definitely not something I would want. The other problem I had with this book -- and I have noticed that other reviewers had this feeling as well -- is that David just takes and takes, but Rachel never gets much in return. She submits to him for the spankings. She submits to moving in with him after a matter of hours together. She also submits to his general rules of living together. What did David have to do? Just be allowed to show his caveman mentality of 'do as I say'. In short -- which this read was rather short -- it is a series that I don't see myself continuing. While the author does get props and an extra rating for flow and style of writing that wasn't too bad, this type of read is just not for me.
review 2: There are disciplinarians for hire who aren't exactly professional Doms? Where do I find this man or woman? Ms. Quinn is a new author to me and I love her brand of domestic discipline and spanking. Rachel is a modern day woman. She's in her late twenties, single with a taxing job. Her career is going well but her personal is a mess. Is it the power of the job going to her head? Why is she losing her friends and being told she's a downright bitch?I can completely understand and have walked in Rachel's shoes. It would have been nice if in my late twenties, I could have had the services of someone like David to right me back to the path of consideration and kindness. Rachel is fortunate with someone who can provide maintenance spankings.Ms. Quinn creates a lovely scenario which is very plausible and desirable for those into domestic discipline. Her characters are easily relate-able. Rachel needs the release of a good spanking. David is a dominant who enjoys providing spankings and discipline to the one he loves. He can also separate personal from work and be a professional spanker. Totally hot! If David would fit in four women a day, he'd be making money hand over fist!Ms. Quinn's writing voice is easy to follow and humourous at times. She forte is showing connections and the emotions from her characters. This makes it a more enjoyable book for readers to really sink their teeth into it. This book is recommended for those who enjoy a good spanking - erotic or otherwise. less
