From the opening scene to the last chapter, Your Smile Come Morning is filled with spankings!  Of course, in a historical novel the setting lends to men spanking women.  Not only does Sir Milrick spank Rosalind, but the secondary characters get in on the action too.  I enjoyed reading the interaction between Rosalind’s maid Beata and the blacksmith Martin as much as I did Rosalind and Milrick.

This story is 9 chapters and begins with the meeting of Milrick and Rosalind to their arranged marriage and finally the first months of their life as husband and wife.  There is intrigue and suspense as well as villians and challenges.  Rosalind’s brother is scheming against her marriage to Milrick.  Both Beata and Martin join together to protect Milrick and Rosalind from her brother’s plans.  Love, friendship and loyalty are all themes throughout this book.

Chula Stone weaves a plot full of spankings into her story.  While you may be reading this novel for the spanking scenes, it’s the love story of Milrick and Rosalind that will keep you turning the pages.

Though the lovely Lady Rosalind suffered both physical and verbal abuse from her father, she learns that Milrick’s discipline is nothing like the punishments she received from her father.  In fact, Milrick is nothing like her father at all, and she changes her mind about a life with the church instead of marriage (not that she is given a choice).  In the beginning, Sir Milrick isn’t sure Rosalind will be able to be a proper wife for him because she seems to be so disobedient, but he soon discovers that she is exactly what he needs in a wife.

I love the picture that the title of this book paints – Your Smile Come Morning.  Sir Milrick sums up his philosophy of spanking a woman with this simple request to Lady Rosalind.  Your Smile Come Morning is all he asks of his lady.

If you’re looking for a historical spanking story with plenty of romance, read Sir Milrick and Lady Rosalind’s love story, Your Smile Come Morning.

This story is a bit different from the norm in that it is written as a dialogue. For example, this is from Sunday Afternoon on Wilhelmina Dreams:

Her: [she goes and sits on his knee] That okay?

Him: Mmhmm. Actually no, how about you lie over my lap instead.

Her: [she moves to lie over his lap] Better?

The entire story is like that.  It’s fun and playful, yet sexy and erotic too.  Have you ever just wanted your man to be a bit more dominant?  Well that’s what this woman is after, but he takes it into his own hands.  Which is what she really wanted anyways, right?

Read Sunday Afternoon, I think you’ll like it.
