Safe in His Arms

Safe in His Arms by Renee Rose

My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars


3.5 star feel good book!  This is a delicious domestic discipline (DD) story for those just getting into reading spankings and domestic discipline. Becca met the man who could finally bring her sexual fantasies to life and then he disappears.  She does keep a souvenir from him...a child.  Zac is a "ghost" who in an agency specializing in wet works.  He can't have any relationships because of his job.  He breaks some rules because things become personal.

This story from a suspense perspective is a bit weak.  It's still fine by me.  I don't read it for the suspense.  Read this story for good points about DD.  Because the characters, specifically Becca is a bit foolish.  There are a couple of Becca's actions which made me want to smack some sense into her.  Let's get to the good stuff.

“What if, instead of getting hung up on who is right and who is wrong, you just kept it in the realm of what you like from your man? What if you just decided you would obey me because it makes you wet to submit, not because I know better than you or I never make mistakes.” (p.91)

“I didn’t spank you because I’m right,” he said mildly.

Some of the remaining resistance in her fell away. “Why did you spank me?” she asked, expecting an answer about her temper tantrum, or disrespect.

“Because it calms you down so we can talk.”(p.134)

“I don’t spank you because I know better, or because I’m right. I spank you because you need it.” (p. 135)

THIS! For many people, they find it to be a parent/child relationship.  Sometimes people take exception to domestic discipline because they feel they are being "corrected".  Who does the guy think he is to always be right?  Does he get spanked if he makes a mistake? What Ms. Rose indicates here is definitely how I feel about DD and I just never knew how to put it into words.  At least this is how I think about domestic discipline even though I have no issues with being "corrected" like a child.  Yes, it's because I'm into ageplay too.  Where is my Daddy Dom?  I digress. 

This story is sweet and easy to read.  I read it in one sitting because I couldn't stop.  Where their some character flaws?  Yes.  Is it realistic in the flaws?  I would like to say no, but I've been seeing some really poor decisions in real life by people who should know better so I can't really say otherwise.

Recommended for kinky readers who are interested in domestic discipline.
