Welcome to Saturday Spankings. Celebrating the launch of A Strict Gentleman with a snippet. My new Victorian romance has Kelly, a museum curator, travelling to and from the 1880s where she spends time with Sir Henry. She is finding out all about Henry’s fascination with spanking.
***
From his stash of implements, Henry selected the riding crop. He snapped the tongue against his calf and pointed at the end of the bed. “Bend over there, please.”
Lordy, he meant business—Kelly would rather it was his hand and the intimacy of his lap.
“Can’t you—”
The sharp stab of his glare hushed her suggestion.
With her hands outstretched, she bent over the bed and stuck out her legs behind her, balancing on the tips of her toes. “Like this?”
“Perfect.”
Henry tapped the crop along her thighs, up toward her raised bottom, and circled it around each lobe. The tapping stopped and she braced herself. He’d not said how many. Should she ask?

Always a tricky question – do you keep count?
Twenty-three-year-old Kelly Regan didn’t expect much excitement when she took a job as a curator at a historic estate, but upon encountering a beautiful, mysteriously powerful mirror she suddenly finds herself transported back to the Victorian era.
Kelly is intrigued by the estate’s owner, the handsome bachelor Sir Henry Yarlswood, and in order to learn more about life in his household she impersonates another woman and obtains a position as his maid. But Henry is not a man who tolerates dishonestly from his staff, and after her deception is discovered Kelly’s bottom is bared for a painful, embarrassing spanking.
The stern punishment only increases Kelly’s desire to know more about her handsome employer, but after she is caught snooping through his personal effects she is promptly stripped naked for an even more shameful chastisement. Despite her sore bottom, however, she is deeply aroused by Henry’s firm-handed dominance, and when he claims her properly his masterful lovemaking leaves her spent and satisfied. But will their blossoming romance be enough to keep her by his side, even if it means leaving her old life behind forever?

5 * Amazon Review:
Whenever Jaye Peaches releases a new book it’s always an automatic one-click for me. This time, I hesitated momentarily because I don’t typically enjoy time travel. I do, however, love how she writes in a historical setting. I took a chance and was not disappointed. Far from it – I was captivated. Three genres – time travel, historical and contemporary – blend seamlessly. Kelly and Henry are bold and refreshing characters, the plot suspenseful and gripping. The spanking scenes are scorching hot with the underlying emotional connection that makes them not only steamy, but satisfying. Once again, Jaye Peaches delivered a romantic, engaging and sexy tale that I highly recommend.
I see her dilemma. She would really like to know, but I don’t think it would be best to ask. I do love the crop.
Should she ask? Never!!!!!!! Great snippet!
I’d say she could ask, but she’d best be prepared not to care for his answer. Usually, it’s “Until I determine you’ve learned your lesson.” Not a comforting answer by any means.
Always a dilemma, asking often doesn’t pay!
