Bella Bryce's latest blog posts
I participate in #SatSpanks, the Saturday morning blog hop for the lovely ladies and gentlemen who like their coffee with a touch of discipline. Or alot. It depends on the author you're visiting! "The Courting" This week's regulation-eight-lines from the third book in the Waldorf Manor series, releasing early February 2014. "The Courting" is a domestic discipline and sweet blush novel set against the backdrop of stunning Waldorf Manor and Barton-Court House. Elisabeth Warner moves to Waldorf Manor as her and Bennett Fowler begin courting. He sets out the rules and boundaries of their relationship, making it clear that her transition from charge to 'lady of his life' doesn't mean a change by far. Elisabeth discovers Bennett's formality and discipline in their courtship has stolen her heart as her affections grow. Excerpt from Chapter 6 “This will be the last time I have to correct you for using sensual language before we’re married, do you understand?” Bennett said, his long and lean stature still holding Elisabeth securely over his knee. “Yes, Sir,” Elisabeth replied, her pain tolerance fully weakened. She bit her tongue and took the rest of her punishment silently, except for subtle crying toward the end. Bennett replaced her knickers, tights, pulled her pinafore down, then walked her to the corner next to his fireplace. “Put your hands on your head,” he said, from right behind her. Elisabeth looked up in hesitation but a simple raised eyebrow from Bennett encouraged her to obey. It was understood that only children folded their hands on their head when facing the wall. “Stand up straight. Not a word,” Bennett told her.

A strict taskmaster. 1/2/2014 01:31:34 am
Sensual language? I want to know what naughty thing she said! :) Great excerpt, Bella:) 3/2/2014 12:28:52 am
Okay Suzy-Q, for you I will tell you what she said . . . Elisabeth said ''that doesn't help me refrain from wanting to throw myself at you, Sir." He had been telling her of his days as Head Boy at school and it was making her giggle and it slipped out. Later on, Elisabeth asks if she can undo his waistcoat - of course he has a shirt and tie beneath it so it isn't THAT naughty, but to Bennett, that is a huuuuuuuuuuuge no no :) 3/2/2014 12:29:44 am
Oh yes, hands folded on top of the head. It's an English corner-time thing :) 1/2/2014 02:20:56 am
This conjures images of a strict Mr. Darcy. And that's a good thing. 3/2/2014 12:31:04 am
Bennett is a little bit like Mr Darcy actually! I hadn't thought of that! It's a shame Mr Darcy is so passive *eye roll* LOL <3 3/2/2014 12:32:17 am
Hi Ashe, thanks for popping by! If you scroll up a wee bit to where Sue Lyndon posted I replied with what Elisabeth said ;) 1/2/2014 02:58:22 am
Okay, now I want to know what she said :) Loved your first two books, so, of course, I look forward to this one coming out! Thanks for sharing. 3/2/2014 12:33:30 am
Hi Shelly, lovely to see you on my blog! Aww, I'm so pleased you're a fan of the series! I hope you enjoy the last two books before I move on to my other titles. Waldorf has been such good fun to write :) 1/2/2014 07:08:07 am
Oh the poor, girl. Whatever did she do? 3/2/2014 12:34:41 am
Hee hee! Scroll up to Sue Lyndon's comment - I replied with what Elisabeth said :)

Bennett's tone is like that - lovely and stern and confusingly delicious. LOL. Lovely of you to stop by Joelle <3 1/2/2014 08:34:59 am
Ooh, standing in the corner with her hands on her head....very naughty.

Oh yes! But not even half as naughty as Alice!! That girl is always in trouble, Elisabeth is the well behaved one! 1/2/2014 11:51:14 am
Wonderful snippet. Very hot. I love stern and no nonsense and corner time.

Oh well then! If you like stern and no nonsense then you will love Bennett Fowler! He is extremely stern - somewhat over the top in book 1 (which I did on purpose) to highlight how love changes him. He doesn't soften, but he becomes more realistically stern rather than harsh-stern. Have you read either of my first two books? :) 1/2/2014 02:14:43 pm
I like a stern man, but I'm with the rest, I need to know more... :) grrr never enough time!

Peppermint Patty! Scroll up to where Sue Lyndon posted and see my reply and I reveal what Elisabeth said :) 2/2/2014 12:47:38 am
What a sweet snippet. I love the raised eyebrow line. Many of my male characters do similar quirky things with their eyebrows - it goes so well with *that certain look*. Thanks for sharing.

Wait a minute . . . is this Abigail of ''Abbie'' - the Abbie who left the review of ''The Solicitation'' on Blushing Books?? (the one that flattered and humbled me to tears) If this is you, please say so!

Ooh, that last line sent little shivers down my spine. He's not to be messed with. I do hope Elizabeth is a fast learner. - And more cautious of her tongue too :D (Come on spill, what did she say?)

Mammy! I love when you come visit my wee blog!! Huzzah! 4/2/2014 11:08:25 am
I loved this snippet Bella. There's something about that formality isn't there? :) 5/2/2014 02:43:28 pm
Her pain tolerance fully weakened? I suspect they've been at this for a while, then, and I'm sure she really wants to rub the part that hurts her the most, but it's "hands on the head" time. Poor thing. No sensual language for her until after they say their "I do's." Love the snippet, Bella. I'll have to look for this one. Leave a Reply. |
