Sweet Discipline

I really liked the premise of this bdsm story--girl goes to a spa to lose a little weight and ends up with a new man. And what an alpha male he is! I would like to meet one of these guys, myself. But the story was really good and intellignet and really drew me in. I have to say this is a keeper. Read it, read it, read it! Also liked and would recommend---Breaking the Girl and Eager to Please: Two Erotic Novels of Submission.

Sweet Discipline starts out with Norris Brownell jealous of her friend Kendra and her svelte new body. Kendra had recently come back from a new spa called Sweet Discipline, some twenty five pounds lighter, and now Norris wants to try. Norris has gone to countless spas and gone through numerous diet and exercise regimes only to fall off the wagon after a few months. What's she's lacking is discipline, so she thinks this new spa sounds like just what she needs. Kendra insists the methods Sweet Discipline use are confidential and if she wants to go through the program, she'll have to sign the contracts blindly and just accept the fact they'll have her best interests in mind. Norris, happily optimistic that she'll lose some weight and get that cute office guy to finally notice her, walks into Sweet Discpline having no idea what's in store. Her trainer, Adrian, was not what she had in mind. First off, he's a man, and second, he's gorgeous and a domineering bully. He strips her and tells her all the things that are wrong with her, both mind and body. He reveals to her all the weaknesses about herself and she resents him for it. She'll show him, she thinks. After the first few sessions, her resistance melts away though, as do the unwanted pounds. As Adrian is conditioning her body, he's also conditioning her mind, making her more pliant and responsive. He introduces herself to the woman she's been all along. While his methods would surely raise the eyebrows of the Better Business Bureau, not to mention the police, they are most effective. Adrian sets goals for her and she meets every single one. Once she sees the results in the mirror and within herself, Norris begins to look forward to Adrian's punishingly effective sessions. After awhile, not even Adrian is immune to the new svelte and confident Norris and their training sessions start to grow more personal and erotic. When the contract for her stay at Sweet Discipline is almost over, Norris doesn't want to leave, but she's also afraid that she's just another client to him. Even Kendra was trained by Adrian. Or was she? Adrian reveals to her that he has both a public persona and a private life and she desperately wants to believe that she was special. Norris embarks on a new exploration of her psyche and her sexuality in a hot, kinky story that will leave you aching to sign up for some sweet discipline of your own. Norris was kind of a haughty brat when she first starts out in Sweet Discipline but Adrian quickly cures her of all ills. His expertise in getting her to care for her body made me wish he was my physical trainer and his expertise in getting her to widen her areas of sexual exploration made me wish he was more than my physical trainer. While it was outlandish and ridiculous to believe that Norris would submit to this treatment, it was a strong indicator of her submissive side that allowed Adrian to completely take over her body and mind. Norris spends a lot of time alone, thinking about h

Bonnie Hamre has found a sexy way to lose weight...discipline. Norris Brownelle is a woman at the top, and at the bottom. She is a highly successful management consultant who has thrown all of her time and energy into her business.The result being, she is tired, overweight, manless, and her list of clients isn't growing. She can't manage herself, let alone convince people that she can teach them how to manage. One meal with her best friend changes all of that. When Norris is currious about her friend's new look and obvious sex appeal, she learns about a spa where new images are created, a place that teaches discipline. Even though discipline isn't Norris' strong suit,after trying every diet known to man (or woman), she knows this is her last chance at weight loss. After signing into the spa and meeting her hot male trainer, Adrian, an unsuspecting Norris learns what true discipline is. Meow! If you enjoy reading about bondage and discipline (without the s/m) obviously resulting in earth shaking sex, this is a book for you. If not...pick another title.

Excellent book. This is my first time reading this author and I will be first in line for her next book. The excerpt from the back cover did not do this book justice. At first I was a bit turned off by the idea of exercise and weight loss in a romance book but this author pulled it off. Talk about one hunky guy and a very determined chick. But this book is 100% alpha male with BDSM to boot. It's hot and kinky. You definitely will not be disappointed with this book. If you like a man to be in control then this book is for you. A cover to cover read......

It's no secret that I'm a fan of Ms Hamre's work. I think I've read all her books and wait eagerly for the next release. She always manages to capture my attention and pull me into the story. That happened with this story too but I was at first overwhelmed by the harder, sexier edge to this story of a woman who wants to lose weight for both personal and professional reasons (what woman doesn't want to change her physical appearance?) and gets help with a spa program, complete with a handsome trainer and a rigorous program. Sounds pretty much the norm, doesn't it? But as the heroine, Norris, finds out, Sweet Discipline is a spa like no oher, and the program Adrian customizes for her isn't advertized in the spa's brochure. After I got my breath back, I couldn't devour this book fast enough. Norris and Adrian fascinated me, and as both work to achieve their joint and individual goals, all I could do was hang on and turn another page. Very much recommended!
