I'm excited to have a sneak preview of Maggie Carpenter's newest release, The Stuntman to drool over today.
Wait, let me stare at the cover for a few more seconds.
Ooo-eee, do you see the abs on that man? And that tat! <sigh>
The chest and abs had me right away, but the take charge dominant demeanor, mm, mm, mm... Maggie is an expert at creating drool-worthy, pulse racing, rapid breathing, panty-melting alpha male characters and Blake does not disappoint.
Let's jump in with a yummy excerpt right off the bat...
Taking hold of her cuffed wrists he jerked her
forward, positioning her so her upper body was resting on the bed, but her feet
were still on the floor.
“Do you have anything to say for
yourself?”
“I know I was wrong. I’m used to doing
things myself, I mean, I, uh, oh, Blake, I don’t know what I mean,” she
whimpered, “but I do know I was wrong.”
“You’re not used to having to answer to
someone, truly answer,” he declared. “That’s who I am, little girl, I’m someone
you’ll have to answer to. You understand that?”
“Yes, Sir.”
“I meant what I said the other night.
I’ll be your Dominant, but I told you I’d exact discipline if you disobeyed me,
and what did you today?”
“I disobeyed you, Sir,” she breathed.
“I didn’t hear you.”
“I disobeyed you, Sir,” she lamented,
“and I’m sorry. I thought I was doing the right thing.”
“Ah, and there you have it. That’s what
I’ve been waiting for. You knew taking those risks was defying me, but you
thought it was the right thing so you did it anyway. Lesson number one, defying
me, especially when it’s something I’ve been crystal-clear about, is never,
ever, the right thing.”
As he finished speaking they heard the
sound of the powerful motorbike leaving the garage, and Blake lifted his hand
and brought it down with a powerful swat.
“Repeat what I just said.”
“OW! Defying you is never, ever, the
right thing,” she wailed.
“Correct,” he said smacking her
opposite cheek then bouncing back to the first. “Say it again.”
“OW, OW. Defying you is never, ever,
the right thing.”
“You can yell and scream all you want,
there’s no-one to hear you, and I’ll be happy to listen to the results of my
discipline while I watch your bottom turn red. You deserve every swat I land,
don’t you, Belinda?”
“Ooh, yes, Sir. When I was writing
those notes I knew it was a dangerous thing to do, and when I had my phone in
my hand to take his picture, I thought I was going to drop it I was shaking so
bad,” she confessed in a plaintive wail. “I deserve this spanking, I do. I’m
impulsive, and I do foolish things without thinking them through.”
“Good girl for admitting all that,” he
said smoothing his hand over her cheeks. “We’re going to work on that problem,
beginning right now.”

The blurb:
Though
she has been in a relationship with a Dominant more than once, Belinda has
learned the term, Dominant, is a generic label, and she aches for the real
thing; a man who is comfortable in his own skin and won’t hesitate to take her
in hand. When Blake Berenson comes into her life, she believes her prayers have
been answered.
When
Blake tells her he is a stuntman her heart sinks. Having been a nurse in a
trauma center for several years, the sight of broken bones and bloody injuries
is becoming too much, but in spite of her misgivings, the spark between them
fiercely crackles, and she quickly finds herself over Blake’s knee. He is
everything she has dreamed of, and she falls hard for the handsome daredevil.
One
night a famous screenwriter is brought into the trauma center. When his private
secretary, a stern, officious man, asks her to be the patient’s private nurse
she is tempted to accept, but Blake, having heard scary rumors about the writer
and his palatial mansion in the hills above Malibu, is firmly against it.
Belinda
is torn.
Will
Belinda defy Blake, the Dominant she’s crazy about who doesn’t hesitate to
spank her soundly, who fills her nights with blindfolds and ropes, and takes
her to giddy heights of passion? Will she risk all she has with her hunky,
amorous stuntman for a stranger? And what about Blake? Will he put his foot
down, or will he use his strength, his cunning and his courage to help her?
