A Firm Hand: 3 Country Brothers - 3 Kinky Fetishes (The Bedford Brothers Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 134 ratings

TYLER BEDFORD’S spanking fetish killed a long-term relationship and threatened to cause a scandal, so he now keeps his particular needs away from his small town, away from his family’s business and away from his heart.

MOLLY SILAS never lacked for affection. Children were raised and nurtured by everyone in the commune, yet she never felt special or loved just for herself. She treasures her nomadic life but isn’t proud that she flees from the prospect of a loving relationship.

Can the sexy country guy who believes he can’t have his kink and love as well, and the girl who runs from relationships share anything more than an appreciation for the erotic art of corporal punishment?

Their desires are a perfect match, but is that enough?

Review

Five stars : An enjoyable read with just the right combination of warmth, heat when needed and great characters I'd like to know. Loved this story and even though I knew how it would end, I kept reading wanting to know what occurred to get them to their HEA. A tough one to put down and am looking forward to the next one in this series.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

A sensualist and a romantic, Andra writes about heroes and heroines who veer from the mainstream to indulge their desires and find love. As a self-confessed genre-hopper, her erotic romances span historical, contemporary and paranormal.

Sending her Muse for spa days allows Andra to swap stilettos for work boots and turn her creativity to renovating houses. She sees it as a lot like writing. You start with something that's rough around the edges and pummel it into submission.

Andra lives in beautiful Melbourne (Australia) and hopes her adult children aren't too traumatized by having a mother who writes smutty stories.

    Wow Andra! What an absolutely intriguing story. You have managed to handle a particular subject with such finesse and insight, better than any previous author I've read; and thus enabling me to give this book a 5 star rating. Ty was drool worthy and yet a deep, loving, broken man so afraid to ever try exposing himself to ridicule and rejection ever again. I loved Molly's character and her open embrace of all life has to offer. Very enjoyable read!

    Wonderful story. I loved the story. A woman living on the road and a man who owns a ranch meet and fall in love. But can she give up her free wheeling lifestyle to settle in one place? I really enjoyed the characters and the interaction between them.

    I loved reading A Firm Hand(The Bedford Brothers Book 1)!!! All about Molly Silas a women in her late twenties living a nomadic lifestyle & Ty Bedford a cowboy horse rancher. Seems his mom brings lots of strays home, including Molly. Her bus broke down and she needed some place to stay while it’s fixed. She met Molly in the ranch store and over heard her predicament, and jumped right in with a solution. Read about Molly & Ty and the genuine attraction between the two!! This was a page turner from start to finish!! With lots of emotions flowing all over the place and including a few toe curling incidents!! Definite read!!!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great Story
    Reviewed in Canada on November 11, 2021
    I really enjoyed this story and one main reason is because even though there is instant attraction between the two, Ty and Molly, they don’t just as quickly hop into bed. This time it is the man who holds back. I was annoyed with Ty’s reaction to some very unexpected news but then thought he is just 25 and as the story went on it was apparent that it wasn’t just one lie involved but another much more hurtful one. Ty and Molly’s love story is a realistic and sweet one and I am looking forward to reading Blair’s story. Definitely recommend this one!

    Ty and Molly's upbringing are totally different and despite having an immediate attraction to one another, they are unsure about how to make a more meaningful relationship.
