The strict, older man makes her an offer...

When Betty is sent to her college advisor on a disciplinary matter, she doesn't expect Dr. David Bauer to scold her, make her stand in the corner, and propose marriage all within the hour. Yet that's exactly what happens, and out of desperation to escape her family's influence, the young coed finds herself saying yes to the handsome widower.

David is a strict man who has no compunction about baring his wife's bottom for a sound spanking, but he's also patient and caring. Betty feels blessed to be his wife, but she worries he views their union as nothing more than a marriage of convenience.

Will he ever truly love her, and how will he react to the shameful secret she's been keeping about her past?

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome short story - new favorite author!
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2016

This was my second book I read by this author and I have to say I am hooked. This story started off as convenience sakes to be married but both David and Betty quickly get deeper into each other. While David doesn't have really any secrets (in the plot at least), Betty has quite a few doozy's and because of the way her family and friends acted, I can understand her hesitance in telling David when they also barely know each other. Though I wish there was more closure on the family side (both Betty's and David's) this was a very enjoyable book to read. It has drama and very hot scenes. I loved this story.

The setting appears to be in the fifties and is a sweet story of a young woman endeavouring to be a dutiful daughter and a man trying to fit meet society's expectations. Some kinky elements with smacking and good lusty sex.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable

I thoroughly enjoyed this 1950's romance. The characters are well written and likable. The author does a good job of portraying Betty's insecurity over her past and David's understanding. Even though it is a short story, it feels complete (but I would have enjoyed a small epilogue to let us know how that characters fared).

If you have Kindle Unlimited, definitely borrow this book (it is kind of short for the purchase price).

4.0 out of 5 stars 1950's at its hottest
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2016
A short but super sexy sweet yet naughty romance from the wonderful Sue Lyndon this book is tad different as it is set 1950s so you have remember everything was different then but non the less you wont be able too put this riveting book down.

When Betty gets sent to her college adviser on a disciplinary matter, she could never have expected Dr. David Bauer to scold her, or for the matter making her stand in the corner, and after all that propose's marriage all within the spate of an hour. But that is exactly what happens, and out of utter need and desperation to get away from her family’s influence, Betty finds herself saying yes to the handsome widower's proposal.

David is rather a strict man but a fare one and he has no scruples in baring his wife’s behind for a spanking, but as firm as he is he is also a very patient and caring man. Betty feels o so blessed to be his wife, but she has these concerns that he just views their marriage as nothing more than a convenience.

Will he ever really love her, and how will he react when he learns of the secret that she has kept about her past?

I loved this book although it is not long but you get the right amount of everything character development setting the scene the romance even the tension it has it all which goes too show you what a great writer Miss Lyndon is.

I will admit i fell for David he was handsome caring strict... well everything you need and want in your fantasy man.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome short story!!!
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2017
This was an awesome short story. Although I tend more towards contemporary stories, I gave this one a chance and I am glad that I did. The writing was good and I there were no typos that stood out and distracted me from the story, as is the case with A LOT of books these days. Even though this was a short story the author did a good job at fleshing out the characters so that you got a good sense of who they were without overdosing on expositive dialogue which would have damaged the flow of the story.
I liked Betty's character and even though I am a modern woman myself, it was a testament to the author's skill that I actually felt Betty's pain when her secret finally came out. I appreciated David's character as well. He was a strong disciplinarian and head of his household without being a jerk, as is sometimes the case with the male leads in these stories.

All in all, I highly recommend this book. There's nothing revolutionary in this story, but sometimes we need a break from the revolution.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not light read. Heavy subjects in the book.
Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2016
It was okay for me, it was well written. Not light read at all. Heavy subjects discussed include teenage pregnancy, heroine shunned by her family and everyone around her, giving baby up for adoption, and DD & elements of ABDL relationship.

Heroine felt unloved and rejected. She was lost and alone. Hero works at school she attends and forms a DD relationship with the heroine. He also becomes like her papa. They use dirty talk include hero talking like a baby to her and heroine acting like little girl during "punishments". Love scenes well written. Heroine written as in need hero's discipline. She makes some pretty impulsive and irresponsible behaviors throughout the book. Hero patient and firm in his guidance and love. They were well matched. She blossomed under his care and in turn she grew as a person.

However there are secrets heroine is afraid to reveal to hero. What will he do when he finds out? What any loving papa would;) Ends in HEA.

Safe read. Not light read. No OW or OM. Heroine has had past relationship that caused scandal in high school. Hero single dad. Read book in my KU.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome & Amazing! Highly Recommended!
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2016
I loved and enjoyed reading the scorching, hot, tantalizing romantic story by the best selling author Sue Lyndon. I was captivated and engaged with the characters from the first until the last page and story line wonderfully written.
Betty is sent to live with her aunt and go to school to find a husband and continue her education. Betty meets the powerful, dominant David. David's wife passed away and he is raising a young child on his own and the school board wants him married or gone. David is attracted to the submissive, beautiful Betty and asks Betty to be his wife. A marriage of convenience becomes an explosion of sexual attraction and abounding feelings for each other. Betty is unsure whether to tell David the whole truth about her indiscretion.
Read the must read red-hot flaming and heartbreaking love story of Betty and David.
