About this ebook

After the death of her family and the loss of her home, Beth finds herself in London, in a desperate situation which leads to a reckless act. Tom Reed, who is a master blacksmith, feels bound to teach her a memorable lesson about recklessness, even if this means taking her over his knee in a crowded square. 

Both the lesson and the man who delivered it are hard to forget, and Beth comes to see that the stern master blacksmith may be the one who can aid her in her hour of need. The only choice she has left is to become his woman, although he vows he will not be lenient with her if she behaves badly. 

Tom Reed’s ways are not only harsh, but gentle at times, and soon Beth begins to yearn not only to be touched by his strong hands, but also to find out the secrets mirrored in his dark eyes.

This is book two in Her Stern Husband series and can be enjoyed independently.

Publisher Notes: This historical romance is intended for adults only and contains elements of danger, suspense, sensual scenes and power exchange.

Ratings and reviews

This is a book I would recommend that you read and judge for yourself. I know it was a period piece and Tom treated Beth better than other men. He also respected her more than other men AND woman. It made me both sad and angry because in 2021 there are STILL people treating women with the same type of contempt, disdain, and dismissive news that Beth had to endure. I did like the times that Tom was appreciative, supportive, and respectful. I also liked that he really cared for Beth. This book also had romance and an HEA. I would give it 3.5 stars I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

A match made over an anvil. Until Tom Beth had found men to difficult to deal with for she was a beautiful woman and they were greatly attracted to her. When she met Tom Beth's life was a horrible mess. Not one but two men had done everything they could to ruin her name. After the death of her family, she is forced to leave home because of man and then she is unable to work because of another man. Then she meets Tom and things start to change. The characters were awesome in this piece. Tom is sweet and sexy but also very much a dominant male. Beth is smart, funny and is strong-willed and the boys they are rascals. I really enjoyed reading the book it is a well planned book set in the medieval time period. I am happy to recommend it. I did receive a free copy of this book from Booksprout and voluntarily chose to review it.
