Review:

Alta Hensley’s follow up novel to “Traditional Love” is not entirely what I expected - in a good way. Many sequels and trilogies that use the same characters tend to be predictable replications of the first book in the series. Alta did a very good job with of staying in the spanking novel genre with the same characters, but with a fresh perspective in “Traditional Terms.”


Coley is the little sister of Caine, the male protagonist in the “Traditional Love.” She grew up surrounded by domestic discipline, but has never practiced it herself or believed she would be able to embrace it. The inner struggle she has with DD must be dealt with, however, when she falls for Caine’s best friend, Vance.


Vance is a strong believer in domestic discipline and pleads with Coley to accept it into their lives. When Coley finally agrees, Vance introduces her to the lifestyle with punishments that focus on submission rather than spanking:

 



Neely pulled out the pictures of the honeymoon and the wedding. The girls looked them over while the men went out back to start the meat on the BBQ. Coley loved looking at all the pictures, until she came across one of Sara and Travis at the wedding.


"Ugh, I hate that loony bitch!” Coley blurted.


“I know…but…the morning of the wedding we spoke, and I guess I saw another side of her,” Neely admitted, slightly uneasy.


“Have you lost your mind? This is the same fruit loop that bashed your head into the wall!”


“Coley, I promised Caine that I would try to get along with Sara -”


“Are you freakin’ kidding me? My brother must be just as insane as that batty witch Sara!” Coley interrupted, feeling her temper boil over. Neely opened her mouth to respond but was distracted as both men walked in laughing. They stopped in their tracks when they saw that Coley and Neely were having a less than harmonious conversation and obvious tension was written all over Coley’s face.


“What’s going on?” Caine asked.


“What the hell are you thinking? You want Neely to become best friends with Miss Psycho Sara!” Coley accused with fury in her green eyes.


“Coley…” Vance warned.


“What? Don’t tell me that you agree with Caine?” Coley looked around to all three with a mixture of shock and rage. “What the fuck! This bitch attacked Neely and you all think we should play nice! No fucking way!”


Caine looked at Neely with a raise of an eyebrow. Neely just shook her head. Vance walked up to Coley and placed the familiar hand on her bottom as a warning. “Coley, you need to stop. Now!” Coley moved her body away from Vance with an obvious defiant jerk.


“Well I’m sorry if I’m not going to let that crazy into my life. I don’t care what any of you say. She’s a certifiable mental case and I want nothing to do with her!”


Vance grabbed Coley by the hand and looked at Caine who was standing with a scowl on his face. “Excuse us for a moment.” Vance pulled Coley firmly and led them out of the kitchen. They walked into the bedroom and he closed the door behind him. Coley turned toward Vance and crossed her arms in a pout across her chest.


“You can’t possibly be mad at me for not agreeing to like that whack job Sara!”


“The way you are talking and acting is not okay. You’ve lost your temper. Plus, the way you pulled away from me was not acceptable,” Vance spoke in a calm but firm voice.


Coley kept her arms crossed. “I’m not changing my mind, Vance. I hate the loon. Plain and simple.”


“Coley, I’m not asking you to change your opinion. I am expecting, however, for you to conduct yourself in a calmer manner.” He walked closer and began to lower her pants.


“What…what are you doing? You aren’t going to spank -”


“No, I’m not at this time. Lower your pants and bend over the dresser. Do it, or I will spank you right now. Your choice,” Vance softly commanded.


Coley knew that Vance meant every word he said. If he said he would spank her, then she knew he would. She finished lowering her pants and bent over as directed, unsure of what was to come. Arousal began to overpower her temper. Vance came up behind and pressed his index finger into her vagina and pumped it in and out a few times collecting her moisture. He moved his finger to her anus and without pause, pushed it all the way in. Coley gasped at the stinging intrusion. Vance moved his lips to her ear and whispered, “You were losing your temper and losing control. You refused to listen to my warning.” He pulled his finger out slightly and pressed it back in with a little more force. “Have I got your attention?”


Coley could barely gasp out, “Yes.” Submission was coursing through her body, and she could feel any remnants of temper leaving her completely. Vance’s display of dominance, control and authority made Coley weak in the knees. Any doubt if this lifestyle would work for her…for them, was squashed at that moment. Never before had things in a relationship seem so right.


“Vance, I’m sorry. I’ll behave…I promise.” She struggled for breath as she felt the penetration of his finger. The intimate intrusion was like a button being pressed that controlled her emotions. She wanted nothing more than to do as Vance wished. The submissiveness was foreign, yet welcomed. She had heard of other men in the lifestyle using this method as a way to calm or regain the power dynamic. She knew of it, but never thought it would happen to her, or even that she would allow it to happen. What was even more surprising was that she liked it. She liked feeling her anger leave her body and know that the man, who was now softly kissing her neck, had the dominance to do so. Never had she found a man so attractive, so sexy and so absolutely alpha.


Vance pressed his finger in a little deeper before softly directing, “I don’t want you to talk about Sara like that, regardless of how you feel. Are we clear?” He waited until Coley nodded her head. “I love you so much, baby. Let’s go out there and continue the amazing night you’ve created.” He pulled out his finger and pulled Coley into his arms and kissed her softly.

 



My biggest critism of “Traditional Terms” is that there just weren’t too many actual spanking scenes. They discussed spanking throughout the book, but there were very few discipline based spanking scenes to speak of.


“Traditional Terms” was chock full of punishments that were alternatives to spanking and sexual spanking scenes, however. Alta certainly introduces a few uncommon methods of discipline that certainly elicit submission.


All in all, I think Alta Hensley did a great job with “Traditional Terms.” If you want to escape into a world where DD is discussed openly and practiced by many and you want to explore various alternatives to spanking, then go no further – “Traditional Terms” is the book for you.

This novella was so good! I love how Traditional Terms picks up partway through Traditional Love, so we get to see what went on behind the scenes with Coley and Vance...and boy was it hot! Coley's not a stranger to the idea of Domestic Discipline, but at first she doesn't think she could submit to a man that way. She struggles with this, along with her fear of being hurt in a relationship, throughout the book. She also has a hard time expressing her feelings, and this leads to some misunderstandings between her and Vance. Fortunately, they work through their problems (after a lot of pining) and this erotic romance novella has a perfect happy ending. Now, I'm sure a reviewer will come along eventually and say that this book was "too preachy" or "reads like a handbook" for DD relationships, and I'm going to speak up and disagree in advance. I don't think this book would make as much sense if it weren't for the explanations about this topic, and I felt like reading about Coley and Vance's feelings about DD really made them come alive as characters. If you like some spanking (and hot sex and extremely hot anal play) with your romance, I definitely recommend giving this one a try. **Review from amazon.com

I have to admit. Traditional Love by Alta Hensley was the first erotic book I have ever read. Saying that....I could not wait for Traditional Terms to come out. Neely's best friend finds love and romance in this follow up book. Alta Hensley will have you sweating and wanting more as you can't turn the pages quick enough. Great book!!!! **Review from amazon.com

I have been waiting for what feel like forever for the next instalment of this series and I wasn''t disappointed. This book may have been a novella and left me wanting more but it was because it was so good I didn't want it to end. This story intertwines in places with Traditional Love which I thought worked really well. Coley's fiery character and Vance relationship was WOW and the sex scenes were scorching so be warned. I highly recommend this book :) **Review from amazon.com

I visited a gdaren center in Ohio last summer and in talking with them I found out that they use a product called Eight (not Seven) for the bugs on their pumpkin plants. The eight kills and repels the bugs that eat the stems of the squash related plants. I have use it this summer on my acre of pumpkin and squash plants and have not had a single bug problem. I purchase the concentrate and mix it in a pump sprayer and spray the plants every few weeks especially the new growth and again at the base of the plant to repel those pesky bugs. If you get on the internet and look up Eight you can find a store in your area that sells it. I have all my gdarening friends hooked on this product. It works great on the japenese beetles also.
