Blurb:
Kelly Evans is nearly six months pregnant when
her Dom husband, Jim, suggests they invite their closest friends over for a
private New Year's Eve party. Just a friendly get together, nothing kinky, and
no champagne for either of the girls, since Kelly's friend, Tiffany, was a
month along further than she was. Given it's New Year's Eve, Kelly feels Jim's
no-champagne edict isn't fair, but Jim warns her if she goes against his
wishes, she will be punished. Though Kelly understands Jim's reasoning, she
still feels he's merely being over-protective, and as much as she loves him a
sip of champagne never hurt anyone. That is until now.

Only a bit?
"Help yourself to the hors d'oeuvres, folks.
They're Texas favorites."
"Are any of them spicy?" Kyle asked
Kelly when Jim strode toward the kitchen.
She shrugged. "Depends on whom you ask. For
Jim, they're all greenhorn safe. For me, the queso dip along with the Monterey
Jack and green chili eggrolls carry a punch. But the mushrooms are pretty mild.
Why?"
"Kyle…"
"Tiffany's stomach has been on the finicky
side of late. And since Jim's idea of hot would burn the roof off most people's
mouths, I thought I'd best check first."
"That wasn't necessary, Kyle," Tiffany
pouted. "I'm fine."
"Right. So, throwing up at all times of the
day is just a new hobby for you then, is it?"
"Not funny."
"No. It's not," he agreed as Jim
returned with their beverages.
"Somethin' up?" Jim asked after he
placed Kelly and Tiffany's drinks on coasters and handed Kyle his Heineken.
"Nah. We were just trying to decide if we'd
need a fire extinguisher on hand before we tried any of your appetizers."
Jim chuckled as he took a seat in an upholstered
armchair situated across from the couch. "The mushrooms are on the mild
side," he suggested. "I took your pansy taste buds into account
before I chose my selection."
Kyle sat in the chair closest to Jim's and took a
swig of his beer before he admitted, "It's not my taste buds that are in
question as much as Tiffany's stomach."
"Ah. Sorry, Tiffany. I didn't think."
"My stomach's fine, Jim. Thank you. Kyle is
being overly protective as usual. That's all."
"And rightfully so," Jim concurred
before taking a sip of his Jack Daniels. "You'd think you girls would be
pleased by the way your men looked after you."
"Sometimes what you do is indeed
pleasing," Kelly agreed. "Other times, however, you can be a bit of a
pain."
"Only a bit?" Jim murmured. "Looks
like I'll need to intensify my repertoire."

BIO
Although Kathryn is relatively new to the
spanking romance market, she is not new to stories where the hero spanks the
heroine. In fact, most of her novels have some sort of spanking in them.
However, even in Kathryn's novels where the hero firmly believes in using
spanking as a deterrent, he has no desire to cause the heroine injury and takes
no delight in hurting the woman of his heart. In fact, sometimes he finds
it extremely difficult to follow through on his threats or promises.
To date, all of her heroes are dominant, alpha
males who are extremely protective of the women they love. However, part
of that protectiveness includes the need for a certain amount of control.
They do not suffer defiance or disobedience lightly. Even so, these men
aren't infallible, and they do make mistakes, but love and respect will always
triumph in the end.
