Today, I have one of my favorite authors on my blog! Welcome back Miss Amelia Smarts, a true genius when it comes to weaving together a romantic story in a Western setting.
I've already one-clicked mine - y'all should do the same. Amelia's new book, just released, is called
The Submissive Suffragette
and it's the first book in the
Lone Star Love Series.
Enjoy!
About the Lone Star Love Series
My
latest release is part of my Lone Star
Love series with Blushing Books.
While writing The Unbraiding of Anna
Brown, about lonely widower Carter and sweet, plainspoken Anna who lights
his way out of a dark depression, I came to understand the woman Carter was
mourning. Carter's first wife, Nalin, was sharp, feisty, and different from
Anna in just about every way. I felt that Nalin and Carter deserved their own
story, which led me to write The
Submissive Suffragette, Book One in the series. Missy Meets the Marshal (Book Three) is as much an action and
adventure story as it is a spanking romance. In it you'll find villains, bounty
hunters, murder, and a conscientious lawman who makes a life-altering choice to
follow his heart instead of the law. And while these three books do make up a
series, they can each be read and enjoyed as standalones. I hope you enjoy
reading these books as much as I enjoyed writing them!
About The Submissive Suffragette
It’s
the late 1800s and women are beginning to fight against the accepted roles of
submissive housewife and mother. The suffragette movement is gaining ground.
Nalin is one of these women. She is a devoted wife to Carter, and desperately
longs for motherhood. But she is struggling to balance those desires with her
belief that women need to be equal to men, and this starts, to her way of
thinking, with the right to vote. She begins defying all the normal conventions
– she wears pants instead of skirts to town, she cusses, she talks back to her
husband. The consequences of her actions are that Carter takes a firm hand to
her backside.
Carter, on the other hand, has always been quite happy with the status quo and is becoming more and more frustrated with Nalin’s constant defiance of all things considered lady-like. He has even come to believe that disciplining his recalcitrant wife is pointless. But her reaction to this declaration confuses them both.
Carter and Nalin both want children, but have so far suffered more than one devastating loss. They are both thrilled when Nalin again becomes pregnant. However, now she’s demanding to attend the suffragette convention in Dallas. Carter loves his wife, so despite his initial reservations, he agrees to see her safely to the convention and back again.
Their adventure takes a few twists and turns along the way. Will this couple safely and successfully navigate their way through these turbulent times and find the happily ever after they both deserve?

Excerpt
“Stop distracting us from our reading. We were just getting
to ‘The Subjugation of Women’ by Mr.
John Mill before you so rudely interrupted. Weren’t we, Anna?”
“Yes. She's right, Mr. Barnes,” the girl confirmed,
asserting her loyalty to his wife.
Still frowning, Nalin continued to boss him. “Anna made a
pie. It’s on the counter. Why don’t you busy yourself with eating it and leave
us to our book learning.” She straightened her back and sat back down.
“Yes, ma’am!” He sauntered to the kitchen, then turned when
he arrived at the counter. “Honey, what does ‘subjugation’ mean?”
Nalin let out an annoyed sigh. “It means to overpower and
subdue. You should read occasionally. It’s a common word,” she informed him in
a clipped, condescending tone.
Carter smirked. “I see. Thanks for explaining that to your
ignorant husband, and in such a patient manner too.” He walked back to her.
In less time than it would have taken for her to read the
essay’s opening sentence, Carter wrestled Nalin into a belly-down position on
the couch. He clasped her wrists together behind her back in one of his hands
and held a fistful of her hair in his other.
“Just so as I understand, does it mean something like this?”
Carter asked her, his voice as sweet as honey.
The girls shrieked with laughter, while Nalin squirmed and
protested furiously using her sharp tongue.
"Why you breachy, beef-headed scalawag! I'll give you a
lacing that'll make you buzzard bait before you can sing 'skip to my Lou'. Let
me loose this instant."
Carter chuckled. “Tsk, tsk, little firecracker. That’s
awfully gritty language for a lady in your current position. You might at least
attempt to be biddable now.”
"Go boil your shirt," Nalin snapped, then laughed
for some time without being able to stop. She finally cleared her throat and
said as sternly as she could,
“Carter, let me up. I mean it.”
“You must admit something first.”
“What?” she demanded.
“Admit you like subjugation at the hands of your
husband.”

About Amelia
Smarts
#1 Amazon Bestseller in
Historical Erotica and Erotic Westerns!
I'm an author of romance novels
featuring domestic discipline/spanking. Usually my stories involve a cowboy,
and they always involve a man's firm hand connecting with a woman's naughty
backside. It's important to me that I tell a good story in addition to
portraying hot sex and discipline scenes. I write complex, flawed heroes and
heroines who struggle and succeed in their journey to love and happiness.
I hold graduate and
undergraduate degrees in creative writing and English, and I love the written
word. If you'd like to talk books with me, feel free to drop me a note at amelia_smarts@yahoo.com. Happy reading!
