Benedict's Commands (Bridal Discipline) Paperback – October 24, 2017

...but...ma'am you're killing me. The English title is Marchioness....Otherwise adorable and superb as always. Still well worth reading even if I had to mentally replace a word 100 times

Christina had already had one bad marriage. There was no way she would ever trust her heart to another man. But Benedict had other sentiments concerning the young widow. They had been lovers, but she had ended it before Christmas. Waiting for the season to start, Benedict had to face his true feelings about Christina. He didn't know how, but she was the most important thing of his life. He told her of his feelings and she scoffed at him. His interest in her would wait if she ignored him. But he purposefully singled her out in public, declaring his feelings for her. He did everything he could think of but enough was enough. After she was caught in the garden with a known rake, his patience was gone. He huddled her into his carriage and off they went. You will have to read the book to find out what happens when she wakes up. I love gothic romances with spankings in involved. They can be quite delightful. This Is definitely a beautiful series of love stories who have happily ever after endings. You will Not get hurt buying this series. I dare you to read these books and not enjoying them.

Ms Angel is one of my favorite authors! I just love her writing style and the way she makes me see her characters as real people.This story is about Benedict(the hero's brother from Lydia's Penance) and Christina. The story starts with Benedict being broke up with(which was lots of fun, since the guys usually do this). It fast forwards a few weeks and we find out that Benedict has realized that he's fallen in love with Christina.Christina is a widow who enjoys her independence. She also enjoys choosing her own lovers and not depending on a man's whim. She's been in an unhappy marriage and doesn't want a repeat performance. As you can see Benedict has his work cut out for him. Fortunately for us he doesn't give up in the face of adversity so we'll enjoy some funny scenes, some displays of jealousy and some steamy making up scenes.I enjoyed catching up with past characters, I'm kind of tempted to reread the whole series really. I'm also curious to learn more of Arabella and, hopefully, the Marquise of Hrtford(Michael). All in all this was a lovely addition to the series with Ms Angel's usual attention to detail and plain fun.PS: This book, as all the series, has domestic discipline scenes.

Christina loved her husband and he cheated on her. She found out when he died running from the husband of his mistress. It devastated her and she no longer trusts that a man won't break her heart. She had lovers and when she starts to develop feelings she breaks it off.Benedict is not pleased when she ends their affair. He realizes he loves her and wants to marry her. Convincing her will be difficult. He starts courting her but she doesn't believe that he won't get tired of her.This is a steamy book with lots of spankings. Benedict introduces her to this erotic behavior and she loves it. If only he could spank her until she trusted him this would be easy.

4.5 stars rounded up. Golden Angel delivers another thoroughly enjoyable and delightful romp through upper class British society in the 19th century. I really like the change in heroine to a sexually experienced young widow who is already carrying on a BDSM relationship with the hero. Instead of the usual clash of personalities, we have a woman afraid of commitment. The characters are well drawn and I like that the minor characters reappear from book to book, having each had their own story, or being prepped for their own story. The epilogue here sets up the couple for the next book.It's good to see Golden Angel's writing improve from book to book, but my one quibble is that the line editing is still not adequate. It's not uncommon for there to be sentence fragments and missing words, or sometimes words that shouldn't be there. The use of noble titles is not consistent and not always accurate. The feminine of Marquess is usually Marquise. Marchesa is the Italian form and I don't know what Marchesse is. I don't mean to be pedantic, but a story flows better for me with better attention to detail.

Lady Christina Rowan does not become entangled. She cuts loose any man that tries to get to close. Love, not ever again! Not after her disastrous first marriage! Benedict is having fun times with the Lady Christina. Well that is until she cuts the ties and leaves him with nothing but a note. Well Lady Christina had better have another think because she just did something to make Benedict realize that he wanted more than just a quick romp. He wants her for the rest of his life. These two have some hot sexy erotic scenes together! I loved the details that Angel puts in her books. The main characters and the secondary characters are all well developed. The details all fit together between this and throughout the series. As with the other books Angel sets up the next book in this series at the end of the current book. Which makes me glad I have it and don’t have to wait! Now I can’t wait to read the next book!

Book 4 in the series and it star Benedict. Isaac and Arabella's brother.Benedict is quite taken by Christina, but she leads him on a merry chase. well not actually merry in Benedict's eyes. he becomes quite frustrated and decides to take matters in his own hands.It a wonderful funny, sweet and very sensual book. It was also wonderful catching up with all the other couples.

Well written and an exceptional story. Benedict has well beyond by getting Christina time trust him so that they could marry. Christian had a first marriage .where her husband cheated on her which caused her to not trust and not to marry again. but Benedict proved to her that all she needbed was him . Would highly recommend this sSeries and author.

It is fab and rare to read a regency/victorian where a woman has enjoyed sex previous to the story! two sex positive characters enjoying light to mid sub/dom play and a compelling story and character arc...devoured in one sitting, buying the next in series, may not sleep tonight!

This is another brilliantly crafted story that continues this great series. The characters in this steamy story full of fetish interludes, are amazingly portrayed, and have to rally around to protect one of their own.

I love this series and this book. It's highly addictive. Ms Angel is a brilliant author. I follow her series. The characters are very well written, very human and well developed. The storyline is very interesting and easy to read. There is spankings and hot spicy sex. But there is also lots of love and support. I really enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to the next one. I highly recommend it.

I think this must be the 8th book in this series of books about love and lust between the ruling classes. Each book has been full of naughty scandalous scenes and erotic and touching love affairs. I really like how the author brings in characters from the earlier books. Benedict is a fitting alpha male addition to the gorgeous bossy and dominant men who feature in all these series. An excellent storyline and I can't wait for the next one.

I just love Golden Angel"s historic erotic novels, and this one is really good. Well drawn characters and a good plot. Christina, a widow, who had an unhappy marriage. She takes lovers but always ensures that she remains in control and remains detached. When she starts to feel an attachment to Benedict she ends the relationship, but he doesn't give up. A great story - highly recommended.
