His Firm Direction Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 10 ratings

When she is offered the lead role in a bold, controversial new play by Axel Masters, the hottest off-Broadway director in the country, twenty-seven-year-old actress Cleo Martinelli is delighted. As rehearsals get underway, however, she finds herself having trouble getting into the mindset of her character, a woman whose firm-handed husband spanks her when she is disobedient.

After Cleo's difficulty playing her part convincingly leads to a public confrontation with Axel, she worries that she will be fired, but instead the handsome director calls her into his office, scolds her for her petulant attitude, and then suggests that she is in desperate need of the kind of stern correction the character she is struggling to play receives from her fictional husband.

To her surprise, being reprimanded like a naughty girl proves to be intensely arousing for Cleo, and soon enough she is lying over Axel's lap with her bare bottom exposed for a thorough spanking. His bold dominance leaves her begging to be taken long and hard, and a passionate romance quickly blossoms between them.

Cleo's new understanding of what it means to submit to a man's strict discipline pays off on stage, but as the positive reviews pour in she cannot help wondering what will happen to their relationship after the curtain falls on the last showing of the play. Is Axel truly in love with her, or does he see her as nothing more than an actress in need of his firm direction?

Publisher's Note: His Firm Direction includes spankings and sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I love reading erotica
    Reviewed in the United States on 21 July 2017
    A little secret. I love reading erotica. It titillates me, makes my fantasies steam. But I am not a kinkster. I watch from the outside. When I read a book by Alexis Alvarez, I want to be on the inside so badly, to feel what her heroines feel, to feel what kinksters can feel. And that's the biggest accolade I could give. Alexis writes "His Firm Direction" as if it had happened to her and she were closing her eyes and remembering. Every detail so precise. I can feel the slap of Axel's hand on Cleo's ass as she pushes up to welcome her punishment, as she grinds down on his leg wanting punishment and more. I can almost feel her explode when they come together on the sofa, in the bed, on the desk. I can feel the longing she has to give in to her love for him even when it feels hopeless. And I can feel it too as they fit her edges to his, her needs to his, as they click, when they realize their love is possible if they just reach out and claim it. I can feel it because Alexis paints every scene so finely, taking us with her into the characters' heads and hearts, making us believe she's been there, making us believe we're there seeing, watching. I love Cleo. I love Axel. I love "His Firm Direction." But I really love Alexis Alvarez and can't wait to read her next book and her next.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Smacking good fun
    Reviewed in the United States on 28 August 2017
    I love reading about a strong woman who isn't afraid to give voice to her desires. Even if those desires are outside the norm. Cleo never thought sexual submission would be something a strong woman should crave, Axel never thought sweet Cleo would be the woman that would restore his belief in love. They each find something in the other that fulfills and completes them. Hot, sweet, steamy, and oh, so sexy!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of tension and build up - loved it!
    Reviewed in the United States on 8 August 2017
    I loved, loved, loved this book! So much tension built up in the first few chapters that kept me wanting to read more! The story was realistic and really helped explain the BDSM dynamic - it is all a game that either person can end at any time. Can't wait to read more from this author.
