In need of a little discipline
Desire for Discipline Collection by Isabella Kole contains three full length book – Accepting His Terms, Submitting to Bryan and The Longing Within. Each book is a stand-alone with a different couple and storyline but elements of BDSM and kink runs throughout them.
I liked this collection a lot as it was well written, entertaining and with characters that had great chemistry and a lot of hot and sexy fun in the bedroom, among other places.
This was a good collection of three stories about different couples. I liked that these all had similar themes but were all different and good reads.

I’ve not read anything from Isabella Kole, but I certainly will read one go her books again. This is a nice selection of stories with the emphasis on domestic discipline relationships. Each of the 3 couple has a somewhat deferent “need” for the lifestyle choice, but all are equally valid. First we have Jarrod and Jillian, she tends to be headstrong and her needs are to help her with self control. We see how their relationship develops and grows while incorporating DD into their life together. Second up is Bryan and Jan, who happens to be Jill’s sister. Jan tends to be stubborn and bratty and needs calming and behavior borders. Bryan gives her that, even though she doesn’t always accept it the best. Ans lastly we have John and Lindsey, Bryan’s adopted sister. This was the strictest couple and not my personal favorite. Overall the books were well paced, interesting, steamy, and compelling. I would definitely recommend, especially because you can read for free with your KU Subscription.

This is a collection of three stories featuring domestic discipline. Which normally would be rather enjoyable to me, but I found all three stories to have too much angst for my enjoyment. I realize that adding these additional elements may make the stories more realistic, and for those that want that element, then these stories should be perfect. But for me, I want more escapism. I don’t mind a bit of introspection, but these were too much for me.
The stories themselves were well written and the characters were well developed, including plenty of issues.
Recommended for those that like that extra dose of realism in their stories.

Jill has had her eye on her boss, Jarrod Baine, but never thought he had an interest in her also. Once they get together they mesh very well. Jill is very high strung and Jarrod found a light spanking got her out of her head and relaxed her, but he would not do anything more. Then we move on to her sister Jamie who is dating her coworker Bryan. To see how this works out you need to read the book. I enjoyed them and will read more from these authors.

Jill sat her desk and she really liked working for her boss Jarrod.
Jill had an altercation in the elevator with the new guy in the mail room.
She took care of that really quick by kneeing him just as the doors open to see her boss. How he wanted to tell her how much he felt about her but it wasn’t the chance. Jill and Jarrod start seeing each other outside of work. Jarrod told Jill how he felt about her and he wanted her for his wife.
He had taken to spanking her when she needed it. Jill miscarries and she started to drift away from Jarrod which was driving him crazy. He wanted his wife back again.
Submitting to Bryan. Bryan/Jan
Jan and Bryan were having a little problem so Jan went to talk with Jill.
Bryan and Jan were getting along really well until he told he what he wanted before they take their relationship any further. She couldn’t bring herself to have him taking the lead plus the domestic disciple. She breaks up with Bryan and tells him never to come back. She decided to go out with her friends and party but she sees how much more they are subdued. Her friend Jamie was still the party boy but when she thought about them going out she realized she didn’t want him. A deadly car accident makes her think again what she had with Bryan. Bryan takes her home to meet his parents it didn’t go well. Lindsey, who lived with a Bryan and his family since she was young and her parents died. Bryan’s parents wanted him to marry Lindsey in time but Bryan was not interested in her. His parents really made Jan feel terrible so she asked to leave i mmediately. She told him what she thought of his parents and was angry at what she witnessed with Bryan and Lindsey. She told him once again that their relationship was over and the marriage was off.
The Longing Within. Lindsey/John
Lindsey and John has been seeing each other for awhile and Lindsey finally told her adopted family. Bryan and Jans wedding was wonderful and John wound up meeting her there. John owned his own Advertising company so he decided to move down to a Nashville where Lindsey was living and he could keep his other office open. John proceeds to tell Lindsey about the lifestyle he had before they got together. He had a Dom/Sub relationship with a couple of subs. That taken Lindsey back and asked him if he wants that in their marriage. Lindsey knew she would give it a try. Meanwhile they went to look at his new offices and their new condo with Jarrod. Lindsey tried a little more of things and found out how much she enjoyed it. Lindsey loses her job and can’t seem to get over the depression
this is a boxed set of power exchange stories that will leave you breathless with excitment, they are each filled with steam and emotion, as well as spanking, bdsm elements, and will fill hours of entertainment time.

Accepting His Terms
I liked this book; I just wasn’t able to completely fall in love with it. I think the reason I didn’t fully connect with it is that the writing feels a little choppy. I wasn’t able to sink into the narrative and get lost in their story the way I wanted to. However, I really appreciated that Jill is a strong character, and that Jarrod supported her in that strength rather than tearing her down through their discipline. The thing that impressed me the most about this story is that it shows our leading couple getting professional help to work through the mental and emotional issues that have come between them. This is such a rarity in the genre, and I celebrate it any time I encounter it.
Submitting to Bryan
I don’t think I was the right target audience for this book. I don’t like bratty heroines, so I spent the first half of the book not liking Jan very much. And I don’t enjoy seeing punishments given when I don’t agree with the reasons for them. That meant that I didn’t like Bryan very much for most of the second half of the book. I did appreciate that this story spent a lot of time showing us Jan’s conflicted feelings between domestic discipline and her free spirit. It was nice to see some explanations on how these seemingly opposites can coexist.
The Longing Within
With each new couple in the series, we’ve moved a little deeper into the Lifestyle. Though, from what’s presented in the books, none of them are very deep into it. I liked that this book focuses on the relationship and shows us some very realistic, ‘everyday’ kinds of conflicts between Lindsey and John. I particularly liked how Lindsey found balance in her life through the Lifestyle. I personally thought a couple of the punishments were excessive in the moment, though. And I was left feeling a little uncomfortable that this story almost seems to suggest that a schedule and the threat of punishment for failing to follow it could be a cure to something that looked a lot like clinical depression. However, I loved Lindsey’s strength and my heart broke for her feeling so out-of-control. I got quite the kick out of her “karmic justice” ending.

This book is made up of 3 smaller books – Accepting His Terms, Submitting to Bryan and The Longing Within. I understand they were all published individually between 2013 and 2015. In my opinion, the book starts with the most boring story in the compilation and almost had me giving up, but thankfully the other 2 stories were significantly better. I liked that while all separate stories that work as standalones, there are family dynamics that tie them together.
I loved this story. It is the kind that you can identify with the characters and immerse yourself in the story. Very well written and characters to win the heart make this book a must read.

I actually give it a 3.5 stars. This is a book of 3 interconnected stories. Each story on its own has an HEA. While the theme of this trio of stories is domestic discipline (at least according to the description) I found that it was not as prevalent as I had expected. The focus was more about the growth of each relationship. The domestic discipline component was not what I had expected from the book. I found it to be more of a sweet read than a steamy read. It was enjoyable, just not what I expected fr from the book description.
