This book is indeed purely amazing perfection!
You are so consumed right from the very beginning that you’ll feel yourself falling head over heels for this story!
This was a delightful read, multifaceted and touching on some fairly deep emotional/psychological issues. The more you get to know her, the more you fall in love with the vulnerable and emotionally fragile Gabrielle. However she is also a minx of the first order and has a fire inside her that gets her into lots of trouble!
Felix was the perfect man for her, dark, a little broody but also very observant and quick to pick up on his wife’s emotions. I loved that he wasn’t Peter Perfect. Not only did he freely admit his short-comings but by tempering his responses to Gabrielle he demonstrated both fairness to and respect for her. That isn’t to say he didn’t spank her poor behind when she needed it, but he did so with such tender love and reverence that I could only swoon at his feet.
There’s was a rather sudden marriage so unsurprisingly there are several ups and downs along the way. They both used these as learning experiences, so even though Felix was ‘in charge’, theirs felt a much more equal partnership. Well apart from in the bedroom, or where ever Felix decided to play, but since Gabrielle enjoyed his kinky tortures that wasn’t an issue!
The scenes that included Cynthia and Arabella were huge fun. Would well brought up Victorian young ladies really have gossiped so and discussed such delicate matters? I have no idea, but surely we women haven’t changed that much over the years, so I rather like to think they might have.
From the very outset you can’t help but root for Felix and Gabrielle, she so very much deserves to be loved and cherished and he is just the man to provide that for her. This is my favourite historical spanking romance book of the ones that I’ve read. Bravo Ms Angel.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Gabrielle & Felix’s story! Excellent story, character development and great side characters.
Miscommunications seems to be the theme of Gabrielle but once she is married to Felix she realizes he may feel the same way. This is a little fun in seeing the growth Gabrielle takes and I love that even though Felix didn’t want to be married, he can’t escape the pull he has towards her. They’re hot together.
GABRIELLE’S DISCIPLINE
After reading PHILIP’S RULES, I had to continue this hot little series to find out if Felix can possibly tame Miss Gabrielle, so I dug right in. I’ve GOT to be honest, I loved Golden Angel’s telling the story of their wedding night. Only G.A. can take THREE DAYS and EIGHTY or so pages to tell about Felix and Gabrielle’s first encounter of marital bliss! So much fun! There isn’t a spot on Gabrielle that got missed by Felix’s mouth. Or tongue. Or … well you know! I laughed and laughed and just enjoyed the heck out of it. I hope you do too
Gabrielle’s Discipline Is the second book in the ‘Bridal Discipline’ series, and Gabrielle is the step-daughter from the first book, Philip’s Rules. You do not need to have read the first book in order to enjoy or understand this one.
Gabrielle is a character with complexities that go far beyond the surface. Felix, the youngest son of a nobleman, is a charming and confident man. He recognizes quite quickly after meeting her that she is going to be more than a simple young woman. Felix was more than happy to be a freewheeling bachelor, but suddenly he realizes that he is not so reluctant to settle down with Gabrielle. There are a lot of complex issues with her very young stepmother, and I like that although they made progress everything is not perfect by the end of the book with that relationship.
To avoid a scandal, Gabrielle is married off to Felix. She has had a crush on him for a long time, but she’s convinced that he’s in love with her stepmother. Of course, Felix loves Gabrielle but thinks she hates him. Without giving spoilers, I’ll just say they both have good reason for their beliefs. Since this book features domestic discipline, there are plenty of opportunities for those scenes as the characters slowly figure it all out. There is more emotion in the book than you might expect, an entertaining plot, and a substantial amount of steam.
Liked this story more than first book in the series.
Gabrielle gets married to Felix with a special license, because she was involved in a scandal and their marriage was a way to fix things. Gabrielle is thinking Felix is in love with Cordelia her stepmother, when in fact he is not. Felix is just friends with Cordelia and not romantically involved with her at all.
The first thing Felix does once they are married is to get ready to go with Gabrielle so that she might be able to meet his parents and have a honeymoon in the country.
Both of Felix’s parents were very pleasant to Gabrielle and this made her quite happy. Felix’s mother was particularly warm to Gabrielle and told her she could call her mother, which Gabrielle started doing.
Later when Felix was going to take Gabrielle to bed she got nervous and had a momemnt of panic and shooed him away and even though she sort of wanted him to insist he didn’t. When his parents found out how things were going Felix’s mother told him he needed to court Gabrielle because he hadn’t really done so before.
Later that night Gabrielle was rubbing one out and thinking of Felix and she said his name out loud and unbeknownst to her, Felix heard heard and heard what was going on and then proceeded to beat off.
Felix then gets up early and after talking to his mother goes out and gathers some flowers and puts them into a vase and then gives it to Gabrielle. She is really pleased since Felix actually went and gathered the flowers himself and made an arrangement and didn’t just pay a florist for them.
Later that night Felix finds out that Gabrielle knows something in detail concerning how couples have sex, unlike most brides at the time and after she refuses to tell him how she knows, Felix spanks her until she tells him about watching Philip and Cordelia have sex in the Library. Then they have sex until they both come hard and Gabrielle feels wanted.
Then we get to the end and there is a really nice HEA and then an epilogue giving a teaser for the next book Lydia’s Penance
Note: There is some butt stuff in the story that I think it was the best scene of this type I have ever read.
Should have been a little.
Gabriella has needs. Great book.
Pretty good narrative. Will listen again.
This audio book was given to me for free at my request from the publisher or author or narrator and I provided this unbiased voluntary review.
Bless her heart. Gabrielle is a young woman of her time. Unfortunately, not all of it has been good. Since it’s not really discussed, we gradually get the pieces of a much larger puzzle than first thought. Cordelia, Philip, Gabrielle and Felix including an entire cast of sub-characters with all the differing personalities makes this a book that will grab on and not let go until you finish.
Gabrielle’s story was what i hoped and more! She had my heart,my support from page one! Behind that prickly wall hid a lonely girl,one that was resigned to have a husband that loved another. Worse even,Felix only had eyes for his best friends wife,Cordelia. And the only reason he married her,was to avoid a scandal that would hurt his best friend,Philip and the woman he loved,Cordelia. No,Gabrielle had no-one to truelly call her own…..or had she? At Felix’ parents house,they seemed to grow closer….but what would happen when they returned to London? You really need to find out,i promise you’re going to love Gabrielle and Felix’ story!

In this story we get to know Gabrielle a bit better, and I really felt for her. Felix marries her to avoid a scandal because of her behaviour, but he already has feelings for her. I loved to see how they grew together. Needless to say there is some spanking involved.
