Reader This erotic Regency-set historical contains dubious consent.
How hard can it be to seduce one’s own wife?
Leopold Spencer is shocked to learn his shy and awkward wife is secretly headed to Chateau Follet, where the most wicked, wanton forms of debauchery take place.
Though he has not touched Trudie in over a year—not since their disastrous wedding night—he is not willing to be made a cuckold. Furious, he heads to Chateau Follet to retrieve her before she is in over her head.
But shortly after arriving, he discovers a unique—and provocative—opportunity to test the fidelity of his wife. Under guise, he decides what he wants to do is seduce his wife.
Commanding her submission, however, is not as easy as he expects…

I have to go back and check, did they say this is "first book free"? I don't think it was even a half book. Just when I got into reading it, it was the end. Very disappointed. Or are all the books in the series this short??
All of her "books" are nothing more than than a couple chapters long. You buy the next one only to find out that again it is but a small part of the story. Once, shame on you, twice, I find another author who can write a whole book.
It may be the start of a sexual awakening for Trudie
The first installment of the story may be seen as dubious consent. But clearly Trudie is curious about sex and is willing to learn more about it, as she’s made a trip with her friend Diana to Chateau Follet. Though it is revealed Trudie is content with Leopold, her husband, she is conflicted over the marriage that has become stale. Trudie is struggling with feelings of distaste for her wanton behavior but can’t resist the new found feelings of arousal and desire.
What Trudie does not realize is that the same gentleman, in disguise, who has just given her a breathtaking orgasm is her husband. Leopold Spencer, Baron Ramsay, travels to Chateau Follet once he learns that Trudie and Diana are spending a few days there. He’s angry and intends to collect Trudie and take her home. But upon arrival, he decides it is to his benefit to approach carefully and find out why she’s come. Leopold is surprised about discovering things about his wife and having a delicious time.
Great first installment, and I can’t wait to read more about Trudie’s journey of sexual enlightenment.
I know these “books” are short, chapters really, and I prefer to wait till there’s a box set or compilation to read these stories, so I’m not complaining of that here. I didn’t like this one so much for the whole setup. A woman much neglected by her husband, he wants to punish her for a thought of infidelity even though she hasn’t committed it until her forces her to, while he’s had a mistress for a long time….. usually the heroes in her stories were more open-minded, and while he reflects on his hypocrisy, it just wasn’t enough to make me like him at all.
But what killed it for me is that she doesn’t recognize her own husband because he has a mask and wig??? Come on. I know people I never had sex with from a distance just by their walk. Don’t recognize the voice of the man you’ve known since childhood and have been living with for a while now…..really? Do you not know the people you’ve had almost daily experience with just because they’re dressed up for Halloween? This just bothers me too much and kills the story for me.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Lord Ramsey learns his wife is heading to a upscale brothel because she seeks pleasure. Take from his perspective. Forsaken a year of sex, Trudie is convinced by Leopold’s cousin, Diana, to seek sexual gratification that neither women receive in their marriages. Pride & jealousy forces Leopold to find his wife and bring her home. But reflection cause Leo to teach his wife a lesson.
Of course the irony that the man gets the pleasure and the dutiful wife remains unsatisfied isn’t lost in this story. She wants passion, satisfaction, adventure and fulfillment. Perhaps even love instead of ignored, neglected and dismissed.
Five chapters is just an appetizer to this story. It’s obvious Trudie will unintentionally teach Leo a lesson - using his possessiveness & pride against at him. I do like how extreme actions reveal the truth in the end.
Leopold Spencer, fifth Baron Ramsey is horrified when he hears his friend say their wives have checked into the Chateau for at least two days… or nights. He decides to go get his wife. *** Sighs… if this guy is supposed to be a dominant then he’s pretty bad if his wife’s wedding night was dismal (in his opinion), and he hasn’t tried again in two years. No wonder she’s checking into the Chateau. He can’t even remember what kissing her feels like. His WIFE. I hate this MC. He disguises himself and finds her alone in the music room.
A dark and erotic tale from Em Brown of an encounter at the notorious Chateau Follett between Trudie, an ignored, shy wife, and unbeknownst to her, her husband Leopold. This short historical story is intense and engaging.
This book is not a complete story and is the first part of a longer story.
A warning to the reader, this may not be for anyone who has triggers.
This was an entertaining story from the start, when at the races, Lord Spencer is surprised to learn from his bored friend that their wives will stop at Chateau Follet. I loved that scene, which convinced me to read this book. How can his neglected young wife be willing to accept some sexual attention from a anonymous stranger at the Chateau?! Payback is tough!
Their second round of coupling was borderline force. The lady did/didn't want to do it because she wants to be faithful to her husband but she obviously wants to be pleasured as well. I hope all future works are not serials or can consider a complete story in each book.
Submitting To The Baron by Em Brown is a very short read, perfect for those with limited reading time. Ms. Brown has delivered a well-written book. Leopold and Trudie's story is loaded with drama and sex. I enjoyed reading Submitting To The Baron until I discovered the cliff-hanger ending. Submitting To The Baron is book 7 of the Chateau Debauchery Series and is a cliff-hanger.
Leopard Spencer, Baron Ramsey & his wife Trudie's story was compelling. Intrigue as to the depths of his wife's betrayals, he purposely deceived her. Trudie, unhappy in her marriage decided to repay her husband's unfaithfullness. Soon matters get complicated as they discover truths about themselves. Enjoy this story. Recommend. Happy Reading.
This was a quick afternoon read that I enjoyed. I like the darker side of steamy and the way the main encounter in this story plays out is a bit on that edge. Em Brown not only writes well...her ability to narrate is wonderful. It was interesting to hear an author bring her own characters to life. It added to the fun of this read.
I found myself smirking throughout this read. I love "Trudie" and her views and thoughts are endearing and at the same time heart-wrenching and cannot wait to see what is revealed in future parts of this story.
I liked the story. the seduction was great. I got lost in the books. What a tease. I started with one, got sent to two, had to read three, then there was four and I was left hanging with five.
Victorian hypocrisy at its best. His honor demands he keep all others from his wife. His newfound passion demands he claim his wife, even against her will. Cliffhanger.
Can you say jaw dropping, drool inducing, cannot stop reading, one heck of a good time read? This book was everything I could have ever wanted it to be and more!! ❤
Hot, steamy, sexy story of a Wife visiting a Chateau where her husband's cousin has taken her unknowing of what can occure there. Luckily her husband learns of this and makes a dash to stop his wife of committing adultery. He then decides to trick his Wife into submitting to him behind a mask that he wears. This Author certainly knows how to turn on the heat.
