Kept
Who said being a dominant Sugar Daddy was going to be easy? Self-made millionaire Reed Douglas wanted a woman in his life, but he didn’t have the time for even the barest of social rituals. Tricia Barton flew down to spend some time with her cousins after the death of her mother, hoping a change of scenery would help her slough off the remnants of depression. She never expected to have her life turned upside down by her cousin’s undeniably hot and very dominant boss who didn’t hesitate to suggest that she let him keep her in a style to which she’d like to become accustomed!

About the author
Carolyn Faulkner
215 books352 followersCarolyn was one of you as a kid, with the intriguing seeds planted in her head of the shivering thrill-thoughts that came with words like spanking, or discipline. As with you, those kinds of words and thoughts connected the heated blush of her cheeks with feelings elsewhere, which got more and more interesting the older she got.
I bet you know just what I'm talking about.
Like some, she started writing down these thoughts, escaping into short stories of reluctant heroes willing to take someone they love in hand when it's for her own good... and more shadowy thoughts as her imagination matured.
And like some, she started sharing her writings in newsgroups once she gained some confidence.
There's nothing like the perfectly-turned phrase, the handful of words that can make a feeling wash over you. And if you're reading this, then you have within you some intense feelings that most of the world doesn't understand -- but Carolyn does, and she writes those passions with wondrous abandon. Her specialties are Spanking Romance and Adult Ageplay, so we've grouped the many examples of her work that way.
Spanking Romance Classics are sweeping love stories which dare (in a very un-PC way) to allow their heroine to feel the special love of a strong man who will take her in hand when it's best for her. Carolyn writes very real, rich characters and stories that aren't just excuses to jump from spanking scene to spanking scene. If the timeless tango of pursuing ardor touches you, and the head-rush of Adoring Discipline intrigues you, then you'll love Carolyn's stories!

I'm still trying to figure out what this book is about. Review to come later...

Lovely story.
Tricia had agreed to be a 'kept' woman for self-made millionaire Reed Douglas. But as they stay together, their relationship slowly transformed from a business arrangement to something much more, as each give the other person what he/she secretly craves or needs.
This is a 'spanking' romance, so if you can't handle such scenes, avoid this novella. But if you don't have any issues about such kinks, then read and meet two such delightful, strong-willed individuals, and how in the end they find love with each other. My only complaint is that the ending was a little too abrupt.
Overall, this story kept me riveted up to the last page.

A naughty little story that actually ends up being just as- if not more- romantic than erotic, Kept is about a woman who comes out of the worst year of her life into a relationship with a man that begins as one thing and ends as something else all together.
When Tricia Barton meets her cousin’s boss, she’s instantly attracted to his alpha male demeanor. But billionaire Reed Douglas couldn’t possibly want a staid school teacher like Tricia so she immediately dismisses him- until, unbeknownst to her, he overhears Tricia informing her cousin she's decided she wants to become a kept woman. When he approaches her with an offer, she’s floored… and intrigued. Eventually agreeing to become his mistress for hire, she's adamant about the fact that this is all business- no matter what her heart is telling her.
Although Reed wants more, he’s willing to take her on her terms- little does he know that more than his money, and libido, are on the line, because this transaction is gonna steal his heart!
Though there is a little bit of dominance in this one as well as good amount of “spanking kink”, I was surprised to find I cared more about the character development than I usually expect from erotica such as this.
Still the ending was rather abrupt and it just wasnt long enough to suit my tastes.

Did I read this story and forget to note it down? I must have because I know I've read this story and I could have sworn it was earlier this year. This is a 2.5 star for me. It's a sweet romantic concept about a woman, Trish who is a highly paid mistress by her cousin's boss, Reed.
The story is fancifully romantic. The D/s is mild and the spanking is fun. Is this a fantasy I think of when I'm over burdened at work? YES! Then I remember I'm the bread winner in the family. Sometimes it would nice to be a kept woman. I could just read books, review them and write my own stories. Trish has it made here.

Loved this "spanking" story! It was a quick steamy read with two appealing main characters. The HEA ending was somewhat abrupt and I really wanted an epilogue. Looking forward to more by this author.

Tricia is 37 years old, she's a school teacher, she's been divorced for three years and she also writes erotica. Her beloved mother recently passed away so she leaves New Hampshire to visit her cousin, Maggie and her husband in Tennessee. Maggie picks her up at the airport with her boss, Reed Douglas who Trish is quite attracted to. Reed is 45 years old and a self made millionaire who was dirt poor and worked his ass off after his dad left him and his mom to give her a better life. Reed overhears Trish talking to Maggie saying she'd like to be a kept woman by a rich man and he's intrigued by the idea. He takes her out to dinner to discuss the idea with her and they decide on a year long contract where he takes care of her financially and she's available for sex when he wants it. I absolutely loved Reed, he was hot as hell and sweet but Trish I thought was a cold, miserable bitch most of the time.

Well, that's frustrating - I just lost my perfectly written and beautifully punctuated and thoughtful review - now you'll have to settle for this one. ;^)
This story was free from Blushing Books for the month of May, which is how I got it. I'm between a 2 and 3 on this book. It was a fun story, a fairy tale really. I enjoy fairy tales, but the problem is they are often simply told with little to no depth. That was the problem here IMO.
Trish is visiting her cousin after her mother dies. She is understandably at loose ends and very depressed. Her cousin's boss, Reed, overhears Trish tell her cousin about this fantasy she has about being kept by a wealthy older man. Reed takes her up on it and before she knows what's happened she has a year long contract as Reed's full time mistress. It is a really interesting set up, but we never know why Trish goes for it really. Sure it's a great fantasy, but an intelligent, independent woman would have some underlying reason for becoming a mistress - wouldn't she? There was loads of potential here for a look into two rather interesting people coming together in an atypical way (at least in my world it is atypical).
So we are told Trish becomes a mistress and are given all sorts of interesting legal information. (It actually is pretty interesting.) She and Reed settle into this relationship that she tries to keep business like (thinking that's what he wants) and he gradually wants more, while feeling hurt that she doesn't. But they never talk to each other!!! She says no to more money, he spanks her - that is their communication. I have no problem with the spankings, Trish likes them, and I like reading about them. But it became frustrating that they never asked each other, "why?"
This goes on until the end of our fairy tale when we get the HEA I always want. But this one was simply "poofed" into the end of the story to wrap things up. All too quickly and neatly for my taste, because Trish and Reed still don't really know each other.
I realize I'm expecting an awful lot out of essentially a lighthearted story. But we kept getting glimpses of more, there was so much potential for more. More show, less tell.

I really had high hopes for this. It was a cute premise, and it started off well. At the same time, there was contradiction from the start. She wanted a sugar daddy, but then wouldn't take advantage of what Reed offered. That's actually a good thing because it shows she has scruples, but it was contrary to what a sugar daddy is, even contrary to what she originally said she wanted in a sugar daddy. I did love how Reed was so considerate of her feelings. He could have been a bastard, but he wasn't.
I had two main problems with this book. First, the formatting/editing. It was really hard sometimes to tell who was speaking without having read a bit further. Two people were speaking within the same paragraph without a clear indication that speaker had changed. There were several grammar/punctuation issues, but I honestly have no idea whether that's the author or the formatting.
The second problem I had was with how quickly it ended. While I felt the relationship was blossoming between them into something neither one expected, the 2-year anniversary declaration seemed almost out of place and then, bam -- it was done. I wanted more build up. I wanted more tension. I wanted to feel their love for each other. I wanted to see more sweetness between them. I kinda wanted her to decline his advances just once to see what would happen. And the spanking didn't sound nearly as erotic as it has in other stories I've read. I just sounded mean. Ultimately it just didn't do it for me.

Well, I came over to the reviews because I really was feeling like I couldn't finish this. Less than halfway in, I found myself skimming, even over the sex scenes. It's not that it's SO horribly written or a 'wall-banger' or anything. But I just couldn't get into it, which might be a taste thing (and this is without the spanking that apparently happens - I'm all for D/s and BDSM stuff, so that wouldn't bother me). Everything just seemed to happen too abruptly. Reed meets Tricia and immediately decides a) he wants to "keep" her, and apparently b) she needs him to 'guide' her. I get that the protective alpha male thing is supposed to be sexy, but normally where it's sexy is in the bedroom. Reed's character just has this whole "Me Tarzan, You Jane" undercurrent about everything that's skeevy. Tricia's character doesn't help by being so wibbly. And I'm sorry, maybe it's a generalization, but I just can't see someone who apparently writes erotica being so borderline spineless and scared in the bedroom, even at their first encounter. Bleh. Additionally, the prose in the sex scene I did manage to read was fairly purple. There's only so much detail about glistening, pulsing buds and honey that I can take before the whole thing loses all heat and gets lost in one big eye-roll. After seeing that I'm not alone, I think I'll put this one back on the shelf.

This wasn't very good. I couldn't relate to either Trish or Reed. The love scenes were awkward. There are many words authors use to describe the clitoris. Nub, bean, bead, clit, button. One word I've never seen for it is clitty. Until now. I really hope to never see that again either. Reed is supposed to be a dominant male but three quarters through the book and he's just starting to spank her? He hides a paddle in the back of his closet? No. I don't buy it.
The one thing I did enjoy was Trish's being an average size woman. She's a size 14 and I wish the author had showed that more in her descriptions of Trish. I would have loved to see a sexy scene with Reed giving sensuous attention to her rounded belly or thick thighs.
This was a free read so I'm not out anything but the time it took to read this. I don't think I'll be looking for any other works from this author.

3.5 Stars
This was a well written short story and my first read of Carolyn Faulkner.
I have stated many times that its hard to get a good mix between storyline, romance and sex in eroticas. I would say this book had a good mix of all three, but the ending was so abrupt. I liked the storyline, I don't recall recently reading a story about a kept woman, so it was refreshing. I just wanted a little more closure.
I also only gave it 3.5 stars because i'm not into the whole spanking thing. I didn't realise before hand that old love would be getting her ass whooped every second page, so I would have rated higher without that - but that is obviously what the book was about - I should have read more about the book before hand - my problem, definately not the authors.

This wasnt a bad book. I just didnt understand getting into a contract with a millionaire to be his mistress, i'm sorry thats only fun if they are being blackmail like a harlequin romance novel. the book was ok for me not wow still a good read but could have been better. I think Tricia was all over the place understandable at times because of her lost but didnt understand the concept. And as for the other main character i didnt see much of a dominance in him it was minimal. Basically i expected something different from what i read.

How is it ok to treat a woman in such a disrespectful way? Just look at the red mark on the woman's backside/leg (on the cover of the book). Most men wouldn't put up with someone spanking them.
If I didn't know any better, I'd think these kinds of books (spanking, s&m, etc.) were written by men. Treating a woman in such a humiliating/degrading way seems like a guy's fantasy.
I don't understand why these kinds of books are listed under the subject heading of romance.
There's nothing romantic about abusing a person.

POSSIBLE SPOILER....
Reid and Tricia caught my attention right away, the relationship looked like it was going to be interesting, then BAM the NOVELLA flew through 2 years of relationship, focusing on describing spankings and not how their feelings for each developed then THE END.
I wanted to LOVE it alot. I guess I just wanted more on the SEXY Reid.

I almost cried with this one. the very idea of being a "kept" woman sounds appealing. But the spanking thing is really not that appealing for me. all in all its a very sexy story.
April 20, 2011
This was on its way to 4 stars and then the ending happened. WTH? It was so abrupt and unsatisfying. Very disappointing.
April 23, 2011
This was an okay read. I really enjoyed the characters and story concept. But I can't help but be dissapointed. There's so much potential here it definitly could have been alot better.

Romantically sweet spanking story.

WOW A Fabulous Faulkner Fantasy? No way! 😴😏
What we have here is a fmc who’s delicate, fragile, and shy in the bedroom. 🤔🤨🥴 Acting like a virgin at 37. This is shortly after she tells the Alpha how experienced and fulfilling her sex life was with her ex. Oh, and she’s a published writer of smutty erotica. 🤦♀️ Not buying. Sorry.
As for the Alpha? Nah. He felt like a robot in a suit.
It was clinical and boring, and sans any chemistry between protagonists that I could feel. And it’s all about the ‘feels’ with erotic fantasy. Someone should’ve read it before hitting the Publish Button; too many obvious errors. At least at .99p it didn’t cost much, although it should be free to read with Kindle Unlimited. Still, I’m always willing to try this author, as she’s written a few of my Go To’s when I’m in a book funk. Where I am right now after buying two back to back duds. I wouldn’t recommend it.
P.S.
This is where I cracked up and almost died, LAUGHING 😂
“...he sat up a bit. "Spread your legs for me, Trish. Let me see if you’re ready for me."
🥴
I couldn’t go on. Please, NO MORE. 🙏

KEPT is one of CFs best, IMHO. The mistress-for-hire theme has been done before, but these characters were very likable and the arrangement was not your run-of-the-mill paid escort fare.
Reed Douglas is a busy man--too busy for a social life. Trisha Barton just lost her mother and decides to sped time with her cousin and regroup. She meets Reed, the cousin's boss, and he makes her an offer she has some trouble refusing. Be my hostess for parties, a companion on my arm, a sexual relationship if we both agree. Not too terrible, right?
I liked the strength in Trish. I liked that she had some real and fundamental objections to certain things in their 'contract' and stood her ground. I liked that Reed wasn't unreasonable all the time--all of these things, unfortunately are so more than not in DD-D/s books, so this relationship was refreshing. The writing, of course, was terrific and the dialogue between the two characters was real and very sweet.
CF is one of my favorites, and Kept is one of her best.

Trish is overcoming the hurt and lose of her mother and seems to be having time with her depression. Her cousin and best friends introduces her to Reed. There is an instant feeling between the two of them and Trish's bold statement about being "kept" gets his attention. Despite it being her idea Trish is still very shy and hesitant. There are many mis-steps and misunderstanding along the way. Reed quickly realizes he's looking for more than an arrangement but Trish uses the contract to keep him at arm's length. I think Reed's quite persistence does a lot to heal Trish and bring her to the point accepting love. This was the second time I read the story and found it just as powerful a story the second time around.

FOR ALL TIME
Oh to be a kept woman and have a Sugar Daddy! When self-made millionaire Reed Douglas over hears Tricia Barton and her cousin discussing one night the virtues of being a mistress, he makes the proposal to make it happen. The plot builds at a nice level keeping the reader captivated as their arrangement blossoms . The dialogue between Reed and Trish is entertaining and the chemistry continually develops as their arranged relationship develops over the years. Unlike most stories with a mistress, they live together at a house she picked and he pays for. She isn't your money hunger mistress and refuses gifts, which totally baffles him. What starts out as a few swats to her bottom does eventually become OTK BB spankings. The sex is not overly explicit.

If only I had a cousin who knew a millionare who wanted a mistress- SIGN ME UP! Tricia was lucky enough to have a cousin to do just that, though it happens to be after she lost her mother. Reed is the millionare who was looking for a mistress to keep him satisfied when he wanted it, anytime he wanted it. He took Tricia for a test drive before the contract was written up and then practically ran to get the papers signed so they could start their arrangement. Cute, sexy, got the juices flowing. I like a little spanking and don't see the big hype about it- but each to their own.

This was an interesting read, though not much to say about it. Liked the sex scenes, story was ok, but thought it was missing some details. Example is why didn't she like to entertain. It was almost a phobia by the way it was described. What happened to cause it?
I did kind of want more in the "domination" arena, but most of the scenes were good to read.
Nice happy ending, so an ok read, but wanted more.

This was good, but lacking. Maybe I was hoping for more romance? Most of the book was so business-like between Trish and Reed. I kept hoping they would admit their true feelings for each other sooner (more than two years had passed into their contract). Then the ending rushed in, and tied everything up nice and neat, leaving me feeling let down.
AND, as a side note, another book with that dreaded word "clitty"...ugh.

The heroine, Trisha is as stubborn as a mule. She wanted to be kept and yet not be kept. Wanted to be independent and reliant at the same time. The hero, Reed is patient until he isn't. As it turns out, she likes to be spanked and he loves to give her one when she isn't being reasonable. Very interesting to read as he tames her somewhat. This is a short read and I wouldn't put it down until I was finished. Again, fun read.

Wow! Totally loved it! A really entrhralling love story, with just the right amount of kink and romance.
Reed is hmmm hot and sexy, but also romantic and adorable!
Trish is a stubborn woman, a bit weird, I did'nt really understand her, but on the whole I liked her.
