Some people spend their entire lives searching for love. But for others, like Elisa Hawthorne, love is right in front of them all along. Once she finds the courage to open her heart to Paul Davenport, the man she's loved since she was a little girl, her world opens up in ways she never imagined.

But after nearly a dozen years together, something has changed. Paul no longer seems like the man she married, and she begins to suspect the worst. She searches for answers, and finds a truth that threatens the very foundation of their marriage…

Publisher’s Note: This love story includes graphic scenes as well as elements of domestic discipline.

OUR FUTURE—I’M IN LOVE WITH YOU, YOU LITTLE BRAT

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2018

Verified Purchase

The story is the third in the Smokey Mountain series, and while it has main characters from the first two stories, it reads well as a stand-alone. The story is a good bit different than Healing Hurts, and Healing Divides in that it starts from when Elisa and Paul first met when they were young children and neighbors and progressed as they go through school, onto college, and then marriage.

Paul has watched out for Elisa since he turned twelve years old, and he nicknamed her little bird. While she had a secret crush on him since she was eight years old, she would pretend she really didn’t care for him. The story will cover parts of their childhood, and then when their relationship changes from friends to lovers when she graduated high school. It is also the beginning of their relationship adding discipline and entering a D/s lifestyle.

When Elisa decides she isn’t going to attend college, Paul refuses to accept nor allow her that option and insist she will apply and then he is there through her years in college setting rules and expectations. Following graduation, it will lead to their engagement and marriage.

“He makes rules to make you a better person. You two have the type of relationship I always wanted. It’s nice to see that it can work. You guys are great together.”

The story will include the relationship of Penny when she refused to listen to Elisa and got involved with Franklin Pierce, and how it became an abusive relationship that for some time severed the friendship of Elisa and Penny until she escaped Franklin and sought out Elisa and Paul.
While it has been years that Paul and Elisa have lived a domestic discipline lifestyle, one they both agree to, the trail and facts brought out in the case of Franklin and Penny will have Paul questioning his relationship and punishments. Their marriage will take a downward spiral that harms both of them when he decides to removed spankings from their marriage.

Has Paul and Elisa’s marriage hit a snag that they can work through? His work is keeping him out long hours, and slowly insecurities and doubts will work their way into Elisa’s thoughts that maybe he doesn’t care about her anymore, and maybe there is another reason for the decline in their marriage. When they try to talk things don’t go well, and Elisa starts running away from their problems, and their marriage is suffering.

“I love you, and I trust you to do the right thing. For me, for yourself, for our relationship. So I was willing to follow your lead because I knew I could count on you. And there was this incredible safety in knowing that if I screwed up, it was okay because you knew how to handle it.”

The story is a great example of an open line of communication and how two people can grow in a relationship but also how fragile it can be when left unattended. It also has a great example of a safe, sane, and consensual domestic discipline lifestyle, compared to an abusive person who controls, coercion, abuses, and used fear to lead in a relationship. The story has many discipline scenes and explicit sex scenes.

Interesting story

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2018

This wasn't really a standalone, so I was lost about a couple of things, but there was enough of a back story and explanations that I was able to follow along for 98% of the time. I'm going to have to go back and read the other two books so that I can fill in the gaps and get the full flavor of the whole story.

When Elisa was 8, 11 year old Paul moved in down the street. From that very second, she had a crush on him. At 9, she led all her friends on a daring raid on his birthday party, shooting all the boys with water guns filled with water dyed pink.

Paul knew for most of his life that Elisa was his and he was going to marry her. He also knew that he was stern and that he liked spanking women. That wasn't going to change with Elisa.

Paul and Elisa are considered the perfect couple. They sure seem to be. But we always need to remember that what looks like perfection from the outside doesn't mean that it's perfect on the inside.

I did enjoy the book. I would've probably enjoyed it more if I had already read the other two books, but I still really did enjoy it, so it's all good, in the long run. I liked the thought that Paul put into his and Elisa's interactions. I didn't like the timeline on his actions on that particular point. Changing an established dynamic unilaterally can leave one person floundering.

Wonderful story

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2018

Healing Fears by Stella Moore is a wonderful continuation of this three book series. This book can be read alone and it goes back to a time before the first book begins in order to tell some of the background on Elisa and Paul’s relationship. However Penny and Eric and Melissa and Jack from the first two novels are frequent characters in this story as well. I really liked how the author approaches Paul struggle with continuing to discipline his wife. He is struggling with the idea that he might be abusive and he may have forced Elisa into DD all these years. Elisa on the other hand is now struggling because her husband is no longer disciplining her and she is feeling unloved and frustrated with Paul’s strange behavior. I was glad to see that Paul was able to come to terms with his struggle after seeing a therapist even if it was one visit. I really enjoyed the dynamics of this story. I also reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

Doms Have Doubts Too

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2018

Another 5 Star fantastic story from Ms. Moore in the Healing series. This 3rd installment gives us what seems like two books in one, the first featuring the backstory of our book-one heroine Penny and her childhood best friend Elisa Hawthorne. It details Elisa’s initial meeting, and developing relationship, with the love of her life, Paul Davenport. Paul is a natural Alpha Dom and the young Elisa quickly realizes that she is very much a bonafide submissive. The erotic spankings and sex scenes that these two share are hot enough to burn the pages. You get the feeling that their love and relationship could never be in danger. Wrong! The second part of the story deals with a very intense scenario of second guessing one’s real life role and responsibilities of being in a D/s relationship. Only this time the doubts and insecurities are in the mind of the Dom not the submissive. When do the actions of a Dom become abusive, either physically or mentally? A tough, tough question that is so very relevant in these times of #MeToo. How they work it through, with the very able assistance of their friends, is a very compelling read. You will learn a lot about the dynamics of this type of relationship, all the while being entertained with an enormously erotic tale. Please, please let us have more stories in this series.
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
