Uncle Ar, the disciplinarian , is a 17,000-word age-gap dark romance novelette, with two unabashed tales of dominance and discipline entangled. With each chapter earmarked with a letter (A is for Ancient, B is for Belt), it’s an alphabetized meet-cute of twitching palms and squirming bottoms, served with a healthy dose of dry British humor over elegant prose.
Stranded in Rome at Christmastime, Arlin James, a music professor and a strict disciplinarian, channels his grudges into an intense fantasy set in ancient times. His alter ego, Roman Senator Arlinus Maximus, rules over Giulia, his Gaulish submissive who doesn’t speak a lick of Latin, with a firm hand and a leather sword belt. As the fantasy storyline wraps up, Arlin meets Federica, a young White House lawyer on a covert mission to the Vatican, who desperately needs a trip over Santa’s knee. And who can substitute Santa better than an older British gentleman, hm?
