Wow, what can I say, about this but, it was a great read. It had some interesting angles in the plot and it didn't end as I had expected, but that was part of the pleasure of reading this book.

This story was not what I had expected, but I had a very hard time putting it down. It gave so much insight into the world of age-play. I only wish the book didn't end so abruptly, all in all a very good read. I am looking forward to reading more books from this author.

This started with a great plot but I felt the story ended half way throw and had no real plot after that It just read of the things that where done which is why I gave three out of 5 stars

This age play story adheres well to the traits of the era it is written in. Women had so little say in how they married and lived out their lives. Patrick decided on Rebecca and there was no one to stop him. The training was definitely harsh for me, but Patrick made no pretense he wanted anything softer. He warned and he delivered. I think this is what makes the story different from the standard nanny stories. I found Rebecca's passive resistance interesting. Shame she got caught and had to pay such a high pain price. For myself, I'd never want to have a birthday if I got a birthday spanking like Rebecca's. Ouch! I enjoyed the story and it felt complete. Nice going.

This is a very intense historical age-play story. It started off good but got lost in the discipline and deliberately took out the caring aspect when the husband/papa discovered he screwed up. I was disappointed that this story had no surprises but just followed the same plot I have read in other historical age-play stories

Rebecca's life has gone through so many changes she isn't sure what to expect next. When she seems to be rescued from the cruel school she is torn. She finds herself married and being treated as child which leaves her more and more confused. While parts of her treatment seemed extreme she seems to find a peace and a center with her new life.

"""A very good ageplay story centering on a woman who goes through some trials and ends up with a guy who is her Papa as well as her husband. There is the requisite Nanny who is female who also disciplines and spanks - although in this one there is not real explicit f/f action as far as sex. The normal teasing. I cannot believe I am saying this but this trope is already fully fleshed out in this genre - the guy with the female nanny who trains little's so I actually deducted a star because this is now becoming so common it doesn't have a freshness to it. On the other hand the punishments are harsh, fairly well described, and the sex is really well written.
I am a huge fan of characters who can talk and tell the submissive/little/etc what is happening, why it is happening, and who make the sub say back things that would cause them to blush or be humiliated. Something about wording just does it for me. That is distinct from a Dom/Top who calls the sub a bitch, whore, slut which I hate and which automatically pulls me out of the story. This is different - because the thought of being helpless, being told what is happening and what is going to happen, just ratchets up the tension so well when it is done well. This one has it in spades."""

Becoming His by Maggie Ryan is about Rebecca finding her place. First as a well of boarding school student, then as a peniless servant, and finally as a wife (kind of...) Liked the age play elements!!! And the idea of someone having a school to train the girls...

I was drawn into this story for the first couple of chapters. However after that the story just dwindled away for me. It was way to harsh for me and no love. Having said that Age play is not the type of story I enjoy. I couldn't finish reading this story.

This story was a great age play story. Kind of reminded me of Carolyn Faulkners book the submissive wife only not as harsh. There was a nice balance in the way the wife was treated by her husband/daddy and her nanny

I am so glad I didn't read this book when it first came out. Now I don't have to wait as long for the sequal!! A very good story line, interesting characters and Sexy men. Now, I've got to say that I didn't like the primary female character at the beginning of the book. so if this happens to you, stick with it, because she gets much more likeable.

This was a good story and very well written and I definitely appreciate the length. I, however, would have appreciated some expressions of love between Patrick and Rebecca. They each told themselves how much they loved the other but we didn't really get to read them expressing that to each other. This lack makes the non consensual aspect difficult for me. I have read several age play stories and I really feel this one was missing love and consideration.

The story is fluently and enjoyable to read, however Patrick seems selfish, the novel contains too many scenes of punishment at the expense of the description of the couple's relationship.

This was a well written book. The language flows nicely and the story stays on track. However, albeit a bit more consensual and a little bit less harsh, to me it felt as if I was re-reading A little miss or The submissive bride by C Faulkner. I'm sure it's unintentional, but I couldn't keep from comparing.

Awful story! Couldn't finish it. I love age play stories, but those referring to supportive men helping their loved's inner child. This story was pure degradation of a young, unprotected girl. Where is the sane, safe and consensual part? I wouldn't give it any star at all.

Good story and the characters are well developed. I only wish that there had been more affection and comfort between the Daddy and Little Girl. Seemed too harsh at times.

Read this as I love historical age play. It didn't disappoint except for the same old nanny which we read in so many other age play themes. I was hoping the story would focus more on the relationship developing between the daddy and Rebecca. Alas he seemed to be absent for the most crucial part of her training. For that I'm giving it a 3 star.

Loved this book. It tells a great story about a young woman who discovers that deep inside herself she craves submission. The story is set in the victorian age and the author does a wonderful job in describing her characters until you feel as if you know them. Very well written and a great buy. It is nice to have a longer story to read and enjoy. I would purchase another novel by this author as her first offering was very pleasurable.
