...or the author... help? I read this book years ago and I just remembered some parts of it and I REALLY want to read it again. I'm pretty sure it's a series, there should be at least two books. The earlier one is about a woman who doesn't want to get married and so runs away. Her mom helps her but is punished by her husband for doing so. Punishment meaning complete obedience in the bedroom with her husband. She is eventually caught and taken home and her husband is really good to her, falls in love, same old. I'm pretty sure she was punished by spanking. The next book is on her brother who gets a normal girl. The women in his family are punished by creating unfulfilled sexual needs, and his story goes on. I'm also pretty sure that there's a story on their parents as well and something about the mom being terrified of getting pregnant because the women in her planet don't ever get pregnant. She's a fighter as well and often challenges her husbands to duels she never/rarely wins. And that is all I remember. I REALLY want to read this series again and it's really bothering me so I really would appreciate the help!
