review 1: Aye Yai Yai...I fought my mind tooth and nail to finish this! I may write more later, but probably not. I'm not going to trash this first half of the series...I'll just say this. PRO: I'm giving it 3 stars because it's written perfectly. No grammatical errors, and very detailed sex scenes. CON: I made zero..and I mean ZERO connection to any character in these books. Johnathan is probably the only character I even kind of liked. Monica (the heroine) completely turned me off from reading anymore of this series. For me to like a book...and this is just one girls opinion....I have to like the heroine. I wouldn't go near her with a 10 foot pole.
review 2: The first sequence in the Songs of Submission series has got me ALL tangled up and confused, and frankly- loving... more every bit of it. Beg Tease and Submit as a package is simply flawless from a readers standpoint, yet a bit screwy from a real world aspect. These novellas dealt with some major traumatic experiences that gripped my heart so tight. It wouldn't have been so bad if Ms. Reiss hadn't made me fall so in love with the characters only to give them an even further shitty hand in life. However, Jonathan and Monica have already been through the ringer before, I think they both thrive off the challenges life throws at them. You take the erotic and peculiar relationship of Jonathan and Monica coupled with the emotional blitzes in all three novellas and I was left with my head spinning and wondering how in the world I made it this long without Jonathan Drazen in my life.Let's expand on our dear and beloved Jonathan. He's definitely got some skeletons in his closet, and a past he just can't let go of. I'm positive we will see more of his demons in the later books. Side note: Holy hell this man is hot. As in alpha, down and dirty, sex god hot. Monica, on the other hand, is just trying to make her break in the music world. While she tries to act like an Ice Queen, she melts even at the sight of Jonathan (who can blame her?), and is eventually twisted up in several different webs of half truths, lies, and deceit. It'll be a miracle if they can both continue down this road fairly unscathed. From the get-go I wanted Jonathan and Monica to drop the aloof act they were laying out. I mean they screwed each others brains out but, they'd never let it go further. In comes a few third parties who are trying to play cat and mouse with the couple. Suffice it to say there's a shit storm or two. Throughout the entirety of this set I couldn't pinpoint where it was going next. I enjoyed most of the surprises but, a few of them almost hurt too much to read. But, I got through it. One thing you can always count on CD Reiss for, is to never give you a cookie cutter book. She's not capable of it. Her books give mind fuckery a good name. These novellas simply rocked my world. I devoured them, and can't wait to get my hands on the next set as well. I love when I can read a book and feel like I'm experiencing everything for the first time. The world of Monica and Jonathan is so unlike my world and any other world I have ever read. It's dark and light, bad and good. I can never solidify my feelings when I'm reading these books. It's the ultimate escape. To get personal for a second, I had one of the worst weeks ever last week. This book was able to absorb my full attention, and I got an extremely needed and blissful break from reality. I'm not sure many other books would have been able to do that. So for that, I thank you Ms. Reiss. In short, I recommend this set, series, etc to the moon and back. It's a one-of-a-kind gem that I enjoyed thoroughly!Happy Reading!*Review copy provided by the author in exchange for an honest review* less
