review 1: Reviewed by LoriBook provided by the author for reviewReview originally posted at Romancing the BookI have to admit since I’m among friends here that I have an emotional commitment to this series. When I reviewed the first two books, I had no idea what I was getting myself into and now I am fully committed to reading as much of this series as I can get my grubby little hands on. I’m still unsure of how I feel about all aspects of the BDSM lifestyle. It scares me and I feel better when the author conveys the submissives’ anxieties, fears, and uncertainties within the story. I don’t know if I could commit to a BDSM relationship and it intrigues me when these strong independent women enter into these kinds of relationships. These kinds of stories help me live vicariou... moresly through the submissive’s point of view, as well as the dom’s point of view.This story involves one of the owners of club submission and his story. I really wanted to know more about one of the owners of the sex club. What is he like in his personal relationships? What kind of a man is he? What kind of a dom is he? Is he a good man? Is he a jerk? Matthew is a very strong man and is committed to ensuring that things WILL go his way. He can be very uncompromising at times but he really has Kelly’s best interest at heart. He’s not a jerk but he can be overbearing. He’s not gentle, and he loves in his own way.Kelly is a woman that is used to doing things her way and learns the hard way that the only way is Matthew’s way. I wanted to not like Matthew because he could be so hard toward Kelly, but he was the way that he is to help her find the freedom she needed. It sounds overwhelming and it can be, but Matthew protects Kelly from those overwhelming feelings and helps her be a better person.I have to admit that while Matthew wouldn’t be the kind of dude I could see myself with, I respect him because of his value system and his commitment to his relationship, his business and to himself. Kelly is a strong woman and she comes to realize that submitting doesn’t make her weak it makes her a women who is in touch with what makes her happy and whole. I really like that about her. I have to say that the climax of the story took me by surprise and I have to hand it to you Jan that I had no idea. You totally rock. If BDSM is your thing, invest in this series, and if you’re new to this genre, give them a try.
review 2: The premise of a prominent female CEO entering the world of BDSM as a sub had a fascination for me. Would she fall down and cave in as a simpering girl once the action started heating up or would she find out she's really a Domme and turn the Dom himself into HER sub? I do have to say that this author created a believable story line adventure in tackling this. The two central characters played well off each other although I would have liked to have seen a little more snarky dialogue between the two to spice it up a little. I am a sucker for the battle of the sexes slant. The scenes are juicy but written more with the goal of pleasuring the female character. The POV writing changes from Matthew to Kelly which I didn't care for to a high degree as it takes some of the mystery out of the story but some may like that. There were parts of this story that I myself felt were problematic which is a reason I went down a notch with the rating but posting those parts would be spoilers and I don't do spoilers. I will post a couple vague comments that you will understand after reading this book. If a loving child's parent is sick in the hospital or rehab unit I would think that child would spend all their time there except for when they need to be at work. If someone who is recognizable wants to protect their secrecy and worries about exposure why didn't they use a mask or even a wig as a disguise. And, if you work at a prominent fortune 500 company I would expect that you can afford to hire the top of the line products, services, and independent contractors when you need to. Just sayin. less
