review 1: Reviewed on behalf of Fictional BookHos:+++I am often asked my opinion about which books are like Fifty Shades. I give the usual suggestions, This Man, Crossfire, Stark Trilogy, etc. Now I can add to that list the Dominant Trilogy. So far A Dominant Man is the only volume published, but I've been assured there will be three books eventually.This book reminded me a lot of Fifty Shades, with a little bit of Crossfire mixed in. In fact, maybe it reminded me a bit too much of Fifty Shades. I understand wanting to copy from the best, but I do wish the author had been just a bit more original with her story. Lack of originality is the main reason this review is 4 stars instead of 5 stars.A Dominant Man features Damian Hunt as the young handsome billionaire with a tortured ... morepast and a fondness for BDSM. And Gabrielle Hyde as the beautiful young girl with her own dark secrets to be revealed. Gabrielle however is not a virginal college student. She has a best male friend (and ex-boyfriend) who is in love with her, and another ex-boyfriend who still loves her and wants her back. He paints giant embarrassing pictures of her and displays them for the whole world to see as a sign of his love for her.The relationship between Damian and Gabrielle moves astonishingly fast, even for one of these books. Most of the novel takes place within one very busy and passionate week. The chemistry of the two main characters is hot and steamy, and I'm sure Damian will find his way into your list of book boyfriends. The sex scenes are numerous and suitably hot and dirty. Definitely a book for those 18 and over. Damian does not have a Red Room of Pain, but he does have a Dungeon of Domination, an apartment where his submissives lived, and where he kept his BDSM toys.Damian has a wayward brother, Dante, and several sisters, one of whom, Olivia, is not at all what she seems at first glance. Olivia and Dante are one seriously twisted couple, but it does not become clear until toward the end of the book just how twisted they are.If you are in the mood for something very much like Fifty Shades, then this book will probably fill that desire. If you want something different, then you might want to look elsewhere. I enjoyed this book, and I am looking forward to the sequel. It does end on a bit of a cliff hanger, so do be aware of that. You will have to wait for the next book to see what happens next.
review 2: While I enjoy sex scenes, I thought that the ones in this book were long & drawn out. That being said, the story line was good & Hunt yummy. The fact that it is part of a series and ended with a cliffhanger was also a huge turnoff. I felt that the story could have been told just as well & been significantly shorter.While I would like to know how the story ends, I don't think I will be reading the next in the series as this one was a struggle for me to finish less
