I don't even know what to say about this. It's just a lot more of the same thing we've already read...A LOT. If you're looking into reading this book then I assume you know what your getting into. It's like 50 Shades, maybe a little better written, but it's really nothing particularly interesting or new.
Da jeg så at denne bog handlede om en bibliotekar, tænkte jeg - ha, den må jeg læse!
Bogen er i samme stil som Fifty Shades, Breathless og hvad der ellers er. Ofte kan det være svært at skille de forskellige serier ad, men jeg synes alligevel at den her er en af de bedre.
I forhold til Fifty Shades, hvor selve historie måske halter lidt engang i mellem, synes jeg faktisk at der er en decideret handling i denne bog.
Abigail King har en fantasi om at være Nathaniel West's submissive - hans og ingen andens. Hun har ingen erfaring, ikke noget kendskab til miljøet, men hun vækker alligevel Nathaniels interesse, fordi han ved udmærket godt hvem hun er... Problem er blot, at jo længere ind i hans verden Abigail kommer, jo mere forelsker hun sig i ham - og han i hende, han vil bare ikke indrømme det! Og hvad gør man så? Ja, læs og blive klogere.
Jeg var godt underholdt hele vejen igennem og bogen er velskrevet. Sexscenerne er ikke så udpenslede som i Fifty Shades, og det synes jeg egentlig er ganske ok - det kan også godt blive for meget! Men en god bog - glæder mig til 2'eren!

If you're a fan of E.L. James and Sylvia Day, you'll enjoy this read. In the beginning it felt a bit rote. I actually looked up the copyrights for both "Fifty Shades" and "Bared to You" to see if maybe there was some copying going on, but they were all copyrighted around the same time in the same year.
After the first few chapters I got into the story and the characters. I enjoyed this book and I'm looking forward to the next installment.

To me The Submissive is a better written version of 50 Shades. People rave about that book, I however never finished it because the writing was just that bad. So I like to think this was what E.L. was trying to get across to her readers.
Abigail wanted to be submissive, but only to Nathaniel. To me their relationship was a bit cold and clinical, but that could just be the way D/s relationships are. He showed her no affection or warmth but he was always saying how it was his responsibility to take care of her. To me that would entail her emotional care as well.
He does come around in the end so that helped. Even though he was cold and detached, I never disliked him. I never felt that that he humiliated her any way. They had some very hot times, as well as some times that I wouldn't go for, but to each their own.
As far as the secondary characters go, I didn't care for Abby's BFF Felicia. she seemed very annoying. Scenes with her I tended to want to skip over them. But other than that, I enjoyed the read once I removed myself from the characters and just read it like I was on the outside watching instead of being a part of the characters living it.

Some similarities to FSOG but I like being in Abby's head slightly more because she's more mature and she actually wants to be a submissive to Nathaniel's Dom side.

Great read! I honestly couldn't put it down. I thought Abby and Nathan were interesting and intriguing characters and I was immediately pulled into their world.
I loved that Abby sought Nathaniel out, it put a whole different perspective on the Dom/sub relationship for me and I really enjoyed it. I really liked Abby and her I'm going to do this attitude. I thought she had great internal dialogue and I found it entertaining. I like that she thought things through, tried to be logical, and knew her limits.
Nathaniel was awesome! Yes, he was a big, bad, sexy dom but he had a sweet and caring side too that I found extremely endearing and I wanted to know more. I was drawn to him. I loved seeing Nathaniel grow and change, it gave me lots of awww moments.
The love the two of them together and like their chemistry. There are playful scenes where you can really see their personalities. There were also lots of sexy times. Very sensual, erotic, and steamy. I didn't think there was anything over the top or overly descriptive though, which was nice. I thought the scenes were well written.
There is a scene at the end that I absolutely LOVED and then one that broke my heart. Needless to say there was a fair amount of drama that had me on the edge of my seat right at the end. I was worried there would be a cliffhanger but it wrapped up nicely even though I still wanted to know more about Nathaniel.
I don't feel like this was an extremely heavy book but for me it had just the right amount of everything I needed for a great read. Great characters, ultra hot, sensual times, romances, and drama. And just the right amount of lighthearted moments too. I will definitely read the rest in the series.
