Okay. I felt marginally better by the end when Nathaniel explains what he was doing with all of this. And I like that they renegotiate and start fresh.
Still, I have read better. But I'm will to continue and see where else it goes.

I enjoy erotica but had never read a sub-dom story before so I gave this one a try. It is well written, the sex scenes don't have any of the clichés you often run across in this genre and focus more on the acts than the sensations (though there is some of that too). The story is reasonably good and the characters are likable. I doubt I will continue the series but it was an enjoyable read.
This book was enjoyable though the hero's issues were tiring. I'd be interested in reading more in the series but not at $10+ each - especially with pov retellings and the same couple getting multiple books.
I FINISHED THIS IN ONE DAY..I cant remember when I was able to do that. Although it did capture my attention from the very first paragraph because let me tell you there is no building up to the encounter..Abby is the submissive from the very beginning..I had to flip back to make sure I started from the beginning and up I did. What is it about this "50 Shades of Grey" genre books that just draw me in. I liked this book a lot and I am glad that we get to read from Nathaniel's POV in book 2..Abby the shy librarian and Nat the wealthy CEO are a great couple together and I love his family they are so loving. But Nat can be an a$$ in this book and Abby did the right thing by leaving him but I knew he didn't mean what he said but I dropped my jaw at what he said to her. The arrangement that they came up with at the end will hopefully work out well.
I don't usually read these types of book but I've been immersed in Fantasy lately so I wanted to read something different.
I have to say I skimmed most of the sex scenes - I know, it's ridiculous when this book is all about them but I was more interested in the characters and their developing relationships. I wanted to read this book because the topic interested me since it's a lifestyle you don't hear much about. Why do people do it? How do they organise themselves between their daily lives and their lifestyle? Why does society react negatively to it? Well, the academic in me was curious although I am aware this was not the most appropriate way to have my questions answered.
I really loved these characters, I love reading about their conversations and the time spent together. I loved Abby as a protagonist.
And when Abby and Nathaniel started quoting poetry to each other? I melted!
The thing is, as much as I love these characters they lack a certain depth to them. They're still enjoyable to read about but they're certainly not memorable. The writing is very weak: the descriptions are minimal which would sometimes confuse me and there aren't enough contemplative moments for Abby's POV.
I don't think I'm going to keep reading this series. I felt okay with how it ended.

You may recognize this little guy by its title or even by the author's name–especially if you once frequented FF.net anywhere from 2007-2009. That would be because; once upon a time, before Fifty Shades of Grey made its splash and earned itself some notoriety as a pop culture phenomenon, there was another immensely popular Twilight fanfiction by the name of The Submissive.
Although each have similar characteristics and plots, their stories are entirely different. I obviously prefer this one and always have. Don't let their similarities sway your judgement, however: they simply mirror one another given their conception–and that’s okay.
Like countless other readers, I adored it at the time of its original release. I waited patiently for updates and counted down the days until its next chapter. I was always itching to get my hands on more fanfiction and The Submissive snuck up on me one day while I scrolled through a friends favorites list. It was everything I could have asked for.
Its sexual content was only a plus for a then-teenaged (but still legal) me. Who could resist some smutty goodness, am I right? I’m totally right.

If you're a fan of the "Fifty Shades" or "Crossfire" books, you'll enjoy this one. Yes, it's another fan fiction series, but worth reading if you like the genre.
