So I read this book over 2 yrs ago but I never got around to reviewing it properly. Embracing My Submission is the first title in The Doms of Genesis series by Jenna Jacob. The first time I picked up this book I had no idea what to expect but I was so pleasantly surprised. The story of Emerald and Micha was captivating. It begins with Emerald trying to find her ONE. The Master who will make her feel complete. Little does she know he's been watching her for yrs. When Emerald is in danger however Micha must make his presence felt and they both find themselves having to make some life changing decisions. Without spoiling it for any new readers who have yet to read this mesmerizing story I'll say that this is by far one of my favorite series. It's incredibly sexy and profoundly enlightening. It gives a wonderful glimpse into the BDSM lifestyle while still providing a thrilling story line a moving romance. I found myself tearing up at several points in this book. What Micha and Emerald have is really just beautiful. This was definitely a 5 star book in a 5 star series.

Ok...seriously....I LOVED THIS STORY!!
Jenna Jacobs blew me away with this first book in her Doms of Genesis series!
I've read her work before in the Doms of her Life series that she is the co-author of, but I think I just fell in love all over again. I really adored the Doms of her Life series and when I saw that Jenna Jacob's Doms of Genesis series being promoted by Shayla Black on social networking sites, I immediately knew I had to read them! I have a special preference for books like that, where the starring couple is part of the BDSM club and getting to know their life there and the other people.
So....about Embracing My Submission....
Emerald, aka Julianna, is a little spitfire vixen. She's been in the lifestyle for a few years now but outside of her horrible introduction to the lifestyle with her ex-master, she hasn't been owned. She's participated in a few scenes when her mentor, Daddy Drake (LOVE HIM) allowed it, but never with men. Only with Mistress Sammie. So...needless to say, she's a bit pent-up and frustrated.
On the inside, Julianna is also having some issues. Every night she is visited in her dreams by a woman speaking to her about her 'one'...Julianna dubs him Sir Drool. Fitting name for a hot piece of ass that haunts your dreams! LOL
Any who....after Daddy Drake finally allows Sir Jordan some time to get to know Emerald, shit seriously hits the fan and who comes to the rescue??? Sir Drool himself! ZOMG!
Sir Drool, aka Mika, aka Genesis owner, aka the Great and Powerful Oz, has his own dreams and demons to deal with before he can even contemplate what he wants with Emerald.
These two were a scream to read about! Aside from the constant tears from Julianna,I really have no complaints.
There was so much humor and I just loved Julianna's attitude. I loved that even though she's been in the lifestyle for a little while now, she is still so unsure of herself. She isn't cocky and thinking she's all that. She's very real. I would think she would be a like a lot of people in the lifestyle in real life.
Anyway, great story! Can't wait to continue on!

I mean what did I really expect. This was a fast read, the setting was okay, but ultimately was not a good book at all

DNF. Did not like Drake referring to Emerald and Trevor as brother and sister and having them doing totally non brother sister thing. The conversation was stiff and overly formal. And I had no connection or sympathy for the characters, so I gave up.
I really enjoyed this novel. The subject is as much about learning to accept your submission as it is about accepting the different stages of grief; whether loss of a loved one or loss of a painful past experience. Jenna Jacob takes us down a path of introspection, a road where things are not always easy to accept and yet without this, we cannot move forward.
Great job!
