Embracing My Submission: The Doms of Genesis (BDSM Erotic Romance) by Jenna Jacob

4.0

Pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book!

Julianna has been a member of Genesis (BDSM club) for years, helping out as needed and waiting for a Dom to claim her. She's the only un-collared sub at Genesis, which causes her plenty of embarrassment and self-doubt. After Julianna is attacked by a new club member, Mika comes to her rescue. It turns out that Mika looks very familiar to Julianna because she's been dreaming about him for quite some time. Mika is a bit of a ghost - very few people know he exists. Julianna believes that Mika is the Dom for her, but Mika has some heartbreak from his past that won't let him easily move forward with Julianna. Ultimately, a life-or-death situation helps them over that hurdle and their relationship progresses.

I was wondered if this would be similar to other BDSM-themed books I've read, but it was better! There was so much depth to these characters and I feel like the author did an amazing job of explaining the lifestyle. There was a lot of discussion and communication between the characters, so it wasn't a lot of (crazy hot!) sex scenes and a storyline lacking substance. Overall, everything about this book was more than I expected.
