The Collar by Tara Sue Me

2.0

After falling in love with Abby and Nathaniel's journey, I really wanted to give this one a try (and having it involve them so much really helped). It was kind of fun exploring Dena and Jeff's dynamic and past. Traveling back and forth through time was the right way to tell their story. It's not as steamy as the others in the Submissive series, but romance journey makes up for it.

this is my review for The Submissive:
I was recommended this series, and again made the decision to read at least the first one to give it a try. Very quickly I needed more. If you're looking for the perfect D/S relationship book, THIS is the one to dive into! Toss your Fifty Shades and Replace it with Submissive. It's got the D/S hook, it's smutty, it's cheesy, it's instalove, it's complicated, it's fun. When you want to read a D/S book because you're interested in how things could be in the community or because you're in the community, this is the way to go. It has an equal amount of instalove, D/S, and romance. A sweet balance of sweet and spicy. But if you're going to start this one, be prepared to read more of the series.

this is my review for The Dominant:
As a second book in a series rarely does, The Dominant keeps up with The Submissive. Which is surprising, since they're essentially the same story. And although I liked being in Abigail's thoughts, I enjoyed being in Nathaniel's head space even more.

this is my review for The Training:
This one was just as fun to read as the first two in the trilogy. We're comfortable to Abby and Nathaniel. It's sensual, yet there's something pure about it. It explores their trust and the relationship they've managed to build together through trials and tribulations. It's the beautiful, romantic side in a D/S relationship. Something that books rarely explore.

this is my review for The Chalet:
This is a sweet extra for the Submissive series. Definitely written with fans in mind. It doesn't lack steam, but I love how it was really about them as a couple, exploring their dynamic becoming newlyweds.

this is my review for The Enticement:
I started the Submissive journey with the idea it was only a trilogy. So you can imagine my surprise when I discovered this one! And surprised I was reading it! It focuses on Abby outside of the bedroom, who she is and who she has become focusing on Nathaniel's needs. But don't worry, it's still steamy! Their dynamic shifts with this one, and it's exciting to watch Abby not only becoming even stronger as a person, but their relationship become stronger as well.
