The Training: The Submissive Trilogy by Tara Sue Me

2.0

I am going to bow out gracefully from this series. I just can't do it anymore. I can't with Nathaniel and Abby's inner dialogue.

Nathaniel is supposed to be a 34 year old man that has been a dom for 10 years. He's one of the top 20 richest people. He comes across as insecure, especially in the dom role. I mean that's the one place he should be confident. Right off the bat he's questioning if he can be both a dom and a lover. Seriously, I almost shut the book right then. And it just got worse from there. 'Oh no, I'm a bad dom. I have someone to talk to but poor Abby has no one. Oh whatever am I going to do?' Oh that's right, he's going to call Paul.

Then you have Abby who can't answer questions because she doesn't want to disappoint her master. It was so over the top in some spots and just so completely unrealistic as well. Then this whole we don't know how to just live and be people. I needed them to figure out how to adult sooner in this series.

Not to mention, these books are really expensive for an e-book. Thankfully, I was able to get these three through my library app, but there is absolutely no way I will pay $9.99 for any future books. If I had hope that Nathaniel would put his big boy pants and actually act like a dom, maybe. But after three books he still hasn't figured it out, I'm good. I'll pass on this one.
