Book Review: The Submissive by: Tara Sue Me

I thought today that I would post up a book review. I wrote this a few months ago, but due to anticipation of the new book in the series, I thought I would periodically post up the reviews of the current books in the series. Starting with the first one, of course.

Synopsis: Goodreads

Abby King has a secret fantasy.

New York knows Nathaniel West as the brilliant and handsome CEO of West Industries, but Abby knows he’s more: a sexy and skilled dominant who is looking for a new submissive. Yearning to experience a world of pleasure beyond her simple life as a librarian, Abby offers herself to Nathaniel, to fulfill her most hidden desires.

After only one weekend with the Master, Abby knows she needs more, and fully submits to Nathaniel’s terms. But despite the pleasure he takes in Abby’s willing spirit, the Nathaniel hidden behind the rules remains cold and distant.

As Abby falls deeper into his tantalizing world of power and passion, she fears that Nathaniel’s heart may be beyond her reach—and that her own might be beyond saving…

Review: (5 stars)

I found out that E.L. James got a lot of her ideas for Fifty Shades of Grey, so I had to read this as soon as possible.

Going into this I cleared my mind so that I wouldn’t compare the two and just enjoy the ride this book would take me on, though I did pick up on the similarities.

We meet Abby as she is going into Nathaniel’s office. She goes to his office fully aware of what she was getting herself into.

Nathaniel is a sophisticated and calm type of man. When Abby doesn’t follow a rule, he doesn’t flip out on her, he keeps himself calm. Abby is the type of character that knows what she wants and gets what she wants in a good kind of way. She is a character you can look up to because of her attitude towards what she wants and how she achieves to get that.

We get a look more in depth of what a dom/sub relationship is all about. Not only that, but we get a look into their private lives a bit more than just the story focusing on them the whole time. The chemistry between the two characters is great. Not only do they get along in Nathaniel’s lifestyle, but also on the other side of things and that’s nice to see.

The story was very well-written and loved the pace that it had. It was too fast, but wasn’t too slow either. We were able to get a good sense of the characters and their backgrounds. I’m glad to see where the author will take the characters and the story.
