Book Review: The Dominant by: Tara Sue Me

It's that time to post my review for the second book in "The Submissive" series by Tara Sue Me. The other day I found out that next February there is going to be a 7th book in this series. I got so happy when I found that out. Onto the review:

Synopsis: Goodreads

Nathaniel West doesn’t lose control.

As the playboy CEO of West Industries, he governs the boardroom during the day; as a strict dominant with exacting rules, he commands the bedroom at night. He never takes on inexperienced submissives, but when Abigail King’s application comes across his desk, he breaks his own restrictions and decides to test her limits.

Abby’s combination of innocence and willingness is intoxicating, and Nathaniel is soon determined to collar her as his own. As long as she follows his orders and surrenders herself fully to him, no one will get hurt.

But when Nathaniel begins falling for Abby on a deeper level, he realizes that the trust must go both ways—and he has secrets which could bring the foundations of their entire relationship crashing down...

Review: (5 stars)

I was apprehensive when I started this because I didn’t know how I was going to like it. 

This is 'The Submissive' told in Nathaniel’s point of view. Once I started, I left my previous thoughts behind. 

I really enjoyed being able to see things through Nathaniel’s eyes. We got a sense of who he is as a person when he was with his friends and his family. He may seem all put together on the outside, but on the inside, he still hasn’t fully grown into the man he is because of issues from his past. 

Abby helps him realize that he needs help when she left him. His cousin and mentor were there to get him out of the place he went when she left and got him to get himself back on track.

Being able to hear his thoughts and his conversations with those he knows, it shows how much he really cares for Abby. His feelings are put to the test a lot, from when she got into a car accident to the point where she left. He has a lot of inner struggles with himself when it comes to Abby and I liked being able to see that. 

One character that appeared I enjoyed seeing was Nathaniel’s mentor Paul. I loved him from the first time we met him. Paul doesn’t take anything from Nathaniel and is there for him when he messed up and helped him to realize what he needed to do. Not only that, but also to talk him how relationships like theirs can change when they turn to be romantic. 

I was able to empathize with Nathaniel and with being able to do so he grew on me more. With Abby and Nathaniel being able to start to fix things between them. I’m looking forward to see how their relationship grows and where it will lead them in the future.
