Book Review: The Training by: Tara Sue Me

Time for another review to "The Submissive" series.

Synopsis: Goodreads

It started with a hidden desire.

Millionaire CEO Nathaniel West has always played by his own strict set of rules, ones he expects everyone to follow—especially the women he’s dominated in his bedroom. But his newest lover is breaking down all his boundaries and rewriting his rule book.

Abby King never imagined that she would capture the heart of Nathaniel West, one of New York City’s most eligible bachelors—and its most desirable dominant. What began as a weekend arrangement of pleasure has become a passionate romance with a man who knows every inch of her body and her soul – yet remains an enigmatic lover. Though he is tender and caring, his painful past remains a wall between them.

Abby knows the only way to truly earn his trust is to submit to him fully and let go of all of her lingering inhibitions. Because to lead Nathaniel on a path to greater intimacy, she must first let him deeper into her world than anyone has ever gone before…

Review: (5 stars)

This is a continuation of The Submissive and The Dominant. It picks up right where those two ended.

Instead of being in Abby’s point of view or being in Nathaniel’s point of view, we are in both. Some chapters are through Abby, while some are in Nathaniel’s. I enjoyed the mixture of the both. At some points I wished we could have switched perspectives during certain events, but in the end having a combination of both was very good for reading about these characters. Being able to see through both of their eyes, we get to explore their relationship a bit more for the both of them.

The plot focuses on Abby and Nathaniel starting their Dom/Sub relationship over again and them figuring out what works and what doesn’t.

Paul and his wife Christine made an appearance when Abby and Nathaniel visit them. I am glad that they were part of the story more and that we got to see how they balance their Dom/Sub relationship, but also their love relationship.

Not only do we get to see how they make it work, but we go even deeper into the Dom/Sub community. Nathaniel takes Abby to a party so she can see how others play. This installment was more informative about these types of relationships. It went into more detail.

This was originally a trilogy, but now there are more books coming out because of this, the epilogue wasn’t really an ending. If it stayed a trilogy, it would have been a cute ending to a great trilogy. I’m looking forward to see how Tara Sue Me will write the next books since the epilogue was sent into their future. Hopefully, things will come together nicely. I would like to see the other books lead up to their future from this epilogue.
