Book Review: The Collar by: Tara Sue Me

The time is finally here. The release of "The Collar". I have been anticipating for this book for so long. Now I'm anticipating for "The Exhibionist".

Synopsis: Goodreads

Nathaniel and Abby are struggling to navigate the challenging waters of their own relationship, when they get a surprising phone call from their partners in play, Dena and Jeff, who are in need of a helping hand…

Seven years ago, blonde, beautiful lawyer Dena Jenkins was tired of her carefully controlled life. Desperate for something exhilarating to help her escape the pressures of her demanding job and her senator father, she joined a steamy, local BDSM club as a submissive. There she met brooding Dominant, Jeff. The attraction between them was undeniable, and, despite Dena’s doubts, they couldn’t stay away from each other.


Except, as the years have passed, their blazing connection has proven difficult to maintain. Dena and Jeff have a history they’d rather forget, but Dena can’t let go of the past, and Jeff is ready to move across the country to give her space. Now, to save their passion, they’ll have to rediscover what it means to trust each other—and give themselves to each other completely…

Review: (4.5)

I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the next book in “The Submissive” series. I was hooked from the first page of the first book and have stuck with the characters.

I was a little disappointed with this book. “The Collar” focuses on two characters from “The Enticement” and not on Abby and Nathaniel. Abby and Nathaniel barely appear. They appear here and there and that’s it. It doesn’t focus on them. I feel that if Tara Sue Me wanted to write about the characters that “The Collar” focuses on then she should have written a different book instead of continuing this series that is about Abby and Nathaniel. I wanted to read about them and not the characters I did read about.

With having said that, I did enjoy the story and the characters. Jeff and Dena were introduced to us as characters from Delaware from “The Enticement”. Their story is explained by going through the past and the present. How they met, what happened to them and where they are at now. They went through a trauma which caused them to break up. We follow their actions of trying to fix their relationship and hopefully getting back together.

Jeff comes off as a guy you don’t want to mess with. He is always wearing a stern expression. Dena is a strong willed woman. She knows what she wants and she takes it. They work beautifully together. As with every relationship, they have their problems, but they work through them one way or another.


Overall, though I’m disappointed Abby and Nathaniel’s story didn’t continue, I enjoyed reading about Jeff and Dena. I’m looking forward to what the next book will be about.
