The Submissive

Lover of Romance 

The Submissive is the first book in the submissive series and this is a series that I have really been wanting to read and it's been on my TBR for years! I finally grabbed this one up here and I am so thrilled that I did because it was such a solid BDSM romance. And this book just really handles so much of the BDSM elements so well. Which comes to no surprise if you have read this author before. This story starts out very intensely sexual, there is such strong vibes that connect these two. I really liked the backstory to their connection and how them meeting and having a dom/sub relationship is not by chance. I really loved both the characters and seeing their relationship grow and some of these scenes that they are in, are just perfection and really build upon their relationship but there are also times when we see them outside and really connect outside of being a dom/sub to each other, where they are just sweet lovers and friends. I was captivated by their romance and seeing their character growth. We get some challenges that they need to overcome, as Nathaniel has some personal demons that he needs to overcome, as he doesn't let himself become emotionally invested. But seeing the way that Abby really pushes him to open himself up to emotion and love was one of my favorite aspects to her character. She has such strength and courage to stand for what she deserves in the relationship. I truly found The Submissive to be such a strong beginning to the series and will set the stage for books next in the series.

Ultra rich damaged billionaire who is a Dom and the woman who likes it ... it's a story we heard a lot of as of late BUT I got to say I am not tired of it. 

This is a sweet tale of BDSM ... I know that's an oxymoron but whatevs. 

This story is about Nathaniel and Abigail through Abigail's eyes and it's not about vindictive bitches trying to cause trouble in the relationship. It's about a relationship that may have not started out as what one may say is normal but it worked for them.

Bonus-- I enjoyed the fact that Abigail knew what she wanted and went after what she wanted. 

I can't wait to read Book 2!

I FINISHED THIS IN ONE DAY..I cant remember when I was able to do that. Although it did capture my attention from the very first paragraph because let me tell you there is no building up to the encounter..Abby is the submissive from the very beginning..I had to flip back to make sure I started from the beginning and up I did. What is it about this "50 Shades of Grey" genre books that just draw me in. I liked this book a lot and I am glad that we get to read from Nathaniel's POV in book 2..Abby the shy librarian and Nat the wealthy CEO are a great couple together and I love his family they are so loving. But Nat can be an a$$ in this book and Abby did the right thing by leaving him but I knew he didn't mean what he said but I dropped my jaw at what he said to her. The arrangement that they came up with at the end will hopefully work out well.

I’m not sure why I did this to myself. I think almost every chapter had at least one sex scene and it wasn’t even hot 😭

You may recognize this little guy by its title or even by the author's name–especially if you once frequented FF.net anywhere from 2007-2009. That would be because; once upon a time, before Fifty Shades of Grey made its splash and earned itself some notoriety as a pop culture phenomenon, there was another immensely popular Twilight fanfiction by the name of The Submissive.

Although each have similar characteristics and plots, their stories are entirely different. I obviously prefer this one and always have. Don't let their similarities sway your judgement, however: they simply mirror one another given their conception–and that’s okay.

Like countless other readers, I adored it at the time of its original release. I waited patiently for updates and counted down the days until its next chapter. I was always itching to get my hands on more fanfiction and The Submissive snuck up on me one day while I scrolled through a friends favorites list. It was everything I could have asked for.

Its sexual content was only a plus for a then-teenaged (but still legal) me. Who could resist some smutty goodness, am I right? I’m totally right.
