The Original!!!
Bewertet mit 5 Sternen
First, I have to say that I have read this as Twilight Fan Fiction years ago and loved it. Also, I HATE bringing up FSoG in a review about this book because I hate Fifty Shades of Grey with a passion but it don't have choice, I shall explain that. What's very important to state, is that The Submissive was originally published in January 2009, way prior to the release of FSoG. Both authors admit to writing this as a Twilight fanfiction and that's fine. But E.L. James copied names and background info from Twilight and stole the story form The Submissive. E.L. James is nothing but a thief! So before anyone starts foaming at the mouth about how this is another knock off of "Fifty Shades" - it's not. This came first!!! Plus, FSoG is very poorly writen, this one isn't.
The Submissive by Tara Sue Me, already has a very special place in my heart. I read this trilogy back when it was online and we had to wait chapter by agonizing chapter to find out what happens next. I can't begin to express how excited and happy I am that Tara decided to publish her original work.
It will be treasure among my favorites for life.
Abby was easy to like. Even though she's a librarian, she's not shy or hesitant and she knows what she wants and that is Nathaniel, anyway she can get him. Librarian by day, Abby King harbors the deep desire to be stripped of her control, to hand that power over to another and she suspects that the handsome and powerful CEO, Nathaniel West, is just the one to turn her fantasies into reality.
Nathanial is a complicated man, but that is what makes him so interesting and appealing! He is looking for a new submissive and Abby has applied for the “position,” but one there’s one problem: she has never actually submitted to anyone before and Nathanial doesn’t have the time to train her.
As their story progresses we discover more about their pasts; events that shaped them and even altered the course of their lives. And most importantly we will better understand how their meeting came about and why. Not everything is as it seems…. I will say not more!
What I thoroughly enjoyed was the game this couple played with reciting poetry and guessing who wrote the verse. It just added that extra "something" to the story in my opinion!
There is no cliff-hanger. Instead next there is book 2, The Dominant, from Nathanials POV. Excellent plot! Captivating, sexy and memorable hero! Sizzling sex scenes! If you enjoy reading about light BDSM this story is for you.
Overall I highly recommend this one. So much better than Fifty. SO MUCH BETTER!
