The Submissive (Submissive #1)

This book was my introduction into the erotic world of Tara Sue Me. I initially read this book in February 2015 but did not review it. I became an instant fan and have devoured each subsequent book. These characters are so rich, multilayered, dynamic and charismatic. Their stories are so well written you can easily immerse yourself in them. Pure reading entertainment!

Abigail King is about to enter a world she’s longed for. The world of Dominance and submission. Nathaniel West is Dom through and through but taking on an untrained sub is something that he doesn’t do. He fulfills her longing with his Dominance as he trains her and despite her inexperience she pleases him greatly. However he remains somewhat aloof while she is definitely falling big time for him.

All i have to say was that this book was very interesting and very well written, I can say that by reading this book I can tell that Nathaniel didn’t expect to fall in love during this whole submissive relationship because he came off strong and very hard and at times very not friendly. But as for abby she didn’t mind not one bit because to her she was getting her dreams come truth by having to spend time with nathaniel something that she have always wanted and to her she was falling for Nathaniel really hard and fast because with her seems to enjoy every lesson he had given her expect the seen where she had to get on the whipping bench for the first time and i think it had scared a bit but after she was with the experience i think that she had enjoyed a little bit more than her liking. But I think that once Elaina had found out who abby was to nathaniel she wasn’t shocked at all nor was she judgmental about it to abby because i think that abby was expecting her to be a little judgmental like Felicia was in the beginning. But I think that once abby had gotten into the car accident i think that is when Nathaniel feelings for abby started to change like he had falling in love with her but he didn’t know how to tell her except for letting her go so easily and i think once abby finally used her safe word in left that when he realized he was in love with abby and as for Felicia she had finally come around to liking nathaniel once she realized how much her best friend abby had falling in love with him and felicia her self finally got her happy ending.

There is a reason that the original of something is always better and Tara Sue Me shows us why. Nathaniel and Abbys love is evident from the beginning even while Nathaniel tries to hide his emotions. Hard sex and verbal sparring made me knees weak and my heart swoon.

[I was honestly a little bit pissed off and my love for fifty shades slipped another notch when I realized how many familiar concepts I was reading, knowing that this book came out before fifty shades. Im not saying that to dissuade you from your love of fifty, but COME ON. Regardless, THE SUBMISSIVE is extremely well written and I actually loved BOTH characters. In the first book. Its a masterful *cough* concept, I know.]

This book will flip your mind around about the way a Dom should treat his sub. Its a completely consensual power struggle that Abby desires and Nathaniel craves. Abby hasnt lived in the lifestyle before, and she has no desire to be a sub to anyone other than Nathaniel, but she knows that she needs to submit, and she knows that she wants to do that with Nathaniel. She sees that he looks impassive and unfeeling, but she knows that his heart is pure and good.

The stars align and Abby finds herself in Nathaniels high rise office begging, in the only the way that a submissive can, to be his sub. Nathaniels not exactly interested in training a green sub, but theres something about Abby that he cant stay away from.There are ups and downs, as youd expect, but Abby has a backbone and shes not afraid to use it. LOVED THAT.

This story is full of so much kinky deliciousness that will have you thankful that Amazon doesnt judge when you one-click the hell out of those butt plugs. I absolutely adored the way that Nathaniel treated Abby. He constantly cares for her, even though hes clearly trying not to care too much for her. Silly man. Abbys pretty much a goner for him at the very first utterance of Sir. Naked picnics, super bowl sex (holy mother of f@-k that was hot), and snow days only increase the need that develops between them both.

There is so much sex in this book its surprising that they each work, but I was totally not complaining. I mean, theres library sex. LIBRARY SEX. I was already addicted to this series, but the library sex made reading this series a compulsion. Sprinkled between the erotic trysts is a substantial amount of romance and banter that solidified my love for Nathaniel and had me smiling like a lunatic.

If you havent read this series yet, and you like BDSM play, you need this now. Yesterday. Back in 2012.

I love this series so hard! #MustRead. #SmutClassic.

I got this book in over last weekend and I literally couldnt put it down when I started it. I was engrossed in the vivid imagery and details of it all. Its not a very thick book and chapters are only a few pages long so if you read rather fast you are going to want the complete trilogy or you will be waiting for the others to come in as I am. Withdrawals to say the least until I get the Dominant in. I rather liked the fact that Abby was the one who sought out Nathaniel. She read over his contract of what he expected as did he do the same with her soft limits and hard limits. Everything was put on the table before anything physical ever occurred. Great book!

I have read The Submissive before but it must have been before I started leaving written reviews. This book has been on my Kindle since August 2013. Let me just say that I enjoyed this book just as much as the last time. I am trying to get ready to review the latest book in The Submissive Trilogy. Although, I think this has turned into The Submissive Series because there are many more books than a Trilogy.

This is Nathaniel & Abigail’s story. I feel that you can read the synopsis yourself and that the author does a great job giving you just the right part of the book so no need for me to repeat the story.

I love Tara Me Sue’s writing style! I have the next book in this series on my Kindle and I actually have the audiobook so I will let you know how I like the next story and the audio.

This book was not an ARC and I give it 4.5 stars. I am looking forward to starting on the Dominant as soon as I finish writing this ARC.
