The Dominant by Tara Sue Me

So I discovered that this is not so much a book two but a “read along” with book one, The Submissive, so basically the same book just the male perspective. I have to say based on that alone I don’t like it. I have always found the flip view of the same book just a money maker for the author. I usually don’t have an issue with this practice as most authors do this AFTER a series is done. So that it is more of a love letter to fans. But when it is done in the middle of a series??? Nope, not a fan.

So now my thoughts on the actual book. Meh. From the get go if you haven’t read book one you are a bit confused. When and where did they meet? How did she know he was into this? And so on.

I didn’t feel any connection at all to either character and it all felt like sex by the numbers. Not to mention I found Nathanial to be very much a selfish lover verses a dominate one. I am sorry to say The Dominant just didn’t do it for me.

From the cover.....

Nathaniel West doesn’t lose control.

As the playboy CEO of West Industries, he governs the boardroom during the day; as a strict dominant with exacting rules, he commands the bedroom at night. He never takes on inexperienced submissives, but when Abigail King’s application comes across his desk, he breaks his own restrictions and decides to test her limits.

Abby’s combination of innocence and willingness is intoxicating, and Nathaniel is soon determined to collar her as his own. As long as she follows his orders and surrenders herself fully to him, no one will get hurt.

But when Nathaniel begins falling for Abby on a deeper level, he realizes that the trust must go both ways—and he has secrets which could bring the foundations of their entire relationship crashing down.
