August BDSM BlogHop

2 August, 2012 by Eliza Gayle

Welcome to my post in the BDSM BlogHop hosted by the always fabulous Scorching Book Reviews. I’m very happy you came by.

I’ve been writing BDSM Romance for many years now and I’m often asked why I write it. The plain truth is I write it because BDSM is near and dear to my heart. If you haven’t read any of my stories, I invite you to check out my books page so you can see what I have to offer. If you’ve read any or all of the books already, thank you from the bottom of my heart. It’s been a real privilege to write stories that others want to read.

Okay before I get lost in my mushy gushy center of love, I should get to the point of this post which is to point out one of my favorite BDSM books to read. Yep, I read them as often as I can. One of the great things about writing two genres is that when I am writing paranormal, I am reading BDSM books and when I am writing BDSM, I am reading paranormal. It’s a great way to read all the stories I love without distracting me from my current project.

I have to say that picking one is ridiculously hard and should be noted that it may or may not be my all time favorite. There are so many that I have enjoyed and many more I haven’t gotten a chance to read yet. So this ended up being a case of eeny meeny miney moe.

When I first picked up Learning to Drown by Sommer Marsden, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I ended up being hooked from the beginning and read long into the night until I finished this book. It’s been a while since I read it but I remember feeling connected to this story and characters, not to mention I have admitted many times that I tend to go for the harsher Doms.

Ember is into the whole abduction scenario. She tries and tries to coach her boyfriend Damien in the fine art of being her abductor and sexual tyrant. It’s not working. One night, while locked in his truck’s tool box, she’s towed from Damien’s property. Lucas Crow, freelance repo man and all around growly dominant, rescues her from her self-imposed prison. He even takes her home, feeds her and gets her cuffs off when it becomes evident that Damien is not coming to her rescue.

Taken with Ember and her story, Lucas gives her a choice. Stay in her unhappy relationship and play ‘games’ (basically dominating Damien by dictating his behavior) or stay with him as his ‘captive’ and learn what true surrender is. It’s like learning to drown, giving up to get where you want to be. Ember is eerily taken with this man and his quiet and sure ways. The more she discovers the more she wants to discover. Like his history, his back story, where that sexy scar in his eyebrow came from.

When Ember meets Matthew Crow, she’s not sure she can do what might be expected of her. Matthew’s everything his brother isn’t. He’s mouthy, petulant, younger and spoiled. And he informs her on the way to a repo job, that they share women–he and Lucas. And they’re going to share her–and he can’t wait to get his taste.

Ember is torn. Stay and get to experience more of the sexual talents of Lucas and Matthew Crow or leave. Does she stay and learn to drown and maybe experience the erotic levels she truly craves, or does she keep struggling and never learn the joy of submission and surrender?
