Dom/sub Reviewed by a Man


I was intrigued when I received an email from BD Dark saying that Dom/sub has received another favorable review ... and this one ... by a man. Hmmm, I wondered ... would he be bored senseless by the heavy romantic element of Submissive? And would he be as critical of Dominant as my devout readers have been?

The answer to both questions was "No."

Here's what Chris Gerrib of TCM Reviews had to say:

"Dom / Sub is a pair of novellas, just coincidentally starring a male Dom and a female Sub. Like peanut butter and chocolate, the two novellas complement each other quite nicely.

Dom, the lead-off story, is written by B. D. Dark, an alternate pen name for Bonnie Dee. The story is simple enough- guy wants to be a Dom, finds girl who wants to be a Sub, and much hot sex ensues. The initial hook-up is a bit too convenient, but then that’s not the point of this story. Unlike a lot of erotic fiction, there’s actually a plot here, and some character growth. Steve, the titular Dom, needs figure out how to handle a Sub. Especially problematic is that she’s up for quite literally anything. Watching these two figure out their relationship was quite entertaining.

The follow-up story, Sub, was written by Roxy Harte, and is as much a romance as an erotic story. Julia, a long time Sub, is master-less since Jasper, her first and only, died. She’s not handling it very well, and is barely functional. Then she meets Everett Hawthorn, a professional dominant who runs around calling himself Lord Draco. The pair have a stormy meeting, and an even stormier first date. However, from the reader’s point of view, it’s all good fun, and well executed.

If you’re interested in some spicy bondage-type erotica, I strongly recommend buying Dom / Sub today."


Well. I think that's some fine advice! Buy Dom/sub today!!
