While this may not be a deal breaker for some, it felt a bit incestuous to me and I cringed when I read it. It could have been a good book without this choice of verbage. I will not read the rest of the series. Well, I liked this story. I would have given 5 stars, but I could not connect with Mika as I hate bald men.
The herione was sassy and likable. A series that I will continue with. The woman took long enough to realize what she was truly and I swear she cried at the drop of a hat.

The place was swimming in tears! I admit I took to skimming some of the more convoluted passages where once again she was fighting against being submissive. One would think that after four years of studying it and being schooled in it she would have a pretty good idea of what being a sub was. But no, more tears and denials. Excellent series except that Bound to Surrender not the story of Drake and Trevor as the preview shows despite that loved the series and hope there are more and I also hope I do get the chance to find out about Drake and Trevor.

Would you like us to take another look at this review? No, cancel Yes, report it Thanks! I came across it by accident, and what made me decide to read it was that I needed a BDSM-themed book which had a title beginning with the letter E. Given my reasons for reading it weren't much, neither were my expectations.
Then I started reading, and very soon I realized this would be a book I would enjoy. Thankfully, I was right! The book is entirely written from the heroine's perspective. There had been several times when that sentence meant the book w This book was a really pleasant surprise. There had been several times when that sentence meant the book went on my nerves, but this was not one of those times.
Luckily for me, I really liked Julianna. She was sweet, and fun. I don't think I've ever read about a submissive that stubborn and hotheaded. She really was something else, and I loved it. Granted, she did have a few pity parties, but let's face it - who hasn't? And to be fair, she had some valid reasons. Julianna was a submissive without a Dom, something that haunted her because she wanted nothing more but to find a good Dom who would claim her as his own.
She had a past bad experience, which did not manage to turn her away from the lifestyle, and now she was under the protection of a Dom from a BDSM club she was a member of who was her mentor. I really liked Drake and his sub Trevor. There was just something about them, and their entire interaction that made me feel very comfortable reading about their world, and very much enjoying it. It was funny that every time someone called Drake Daddy , I would immediately remember Nora saying: As I was saying, Julianna longed for a Dom, so when one piqued her interest, Drake arranged for them to meet, but that ended badly.
However, something good came out of it - Julianna finally met the man that haunted her dreams. The dreams were a part I found a bit odd, but I loved everything else, so I accepted this, too.
Julianna and Mika were meant to be, but them getting to the point where they could finally accept that wasn't exactly easy -- Mika was still grieving, and Julianna was stubborn, and had decided to give up submission -- but I loved every step in their journey. It was emotional, it was hot, it was even fun. Julianna is one of my favorite subs I've read about! I believe the book said the author was quite experienced in the lifestyle, and that showed. Hopefully, I'll find the time to read the other books in the series soon, and if I'm very lucky find more books like this.
I'm waffling between 3. I enjoyed this book.
I just bought it basically because of the cover. I like this author's writing style better than Ms. It's more cerebral but still comparable to the level of smut contained in CS's books. The protagonist is a bit whin I'm waffling between 3. The protagonist is a bit whiny for me. Good secondary characters that you actually come to care about i. All of which I'm hoping get their own books. Julianna's is a little harder to swallow but when coupled with her desperation I guess it isn't.
Whatevs, I still read the next one. Fairly good dialogue; can be cheesy at times but I still found overall I enjoyed the book. Sep 06, Ruthie Taylor rated it really liked it. This is Emerald aka Julianna's story, although through her we are introduced to the leading players at the Club. Once we get to meet the biggest player, the race is on to get things straightened out, and on course. I felt greatly aggrieved for Julianna, but she seemingly chooses to forgive and enjoy ho "I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.
I felt greatly aggrieved for Julianna, but she seemingly chooses to forgive and enjoy how things work out. The steamy scenes may be best read away from a public place - unless that is one of your kinks! After reading many, many such books, I think this one does a good job of neither being too trite, too condescending or too serious. I have some issues with the writing style, but the story was strong enough to keep me reading.
I have the next book lined up on my Kindle. Feb 19, Karen rated it did not like it. Feb 20, EroticaAfterDark Lilith marked it as to-read. Jul 28, Erica rated it did not like it. There are ghosts and the weirdest BDSM everything. I barely could finish. Dec 27, Erzabet Bishop rated it it was amazing Shelves: What if you had trained for years to be a submissive, only to find the isolation impossible to bear?
Julianna dreams every night of her dream Dom and wakes to the loneliness of her reality. Becoming a sub was not what she expected. After being hurt by one in experienced Dom, she falls for another, only to be subjected to cruel torture before her protector can come and rescue her. With him, though, is the Dom she has been dreaming of for years. Sir Drool, in the flesh. This story captured my attention on the first page. Julianna has a voice that resonates with any strong willed woman trying to find her place.
In her world, that is being a submissive. Open mouth, insert foot is a common affliction of mine and I had to laugh out loud every time Julianna found herself in just that predicament. Lonely and trying so hard to be the perfect submissive, Julianna finds herself in the middle of a sadist bent on destroying her, but is saved by her protector and the man she has been dreaming of for years. The story spins into a powerful passion play of love, forgiveness and tenderness that had me turning the pages late into the night to find out what happened next.
Drake, Trevor, Julianna and Mika are all characters with breathable characteristics and I felt like they were my friends by the time the book was over. The drama was unpredictable, the tensions palpable, chemistry undeniable and the little humorous points interjected here and there make the story absolutely perfect. We haven't even gotten to the sex scenes yet. Julianna and Mika were the perfect match as well as we journey with them into the hesitation of a new relationship and beyond.
The sex is smoking hot and you are going to need some ice water. I loved every page of this book, even the parts that had me cringing in horror. There is a scene where Julianna is attacked by the sadist she mistakenly thinks is a potential Dom. It can be a trigger if you have been a victim of sexual violence. It is powerful but so is the aftermath, and reading through it is worthwhile, even if it leaves you shuddering and crying like it did me. Flashbacks are a bitch, but Jenna Jacobs has done a superb job on this first book in the series and I am anxious to read the next one.
This book is 5 stars all the way! If you want a book that will have you sweating bullets and turning the pages, you have to give Embracing My Submission a read. You won't regret it. Sep 03, Shelby rated it really liked it Shelves: She's actively hunting and hoping for a Dom to come in and swoop her off her feet: Personally, I liked Emerald from the 1st page and wanted to read her story. She's sassy, independent, kind, and she was easy to identify with.
Her journey of submission was a struggle, but at the same time it was liberating. The secondary characters were also like-able, and I'd like to read more about them Drake and Trevor, Sammie, Savannah and Nick and Dylan, etc. There are paranormal aspects that I didn't really like, but they added to the story - so I can't say they were unnecessary.
The other aspect that bothered me, well, I don't want to spoil the story, but I have an issue with a major plot line. Once you read this, I'll be glad to discuss by message This story was FULL of angst, emotional turmoil, glimpses of romance, and infuriating evil. Feb 21, Emma rated it did not like it Shelves: Do you have Spanish speaking family? This reads like novelas. Girl talks to ghosts? Guy talks to ghosts So much telling and not showing.

So after this girl gets assaulted by a stranger so seriously that she needs stitches, she goes home with and allows a stranger to spend the night in her bed. Super awkward monologue where dude talks to his dead ghost wife lady about sending him his new lover. Lots of super awkward monologues. Dude gets shot and the main character tells him to die and go hang out with his dead ghost wife lady. That's pretty much where I checked out. Jun 24, Zoey Derrick rated it it was amazing Shelves: I am soooo sorry that I let this book sit on my kindle for over a year before I was finally able to read it.
Jenna Jacob is an amazing writer, pulling you in and sucking you down until you're consumed with the desire to keep reading. Then your emotions are high and you're eager for the bliss of satisfaction and surrender. Reading Emerald's story brought smiles, laughter, love, tears of joy, frustration, and sadness. The story will strangle you and then blissfully release you.
Highly recommend this I am soooo sorry that I let this book sit on my kindle for over a year before I was finally able to read it. Highly recommend this book and I can't wait to dive into book 2! Jan 21, Sarah rated it liked it. I liked this book by the female MC annoyed me on so many occasions.
Her indecisiveness really got on my nerves. I mean for somebody who had been in the lifestyle that long you'd think she'd know a good thing when she saw it. Jan 29, Goth Gone Grey rated it it was ok Shelves: Overall, we read books like this for loads of hot, kinky sex. Sex wise, this book is smoking hot. Context of the sex? Giant, throbbing WTF filled with cream and boiling seed.
Insanely aroused shortly after true medical emergencies? Back door play within hours of being cut by rusty razor blades requiring stitches? That gives an entirely 50 shades of The plot, oh the plot She dreams of The Next One and a woman guiding her to him.
While she's being abused by someone else. They fall into mad, passionate lust, followed by collaring, the pr0n equivalent of a wedding. Please don't get me started on the fantasy dungeon complete with state of the art security system, because really?

Highly recommend this book and I can't wait to dive into book 2! Were they compelling me to finally embrace my submission? I won't say who Mika is as it's apart of the excitement for me when he rescues her. There was just something about them, and their entire interaction that made me feel very comfortable reading about their world, and very much enjoying it. Back door play within hours of being cut by rusty razor blades requiring stitches? If you can't stand the heat, the content and language within this book, put down the book and walk away slowly.
