by Tara Sue Me

Overview

New York Times bestselling author Tara Sue Me is back with a scorching new romance—tenth in the Submissive series.

Lynne has not wanted for anything since she began working as Nathaniel and Abby's nanny—until the night they invite her to a group BDSM meeting. The abrupt breakup she had with her last Dom made her turn her back on the lifestyle, but now she’s ready to dive back in. When she starts chatting on online BDSM message boards, she’s shocked to discover Simon, her former Dom, is a frequent poster—and even more shocked at herself when she creates a secret identity and strikes up a conversation.
 
After messaging with a mysterious submissive online, Simon forms an immediate connection.  Lynne and Simon's D/s relationship grows in intensity, but can their relationship survive after the truth is exposed, and Lynne's identity is laid bare?

Editorial Reviews

Me’s 10th Submissive erotic novel (after The Exposure) is a sensual, no-holds-barred look at BDSM. Sadistic dominant Simon Neal has always loved beautiful submissive Lynne Ryder, but he pushed her away, believing she was too good for him. To make her leave, he suggested she wasn’t a true submissive and broke her heart. Years later, she’s ready to show Simon that they belong together. Lynne pretends to be someone else online, seducing Simon while allowing herself to fall in love with him again. When Simon realizes that Lynne has kept her true identity secret, he’s furious, but he can’t resist the opportunity to fix his past mistakes. Me expertly draws readers into her seductive world, where pain is pleasure and love never ends. The novel is erotic, heartbreaking, and vividly real. (Aug.)

From the Publisher

09/01/2017
This addition to the expansive "Submissive" series (e.g., The Exposure; The Claiming) centers on Lynne, Simon Neal's submissive ex whom he's still not over. It is soon revealed that Simon broke up with Lynne using a flimsy excuse, saying he didn't think she was submissive enough; in reality, he didn't think her inexperience could match his own sadist tendencies, so he ran. When tentative Lynne decides to tiptoe back into the lifestyle through a kink website, she hardly expects to connect with Simon, under the guise of confident yet mysterious submissive "Faye." Meanwhile, Simon and Lynne reunite in "real life," leaving Simon to wonder why he ever abandoned a woman who might be his missing puzzle piece. But can lightning strike twice—and should it? Though predictable at times, and with potentially questionable ethical behavior (Lynne actively seeks out Simon while adopting a fake identity, and there is a murky incident of unprotected sex), this novel will appeal to readers looking for a tale of lovers reuniting with a cautious simmer that still brings in plenty of kink. Strong writing and abundant BDSM ribaldry keep the plot deliciously decadent, even when Simon and Lynne are doing nothing more salacious than assembling a jigsaw puzzle. VERDICT Fans of the series and newbies alike will enjoy this slow-burn story of kinksters rediscovering their love. Ashleigh Williams is Editorial Assistant, School Library Journal
