Review:

I like what this does for the BDSM scene. Submission shows that even in a BDSM relationship, there is romance and affection. So many people are under the (false) impression that BDSM is about cruelty and slavery when that’s just not so. The book moved fast but not too fast. The characters were well developed, as well; I didn’t leave the book feeling as if I lacked an understanding of the characters. What’s more, I liked them and I was rooting for it to work. Submission focuses on the submissive, Noah and how he and his new Dom, Tobias, work through Noah’s trust issues to bring him to the ultimate state of slavery. It was very hot but also very emotional. Definitely a good read for anyone who likes gay erotica with an edge. This isn’t about light spanking and handcuffs, guys.
