Noah’s needs stay rather vague in this book he just knows that apart from his job as a policeman, he longs for someone to take control and shoulder the responsibility. The victim of abuse from a former Dom, Noah does have hard lines that cannot be crossed or pushed he just doesn’t understand where the edges of his submission fall in relation to those hard limits. A sub who doesn’t initially believe in safe words, he’s a man adrift in the world of BDSM, not knowing his limits or what he needs. Noah is a sub who has been looking for the right Dom for quite some time. It is a standalone, so if you wanted to just read this first book, you could without reading anymore, but why, when there is so much more to the story?! This book ends in a HFN scenario, but it can be seen as being somewhat abrupt. This is the beginning: the authors are setting the scene, introducing the characters and giving us a taste of where the story will lead.

Review: Deviations: Submission is book one in a six book series, if you count the small novella thrown in after book two. These two skilled authors create a world that’s hard to resist and a book that’s even harder to pause.

They learn to love, but can they stay together while they explore each other’s secrets in a world where all is laid bare and emotions run high?įrom authors Chris Owen, writer of the popular Bareback, and Jodi Payne, writer of String of Pearls, comes a romance on the deviant side, where love is all tied up with the need to submit, the need to dominate, and the need to share a life of exploration and care. Still, Tobias can’t resist Noah’s charms, and the two of them set about making a scene for themselves, one that works for them and their unique set of problems.

Tobias may allow himself to dominate, but he has trouble letting himself love. Through a series of encounters in the world of bondage and discipline, Noah reveals why he has trouble trusting, why he needs such a firm, steady hand. He wants to sub badly but has yet to find someone he believes can take him where he needs to go. Overall, I enjoyed this story and would recommend it first in book form, then in audio.īlurb: Tobias is a skilled Dom, able to bring even the most hesitant submissive around. At a Glance: When I read the book, my imagination did a better job of breaking Tobias down and making him more human.
