S.E.X. Review~ Under His Domme's Control by Dakota Trace

Steven has slipped up by lying to his wife, now it's up to his Mistress to bring him back on the straight and narrow. But when he finds out the price for his deception will he still surrender?

Is it possible to read a thirty-some page novella and be scorched? Hell, yes! That’s what transpired in Dakota Trace’s new short, Under His Domme’s Control.

Steven has been a very bad boy-caught lying to his mistress and now must reap what he’s sowed.

As always the sex was sizzling as Ms. Trace took us from the greasy garage where Steven worked to the playroom where he and his mistress/wife, Hope, lived.

All too many times a D/s story is written with the man as the dominant, but Ms. Trace harnessed her inner goddess and created a strong, affectionate and loving woman-Hope- into a take-charge sexy creature whose desire was to pleasure her husband first and then herself. In my humble opinion many are fearful of writing or reading a Domme-driven tale because they believe a woman in charge can only be considered a bitch. Not the case, and Dakota Trace is not afraid to takes chances.

The D/s relationship worked for Steven and Hope, allowing him to release his control and for Hope to assert herself, drawing upon both their inclinations.

The writing was superb, flowed and gave the reader insight into the world of D/s, female style.

Kudos to Ms. Trace for writing another winner and making me turn down the air conditioner- this reader almost overheated.

S.E.X. Review~ Safeword Interrupted by Dakota Trace

A Dom who thinks he has it all… 

Deacon Willis has lusted after his friend, Bethany for years – but has kept his distance, not wanting to alienate one of the most important women in his life. Not only is she the manager of his bar, she’s also the best friend he’s ever had. But all that changes one fateful night when he realizes Bethany’s desires run just as dark as his own. Once witnessing her need to submit, he’s determined to show her, that only he can give her what she needs. He’ll be her Dom and she’ll be his cherished submissive. Hopefully it will be enough to make her happy, because he’ll never be a family man. 

A sub who’s about to lose it all… 

Bethany Adams has been in love with Deacon for years, but knows his reputation. He’s a love ‘em and leave them type, never settling on one woman long. It isn’t until she walks in on him dominating another woman that she realizes he could give her everything she needs – a firm hand and a strong man that can fulfill every one of her submissive fantasies. But what happens when her deepest fantasy becomes a reality? 

Will Deacon stick around to be a father to his child…or will he walk away, taking her heart with him?

Safeword Interrupted was a well-written and developed friends to lovers drama in only the style and fashion deliverable by Dakota Trace. Deacon and Bethany have been friends and co-workers for ages. Upon losing a bet, Bethany agrees to enter a temporary D/s relationship with Deacon. Intrigued by what she saw in his office and with the yearnings she now feels, Bethany has little choice but to allow the fantasy to play out. For Bethany though, the fantasy becomes all too real as her feelings for Deacon flourish and unbeknownst to her, the playboy Dominant has taken his role in her life very seriously and to the next level.

As always, Ms. Trace elicited a myriad of emotions from this reader as I forged ahead through the book. If truth be known, Deacon was not my favorite character and I lamented over my inclination to despise him. His arrogance and self-indulgence left me seething with a desire for Bethany to toss him aside. But, patience being a virtue and Ms. Trace being aptly talented, my heart soon opened to Deacon and his misgivings—much of which stemmed from his childhood—Deacon soon won me over as a man of his word and a dominant.

Bethany’s characterization was a strong woman who fought for what she believed to be right and in the best interest of herself, her unborn child and even Deacon.

Together the two characters waded through the trials and tribulations of beginning a D/s relationship and Bethany’s reluctance to step into the lifestyle. Dakota Trace never leaves a stone unturned in her research of a topic and her mastery of transferring emotions from character to reader is flawless.

Kudos Dakota!
