Description from the publisher:

Walls of Pain
Sophia DiMarco wants a forever kind of love. But finding the right sub isn’t easy. And so she built a fortified wall around her heart to keep her from wanting more. It worked—until Drew Snow walked through her front door and stormed her citadel with one smoldering look.

Secret Shame
Never having entertained the idea of being submissive before, Drew finds himself enchanted with the beautiful Domme and craving the searing kiss of her dominance. But powerful men like him—he’s a sought-after chef with a television show in the works—aren’t subs, and the price of his submission is secrecy.

When tragedy strikes, he must decide whether he’s strong enough to embrace his true nature and Sophia, who has become so much more than a secret pleasure.

Warnings: Femdom, BDSM

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

SERVING SOPHIA is the third book in the Awakening series.  It stands alone, though characters from previous and future books do appear.



I love reading Michelle Zurlo’s BDSM books.  She educates while entertaining.  This time I learned about male subs and female Dommes – or at least about Sophia and Drew’s relationship at it developed. 



I loved that they found a way for Drew’s romantic nature to be allowed a place within their D/s relationship.  In fact, they each brought out more from the other… while tearing down the walls that they thought they had to have in place. 



I loved that Sophia made mistakes and acknowledged them, if only to herself.  Doms/Dommes do make mistakes.  In this case, because in her heart of hearts because she did want the romance that Drew was hoping to bring into her life, even if she didn’t want to admit it yet.



I loved falling in love with all of these characters and their friends…. Especially her brother David and his friend Evan.  I hope they soon have a story of their own.



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
