Katie Ashley whips up an emotional, sexy, erotic BDSM romance in her latest release, Subordination. If you ever have read a BDSM book, then readers are very familiar with a master and sub relationship but in the case of this book, Ms. Ashley lures her readers to the world of a Domme and her relationship with a sub.

The leading Mistress Juliette is not your standard Domme because this lifestyle was not by preference but out necessity. In the case of Mistress Juliette, better known as her real name Sophie Marie Jameson, she chose to be a Domme in order to help pay for the expenses of her father and brother. Being a Domme was a job and she never met anyone whom she wanted to control outside her job at a sex club until she met, William Foster.
William was your walking sex on the stick. He exudes total alpha male but in reality he was a submissive through and through. He was searching for that Mistress in whom he could find that special connection and he found that in Sophie. When Sophie finally submitted to her lust and sexual attraction to William, a connection was formed. It was indescribable. It was more than a mistress exerting her power and control on a sub. It was an electrical charge of possibly a life altering of two hearts.
As Sophie finally caved into giving her connection to William a try, she was in for a rude awakening when she discovered that her sub was her new boss. Will Sophie be able to continue her Mistress/Sub relationship with William after discovering he is her boss? What would happen if anyone were to discover Sophie and Williams' secret proclivities?
If you are a fan of bondage, flogging and the whole Mistress/sub relationship, then Subordination might be the book for you. While this book still had the hot erotic aspect of a romantic relationship, the author was still able to incorporate and weave strong emotional undertones of matters of the heart and family dynamics. Although this relationship might not be your conventional love story of hearts and flowers, William was still your sweet romantic hero that just happens to love submitting control to his Mistress. The story and writing flowed at an excellent pace giving readers a full balance of erotica, BDSM, romance and raw emotions. So if you are looking for a fresh, sexy, and emotional BDSM, then I would recommend Subordination by Katie Ashley.
