The Collar by Tara Sue Me is the fifth book of the Submissive Series. I found this book to be one sensual, sexy, emotional, and touching read that focuses on the couple Dena and Jeff and their second chance at love. Though this book had every aspect of an erotic BDSM, the author did an amazing job intertwining the past and present with it's sensual, emotional and erotic scenes. Ms. Tara Sue Me eloquently allowed readers to gain a better perspective of the history between the two characters hence giving us a better understanding where these two stand on what truly happened in the past between them.

The connection between Jeff and Dena took on more an emotional deeper undertone in this book. Though chemistry was tangible and palpable between them, the author allowed readers to see what issues that they had to work out with in and outside the bedroom. Their past history played a crucial role on where they stand as a couple. What I loved about this book was that the author showcased major growth between the characters. She allowed readers to see that the LOVE between them never died but only needed the nurture and attention from both of them. So can Dena and Jeff ever recover from the hurt that they caused each other in the past to move on?
The Collar was a well written book that had emotions and sensuality pouring off the pages. I loved how the flashbacks played an integral role in this book and was inserted at right moments in the story-line. The characters Dena and Jeff were like any normal couple trying to work out their issues but the only difference is how they like to explore their sexuality and control through BDSM. The only issue I had with this book was the unraveling of who was threatening Dena. I found that scene in the book rushed and didn't understand why the man wanted to threaten Dena. But other than that, I really enjoyed The Collar and I look forward to what's in store for Abby and Nathanial in the next installment.
