Sindra van Yssel

Submission Island-where submissive women can go to satisfy their deepest kinks. But Natalie's there under false pretenses. She's a botanist looking for a rare orchid that blooms only at night, and only on Submission Island. She just hopes she can escape the sexy Doms who run the island long enough to find out the orchid's secrets, and that means pretending to be more submissive than she thinks she is.

Carter doesn't know much about orchids, but he knows a girl with a secret when he sees one, and he's determined to discover Natalie's. To do that, he has to awaken her sexual desires and satisfy her submissive longings-nothing wrong with mixing business with pleasure. He works to earn her trust even as he excites her senses and pushes her to do things she never thought she'd do-not even for science, or love.

This was a fun book. I really enjoyed that Natalie wasn't full of angst over her secret and instead started having fun and enjoying Carter's attempts to get her to confess. The chemistry between them is hot and yet even with the dominance and submission, the story manages to feel sweet. I really enjoyed the storyline, and the details of the orchid were a fun addition, but if you're looking for a more intense BDSM book, this isn't it. There are some little scenes with other characters that have a bit more edge, but not really between Natalie and Carter. To me this was a good light peek into dominance and submission with a really solid story.

On Location is the second book in the Submission Island series by Sindra van Yssel. While this book is part of a series, it can be read and enjoyed as a standalone novel. I chose this book because I like the author and I have yet to find a book by her that I did not enjoy.

Kyle has lived on the Island for a while rarely leaving it. He is part owner if the Island, which is nicknamed Submission Island because he is a Dom and so, are the three other part owners. They all play on the Island. Kyle is sexual sadist. He is also a hot and sexy man that was in the military.

Teresa is part of the advance crew that photographs the Island and helps set up shots that could work for certain scenes. She is very curious as to BDSM and what sex with a Dom is like. She comes across as a nice balance of naive and experienced. I also like that she was very honest.

The chemistry between Teresa and Kyle is blistering hot. The sex scenes were hot and spicy. Kyle and Teresa is a great match in and out of the bedroom. They seemed to click in a way that neither expected.

The only thing that would have made this story better would be if it was longer and got more in depth with why Teresa submits to Kyle in the first place. What drives her to learn more about Kyle and his kinks? Overall, this was a wonderful trip to Submission Island. One I hope to repeat in the near future.… (mehr)
