Erotic Literature. Fiction. Romance. LGBTQIA+ (Fiction.) HTML:

A year ago, my best friend Hal died at the hands of an incompetent "dom." So I started the Subs Club, a private blog where submissives can review doms and call out the douche bags.

A perfect example of the kind of arrogant asshole I mean? The Disciplinarian. He has a pornstache. He loves meat, stoicism, America, and real discipline. And he thinks subs exist to serve him.

But...not everything about him is awful. His Davy Crockett act just seems like a cover for his fear of intimacy, and part of me wants to show him it's okay to get close to people. And, I mean, sue me, but I have fantasized about real discipline. Not role-play, but like, Dave, you're gonna be thirty in four years and you still work in a mall; get your ass in gear or I'll spank it.

Not that I'd ever trust anyone with that kind of control.

I'm gonna redefine "battle of wills" for the Disciplinarian. Or I'm gonna bone him. It's hard to say.

â?? Dave… (more)

CA: accidental death during breath play (on-page in snippets and references throughout), medical kink references, knife play references

When David's friend dies accidentally during a BDSM scene, David and the rest of his friend group are left wondering how to deal with their changed feelings toward their lifestyle--both as members of the community and as individuals still seeking fitting partners. The story is told from David's point of view, and we follow him as he embarks on a new relationship and tries to find a way to make subs safer and give them a stronger voice in his local community. This was a great exploration of BDSM as well as a wonderful romance story and depiction of male friendship. ( )

I loved it! I loved David's voice and his wit (he made me laugh so much), and I loved David's uniqueness.
I wasn't really into some of the scenes, but they did help me understand David better.
It also made me cry my eyes out at not one but two points, which is always appreciated :) ( )

I started this but couldn't get into it. The opening scenes in the club were a turn-off, even though I usually enjoy BDSM books.

This was a fun book with serious undertones. Along with the playful sexy fun there was an underlying caution. David starts the subs club to help protect subs from immoral Doms. One of their friends died while in a BDSM scene and now David is out to expose all the arrogant Doms who are forcing their will on Subs and turning something consensual and fun into a dangerous situation.

The supporting characters all had some depth and while not deeply developed you could get a sense of each one as well as their kink. Overall I think this was a well done read with a good balance of sexy, safety and erotic. ( )

This book is really important in my eyes, because it focusses on important issues (like consent and how safe you should be) without becoming lecturing. And there are so many different kinks at least mentioned. Finally.

Sadly I wasn't really invested in the (romantic) relationship between the two Davids. MC David doesn't have the highest opinion of himself and that may be why I didn't like him much (could change with the later books though!). Love interest David was an interesting character, but only as long as I could forget the moustache (personal preference, brr). Just kidding, he is interesting either way and it fits him. The D/s relationship was very interesting and kinda intense. There is definitely some sort of danger vibe behind the story.

I'm excited to read about MC David's friends' stories. ( )
