If ever there was an appropriate time to call a BDSM themed book sweet, it is this, because Emma's Education was very, very sweet, in my opinion.

How could I not think it was sweet when you have a woman who's a natural submissive (but just doesn't know it yet), who has an abusive jerk for a boyfriend who brought her to a BDSM club for the first time, and treated her like an asshole that he is. OK, that was not the sweet part, of course. No, what was sweet was that that bastard did her the biggest favor by doing so, because two men came to her rescue, and completely changed her life.

Yes, two men. Fantasy of many a woman. Two Dominants at that.

Neither of those Doms considered having a permanent sub, much less sharing one, especially Logan who is a Navy SEAL often being sent to dangerous missions. However, after saving Emma from the hands of the wannabe Dom, and after only a very short time spent with her, she made them want to help her further by training her, and helping her discover her real nature, and soon, very soon, she made want to keep her for a while longer.

See, I told you it was sweet.

What I liked most were the characters. All three were lovely, and not once did I have the urge to punch them in the face. In my eyes, that's amazing. Plus, I liked how there were POVs of all main characters, and the fact that the story didn't unnecessarily drag on.

This story is BDSM, but it's mostly D/s. No S&M, sadly or luckily, depending on how you look at it. Most of all, it's a story about love between one woman and two men who would do anything to protect her. Anything...

This was a hot little number. It has many similar elements to Nobody's Angel (injured armed forces guy saves sub from idiot Dom who becomes a stalker) but was different enough to still be enjoyable even though I JUST read Nobody's Angel. This one had an Navy Seal home on medical leave. He's bored so he's decided to visit his favorite BDSM haunt, and notices a sub not being treated well. He and the Dungeon Monitor on duty confront her Dom and kick him out. And then show the sub what should really happen in a D/s relationship.

I'm not sure how they got her to agree to half the stuff they did in such a short amount of time, lol. Thankfully they gave her some skimpy clothing while they gave her a tour of the facility. Since her ex (who she apparently didn't know very well, but was willing to let collar her) took off with her purse with her house keys, all three of them just spent the night at the club. Awww. And then the barbeque the next day at Vipers? Naked, really?

Aside from all that, it was damn hot. Getting Logan's heart invested was a tough mission, but Jace and Emma sure worked him hard on that. The insta-love was a little hard to believe, but the relationship between the three was really kind of sweet. And damn hot. Did I say that yet? Damn hot.

¡¡¡Jace y Logan!!! XD ¡Qué suertuda que es Emma! Jaja.
Veamos, en primer lugar debo decir que me gusta bastante como escribe Abby Blake, y creo que esta primera entrega de la saga Viper's Dungeon está bastante bien lograda.
Me gusta cómo ha desarrollado a los personajes, creo que la personalidad de los dominantes, Jace y Logan, tiene muy buenos puntos. Aunque a veces me dieran ganas de darle un par de cintazos a Logan. En cuanto a Emma, puede que haya parecido muy apresurado el tema de sentirse segura con los chicos, pero se compensa un poco con la idea de que está hecha para esta vida del BDSM.
Los toques de acción que le dan más movimiento a la trama me gustaron, aunque podrían haber estado tratados de forma más profunda.
Me gusta mucho que la autora haya presentado a Viper, que vendría hacer algo así como el jefazo por aquí, pero tengo ganas de saber más. También quisiera ver un poco de Adam y Derek.
Obviamente es una historia recomendable.

This story is perfect fantasy escapism, for those of us who like BDSM in our romance. There is nothing harsh about the BDSM, the characters are likable (except the one we aren't supposed to like, of course), and the romance is sigh worthy.

The pace of "meet to love" is very fast, Logan and Jace are both perfect dominants with perfectly drool worthy bodies and lots of money - all adding to the fantasy feel. As this is a "woman in peril, rescued by two hunks" set up, I simply could not resist. Tried and true, but I love it and I think Ms. Blake did a nice job with the story as well.

This was a first for me reading this author. BDSM Contemporary MFM. She did a great job with the story and characters. I will definitely be looking for the next book in the Vipers Dungeon series. For those of you wondering- Although this book shows it as the first in a series- It does have a concrete ending- no cliffhangers or totally unresolved issues that make you want to throw it across the room. (Which BTW is hard on my Nook :D )

I think I have read too many of these type of novels...the stories are all starting to run together. This started off strong. But I lost interest quickly....again, my own fault for reading to many similar novels.

The best part of this story was Logan who was a Navy SEAL and suffered from "Angst" over whether to commit to Emma or not since his life took him away from home so often.

Had a great HEA...that felt warm and fuzzy.

Overall this book was just okay. I'm usually pretty lenient when it comes to unrealistic timelines in books but this one was a little nuts.

I rounded up and gave this book 3 stars. It was better than 'just OK', and I guess I didn't NOT like it, so...3 stars.

The whole setup is rather predictable: Logan and his friend Jace rescue Emma when she's being mistreated at a BDSM club. She's nervous and afraid, but let's them get hot and heavy with her anyway...Wow just once I'd love to read a book where the heroine says "No way, I'm outta here" and then actually leaves!

You don't really get to know Jace or Logan -- they're rather cardboard. Jace is very sweet -- Logan's more alpha, but a good guy, and they both care about Emma.

My only criticism is a surprising break in the story when Logan leaves. He's deployed a mission, so he has to go, but he leaves without telling Emma -- he just disappears. And then...the story picks up six months later when he returns. It's just a weird sort of time warp, and it doesn't serve the story well at all.

Meh.. It was fine.. wasn't horrible, but also not that great.
I felt that that was a pretty short read, and it could have been a lot better if it had a little more, shal we say "meat", on it...
Logan's situation wasn't really explained, nor were Jace and Emma's jobs.
It was all centered on the sex, and barely had anything "real" about it.
I didn't feel any emotions that the characters were feeling during the reading, which tells me that the emotions in this book really weren't that high, because I almost always cry when there's a sad "breakup"...
Really, it wasn't even believeable when her ex tried to convince her of his innocence, and I kinda like it when there's doubt.

Well, anyways, this book was nothing more than FINE, which is why I'm giving it 2.5 stars.

I really enjoyed this book !! Great quick read , very clever plot , sexy characters & some wonderful nurturing bdsm scenes that will bring out any1's inner submissive .
It's easy for an author to get writing bdsm wrong & especially when trying to entice a reader (like myself) that is not " in the scene" as they say lol but Abby DID NoT get it wrong she got it TOTALLY RIGHT ! Well done ms Blake I will b reading more of ur stuff ASAP

I'm not usually into the whole BDSM thing however I've grown to enjoy it when written the way Emma's Education was written. This was a great book, I loved the characters and found myself all hot and bothered by things that usually just bothered me. I'll definitely be reading more books like this one!

Fun read. A little improbable - the main characters fall in love over a weekend. The ending was a little abrupt and almost reads as an after thought. Reasonably good development of M/F/M ménage dynamic.

This seemed a bit 'light' to me. When reading it I felt like I was just skimming over the surface rather than being pulled into the story. Not enough to pull it down to a 2 but not quite a solid 3

Estos libros son cortos y puramente románticos, hay un toque de acción, pero el romance es lo principal.
Me gustó como empezó la historia, como Logan y Jace le muestran el BDSM como es para ellos y no la violencia que ejercía su ex.
Emma me gustó, no me encantó pero fue un buen personaje. Logan era un poco frustrante, pero al final entró en razón. Jace, era el razonable y más tierno de ambos.
Una historia para seguir con mi mood de románticos/eróticos pero que me enganchó para seguir con el resto de la serie.

I really enjoyed this book. This is the first book of the Viper's Dungeon and I can't wait to read the rest of this series.

Emma went to Viper's Dungeon with her boyfriend and is not too sure about it. He had told her what to expect but something isn't adding up. Logan is on leave from the Navy SEALs when he notices Emma at the club. After reconnecting with Jace, they decide to help her discover herself and show her a different aspect of BDSM. They have intense chemistry in the bedroom and get along outside of it as well. Her boyfriend who has become her ex-boyfriend doesn't want to let her go. Will Logan and Jace be able to help her with this problem?

Highly recommend this author!

Hot read!!

Logan and Jace were great, Alpha men who had to save Emma. But she gave just as good back! She might not have known what she wanted, but with the two men, she could explore it!

Well Emma's Education turned into my education :)
Still curious about the whole BDSM thing - but nothing in this book told me anything I didn't already know :(

That's ok though - it was still a fun story to read :)

Logan is a Navy SEAL and has a very dangerous job. When he gets hurt on a mission and is forced to take 3 weeks off, he visits his home town.
Going into Viper's Dungun where he use to work as a DOM ... I can't remember the words they used, but he's pretty much a security for the BDSM Scenes - this is a high class Club, but still a lot of people are new to the BDSM scenes, because people tend to get worked up, that they don’t' realize that someone might get hurt without realizing it.. then there is always the first class idiots like Greg who brings in a new sub wearing a dog collar and a leash. Idiot - He has it so that when he tugs on the leash, it will choke her.

Spotting his friend Jace across the room who is actually watching the scene play out in front of them, he strolls over to let Jace know about the jerk who doesn't take care of his sub -

Emma is sitting on her knees watching the scene take place. those whips looking mighty painful. She cringes at ever sound. Wondering what that poor sub did to deserve this kind of punishment.. she noticed the two Dom's approaching her boyfriend.. soon to be ex-boyfriend because she couldn't believe he would drag her to this kind of club and strip her down to her underwear without telling her what it was about. But she knew that disobeying a Dom in the club would result to punishment, and those cracks to that whip really sounded painful!

She felt a slight tug on her collar, gagging her a little. with her hands bound behind her back she almost lost her balance, another tug had her coughing and gasping for air, but then she felt strong arms lifting her and carrying her off.

All she could think of was "what did I do wrong?" She didn't want to be punished! Over and over and over she begged this Dom for forgiveness. Trying to explain she didn't know the rules and she didn't know what she did wrong..

As this Dom wrapped her in a blanket and held onto to her while she cried, telling her everything would be alright, she finally fell asleep.

Jace watched as Logan held onto the new sub. When they realized just how little she knew about the club, they decided to show her around. That's where she learned how to listen to the groans and moans coming from the hallway... they weren't in pain at all...

Hummmmm :) like I said, Cute and fun story :)

Very good menage story. This is the first book I've read by this author and it's made me want to try more, probably with the next book in the series. :D

As the story begins Emma is at Viper's Dungeon with her boyfriend, Greg. Greg is a real jerk and hurting her so two Doms (Jace and Logan) come to her rescue. Emma fins herself unexpectedly attracted to Jace and Logan after the rescue her from Greg. They offer to show her more of the BDSM lifestyle in a manner that makes her feel safe so she accepts to satisfy her curiosity and to spend more time with them.

Jace is an Engineer by day but works a night or 2 a week as a Dungeon monitor at Viper's. When he helps Logan rescue Emma, Jace falls for her pretty quickly. He'd been thinking about finding a permanent Sub/girlfriend but hadn't found the right woman. With Emma her finds everything he wants and more. Strangely he doesn't usually share a Sub with other Dom's but Logan being included from the beginning feels natural to Jace so he's willing to accept it.

Logan used to work at Viper's years ago (and was friends with Jace back then) but has been a Navy SEAL for years. He's on leave for 3 weeks and never intended to get involved but when he meets Emma he finds it hard to pull away. Logan has some issues he's trying to get past and tends to try to pull away but he falls for Emma very quickly regardless (even though he feels he shouldn't).

During the time the three spend together, Jace and Logan introduce Emma to BDSM and she finds she likes it. The news comes out that Greg is a stalker and Jace and Logan decide to protect her from Greg. This adds some drama to the story line to say the least...

Towards the end of the book Logan does suffer from a serious bout of relationship dumbassedness but manages to recover before all is lost. Fortunately Jace doesn't suffer from this horrible sickness and Emma at least has him to lean on while Logan recovered. ;D

Bouts of relationship dumbassedness aside this was a great story. I really enjoyed it and will be reading the next in the series. I'd recommend it. ;)

When Emma goes with her boyfriend to a BDSM club she never dreamed that he would put a dog collar on her and treat her as he does, but most of all she never dreamed that two Doms would come to her rescue. Jace and Logan are furious at Emma’s treatment by her so-called Dom and come to her aid. Will Emma take them up on their offer or will she run away scared?

Emma is a strong woman, yet in the privacy of her own bedroom she longs for more. Logan and Jace are more than ready to help teach her how to get what she craves. I don’t know who I loved more: Jace or Logan. Just like Emma I found myself falling for these two wonderful men. Jace is a patient man who loves with all his heart and Logan is a strong and honorable man who has always kept everyone at arms length. Yet he finds himself fighting the feelings he has for both Jace and Emma.

The love that begins to form between the three was a wonderful thing to read. I enjoyed seeing each of the men interact with Emma and show her their love. Seeing the relationship between the men was a nice touch. I enjoyed watching Emma blossom into the woman she has always hidden. The love that the two men have for her shows in everything that they do.

There are books that are good and then there are books that grab your attention and never let go -- this one happens to be one of those. With characters full of depth and emotion this book had me glued to my seat and turning the pages to see what would happen next between the three. I loved seeing the easy friendship the men had and the trust that Emma gives them made for a great read. This author has found a new fan and I will be sure to look for more books. I can’t wait to see who gets to play next at the Viper’s Dungeon.

I really enjoyed this hot, fast-paced read! Logan is a Navy Seal who is on three weeks of forced medical leave. When he visits Viper's Den, the BDSM club he used to be a dungeon monitor at, he sees a sub wearing a dog collar with a tether, and when the Dom she's with starts yanking it he finds his friend Jace, who is a current DM and they step in to stop the abuse. Emma has found herself in only bra, panties and a dog collar, kneeling at the feet of her boyfriend, petrified at what she's seeing. This is her first exposure to anything like this and she's pissed Greg didn't give her more info before they came here. After Logan and Jace confront Greg, he is ejected from the club and they take Emma to a private room to calm her down. They discover she is a natural sub, and since she is surprisingly attracted to them, she allows them to show her some of what it means to be in a D/s scene. Things happen pretty quickly (it's a short story) and they all become pretty attached to each other very fast, but Logan has some issues to deal with from the last mission he was on. And Emma has to deal with a vindictive ex-boyfriend. The dynamics between the threesome was interesting, I loved Jace, and the sex was hot!!! I would have liked the story to be longer to learn more about the characters. There were hints about problems at Emma's job, and I really would have liked to learn more about Jace's background. Regardless, I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

In all honesty, I would give this book a 3.7 if I could. What do I like? I like the way it is written, I like the way the character has substance and there is, somewhat, an awareness of reality and intelligence. The problem is, I do not like it because of the only somewhat element. I would prefer there to be a deeper understanding and description of the mental and physical elements. What impressed me about the book was that it is not a stupid book. It is not a book that leaves aside any perception of consensual, sane play. It at least has a nodding acquaintance with the fact that trust needs building.

It is a book worth reading, possibly even a second time.

I really enjoyed this book. I appreciated the fact that they recognized that she was new, and didn't expect as much from her as they would an experienced sub. Some books just throw the sub in the deep end, and expect her to be perfect or she gets her ass reddened. Which is a little unrealistic, in my opinion.I would have liked to read more, honestly. The only thing that irritated me was the fact that Logan was so standoffish sometimes. He makes up for it, but his attitude bugged me.I will happily recommend this one.
