En este libro la historia entre Jacob y Leila va avanzando y sobre todo dentro del plano sexual y de la sumisión. Y me ha gustado mucho como lleva la autora estas escenas, me ha sorprendido gratamente la verdad.

Frustrating

Again make the series one book it would be so much better. Thankfully I have all of the books and will finish them but it’s frustrating to have to keep changing books when I should be changing chapters.

These would be better if they were all in one book. I feel like each of these is a chapter. Having to start a new "book" at the end of each chapter is slightly annoying.

This book starts off right where the last one ended. I love how she tries to get up and use the restroom because she is so afraid of him seeing what she looks like when she wakes up. I like how he does not let her and he takes her while she is protesting because she has not showered and her ex would not touch her anywhere unless she showered, making her feel like she is dirty when Jacob wants to do these things. I love when he takes control of the situation saying "Who is in charge, Lelia?" but once again when they start getting done with the Dom/sub part and they are just laying there enjoying the time he gets scared again and hurries and gets up and stops that part from happening. The whole part with the photographers could have been left out if you ask me, who is that stupid to go out into the hall dress in only a shirt and underwear? She freaks out and I don't know what stops him from wanting to send her back home. I do like reading about her confronting Rachel again and calling her out for setting her up but Jacob to the rescue and he gets all of the pictures so none can be published which makes Lelia so happy and love him even more. The next part of the book is all about him taking her to his home in Venice and showing her his form of a "Dungeon" , her looking around both scared and turned on. They talk about their relationship, things they both want, and what he expects from her as his sub. One of the sexiest parts is when he disciplined her by spanking her, the whole scene in this room is hot and the walls they break down in this room brings them so close.

Part 3 of this series.

Warning: if you haven't read the prevous two parts then I would recommend it for the full effect.

So far my favorite. This part takes off the morning after part 2 ended. You know its gonna be good when the day starts of with a bout of morning sex and a potential scandle. We run into Rachel again and yes she is still a B**ch but she does make the scene intresting. So after Rachel tries to scandlize Leila, Leila and Jacob go to one of his houses in Italy.
Oh and did I forget to mention he has a hidden playroom in said house. The two do make it there and it is the most Dom/sub BDSM thing they have done so far. She gets a little punishment alot aroused and bam an orgasmic time. Part 3 ends with a little after sex bed conversation, and Leila realizing she is falling in love with Jacob.

I keep saying this but I liked this part best. In my opinon this is better than the previous two. Plus we got more of Leila stubborness and Jacob is growing on me.

"The Billionaire's Passion" by Ava Claire is the third part in the " His Submissive" Series and it starts with Leila waking up with Jacob in her bed. She can't believe that she passed the night with the handsome billionaire and that someone like him does want her.
In this part, Leila can't still believe that her life completely changed, but also the fact being attached to Jacob doesn't come without its risks. She needs to decide if their attraction is worth it when tested outside the bedroom and if she's really ready to submit to Jacob's dark desires.
As well, we see more of Jacob. A new side of him...a sweeter side...a part of him that he doesn't let everyone to see.

Like the first two, I enjoyed very much reading this...it's another amazing hot sexy installment.

Well now we're talking. This erotica come love story is getting better & better. Jacob is such a complex man, but we're starting to see that he's fallen for Leila, big time, just wonder how long before he admits it.

This Rachel client is truly a bitch & seems to be making it her lifes work to make Leila feel inadequate. Loving the BDSM direction, making it more interesting. Loving the story line, definitely not puting the brakes on, this story is moving fast.

Bring on boo 4.

To say that every time that read the next to the next that this story and relationship between Leila and Jacob becomes hotter than the last would be cliche but its better than ever. Ava Claire's writing takes this story to another level in this book when Leila and Jacobs situation is tested by the jealuos Rachel and it leads Leila to fight feisty against this obstacle. But here in the meantime the one thing that she wanted be guarded from Jacob was her heart and it becomes impossible.

I purchased the entire series and read it as one book (to read them one by one would have seriously annoyed me). I thoroughly enjoyed the series especially the fact that the BDSM was low-key and there was a story and other characters to it (a lot of the books lately are just soft-core porn). Thank you very much for a very enjoyable book that I couldn't put down until I finished the last page, Ava. You did yourself proud. xxx

Well, at least in book 3 they had some interactions, but she was throwing around the "L" word by the end of the book. I like to have a bit of realism in these books between the boss and the assistant. Still not feeling Jacob and Leila - and with the addition of Rachel even more - I am not feeling warm and fuzzy going into book 4.

I've started this and now I have to finish but I am still not really enjoying this story. Everything is rushed and I don't feel any great chemistry between Jacob and Leila. They fell in love with days and he thinks she is different...but what makes her so different??? There is no depth. I think the best part of the story is all the trouble with Rachel.

The third book in the His Submissive Series, Ava Claire provides more insight to the personality of Jacob Whitmore. The read remains light and brief. The first bdsm event in the secret and hidden playroom, happens too quickly, with miniscule description.

At this point I'm reading because I need to know, this has so much potential. It's right there, it just feels like the outline of the story. Main points. Missed moments or lack of detail? I'm not sure!

It's moments like these I wish I didn't insist on finishing what I start because this series is as dull as dishwater. :/ It's a quick read though so at least I can statisfy my OCD self quickly.

This series gets better and better!!

The characters are starting to unfold now and aren't as one dimensional as in the start of the series, we are seeing more sides to them.

Roll on book 4!!
