The D'Amato Brothers #2
To Love and Obey
Nicholas D’Amato is one of the best and hardest professors at NYU, always encouraging his students to do their best. He’s also very popular with some of his female students, rarely turning down an offer for a blow job. But when his professional life gets blurred with his personal one by a new grad student, Nicholas must get to the root of the problem – and become her personal instructor.
Zerrin Campbell is time-poor. As a grad student at New York University’s famed English program, she doesn’t have time for a boyfriend or even a one-night stand, much to the chagrin of her girls. It’s not that she didn’t want to date; she didn’t know what guy would be able to handle what she wanted to explore – a submissive in training. However, a chance encounter with Nick one night opens the consensual exploration that benefits both of them.
To Love and Obey is the second story in the D’Amato Brothers series. It is a sensual/erotic book that deals with the complicated nature of a D/s relationship, BDSM, and overcoming obstacles to achieve personal and professional happiness.

This book is different from the first book in this series but it is a good book the thing I liked the least was all the servitude in this relationship and the excuse that it was making her a better woman ,Heck no! The sex is this book is steamy this book is about a Dom and Master falling in love and I have learned a different style of BDSM in this book and this is a good story.

This book was totally different from the pervious book in the series and I really loved it. Not reading much about BDSM previously this book was really a mini crash course. Nick was such a wonderful teacher for Zerrin. He really taught her the ropes of the lifestyle and helped her mature as a woman. Their sessions together had me so intrigued, and their regular arc scenes were quite erotic. I'm loving the D'Amato family dynamic. When they get together it is really a hoot. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

Very good read. The content of this book was very enjoyable. The story moved at a good pace as did the sex scenes. I would have given this book five stars but the grammar or typIng errors were bad. However, not as bad as book one, which was also a very good read.

To Love and Obey is the second book in the D’Amato Brothers series by Vera Roberts. While this book is part of a series, it can be read and enjoyed as a standalone novel.
Nicholas D’Amato is a popular English Professor at NYU who is also know as the hardest. Nick enjoys blurring the lines between professional and personal. His new grad student seems to inspire him to make changes to his normal behavior. I found Nick very down to earth.
Zerrin Campbell is a graduate student at NYU and works as a teaching assistant to Professor Nicholas D’Amato. Zerrin comes across as a woman who seems to know who she wants to be but struggles to achieve it. It seems to take Nick within a D/s relationship for her achieve it.
The connection between Nicholas and Zerrin is intense. I enjoyed seeing Nick and Zerrin try to make their relationship work. It was very believable. The sex scenes were blistering. I loved that they spent time as Nick and Zerrin and stepped out of their D/s roles.
I found this story very well written with a realistic plot overall. The main characters and the secondary characters were interesting. The ending of the story was a bit predictable but I enjoyed seeing the natural progression they story had. Overall, this was a fabulous story.

This was a little different from the few other books I've read that deals with BDSM which haven't been that many....but To Love and Obey opens your eyes to what really goes on in the "lifestyle". This is a sensual/erotic book that takes a deeper look into the D/s relationship.....and when all is said and done Nick and Zerrin will both find something in their D/s relationship that helps them overcome some obstacles and to find that happiness that they want in both their personal and professional lives. This was just my second read by Ms. Roberts and so looking forward to read many more...

Better continuation of the D'Amarto Bros. One can understand why Nick is called St. Nick 😉 A close knit family who may have financially struggled never strayed from one another. Love the interaction between Nick and Zerrin. As always will not spoil storyline but am a fan of the D’Amato family. The storyline become a lot more intriguing in the next instalment. Wonderful and erotic writing on Interracial relationships by Vera.

Awesome writing! I like the way Very took you though a D/s relationship. Building the trust and the love was amazing. I couldn't put this book down.

Like a blossoming flower
We see Zarrin go from a nerdy unconfirmed young woman t to a well rounded confident one w with Nick's guidance. For the first time in his l ife, Nicholas finally found his last sub. Zarrin was the one. Even though Nick kept hiś personal life very private, there were still the rumors about his relationship with some of his f emale students, and there were one person scheming to hold that over his head. He loved Zarrin so much he was determined to protect her.
Even though I like this author 's other works, this one is just not my cup of tea. BDSM aspects are just lost on me and the author seemed to go on and on with Nick and Zarrin's BDSM scenes. despite that, I loved the brother's relationship with each other and their mother. It tickled me how protective of their mother they were.

Why?
I don't understand? Why is Zerrin still playing the role of a submissive after they are married? Is that standard practice of just the way they wanted to keep it?
This was a good story about another one of the five D' Amato brothers. Now on to number three.

I dont mind BDSM, I rather enjoy reading about it. However, there is something I dont like when it comes to menage trois and the male and female leads of my story. That is why I rated this low, I kind of speed read and skipped through the book.

Definitivamente este genero de novela erotica se esta aprovechando del exito de 50 shades, pero dejan mucho que desear. Esta historia es insipida y aburrida.
