Absolute Will
Faith knew what she wanted. Her career, her own life, and the occasional play partner. She had planned out her existence and was quite capable of fulfilling it on her own, no man needed. She was self-reliant and strong. At least, she considered herself to be. However, a few martinis and a chance encounter with a woman that she expected would be a casual fling, ended up turning Faith's world upside down and her beliefs in strength and independence turned inside out. Take a journey with Faith as she learns true courage in offering absolute submission to another; another who accepts nothing but absolute obedience to his will.

Two females getting it on is a guy's wet dream, isn't it? What happens when the girlfriend's boyfriend takes exception to this unauthorized frolicking f/f fete? Not good things if the boyfriend also happens to be her Master.
The concept of this story is steamy hawt. Faith gets down on Grace and is caught by Grace's male lover, William. Since Grace and William are in a M/s relationship and Grace repeatedly resists pussy licking, this little "episode" does not go over well. William decides to teach Grace and Faith a lesson with a harsh and humiliating punishment. Then he entices Faith to the dark side - the depraved kinky submission which she secretly craves.
The BDSM sex scenes in this tale follow the popular fantasies found on free BDSM story websites such as Literotica. These are favourites because they are dirty hot spank bank material due to the humiliation, control and multiple partners. The watersports and edging are tasty morsels.
As a first book by Ms. Trembly, it's a good start. She gets the fantasy. Her execution of the story needs a bit of work. First, switching points of view between four people, one of them a minor character in one scene is not recommended. Pick one character and stick to that person. If there must be multiple perspectives, at least separate through different chapters. Changing from one to another in a few paragraphs is sloppy and distracting.
Second, fix the dialog. Stuttering in a character's dialog should be used sparingly. With Faith incessantly stammering her answers to William, it became more aggravating than endearing. The reader already knows Faith is nervous and questioning her decision to dive into this kinky world. Another recommendation is to drop the porn-type discourse between the characters. It came across as cheesy porn flick.
Third, the entire interaction between the characters came across as an online roleplaying between a person just learning about BDSM and a want to be dominant giving her instructions. I'm not saying that what is portrayed in this story is inaccurate. In fact, I find it to be very accurate of online kinky relationships where the "dominant" sends emails, instant message or text messages to the desperately seeking submissive. The so called commands appear corny and best left between the online players. Revealing it to the outside world would only earn them eye rolls. It's kind of embarrassing to witness - not too dissimilar from watching two virgins fumbling their way through their first time. This is not sexy nor arousing.
My recommendation is to focus on either character or plot development. Since this is an erotic genre, perhaps spend time on the character development first. Taking a Faith on a hedonistic fuckfest from Vanilla to bratty slave did not endear Faith to the reader. There weren't any attributes which were engaging or admirable. It's hard to connect to her. If the sex scenes were better written in a smooth yet gritty erotic manner, this story would have rated higher. It would have been at least a lewd enjoyable porn without a plot.

As a first foray into a BDSM novel I must say I was not displeased. It was a challenge for me sure, there is no background to the characters and no real world building but the story flowed nicely and the writing was simple but elegant. It took about 8% of the book to really get into it and at first the style of the characters point of views confused me but it became easier after a few pages.
The story is straightforward: Faith meets a girl named Grace, Grace brings her home, they have wonderful sex and then Grace’s Master (William) caught them and decided to punish them both. Thus, setting Faith on the path into a whole new lifestyle of which she is frightened and curious, the live of BDSM, Dominate/Submissive.
The struggles of Faith and the Dominance of William are greatly portrayed going into depth and descriptions that will leave you blushing and wanting more. I enjoyed watching Faith grow and accept her new lifestyle, even if it was hard and painful for her it was nice to see her open up at the end.
While there are a few mistakes in the novel (I found 2) It was well edited. Throughout the books I was appalled, angry, confused, and utterly engrossed, finishing the book in one sitting. I do hope the author decides to write more books, and maybe expand on this one since we only got to see the tip of the iceberg of the relationship between Grace, Faith and William.

This book could be called absolute swill as it is devoid of tension and contains barely a plot. A tale of submission by a woman of no backbone to a dominant with no manners and that is all. A lot of beating, no denouement and no idea of what the struggle for submission was all about. How the writer? could publish this tripe is beyond me. One dimensional characters who do not have a life, working or otherwise lack interest for the reader but above all, the narrative is thin to the point of emaciation. A good summary would be submissive meets dominant, gets beaten a lot, passes the tests, gets collared, so what?!

Ugh! And that's all I will say.
