Review of: Bound to Surrender, A Doms of Genesis Novella by Jenna Jacob
5/5 for story
5/5 for heat
Genre: BDSM, M/M
When you wait for over a year for a book, you almost get to the point where you know for sure you’re going to be disappointed when it finally comes out. So it was with trepidation that I opened my kindle and started reading, Bound to Surrender, A Doms of Genesis Novella by the wonderful Jenna Jacob. After all, Trevor and Daddy, also known as Moses, were by far my most favorite characters in any of Miss Jacobs books, and I just knew anything I read wouldn’t be good enough for them.
Well, I was so wrong! This book is so good that it’s almost hard to put into words all the emotions I felt when I was reading it. I laughed, I cried so hard, and when I finished, all I wanted was more of the story!!! I wanted more, I admit I am greedy when it comes to Miss Jacob and her writing. I have been a fan from day one, and with every book she writes I am drawn into their world. There are not a lot of authors I feel that way about, nor almost any that I look to with such anticipation when I hear she’s back in her writing cave.
Miss Jacobs has a way of pulling on your emotions without going overboard, and never is this truer than with this story. Trevor Hammond is a sub and lover to Moses, a.k.a. Daddy Drake. Their love story started 16 years earlier when Daddy saved Trevor from being assaulted by a group of gay hating bigots. He nursed the younger man back to health and they have been together ever since.
All is wonderful in their world until Trevor is beaten within an inch of his life again, again for nothing more than walking down the street. Daddy Drake nurses him once again, yet this time, severe P.T.S.D. has set in, and for once the Giant Dom doesn’t know how to help his boy. The journey towards healing is slow, and sometimes so painful to read that I had to stop and wipe the tears away. I don’t really believe in spoilers so this is all I will say, the entire book, from start to finish is so full of love, grit and determination that when Trevor and Drake get when they both so desire in the end, it just works.
Along the way in their journey to healing, we are again seeing some old favorite characters, Mika, Julianna, and others, who help the two struggling men, but in the end it really is all about Trevor and Drake. My only complaint is that I wish the story was longer, but then as I have said, I am very greedy when it comes to Miss Jacobs writing.
If Heaven help us, she never writes another Doms of Genesis book, then this one is a great way to end the series, although I hope she continues to write these wonderful stories.
