Observation
There is an eight month period in my life that I do not permit myself to think about. The eight months of my life when I was Nick O’Malley’s sexual submissive.
Eight months of the best sex I’d ever had. Eight months of spankings and nipple clamps, eight months of floggers and whips, eight months of swiftly escalating obedience and submission.
And then, things started escalating in a way that I was powerless to resist.
I recognized the look in Patrick’s eyes today because I’d seen it before. I’d seen the same look in Nick’s eyes for eight months – a certain focused intensity and a calm control, before he began to steadily strip apart every little bit of who I was, every little spark of personality, to create a sweet, willing submissive instead.
When I finally summoned the courage to break my terrible addiction, I made a promise to myself. No more. I’d play my spanking games, and I’d play at submission. But I could sense dominance in men, and I avoided it; I had determined that I was not strong enough to survive again.
The look in Patrick’s eyes took me back to that dark time. And I was adamant I wouldn’t go there again.
***Patrick and Lisa continue to see each other, but they are both keeping secrets; secrets that could tear them apart. How long before they find out what the other has been hiding?***
Note: This novella includes medical play, spankings, domination, graphic sexual scenes, and more.

An excerpt:
I was a distracted, horny mess. I couldn’t think about Patrick without thinking about the way he had spanked me; the way he had strapped me down to the examination table and thrust his cock down my throat; the way he had pulled me into his body as he handed me coffee Sunday morning. By the time Wednesday evening came around, I would have spontaneously combusted if he so much as looked at my clitoris.
“Miss Preston,” Patrick greeted me at his door. I was dressed casually, since I was aware the clothes weren’t going to stay on for very long; jeans and a t-shirt; a hoodie thrown over it. Even my lingerie underneath was plain; a simple grey cotton bra and panties. Functional clothes; I’d be taking them off shortly.
“Dr. Anderson,” I replied.
“Go on to the examination room please, and change into the robe,” he said. “I’ll be along in a minute.”
“Yes, Doctor,” I said obediently, and made my way upstairs. My hands were shaking; my entire body was tingling in anticipation. Standing in the middle of the examination room, I forced myself to take several deep breaths before I stepped out of my clothing, and into the almost-transparent robe.
He had warned me when we talked on the phone Monday that today would be intense; he had insisted on a safeword. Red. I kept it simple. He wouldn’t tell me anything else; laughing and refusing to ruin the surprise. I changed into my robe on autopilot while reliving the memory of our conversation Monday, and I realized I was smiling. Fuck. Three dates, a couple of phone calls, and I was seriously hooked. This was trouble.
I sat down on the stool, the metal cold against my bare ass, and I waited for him.
A knock, and he entered. He looked gorgeous; he was wearing his white lab coat, and under it, a blue shirt and grey slacks; I wanted to rip it all from his body; and take his hard length in me; I’d been fantasizing about Patrick since Sunday.
“Safeword?” he asked, searching my eyes for any hint of unease.

The second installment of the Doctor Dom series increases the kink factor, the emotional connection between the main characters, and leaves off with a rough cliffhanger...
Book two picks up right where Triage left off. It packs in some hard-core kink which will make you squirm and blush. The medical kink is a major factor in their playtime, as well as spankings and some domestic domination... And lots and lots of sex!
However, it's the focus on the characters themselves which make this installment so successful. Their relationship is moving beyond the sex (but thankfully not insta-love) an honest, friendly, and compassionate relationship is beginning to bloom...
Dr. Patrick Anderson
Lisa Preston
My main complaint about this book is that THE CHARACTERS AREN'T TALKING! I know I should probably shut my mouth, because if they jumped right into that conversation in book two, the story probably wouldn't be continuing... So there's nothing left to do now butimpatiently wait for the next installment!

By submitting to his desire for control, I had laid myself bare before him. Naked. Trembling. Fearful. Oddly hopeful.We last left Lisa Preston & Dr. Patrick Anderson in Triage (Doctor Dom Volume 1) with a fully-stocked exam room and Lisa's most filthy fantasies come true.

Dr. Patrick Anderson
I was on the brink of falling hard for this girl; falling hard and deep and willingly. She was perfection; she was honest and open and trusting and brave; and I wanted everything she had to give.
Lisa Preston
I had no control; yet I had all the control in the world; I was an expression of Patrick's imagination; but I brought something unique to his scene; I brought myself; my true expression of submission; my honest, unfiltered lust.We're learning what brought each character to discover pleasure in a D/s relationship... But we're also getting glimpses into why they've independently sworn off that type of connection... While the dual POV is giving the reader a glimpse into these issues, the couple is refusing to disclose the extent of their pasts...

Part two in this series keeps the sexy medical play alive and well. The reader is also given some more insight into Lisa's past and why she knows about BDSM. She also shares her fears with the reader. It always makes me wonder when a much older man dates a very young girl. Why does he do it? It isn't the sex exactly since we know men of that age can't compete in sex drive with a younger man. This possessing, manipulating and destroying of a young woman's identity must be too attractive for selfish arrogant men. I've met too many of these men which is probably why I connected to this story more and wanted to lob off Nick's balls with a dull rusty spoon.
It seems Patrick also has some issues with his past. He's been a dominant before and he fears something, which is yet to be revealed. The two are slowly building trust for each other. They still aren't quite there as they argue with themselves if they share their painful past with each other. This is where an author inserts conflict which Ms. Crescent doesn't fail to do. While this is predictable, it's also quite a sad commentary about humans. Lisa is obviously still suffering low self-esteem with some emotional baggage. Not really the kind of female I like. Her running from the slightest conflict is annoying. One can tell she's a bit fucked up in the head with her comment below.
I [Lisa] couldn’t help but think that I was just a series of Matryoshka dolls. Open up the capable business owner, and there was the girl who had rejected submission and love in favour of survival and self-respect. Open her up, and there was the barely healed welts of Nick O’Malley’s control. (loc. 253-255)
Rather than digress with how I don't understand people who allow themselves to be held hostage by an asshole years later, I'm going to move on to the sex. Ms. Crescent doesn't disappoint with her lovely medical play. The orders Patrick gives Lisa are smoking hawt and quite distracting. From an arousal factor, definitely panty wetting goodness. Ms. Crescent does leave the reader hanging again at the end. I'm hooked and want to read the next part. Recommended for kinky readers who love medical play.

I enjoyed most of this medical kink, the second part of the story from Tara Crescent. However, it left the state of their relationship on a cliff hangar that had me in a state of high tension...and contacting the writer Tara to find the third part isnt out yet and this is what i hate about serialisation...please Ms Crescent, hurry up, and do watch how you cross the road....leaving the story at such a conflicting point is cruel...wicked...i could put you over a spanking bench and wallop the story out of you with my hairbrush right now... Calm down, carol, no good for your blood pressure...right...this is a serial of at least three parts!
As with the first, Triage, this is also written in the first person with mini chapters showing each the main two protagonists view points, and I don't have a problem with this it is clear who is speaking/thinking.
Lisa, the professional designer with her own business, and mental baggage over BDSM in her past...Patrick a doctor, surgeon, and Dominant, also has past BDSM history, relating to ex wife, who comes across as one of those troublemakers you dearly wish to make part of the rear red ended except it would probably turn her on so definitely not...maybe a whack in the mouth with a cricket/baseball bat...but writer Tara cleverly doesn't tell all...she takes you to the edge of the cliff and leaves you hanging there by your finger tips, grrrr!
I loved the continuation of exploring Lisa's sexuality and Doctor Anderson's control and dominance through medical kink fantasies he so lovingly devizes, it was so erotic. Perfect for lovers of medical kink.
Also good for those with moral reservations as here the doctor isn't molesting any patients. His work is a separate item, his 'doctor' play breaks no Hippocratic oath, he breaks no sex laws...he even practices safe sex!
In this the characters are developing nicely, we are getting to know them better as people and you want all to go well for them...no you want to change places with one of them for sure and kick the other opposition out. But the reader still knows only so much about them, their pasts are being revealed bit at a time and conflict is jumping in big time...when we have to wait months now to find out...and I shall rant on in frustration. Like being taken to the heights of passion, then told no stop...no satisfaction for at least a couple of months...I left teeth marks in my arm dammit!
I have one little grouch and it's I dislike serials, I would much rather read a whole story, hate cliff hangers, hope there will be a compilation novel at the end. If so I heartily recommend it to those who like safe sex, touch of reality and medical kink to what seems to be a beautiful romance, just hope it's a HFN or HEA, or I will scream and have the biggest bloody tantrum out!!!
English is pretty good and proof read. So in dire need of more to come (pun intended) 4 stars for this, now, who knows it may even hit my five box...but the writer will have to wait and see.
Heartily recommend it for medical kink, romance lovers!

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book via the author in exchange of my honest opinion and review.
Lisa and Patrick met at a bar a few weeks ago. They have had a sexy and interesting dates, an exam room for make true their fantasies, and also they have a few skeletons in the closet.
What will happen when they show up?
One phrase for describing this book? Intensely hot. This series is awesome, it gets better with each edition.
Lisa had an eight month relationship with an extreme Dom, he didn’t want to be personal or cozy with her, and his only desires were dominate her in every form. She was too young and naïve in the BDSM scene, she doesn’t want another Dom/sub relationship but more time she spends with Patrick more submissive she is with him.
Patrick was married for eight years with his 24/7 submissive but the things went crazy. She wanted to be the ultimate submissive but he didn’t. He doesn’t want another Dom/sub relationship either, that’s why he calls Lisa unexpected, because now he desires that.
This story is really great, the plot is balanced: sexy/steamy scenes, real life outside the bedroom. The BDSM scene is delicious, Patrick is an excellent Dominant, he knows (and very well) how putting her in the edge of her pleasure. But he’s more than amazing sex. He is almost unreal.
My rate for this book is 4.5 steamy stars

Right there. I wanted to blurt out that I really liked her. That she was rapidly becoming important. But there was her submissiveness, that thing that I was deliberately ignoring until the time seemed right. Until we understood where we came from and what we wanted, I couldn’t say anything.

I wanted to get know her instead, slowly, in all the old-fashioned ways. I wanted her to bury her face in my chest as we watched a horror movie; I wanted our fingers graze while we both reached for the popcorn. I wanted picnics in the park, and shared meals and pints at our favorite pubs; I wanted to hold her in my arms as she slept, and make coffee for her in the mornings. I wanted to be the guy that made sure her car tires had air; that her wiper blades were changed for winter. I wanted more than sex.

(Awesome Book 2!)
Well, my fears of the second book having unneeded conflict were totally abated, as it seriously worked. Mainly because it made the characters become more real, less fictional if you will. I like when I can more closely relate to a character especially in a hot story like this one where I could see myself switching places with ... ::blush:: ahh, nevermind. ^_^
So, this book picks RIGHT back up with the other one left off. Not much time has transpired in the relationship (I think just a few weeks by the end), but again, the fast pace works for this. Ms. Crescent delves a bit deeper into describing the past fears and insecurities in previous relationships, and how it affects where you currently are in life. (As a side and almost personal note, boys who break you SUCK.) Patrick and Lisa are doing so many things right, but both are ignoring the very essential chat they need to have about their past. Patrick almost almost starts to breach it, but alas, it doesn't cross over into that final admission. SIGH. Also, Allison is a bitch. People like her are the people who give exes a bad name.
This story is wonderfully written, it flows very well and the occasional shift to Patrick nicely fills in otherwise left out gaps. If you didn't like medical play scenes before this story, I can guarantee that you will after reading this. :)

First and always important when I read any book with BDSM in it, is if safe-words are mentioned. Any book that I’ve read so far from Tara she has always made that a point. Thank you!
Secrets can and usually leads to misunderstandings, everyone is entitled to their secrets of course just be aware if they are effecting someone else.
I actually found myself liking both characters, the same writing style as the first one smooth and simple. Not too involved but enough to keep you reading.
I really liked Patrick his style and presence. As before I like Lisa a lot because she showed a lot of strength in putting her life back together. You will hear some of the story and get a chance to see deeper into Lisa.
This isn’t a stand alone of course, and I’m glad I have the next one already. (smiles) Its about the need to leave the past as it is and move on to whats waiting for you. Lisa struggles at making sure she doesn’t lose herself... I think a lot of subs out there has the same issue... Patrick a Dom.. in “control” or is he?
You can tell that they care about each other but are holding back a small piece of themselves and friends and ex's hanging around stirring up shit. Id have slapped his ex.. just saying
The kink is kinky!! the love is sweet and the story just flows until it drops off …. try to get the next book.. smirks a little. I really enjoyed it! I’m sure you will as well.. Do I recommend it .. yes for those into this special kinda kink...

This book picks up where book #1 left off.
Well hello Doctor Anderson, I've been a naughty girl and need to be bent over your knee for punishment. Please. Ok the medical play continues in this book. We learn more about Lisa's first BDSM experience with Nick and how she is determined to NOT let that happen to her and Patrick. Nick is much older than Lisa and played on her insecurities, using them against her to hurt her. BDSM is about trust and respect, but Nick wasn't playing that game, he was playing something much more dangerous. Lisa has over come and is moving on. She has her own business and its going well. She also has a new man in her life, Patrick, who she likes to play doctor with. As the time between Lisa and Patrick pass they are learning how to trust each other and what is okay.
I love how Doctor Anderson cares about her, how he is a hard ass, but will still ask, is this okay? He does care, he wants that bond with her, he wants that connection with her, but there is something in him that is holding him back. Things are slowly pieced together from Lisa and Patrick's past. I was disappointed when Lisa ran. I thought she had worked past all that, but yet when push comes to shove, she still ran.
I did get a little creeped out with the enema's. But the rest of the stuff I could handle. Would I like it done to me? yeah, NO.

The Doctor Dom Series just keeps getting better and better!! The conflict is believeable. For the BDSM genere, that's saying something! To often the heroine is TSTL, as though do intelegent woman could, or would enjoy BDSM. That is never the case with Tara Crescent books. Though is it sad that Lisa is questioning herself (and Patrick)it is quite understandable.
The Sex... WOW!!! It just keeps geting Hotter! Can't wait to read book three! Lucky for me, it's already loaded and ready to go on my Nook!!
*Luck me!!! Book gifted for Honest review!! I <3 Tara Crescent!!*

I think its the first time when the second book is better than the first. 4 spank-me-stars! Im finding myself getting lost in the story, which is always great! :) the sex is freaking awesome and the ex-wive drama had me gripping my laptop. I hate cliffhangers so i didn't get my happy ending, but you can bet I'm going to read book 3.

Here I am again, just a few hours after reading “Triage” in one go. It seems that I am drawn to this series. I have no control … if you know what I mean ;)
So first of all I am positively surprised that Patrick wants more from Lisa than just sex. Because I claim, in real life it is rather rare that a Dom in such a position really wants to spend a life with his Sub. Most of the time they only care about one thing: their own and absolute pleasure.
In general, I surprisingly like this light story a lot. It is not heavy at all, but it is not cheesy either. I never expected this book series to be so entertaining. The author's writing style is not as slutty as most erotic romance authors, but the sex is still – and maybe precisely because of that – really great. Not too much and not too little. And even a pretty solid romance between the two main characters.
One question at the end: Am I the asshole for liking the ‘bad’ ending? Because I am really looking forward to how Lisa will try and fail miserably to stay away from Patrick in the next book in the “Doctor Dom” series …

dnf @ 45%. I’m tired. It feels a bit too repetitive; it’s just clitorial (is that a word? idk & idc) play and blowjobs. I’m tired. I’m not sure why this is split I to like 3 books when it could’ve been just one story.

This has more character development than the first installment did which makes it a different reading experience. I quite liked it - although I didn't like the cliffhanger ending.

Observation
Observation is the second volume in the Doctor Dom series by Tara Cresent if you haven’t read volume one you’ll want to do that first. This is the continuation of Dr Patrick Anderson and Lisa’s affair.
Lisa has some serious hang-ups from her past and the fact that she’s realizing that Patrick isn’t just pretending to be a dominant for the sake of playing out her fantasy has her terrified she’ll fall into the same traps again.
Patrick has his own hang-ups from his failed marriage and it concerns him how easily Lisa falls into the submissive role. The last thing he wants is to end up with another woman that wants him to take complete control over her entire life. He wants a partner in life and a sweet submissive in the bedroom.
Can they trust each other and find what they both seek or will doubts keep them apart?
Observation gets FOUR stars for storyline and FIVE soaked panties for smut, if you like your books HOT this is the one you want to read. Love the dirty dirty.

A little disappointed in this story after the first. Doctor and patient became just a convenient replacement for the titles of Master and sub here with little development in the kink from a medical standpoint, just repetition of one part of the original scene in the first book but without much of the pretense played out initially that made it so sexy the first time around. On the whole still an enjoyable story and interesting enough to want to see where the relationship is going but I'm not holding out much hope for the kink.

Patrick and Lisa continues to date and play. They try more intensive plays in Patrick's exam room, but he is not controlling outside the bed room. But at the end of the book, Lisa hurt her wrist from a falling accident, and ran into Patrick's ex-wife, Andrea who told Lisa that Andrea was Patrick's 24/7 submissive. Out of fear of falling into a similar relationship Lisa had with Nick, freaked out and ran away from Patrick who came over to ER.

Interesting! Wish these books were on KU .
I've read 2 but can't afford to keep buying them even though I would like to know the finale. It seems the doctor really cares for her but will she go back to that lifestyle?
