Arrick has been slowly seducing Mallory over the past few months. She’d hesitantly forgiven him and they were dancing around being a couple yet again. Mallory goes to see Mistress Ariel two times a month and is learning what it means to be a submissive female to a dominate male such as Master Arrick. She has accepted that she likes pain, and that is not a bad thing. Without it, she feels as if she is walking through her life in a semi-numb state of existence.
Arrick has been biding his time, sending her gifts and hand written notes and taking her on real dates. He calls it courting her, old school style. She is ready for more, especially the long enforced state of mutual celibacy that Arrick has insisted on. She offers herself to the man she loves, and he takes over as her mentor, dominate, lover and guide in all things BDSM.
But Mallory’s past life catches up with her, and she is abducted. Arrick hunts for her, intent on killing her captors and saving the woman he loves – but will he find her and save her before it’s too late?
This book is amazing but definitely not for the faint of heart. It is graphic, emotional and yet still shows how strong a woman can overcome her past. Make sure to read book 1 & 2 before reading this though because it is necessary to understand the depth of the story line.
This is my 5 star review for Delayed Surrender 3 by Megan Bright. Delayed Surrender 3 is the continuation of the path to love for Mallory Dunlap and Arrick Sanderson Jr. Arrick is a hot, sexy, and rich Dom who has made a massive mistake. He has a lot to make up for and is determined to do everything he can to make things right with Mallory. He takes his time and seduces Mallory in a way he never has before. He shows her that there is more to his love for her than just domination. Will he be able to make Mallory his collared submissive forever this time? Will his mother come between them again? Mallory is a beautiful but broken woman. She has been through something that no woman or submissive ever should. She is determined to move on with her life and no let the past rule her life anymore. She is even enjoying the new side of Arrick that she had never seen before. Will her past come back and haunt her and ruin everything that she has worked so hard for? Will she be able to ever fully forgive Arrick? I think this was the best one of the series. We get to see different sides to the main characters that we haven’t previously seen before. There were a few moments where I had to put my kindle down to keep from throwing it against the wall but it was so worth it. What Mallory had to overcome was unthinkable and I am glad that Arrick was there to help her through it. I really enjoyed this series and hated to see it end. The only negative I have about this series is I believe that it could have been made into one book. I think making it a three part series was really not needed. If you are looking for a hot Dom who is the King in his community then this one fits the bill.
I very much enjoyed this story and stand by what I originally wrote after part 1. I do however strongly recommend reading parts 1 & 2 prior to starting this one.
Previous review:I very much enjoyed this story and series. It was a bit out of the norm for me, in a good way. This story I would classify as erotic contemporary romance. It is a story and the story itself was very good. I have already gone back to read favored parts over again.
BDSM is involved heavily here, however because Mallery is new to that world, there is a lot of explanation throughout the story. I felt, from what limited knowledge I have, it was nicely handled throughout, especially with regard to the differences between straight out avuse and BDSM.
This is a 3 book story (I abhor when they are split up like that). I have to give credit where credit is due, each story was quite long and the breaking points make sense.
I highly recommend this series to anyone 18+ and mature knowing explicite language & actions are involved.
