Dom
In the world of pain and pleasure, Charles Damien Macavoy reigned. He was a man apart, one who required more than most. He was a Master of BDSM.
He’d been asked by another Dom a good friend to train the Dom’s current sub and love interest. Charles had trained many, but found himself attracted to his new trainee.
He was aware that the fascination would wear off, it always did, and he’d return the trainee to her Master willing and ready to submit.
Lurking in the shadows of a world few are accustomed to is evil. Sometimes a thing of beauty has hidden thorns. Sometimes the hunter becomes the hunted.
**This book contains BDSM, explicit sex and for those over the age of 18.**

*Warning: May contain spoilers. 18+ read*
Let me start off by saying I am SO OVER these kinds of books pushing women (back) into submission. I took one look at the cover, literally rolled my eyes and said "Just shut up" a la that blonde in the movie Mean Girls. I like BDSM in the bedroom, sometimes in a club/dungeon environment if you're role playing with a partner. I don't want to "own" anyone else, either. My self esteem isn't that low. Sure, I like some spice in the bedroom and I don't mind switching. But you try to be my "master" outside of the bedroom or in public I'll knock you into the middle of next week. I'm not a submissive woman and I don't like reading about submissive women, either. I've said it before, If I ever do want to I'll browse the history section of the library - where books like this belong. I don't kneel. Never have. Never will. I'm a redhead. We handle you...IF you're lucky ;)
However, I was assured by the author's damn good PA that this isn't entirely what it sounds like, and there's actually some variety. I also said to myself, "Self, it is the mark of an educated mind to entertain a thought without necessarily accepting it." Naturally I agreed with myself. Then I scolded myself, because I'm obviously insane to keep reading the same stuff and expecting a different result...
Dominant man Charles Damien Macavoy is asked by his best friend and fellow Dom, Jason, to train his girlfriend. Apparently she's not obedient enough. Could it be that perhaps she's living in the 21st century where women have rights and that gosh darn 13th Amendment prohibits slavery?
Of course, he was raised in a home where his father's word was law and "God forbid" *coughsarcasm* that his mother not be obedient. See why books like this are bad for women? The more people read this kind of thing the more they're trained - literally - into thinking like this. Love does not mean obedience. Details...
The guy likes a challenge, particularly headstrong women who refuse to submit to any man...could you BE more egotistical?! Hey, Charlie guess what? That IS a caveman mentality. Women aren't property. We're human beings. No cock - 12" or not - is worth giving up your life. (And really...12"?? Sure, OK, whatever...) His father's words "To be a man, you need to command respect from your peers and from the women around you." Well, Charles I guess you're not a man then, because I do not respect you and your archaic sensibilities.
Nor do I respect that only ONCE did Charles ever wear a condom. If safe is part of the BDSM motto (safe, sane, consensual) then the sex needed to be safer! Also, every club I've ever been to didn't sell alcohol or permit you to bring your own. One drink is OK to take off the edge, but when I read "the drinks will be abundant" I was appalled. One cannot have his or her wits about them when they have consumed alcohol...
Charles's "pet" and submissive, Tasha is the kind of woman I loved and hated at the same time. She spent all of her money (from hooking) and basically starves herself just to look good, just to get the Dom everyone wanted, just to prove a point. If you like sex, fine, but stop using/abusing your body to get what you want. And stop using men as an ATM! This is where women's liberation went wrong. Make your own money and support yourself! Sure it works fine when you're "in your prime" at 26, but what happens when you're 46? 56? What happens when a man dumps you for someone half your age, simply because he can? With no money, no skills (b/c you didn't work your whole life as a result of submitting and giving up everything), what will you do then. Go on welfare just to get by? Hope someone helps you or if you're with someone, pray they don't leave you? Congratulations- now you're a pariah. Great. Way to ruin it for the rest of us...
Turned on by a neighbor because she's a strong woman with a career, he seduces her and loves that he finally gets to own a woman, "she'd submit, then trust, then love". Ha! Yeah, then lose her identity, independence, sense of self while he sticks it in anyone he wants...aaaaand we're back to the medieval ages. I mean there's a woman that has no problem just giving up control to someone she barely knows.What?? Hey dumb ass, why don't you just give up your right to vote while you're at it? I'm sick of hearing it takes a strong will to submit (particularly from men). Throw caution to the wind? Really Charles? YOU throw caution to the wind. YOU be "strong" and submit, then I'll be impressed.
Know what's REALLY strong? A MAN who submits- why? Because I hate men? Nope. Not even close. Because it goes against the grain. That's why. Because society is so Hell bent on dominant men and submissive women. It takes no strength to jump on a bandwagon or to follow what the crowd has done for hundreds of years. Treading OFF the beaten path- now that shit turns me on like I can't even explain in any human language...
Charles was so sure Tasha was the perfect submissive for him, until his neighbor (Joy) walked into his life and he just fucked her right off the bat. Because he just couldn't help himself when she was crying and demure and helpless.. Oh shut the fuck up.
Not to mention Charles is loathe to commit. It didn't work out with his ex-wife and he likes "variety". *sigh*. Why can't a woman enjoy variety in life? Why should a woman be at a man's beck and call (like Charles wants and prefers) but if it's the other way around the man would be considered weak and the woman would be called a feminazi/man hater? Furthermore, why is love a weakness for men, but a necessity for women? If women were stronger, independent, and didn't (need to) keep men to support them then men would have no power - *gasp!* This scares the shit out of weak little boys like Charles Macavoy. Books like this are pushed so the bias in society remains in place.
Tasha asks about having a say in the break up and of course Charles says no. That he's the master. He just replaces her without remorse. There it is! There's the reason you should be independent. Give up everything, and next thing you know you're replaced and trying to find out who you are, how your bills are getting paid...all because he fucked someone else. Someone else that was obedient. But he fucks Tasha before he officially dumps her. he's a guy so it's OK, right?? Why do women want this shit? ::Facepalm::
FYI, Being independent doesn't mean you can't be in a relationship. Just don't lose yourself or give up your life to anyone else (I'm speaking to BOTH genders here). All the bad things Tasha was involved in could have been avoided if she didn't reduce her self worth into nothing more than an object for a man to own. A "master" doesn't let emotions get in the way. Yet if a woman behaves like this she's a bitch...
I loathe that there actually are some men that think strong women are nothing but a challenge. It's sexist and outdated. Books like this reflect the social bias for shaming women into sexual passivity and servile obedience. I shake my head that there are women that crave to be owned and taken care of. Yeah, um, the middle ages are over. We have the right to vote and make our own decisions now. But it's only been 2014 years...eventually this caveman, misogynistic mentality will die off....IF there are more women out there like me who STAND UP instead of fucking kneeling!
Anyone who wants to own another human being has an inferiority complex.
Real men aren't threatened by strong women. They appreciate us. When you no longer see a strong, independent woman as something to challenge you (into getting her to submit), that's the day you've grown up and earned your man card.
Are there any pluses? Sure. 1. The sex scenes are pretty good, considering (which is one reason why I finished the book in the first place). 2. Props for including F/F and a 4 way, and for mentioning biting and eluding to certain parts of play. 3. There was mention of a cane, even though it was never used. 4. There was a mention that not all BDSM couples are M/F when it comes to D/s. I know plenty of same sex couples and female Dommes, so that's a good thing. 5.Extra props for Tasha's cutting up the bodies of her enemies. This is one thing I really liked about her.
I mean I get that this was just a short sexy read but I'm not the type of woman who's turned on by just anything. I prefer more intellectual books-books that make me think... Not an insult, just the kind of reader I am.
Now the story? Well, misogyny aside, there wasn't much of a story or character arc. They don't evolve. Not much drama, and what there was didn't have much substance. I get that this stuff is mainly written for desperate housewife types, but there wasn't even resolve with the Samantha character (the trainee in the beginning). She is part of the 4-way, then just decides to go back to her Dom, Jason (Charles's friend) and be obedient... just like that. The way he was describing her in the beginning made it seem like she was the exact opposite of Tasha's body type, and that there was going to be much more of a love (if you can use that word) triangle than there was.
**Also, there's a note in the beginning that final edits all come from the author. Well, there were several punctuation and grammatical errors. If you want to be a real Dom, you're going to need to learn to learn how to edit. You're a master of nothing until you're a master of your own language.**
You're not a "man apart", Charles. You're just...a man.
Side note: I pay my own bills, open my own doors, and carry my own luggage. Not because I have to, but because I CAN.

Charles MaCavoy is a Dom – a Master – through and through – which is ultimately the driving force behind the demise of his nine-year marriage to Antoinette.
During the following five years of single life, Charles assists in the occasional training of other Dom’s submissives – only sexually training with permission. At a time when Charles has his own submissive, Tasha (who has a huge jealousy streak and doesn’t like “sharing”), and a sex slave, Maria, he is asked by his friend and Dom, Jason, to assist with training his submissive, Samantha. Jason declares his love for Samantha and is of the opinion that is hampering with her obedience, but Jason doesn’t grant permission for sexual training.
Things happen between Charles and Samantha within the first ten minutes of her arrival at Charles’ apartment, prior to him taking her to his local BDSM club, The Velvet Safire – which irritates and incites jealousy in Sasha.
At 70% into the story, Charles’ neighbor, Joy, is introduced, only adding to Charles’ dilemmas. The author surprised me with the ending – I did not see that coming.
While I enjoyed the story line, there are several things in this story I have a problem with. I feel the story is rushed, with things happening too quickly. Due to the fact I am also an erotic author who writes about Master/slave dynamics, I feel the sex/play scenes are not detailed enough for me to describe them as being super-hot. That’s not to say they’re not hot for others. Consumption of alcohol prior to “scenes”, and mentioned as being available at the BDSM club, is a definite no-no – alcohol is prohibited for ANY play, whether at a club, or in a private setting. Things with the trainee submissive, Samantha, occur way too quickly – and I feel Charles violates Jason’s trust by overstepping his training. In my opinion, this doesn’t represent the true essence of a controlled and respected Dom/Master. During a scene at the club, a submissive calls her Master by his Christian name – again, this a definite no-no. I had heard so much about Ethan Radcliffe, and upon reading the blurb for this book, was excited to one-click. I was a little disappointed, for Mr Radcliffe, and as a reader, with the amount of spelling mistakes, missing words, or incorrect words used, and missed punctuation throughout the copy I purchased. It was a turn off for me and took away the enjoyment of reading it, and is ultimately the reason for my 3.5/4 star rating.

This is the first book I've read by Ethan Radcliff - or any male romance or erotica author - but I won't be the last. This was a very well written story that drew me in right from page 1. This book had it all: mystery, suspense, romance, love and scorching hot sex.
Charles Macavoy considered himself a man apart from others. He was a Dom in all senses of the word, all aspects of his life. Having been married and divorced, Charles focused on the lifestyle and honing his skills within it. Lately he felt the call for 'more' - a woman in his home, in his life permanently. Was his current submissive, Tasha, the one?
Mr Radcliff penned a story that was definitely from the male perspective, but I found that immensely interesting. This book just hooked me and held on. I enjoyed it very much and will definitely read more of Ethan's work.

I had a long discussion about this book with my co-reviewer. We went over the just about everything in this book and we still differed in our opinion of it. That's not a bad thing. What floats someone's boat. doesn't necessarily float another's.
I have come to the conclusion, from the discussions with my co-reviewer, that if you haven't a submissive bone in your body and cannot get your head around the reasons why there are some ladies who are willing to submit, then you really won't enjoy these kinds of books.
Tasha actually wasn't a submissive in the true sense of the word. Yes she did whatever Charles wanted but she did a lot of it through gritted teeth. Her plan was to snag Charles for herself. She wanted the prestige of being with a top Dom, a highly respected Dom. She wanted the position of being on his arm and giving him her submission was her way of trying to achieve her goal. No doubt, somewhere down the line, she would have wanted to change him.
Personally, I loved this book. It wasn't abusive, it was highly sexually charged and Tasha's personality was great to watch as she unfolded.
The author has written two very good characters. Yes Charles was arrogant, but then would anyone want to read about a wishy washy Dom? No, Dom's are Doms because of their arrogance, because of their self-belief. There's a fine line between arrogance and confidence and yes Charles crossed that line several times over.
My theory about male authors still stands regarding the way they write their alpha men. A female author's alpha man may be arrogant, but he will also be charming. Male authors tend to go straight for the arrogance jugular and there's not usually anything charming about them. Charles was a case in point. He took whatever was offered to him on a plate. Was he a bastard? Yeh probably. But while there are women who let him get away with that, then he will keep on going.
I received an ARC of this book and I'd like to say thanks to the author for that. There were a few editing issues thoughout the book, but as it's an ARC, I would presume these will be picked up on a final edit before hitting the publish button.
Great story, different...and well worth the top marks I'm giving it.

You're not just cock, Sir!!
What a great BDSM story! Charles is a strong alpha male dominate. Having previously loved and lost, he is not seeking love. He is content with his sex slave and sub. His feelings start to change when a close friend asks him to train his current sub, Samantha. This makes Charles' wonder if it is possible to find something more.
Tasha, his possessive sub doesn't like the idea of him training another sub. She wants him all to herself. Her jealousy has the potential to make her loose control.
Things really heat up when he actually speaks to his neighbor, Joy. He's seen her in passing and always though of her as too vanilla for his tastes. See how their conversation changes EVERYTHING!! Grab your copy TODAY!!

I am going straight in with tanning Ethan's hide with the amount of non protective sex going on! Hmmmm I absolutely did not and won't ever agree to reading men sticking it everywhere which way but Sunday and not being 'adult' about it and sleeving in this case that ginormous dick because dude they without a doubt make king kongdoms for sure! You know you can still cover your vein and drive her insane! 'Safe' has two meanings you know ;0)or at least let us see you've asked the woman of the moment if she's clean or protected herself. And then let's be honest would you trust the answer?
This is that kinda book that had me absolutely sighing with frustration with the amount of insta-submission going on! As my long standing followers know I don't have a submissive bone in me and this really went into danger zone levels of frustrating reading watching these modern day women fall like pins from listening to a man talk in his Pyjamas outside his apartment and make the woman he's seen fleetingly for the past year fall at his feet! I don't think so! I might point out this is the only area by red light warning light was flashing, this is the area that I couldn't deal with the insta-relationship.
I don't think Ethan quite knew where this book was taking him, the plot veins' OMG that word again lol, seem to change slightly as we went on, not saying that’s bad at all but it was liking reading what Ethan was scribbling down at the time and think ohhhh that's a good idea let's go with that. But then this isn't a literary genius of a book it's down and dirty erotic BDSM, so it's not going to win any literary prizes (sorry) but for what it is is definitely readable, in parts very enjoyable and in other parts frustrating.
Going back to the Insta-submission, I feel quite strongly about this, is this really what men think and find sexy in women? Do men really want women to accept that he can 'spread his lurve' and she just has to accept and say thank you Sir. Do men really want to 'tame' a stronger character and beat her down (and no I don't mean physically) to a quivering yes Sir wreck? So on this score for me this book deffo lost a star because I didn't like how women were yet again portrayed. There was one part in this book, he thought he'd found a connection with someone and then not an hour later was shoving his unprotected 12" dick ( cough ) into his submissive again. Charles, you really do need to learn the words 'keep it in your pants!'
The twist of Tasha was a nice variation, and the ending, well I so wasn't expecting that! I have to say I would have done something to Tasha just for the women that fought for woman’s lib and all that jazz lol she is conniving and objectionable on many levels, this woman pissed me off tremendously and yet was the glue of the book and what kept you reading on to find out what was going to happen.
I have to rate this book on two levels, my personal feelings towards the book is definitely three stars, it's good but it's annoying as heck for the subjugation of women falling at the feet of an archaic, club wielding (yeah and I'm not talking about his dick), caveman. On a review level for woman loving this genre and women that are pawns in a game of me man you woman, you're gonna love it indeed and it wouldn't probably score less than 4 stars!

Reviewed by Tracey Lou Parker on behalf of Kindle Friends Forever.
This was my very first encounter with the writings of Ethan Radcliff. Yes, I have read his poetry which is sublime in itself, but I've never read a full length novel by him. Blow me down with a feather! Why has it taken me so long? Needless to say, I will be delving into the mind of Ethan Radcliff again.
D O M. Charles Damien Macavoy. Even his name conjures up images of grandeur. Suave, sophisticated and charming. Caring towards ladies, this handsome man oozing noodles of sex appeal, makes the list of erotic adjectives endless. And above all, he is a master of BDSM. What more could a girl ask for! Oh! And a rather large appendage that will have the ladies drooling. He is a man who knows how to work it to its best advantage! Yes, I think I'm in love LOL.
Charles is also a man who commands respect and he has that with his fellow masters who occasionally ask him for help in training their submissive women.
Meet Samantha, a submissive whose Dom has fallen in love with her; however, he doesn’t have the control over her has a Dom should have. So he sends her to Charles for training.
Meet Tasha. Beautiful on the outside, ugly on the inside. Charles's sub. She totally adores Charles and when the two of them get together, it's explosive and sizzling. There's something not quite right about Tasha and you just can't put your finger on it. But you have to read the book to find out what that is.
Meet Maria his sex slave. Her job, to serve her master wherever and whenever it's required. Which for highly sexed Charles is quite often. Charles and his entourage frequent the BDSM club quite often to enjoy the delights of each other.
Meet Joy, Charles's neighbour. He has seen her come in and out of the flats, but has never conversed with her except to say a quick hello whilst passing by. A chance encounter in the corridor leads them on a path that they will take together. The instant attraction between them was mutual.
This books takes you through the day to day life of Charles and his ladies. There are little twists and turns that you don't see coming but that just adds more excitement and suspense to the story.
I salute you Ethan Radcliff. This book was well written. Your story flowed along quite nicely on the page and you kept me entranced throughout. Hence, this book was read in one sitting. As I've become an enthusiastic fan of this author, I look forward to reading more of his work. Congratulations! Five well-earned stars.

Hot and Sinfully Delicious

I must say this book left me feeling refreshed with the delights of the BDSM/DOM ways. Ethan's take on Charles was suprisingly refreshing and totally in control without being too egotistical or harsh towards women. Even his SUB and Slave were treated with respect and caring aftercare. His manhood is more than impessive and drool worthy. The sex scenes were page melting and panty incinerating, enough to leave me panting with desire. Tasha is a piece of work that was captured exquisitly with dangerously wicked details. Showing not everyone in life is how you might see them to be. Joy is a breath of fresh air and totally a woman worth everything a man could give. And even while training another SUB, Charles was absolutely as described... a man apart.
This is one hot and sinfully delicious read and look forward to reading more from Mr. Radcliff!

Charles Macavoy was a true Master in the BDSM world, he was asked by a friend to help train his sub. He started to train her & felt a connection but quickly realize that it was a phase and it had stopped. She was sent back to her Dom. But Charles had his own sub to deal with. She had a temper and a past. He wanted at one point to move further into there relationship,but someone changed that. The webs from the past will always be in the present unless you are pardon from Your sins. there are many twist and turns in this book. It is a great read. i would highly recommend the book !

dom
This story to a point was very good with several exceptions regarding safety reasons dealing with SSC. Drinking befor a scene is a no no in BDSM in just about all cases Protection another especially with multiple partners. so I was reluctlent to give more that 4****s for this story. The story itself for what it was was really good and interesting.

Good book
So This book was short. I love that The author is a man. I can’t wait to read more of Mr. Radcliffe’s stories. It really excited me to have a male writing my erotica!

** ARC provided by author in exchange of honest review **
Dom is a new book out by Ethan Radcliff and being a bit of an Ethan Fan and reading all his books I was a bit excited to read this ARC…..
We must say we think this one of Ethan’s best books thus far, it was full of his fantastic sex scenes but also had twists and turn and scenes you didn’t see coming…. We really enjoyed this book we found it a little different from Ethan’s normal story lines this seemed to be packed with a lot, and as always no pissing around at getting to the point…..
In saying that I wish it had have been a full length novel it would have been awesome with more detail and would love the characters to evolve more and a better ending, we sort of find Ethan’s books have great story lines but we would love more and would really love that full length book, we would love him to go into more detail a draw a book out and see how that works out… Maybe we are just greedy and want more but we just feel he has a lot of talent and could go that extra mile…..
Anyways about the book Dom….
Charles Damien Macavoy is a Dom, a Master, a Sir……
He was married for 9 years before he and his wife called it off, he had been single for 5 years.
He is asked by a very good friend of his Jason to train his “sub” she seems to be very disobedient lately and needed training by another Dom to bring her back into check more or less… (I hate this in books it pisses me off that a Dom sends a sub to another Dom for training… I really don’t get that stuff but anyway)
Then we have Tash who is Charles’s sub, (I personally couldn’t stand her from the start) Tash was a hooker and practically saves all her money for plastic surgery and to make herself look good with chemical peels and facials etc… but she knows what she wants and she wants Charles and she wants to be his sub 24/7 and to live with him and no one will stop her and no one will get in her way literally or she will cut you up, until the neighbor next door comes into play does Joy the neighbor change it all or could Maria, Charles’s sex slave change things up…..
The rest you will have to read to find out and it is a good short book and worth the read!!!

So I started reading this book and thought “this is hot, but what in the hell is going on?” It just seemed to take a long time to get going. I personally am a big fan of erotica and BDSM. The act of submitting yourself fully to your master is so hot. I think a lot of erotica is just about the hot and steamy moments and that it steers away from an actual storyline. There are definitely some hot and steamy moments in this story. There is deceit, lust, and love, all of which will keep you intrigued. I think anyone would agree that they want a piece of Master Charles.
Charles Damien Macavoy was asked by a friend to take on a submissive to train. Charles had trained many subs and this task was no different than those of the past. He did find himself attracted to this sub, but the infatuation did not last. The sub returns to her master and life must go on. There is jealousy among the submissive in training and the submissive that Charles is about to claim as his own.
Charles decides to take on a sub to keep him company in his home and be his full time submissive. But what is it about this one? Will she be the one that wins Charles’ heart? How will she affect his decisions as a DOM? Who is the one that must earn the trust and loyalty in a BDSM relationship? Is it the DOM or the sub? You will not believe whose and which skeletons come out of the closet. I totally did not expect the outcome of this book. After the storyline started to pick up, it got good and then ended. This is not a cliffy, but I felt like the outcome totally came out of left field. Maybe there is more to come in another story where the answers of what lies next will arise? I hope there is more of this story or even a second book to come.

I read this book in one day. After reading the summary and looking at the teasers, I was intrigued and hit the one-click button on Amazon.
The book is not how I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be hot, steamy, and racy. For me, it wasn’t. Don’t get me wrong, it was hot just not as hot as I thought it was going to be. I think my expectations were too high. I’m reading this book thinking one thing, and then at 71%, I see that the book is going in a direction I wasn’t expecting. I mean really how do you introduce a new character at 71% and expect me to connect with them. I can’t. The main character, Charles, was okay. I liked that he explained a little more about the BDSM lifestyle, but I didn’t feel as close to him as I would have liked.
I feel like it was rushed toward the end. I really enjoyed the book up until the 71%. After that, it went from a 5 to a 3 instantly.
Thankfully, I was able to look past the rushing and the introduction of a new character to still like the book.
Was it a favorite? No. Do I wish there was more meat to the story? Yes. Would I recommend? Maybe. I’m giving it a 3.5.

This was my first Ethan Radcliff book, so honestly I had no idea what to expect. I enjoy a wide variety of books and the occasional BDSM books. I like em all !
Charles is a very well trained Dom. He has a sub Tasha, as well as a slave. One of his friends asked him to train his wife, which feelings started to develop and she realized she did truly love her husband and only wanted him. Which is a good thing, because Tasha seemed a little off her rocker from the get go and I was worried about ANYONE who crossed paths with that craziness. Charles seemed a little blind, he has heard things from others but hasn’t ever seen “that” side of Tasha.
He decides it might be time to take the next step with Tasha, but just then his quiet neighbor Joy appears outta nowhere. Her day job? A Detective…. Who wants to learn more about BDSM. With Charles interested in Joy, Tasha is out taking care of “business” of her own. Which is a whole lotta crazy!
Things happen super fast in this book. So fast that my head was spinning a little. He is in love with one, then with the turn of a few pages, it seems in no time at all another and then the ball of crazy happens and the book ended. I wish the book was a little longer so things didn’t seemed so rushed. I would’ve liked a little more backstory into it all once the Tasha thing heated up and Joy stepped into the picture. I will certainly read more of his work because I am curious what else he has going on and I am very intrigued! I give this book a 3 of 5 Stars.

I really enjoyed reading my first book by Ethan Radcliff. DOM, A Man Apart is a gripping story about the enigmatic master DOM, Charles Damien Macavoy. Charles is in class of his own. He has spent years becoming a master of BDSM. When his friend has a problem with his sub, Samantha he calls on Charles to help him train her. Charles agrees and sets in motion a story that is hot and sexy.
Charles is not without a sub of his own during this time. He has Tasha, who is an interesting character that is nothing as she seems. In addition to Tasha, Charles also has his sex slave Maria that creates a unique dynamic in general, but with the addition of Samantha makes way for some seriously steamy scenes. DOM is surprisingly full of twists that I didn't expect while reading it, which was one of the parts I really liked about it. There's a lot more to this story, but you'll just have to read it to find out.
Ethan Radcliff delivers a sexy story, no questions about it. While I really did enjoy it, I was left wanting more and thought there could've been some extra detail. He has some really great characters that I wanted to learn more about. More so after some serious events unfolded throughout the story. Despite that, DOM, A Man Apart is a story that you'll want to read. Ethan Radcliff, grabs your attention from the opening page and holds it till the very end. I'm looking forward to reading more from him.

Meet Charles Damian Macavoy, he's a DOM with very particular wants and needs, he's strong, handsome and has a very big sexual appetite as well as a very large.... Well you know where I'm going with that.
Charles thought he was in love once but that all went wrong when she chose the vanilla lifestyle and left him. Since then Charles has trained himself in all aspects of the BDSM world and how to provide the best pleasure/pain mix he has quickly become one of the most sought after DOMS in his circle and the main prize for any sub.
Charles has his hands full with his sub Tasha, Sex Slave Maria and now he has taken on a trainee Samantha to help fellow DOM Jason who has become quite smitten.
But even his quiet but attractive neighbour has also turned his head and left home wanting to explore and it seems there may be more to his exotic beauty Tasha than meets the eye.
Who will win the Sexy DOMS heart and become his live in pet?
This was a great read, it had hot sex, A hot Dom and plenty of excitement to draw you in.
Ethan really knows you to write and this is a must read dark BDSM erotica that will keep the pages turning! Loved it!!!!!

I will be the first to admit I bought this book because of the author. I have purchased and read others by him and have enjoyed them all. But this one, it went an entirely different direction from what I expected. It left me sighing at the erotic romance and a bit overwhelmed at it's conclusion.
Charles is a DOM, a BDSM Master in fact. He exudes strength, confidence and charisma. Men envy him, women want to be with him and this is his story.

I enjoyed reading Dom, a man apart. I was surprised I liked it. I had not read anything by Ethan Radcliff before and I was worried that it begin labeled an erotica and BDMS book, that it would be all sex and no story line. That is not the case. It does have lots of hot sex scenes but it also has a storyline.
Charles is a Dom. He is a very well trained Dom. He has a sub, Tasha, and a he also has a slave. We didn't get much of his slave in the story but we get a lot of Tasha. Tasha is a crazy character. She is able to hide her craziness from most people. Joy is Charles's sexy neighbor. She has information shocking information on Tasha. Joy is a great game changer for Charles. I was a little surprised on what part Joy played in the story. Joy comes into the story towards the end and I wish the story would have lasted longer so we could get more Joy and Charles.

4.8 stars ~ Quirky, fun & entertaining with hot sex on the side.
What's not to love about Charles right? From the first page to the very end I loved him as a man, and a Master. Ethan has such a unique way with words. I could almost see the words dancing around his head as he was writing. Character description and profiles were interesting, especially Tasha. I almost spat my coffee all over my iPad at the first mention of the secrets of her past. The casual mention of it amused the hell out of me and if I wasn't before, I became a fan for life. Sex scenes were sizzling, varied and multiple (in both quantity and partners). Need I say more? This book is freaking hot! I thought I liked predictable, but Dom was full of unexpected twists and went places I hadn't anticipated. I absolutely loved it.

Dom, A Man Apart by Ethan Radcliff is the first book I have read by him. Charles Macavoy is the ultimate Dom. He is very well trained in the BDSM world and looked to as a DOM that can train any submissive. He also prides himself on the fact he can satisfy any woman. Jason is a Dom also that is having trouble with his submissive and calls upon Charles to retrain Samantha for him. Samantha is a great submissive but can be a hand full at times. She really wants to be with Jason but when she meets Charles she thinks differently. Tasha is Charles' current sub and wants to be with him full time no matter the cost. Charles is about to find out that people are not what they seem and love can come from unexpected person when you least expect it. I would recommend this book but only if you like to read about BDSM. This book does contain BDSM scenes! This book is very erotic!

I was gifted this book to read & review. I started off really excited.... But as I started reading it there was ALOT of background & it was a very slow start for me. I wish there was more back story to Tasha & her crimes, and a little less background for Charles even tho the story surrounded Charles to a degree. I got into it about halfway through and the rest of the story made sense once I got that far. The other thing is there were tons and tons of misspelled words, different words that should have been used, a lot of grammar issues & editing issues throughout the entire book. I was correcting the words that weren't spelled right or used right throughout the entire book. Once I did get through all of that I loved the story line towards the end & how it introduces love to someone who thought they would never love again, even throughout the story unfolding.

Won a copy. I have enjoyed each book that I have read by Ethan Radcliff. DOM is a book that will take you on a ride. Ethan Radcliff pulled me in from the start. Charles is a Dom, a Master and he does it very well. The other characters that are with Charles in this book are very different and they all have a plan. Will their plan work? When you read works by Ethan Radcliff you get transported into the world that he describes. Dom gives you hot sexy scenes and twists with a few turns. The characters are well developed and full of life. Do you like a book with deceit, love, charisma and a place to escape? Then Dom is a book that will take you there and make it happen. With each book I read by Ethan Radcliff I find myself wanting to read more of his fabulous work. Thank you Ethan for giving me a chance to escape for a little while as I read from page to page.
