Curvy, half-Egyptian Cleo needs another spanking. Marcus, the commanding man who spanks so well, wants more from her than he's ready to dare. Voices from the ancient past exert a dangerous influence.
Please note: The Submission Island serial is for discerning women and men over 18. It's suited only to readers who want to enter a world of BDSM focused on a woman's pleasure and male dominance.There are many books catering to those who prefer non-stop sex performed by characters with no inner lives and no heart connection. This isn’t one of them. If a character-driven erotic adventure appeals to you, you've reached the right island.
Paradise has teeth
Curvy Cleo's second day on Submission Island offers a chance to explore. But despite the allure of ancient ruins, mysteries, and a choice of kinky pleasures, her body and mind remain preoccupied with Marcus.

He said she could ask for him, but she isn’t sure she should. She wanted a no-risk, no-entanglements vacation. But she’s entangled already—with a hot man who probably wouldn't look at her twice anywhere else in the world.

His big hand grasped my shoulder and turned me to face him. His lips grazed my forehead. “Cleo.” I heard his heart in his voice. Mine stuttered. He enfolded me in his arms. “Cleo.”
I felt so vulnerable, naked against his clothed body. He smelled so good, and he felt strong and protective, like he’d stand against the world for me.

This is the second episode of Submission Island. It features Cleo, a curvy twenty-eight year-old submissive, and Marcus, a wealthy, older dom. It's a complete episode with resolution of the immediate events, and the story continues.

Q. Zayne has been self-publishing on Amazon since 2015. Last year, Zayne separated the curvy & alpha Erotic Romances and put them under Quin Zayne. Erotica, Dark Fantasy, Menage, and most BDSM titles remain under Q.

You can find an increasing number of Q. and Quin books on Smashwords, Google Play, Apple ibooks, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo. A few books are exclusive to Smashwords, thanks to Mark Coker providing a clear, author-friendly policy on sexual content.

The author behind all this dirty-hot wild adventure grew up on comic books, horror, mysteries, fantasy, fairy tales, and a wide range of adult books and magazines.

Descended from a real cowboy, Zayne's alter-ego lived on a defunct range before escaping to San Francisco.

Ok So I didn't realize that this was #2 in the series. I found out about 10% in, and I was like OK, I can read this. However, in most places I knew what was going on, but then it was all over the place. Jumping from what was happening to something in the past with the Egyptians, and back to present day. That was so confusing!!! I really did like Cleo as a character, and what she was capable of, but the book made no sense to me at all.
I really did enjoy Cleo though!

Great continuation

With a twist in the storytelling. I can't wait to find out what happens between Cleo & Marcus. Also, what is it about the ruins? What is up with Isabella, what's her story, the whole story? And the tour guide, what's his story? The characters draw you in & want to learn more.

Longing & Mystery

In this storyline Cleo is exploring both herself and the lovely island she finds herself on. She longs to see Marcus again but feels she shouldnt. Until a chance with Isabelle who tells her to ask Marcus about dreams of a past life. Very intense attraction between Cleo & Marcus.

Second instalment and I can't wait to read the next ...

Loved the setting of the story around the island and looking into the history and then the scene between Cleo and Marcus left me wanting more - like the next book!

Thought this might get dirtier, instead it's more erotic. Cleo returns to the spanking room and Marcus.

Isabella isn't exactly what we think.

We get more inklings of paranormal activity and strange occurrences connected to the ancient ruins. Cleo's guide, Chuck, is questionable.

A wonderful short.

I didn't expect to get caught up in this series as much as I have. I love how much chemistry is between Cleo and Marcus. I would suggest this book to anyone who likes a lot of heat with their romance.

These books are serialized, very short stories. The first one was pretty good. This one has too many thoughts about archeology and not enough about the reason she's on the island. It wasn't worth the time I wasted on it.

Okay

This book was an okay read for me, I guess since I haven't read book one it all didn't flow enough for me. I was having a hard time paying attention.

Hoping to be a little further along in the journey of the series with Book 2. Kept my attention and have started reading 3 as the building up in 2 left me wanting to continue the series.

I really can’t get enough of this island. I’m all for self discovery and going after what you want is worth it experience. Makes me want to live out my own desires too.

Great read. Only draw back is that it’s too short. Love the characters, and I know the storyline will end up fantastic but I kinda want to know ASAP!!!

18+ Actual part 2, not just a teaser. Cleo and Marcus continue to have their spanking games, pushing her comfort level.
