This is a set you do not want to miss if you enjoy BDSM presented in a relevant and genuine manner.
Accidental Submission
Claire Thompson delivered a romantic, engaging and sexy tale. I loved the way the relationship developed between the main characters. There was plenty of spice to heat up the reader along the way. I found myself completely immersed in the experience. The story pulls you in and takes you on a hot, wild journey. Well done Claire!!!

Submission in Paradise
This is an intriguing book because Claire was a complete newbie to BDSM and Ayden was deeply immersed in the scene. I love the detailing of the scenes which allowed me to feel as though I were there myself. This book is just simply delicious. It was sexy and passionate with sweet tender moments. Thank you for another wonderful erotic adventure, Ms. Thompson.

Master of Submission
A great story. I really enjoyed following the journey taken by both Jonathan and Laurel. These two characters were perfect for each other and played off each other brilliantly. It was sexy and passionate with sweet tender moments yet there was plenty of spice to heat up the reader along the way.

48-hour Submission
At first, I wasn’t sure I would like this story. BDSM is supposed to be consensual. A sub agreeing to this type of relationship even for 48 hours for the reasons Zoe did, was just not acceptable. But then the story continued and the intent changed. I actually ended up enjoying this story. The story is so well written you just can’t help being pulled into their story. Ms. Thompson is a storyteller of the highest echelon.

Heart of Submission
If only every sub could find her Chase. Oh my gosh, my heart be still. I just loved his approach, attitude, and self-awareness. Kate’s mistake was not listening to her instincts. As usual, Ms. Thompson does an excellent job of making her characters real and the BDSM understandable and authentic. I love her stories because they make the reader feel like they are right there experiencing the action. She has a way of writing that makes everything dynamic and relevant within that world.

If you like BDSM novels do not miss this set. It is fabulous.

Claire Thompson gives you a beautiful boxet of Erotic Awakenings… Five (5)stories that are detailed in information, detailed in it’s sexual content and overpowering in love’s journey all while practicing the skilled lifestyle of BDSM - a journey of sexual discovery into a world, a lifestyle that for many don’t understand or they are completely unaware of their desires. In the capable hands of the right Dominant, of someone who will work teach and guide - new awakenings are explored and discovered. They will teach their loved ones that being a submissive isn’t a choice, at their very core - it will become their life and love.

My thoughts and impressions of ACCIDENTAL SUBMISSION (Bk 1):
Right from the start, Claire Thompson thrusts you straight into the mindset of a man hellbent on destroying a work colleague. Her only sin - she got the promotion he felt was owed him. His misogynistic tendencies are warped, filled with awful games. His desperation calls for desperate measures and he will go to great lengths to discredit and humiliate Elizabeth showing her no mercy.

Fortunately, the very person she is “sold” to will become so much more and in ways than she ever could have imagined. He will pique her curiosity, teach her to let go of her control she holds on to tightly and hopefully find the submissive he see’s inside of her. Despite frustrations and struggles they will both learn how exciting their journey becomes.

Accidental Submission is Book 1 - Claire gives you a beautifully and sexually descriptive and detailed content. Honest, refreshing and very knowledgable. Safe and Consensual for those characters that truly care, practice and teach! There will be moments of darkness and frustrations, yet always handled with care. Accidental Submission is Elizabeth’s submissive awakening. Take that journey with her and Cole, you will find yourself turning these pages wanting to see where he takes her.

*Will update each book review as each book is completed.

Working my way through the box set.

Started with HEART OF SUBMISSION

I was completely blown away by this story! Kate longs to explore her submissive side. When she is told her next book will have BDSM elements in it, she relishes the opportunity to do some research. Her trust is betrayed, and at this point, I had to stop reading and take a breather. Ms Thompson described the events so well, I could feel the woman's fear (not the pain, though. Ouch!). The tale continues with Kate still yearning to explore this side of herself, and learning to trust with the help of Chase, a rope expert Dom. But Chase has his own healing to do. I loved reading about how two strong, yet vulnerable people share their journey together and come out the other side. Excellent, well-written story.

Steamy & informative

This box set had very steamy, hot, highly arousing scenes. It went into a lot details about proper etiquette, how to do it right, some things that are a very strict difference between bdsm & abuse that are must knows for newbies so new subs can understand & hopefully don't have to go through a pretend Dom abusers abuse. It tells how it's supposed to be between Dom & Sub & how intense & hot it is. Highly recommend!

Well written as always but far too much coercion, too much pushing the limits and pace, all good stories but no one should ever be talked into the "scene" no matter their subconscious desires and that happens here too often. 48 hours for total immersion? Fake doms being banned not prosecuted. For me that’s a bridge too far, though there were many elements I liked, others offset those, so three stars despite the outstanding writing and overall storylines.

Claire is an incredible writer and is extremely knowledgeable in her subject. She consistently "teaches" as she writes and helps the reader understand about BDSM. Even if it isn't your cup of tea, you still get an understanding of why it is for someone else. The feelings, the emotions, the reasoning behind it is shared brilliantly. This set is a great example.

A five book series of erotic romance stories that will warm your heart. If you like BDSM stories, you'll love this collection. Variety is the spice of life they say and lots of variety in this collection. Well written with great characters and captivating storylines. I read an advance copy and voluntarily chose to write a review.

My oh my! Some of the Dominants she writes are a fantasy come to the page!
These are well written, honest portrayals of a variety of BDSM scenarios.

And they are steamy! If you fantasize about a Dom taking control so you can enjoy, these are the books for you.
I just wish they weren't short stories! I read through them so quickly just wanting more.
Happy Reading!

This is a no brainer. All the best BDSM books in one? These stories keep you up and company all night long. They make you long for submission and an amazing Dom. These are truly the best stories I have read and I read a lot. I have enjoyed all of them and each one only gets better.

Passionate stories of love in a D/s relationship

The characters were so real and the storyline’s exciting. The way the relationships developed through an exploration of BDSM and D/s was beautiful.

This bundle provides a varied view into the BDSM lifestyle, particularly for those encountering it for the first time. Some of the passages are hard to take but on the whole the writing is to a good standard and the characters are believable.
