Power #3
Dominate
Forest is absent-minded, oblivious, and so adorable, Dominant Quarry Light can’t help but to fall for him.
Quarry Light grew up tough— with a name like his, he didn’t have any other choice. Being a Dom came naturally to him, so when he got the chance to co-own a BDSM club with his friends, he leaped on the opportunity. If he thought he’d be able to find his soulmate sub easier, well, that was a side benefit.
The only problem is, that benefit had never appeared and after having his heart and hopes crushed twice, Quar has decided he'll stick to just scening with a sub now and then.
Fate has other things in mind, namely in the form of one Forest Tilden.
Forest is absent-minded, oblivious and so adorable, Quar can't help but ask for his number after he stops to help the poor guy. Forest’s car picked the right day to bite it. He’s going to get more than a little mechanical advice from Quar. Together, they might get the future they both long for.

I am a married mom of four who spends most of the day writing, either on stories or at the blog. I love to write as much as I love to read. I am generally quiet and laid back, choosing to let things slide off me rather than stick and irritate me.
And it's really hard trying to think of descriptives for myself, so I'll just let y'all e-mail me or comment at the blog if there's something specific you'd like to know, and spare you from reading a boring bio:D

Quar and Forest
For the first time in his life Forest enters a BDSM club. Shy and trying to be invisible he watches his surroundings. A rude unpleasant Dom speaks to him and he freezes. Fortunately the owner of the club Dom Quar steps in and dismissed the rude Dom.
Quar noticed Forest even before he had entered the club and was very charming by this view.
Forest wants nothing more than Quar to take care of him. Quar had some bad experiences in the past. He wants to give both of them some time for reflection, even Forest seems to be just perfect.
A lovely D/s read with a good subject and plot. Both Quar and Forest were well described.
It was good written and for my pleasure the story could be much longer.
I just love a good BDSM read and this was one of them
Kindly received an arc from the publisher

This is the third book in the series, and whilst the stories follow on from each other, they have different leads, so you could read this as a stand alone. It is short, engaging and raises some interesting issues about the perceptions of BDSM, and BDSM clubs.
Quar is a Dom, but really not hard core. He tempers his need to dominate with a soft heart, and has a tendency to jump straight in and regret it afterwards. So when he meets Forest, a newbie member, he tries to take it slow. As they negotiate their way around their needs, and clear desires, there is the beginning of a beautiful relationship coming to fruition.
I liked the slant on the D/s relationship that this takes, and how the JD situation was dealt with by the club. This book fits well in the series.

Dominate (Power #3) by Bailey Bradford
4 stars
M/M BDSM Romance
I was given this book for an honest review by Wicked Reads.
Quarry and Forest are a good couple. Quarry has a tendency, despite his Dom persuasiveness to jump in to relationship and he wants to make more cautious decision about his next sub. He's had his heart broken a few times and he knows he's wanting to try and avoid that feeling again. When he sees a new sub being accosted by a Dom in the club whom Quarry doesn't have too much respect for, Quarry comes to his aid.
Forest is unsure of what to expect when he walks in to the BDSM club. When he looks around he knows that in his soul, he'll find peace here. When Quarry comes to his rescue, he can't help but be drawn to him. Everything in his soul tells him that Quarry will be the one who can fulfill his fantasy.
This is a quick read and the relationship isn't able to develop too much, but it was enjoyable and well thought out.

Dominate is a short, fast and entertaining story. For me, Quar and Forest show the comfort, security and sweetness that BDSM has to offer. I really liked that Forest had the confidence to ask for what he wanted even though he is inexperienced. Stories like Dominate are why I find M/M BDSM so comforting to read.

This is the third book in this series and my least favorite. I didn't feel any connection to Quarry or Forest until the epilogue. The book was more like a Q and A session, which is fine but it didn't help the read make a connection or want to know more about Quar or Forest. We saw previous couples for the first two books which was nice. There was drama but not with the MC's directly. This one just missed the mark for me. I will have to say the scene in the epilogue was hot though.

I am really liking this whole Power series by Bailey Bradford! Dominate Me is book three in the series, but every book can be read as a standalone. They are all quick reads and a whole lot of fun to dive into!
Quar is part owner of a BDSM club and takes an occasional sub here and there. He's been burned a couple of times so to say is leery is putting it mildly. One day he meets Forest and life as he knows it is gone.
Forest is interested in the BDSM scene, but he hasn't experienced a club. He's done his research and decides it's time to check one out. When he arrives, his nerves take over and he plans to bolt-only his car didn't agree. I guess that's a sign he needs to stay and check it out.
Then he meets Quar. The stars align and everything is right in the universe! Quar is interested and takes him under his wing after showing him around the club.
Like I said, these are all very entertaining and yummy reads! The thing that I think draws me, is each of these men are normal, everyday joes. The working folk so to speak. That makes them relatable and their struggles are understandable. They are normal like you and me. Quar and Forest clicked and you could feel their chemistry. Plus it's always nice to see cameos of characters from past books!
I can't wait for the next installment! Keep 'em coming!!

Short, Quick read. Enjoyable to read, no hard thinking required.

Out of the three books in this series this one is my favorite
January 11, 2018
I was so glad that Quar got his story. He was always in the back of my mind while reading Submit. Forest is new to BDSM, but he thinks he's a sub. After a rude Dom approaches Forest, Quar comes to his rescue. After their trial scene, Forest knows he wants Quar. Quar wants him too, but he's hesitant since he's rushed previous relationships.
I've enjoyed all of the stories in this series, but I think this one is my favorite. I'm glad there's going to be at least one more. I can't wait for the next one!

An Interesting twist to this one. I liked it. Actually, there was more than one interesting twist. Made for a good, if fast, read.
