The Rewards of Letting Go

Rate this book
Meredith has never considered herself submissive even though her greatest fantasy is being pleasured against her will. When Mark orders her to her knees the first time, she can’t get there fast enough—and then hates herself afterward for losing control. Although Mark gives her more satisfaction than she has ever dreamed, she can’t say those three little words—I am yours—to the Dom who’s taken her places no man has ever taken her before. Mark knows Meredith’s body yearns for his control—it’s her head that keeps getting in the way. When he gives Meredith an unforgettable adventure on a train, will she finally embrace her inner sub and learn the rewards of letting go?

Damn, L.E., I don't know how you do that! Get me all fanning myself in that short amount of time! Seriously!

In 31 pages, L.E. provided a glimpse into the beautiful dynamics between Meredith and Mark. In 31 pages, I understood Mer’s inner turmoil. In 31 pages, I bought Mark’s dominance. In 31 pages, I’m feeling all hot and bothered.

Considering this is such a short story, I immediately felt connected to the characters. I especially can follow Mer’s thought process; ideas and ideologies inculcated by the women before our generation and by society in general. And while I saw Mark thru Mer’s eyes only, I totally get Mer’s feelings about him.

If you’re looking for a tightly written short story with lotsa hawtness, this is it. If this is what L.E. can do with a short story, who knows how much more she can do with a full length one. Bring it, L.E.!:D

Damn L.E. This one is my favorite! A Hot little erotic tale about trusting, giving yourself over and letting go.
A stream of beautifully written words capture your attention quickly and racy romps have the sizzle gauge set to blazing!

You wouldn't think a short story allows you to relate to the characters or for much of a story-line to be present.
L.E. proves it can be done. Flawlessly wrapped up with a nice little bow and little heat factor to boot.

If you are in the mood for a quick read, and you like erotica, this is for you! LE has written a few of these little novellas and they are all amazing! This one is a very hot and short book with interesting characters. I got a little lost in their world and became fully invested in their story. Fun to read!!

Awesome read from an Amazing author.

I pounced on this the moment it hit my kindle because I knew I would love it. How did I know? Because no one writes better than L.e. Chamberlin.

"We want the same thing," he whispers against my parted lips. "Your pleasure. Let me give it to you. Trust me."

Her writing style has an effortless elegance that just leaves me in awe. If you're looking for a sexy short that will steam up your kindle and leave you breathless this is it.

A definite MUST READ.

This is a short story, but it packs a punch! L.E. Chamberlin has a unique way of writing a descriptive and thorough short story. This is a hot and steamy story of a woman who finally gives in to the pleasure of submitting all the way. I love the slow and methotical way Mark primes Meredith for pure pleasure, it is decadent and delicious and makes me want to get on a train like yesterday! Really loved this story and can't wait for more from this uniquely talented author!

Smoking Hot Read!

The Rewards of Letting Go was the second book I have read by L. E. Chamberlin. It did not disappoint! In fact, it was even better! It was a short story, but delivered characters that I could relate to. L. E. grabbed me from the very first paragraph and kept me engaged to the point I could not put the story down until I finished it. And it was erotic and hot. Not just your normal hot. It was SMOKING HOT!!!! Fantastic job L.E.!!!

Grab this one for a quick, hot, sexy read with a fabulously strong female that is fighting the submission Mark requires. Meredith loves when she submits to Mark in their Dom/sub relationship but she also fights this need in her head. She feels it goes against her career driven, strong female persona. I loved how connected I felt to Meredith’s struggle and the beauty of her true submission.
