Sydney Moore is an astute business woman. She’s driven, caring, and helpful. She’s also demanding, powerful, and domineering. She takes what she wants. She owns the day! Sydney is a Domme that trains couples to let their true nature flourish with the ways of BDSM, and to rediscover the joy in their relationship. She works tirelessly alongside couple after couple, with barely a thought to her own happiness and desires.
Her older sister, Katie, though naive and less worldly does possess something Sydney is a family of her own! Sydney wants her own child, with a willing, obedient man. She is looking for love, but love doesn’t always come along when we’re looking. Sometimes love comes in surprising ways, and from those we least expect. Will Sydney ever find the love she craves so deeply, or will she be forever rekindling others’ love while her heart yearns for more?
I’m Tom Speed, a writer and bondage enthusiast. I write stories about erotic romance, BDSM, romance, paranormal and branching out to more genres. I've been into bondage for as long as I can remember. It became a passion over the years, as I learned that it's not just a desire, but a lifestyle. When I was younger, I felt shame and doubts about my desires. When I discovered so many others on the internet interested in the same things as me, I was finally comforted and felt as if I could finally be free to be who I was. Over time, I began to write short stories to express my passion and have moved to books. I'm writing my first series, four books about bondage (BDSM). This series will show how everyday folks tackle the day-to-day while feeding their desires. I know what it’s like to hide that part of myself from my closest friends and family. I hope my books will be entertaining, enlightening, and provide encouragement to those with the same passion. Come join the journey and read about your desires, or delve into some new ones. *Adult books, 18+*
This story is from Katie's sister Sydney's perspective and is everything I hoped it would be. Showing how Domme/sub relationships are different, yet all have the same element. It is truly a symbiotic relationship. Sydney shows that, despite her Domme side she remains lovely without a dedicated sub, even almost jealous of her clients that she helps harness their role in the lifestyle. Sydney is a good mentor and teacher, but lacks something in her own life. I look forward to seeing if she will ever find her submissive and ultimately her happiness. Bravo!
Rekindled Love: Flames of Submission book 3 by Tom Speed I’m at a loss of words and I have mixed feelings about this book. Tom’s writing style is outstanding with the realistic view of a BDSM relationship so it isn’t that. To be honest I just don’t like the Sydney character. For someone who is so domineering and successful to be this broken is bothersome to me. She knows how to help her clients yet she doesn’t seem to appear she know what she wants herself. My assessment of Sydney doesn’t deter me from reading or enjoying this book and giving a five-star review. What do we know about Sydney when we start this journey with her? She has a successful business, strong, independent and a Dominatrix. She helps her clients understand what they are missing from their relationships and how to grow stronger. Sydney is very lonely and has one unattached sub that she plays with on a semi-regular basis. As we move through the chapters we see Sydney become more depressed and out of control. Will she find what she is looking for? Also in this installment, we get to follow Jon and Becky journey. John is a fireman and Becky is a lawyer. The marriage is heading in the wrong direction. We get to watch the transformation of their relationship as they work with Sydney. I most definitely didn’t care for Becky’s methods or demands. Although I suppose each couple have their own needs it was difficult to see a man that is a leader being talked to and treated in such a manner. Not going any deeper there. As for the ending of this book I must say that it left me hanging. Again, it ended in a good spot but none of my questions got answered. There are many loose ends such as will Sydney find happiness; what will happen to Jon and will we get the see what happens with Katie and Mike? There has been so much going on its driving me crazy to still be in limbo. I sincerely hope I’m put out of my misery soon. For those of you who follow my reviews I highly recommend this series (and book3) even though I didn’t like the characters. I don’t need to love/like the characters to like a book. If you are new to Tom’s work I strongly suggest you read the entire series. Trust me you will not be disappointed.
This next book in the series took me by surprise. I've been curious to see what this book would be like. Sydney was interesting as a BDSM marriage counselor, but she yearns to have what her sister Katie has. Katie is moving on with her life, but I wasn't a huge fan of the part she played in this book. I liked Sydney in some instances, but in others, I really didn't like her at all. I liked Jon and Becky, and I wasn't sure which direction their story would go in. In the end, I liked them very much. The continued exploration of couples navigating the ins and outs of a BDSM relationship was interesting.
Incredible third book focusing on marriage counselor focusing on bdsm training. We get to see why she is so successful. Trust is most important. Once trust is lost you may never get it back. Watching Syndney work was amazing. HOT SEX..Tom Speed is a new writer. He knows how to write! I really enjoyed how she does this at her playroom. Not all at a club. Seems more professional to me. Having sessions with her clients and their training.
Rekindled Love is the Third Book by Tom Speed. This book focuses on sister Sydney. She’s a marriage counselor focusing on bdsm. We get to see why she is so successful. Watching Sydney work was amazing! HOT SEX!! TRUST IS MOST IMPORTANT. Tom Speed is a brand new author who really knows what he’s writing about. Not taking place in a bdsm Club was a nice change and really suits Sydney and her being g a marriage counselor. *I am voluntarily reviewing an arc.
I loved this story and I really liked getting to know the training that’s involved with teaching a new sub especially when it involves a hot Fireman 🔥🔥🔥 I was sad to see it end and I can’t wait till the next installment comes out hopefully Sydney gets her happily ever after !!
I started with this as my first read. I now must go back and read the series in order. The characters chemistry is off the charts. Fantastic story line as well. Looking forward to reading more from Tom.
This book is a steamy book that will have you loving this series. This book will have you hooked from the first page. This series is a must read. This series will blow your panties off.
This is a great series on Domme/sub and they differ from Dom/sub but are the same. Tom Speed did an excellent job in writing this series. It is amazing that both sisters do not know about the others life style. I did enjoy learning about the training to be a sub. I am not in this lifestyle but I love learning and reading about it and does make me want to be in it. The love between a Dom and his sub is so heart warming and wonderful. The writers show the feeling and you can feel them when reading. Enjoy the series.
This is the third book of Tom's I have read and they keep getting better and better. This story leads you through the life of Jon and Becky- a married couple that needs help. Sydney is a special kind of counselor that helps married couples. This is a detailed book but it still tells a story to keep you interested. If you want a good read about BDSM this is one I highly recommend.
In this book we meet & learn more about different characters, John & Becky but also it follows Sydney progression as a Domme & finding out what she really wants put a of life will she get a sub of her own & find her happy ending. As she is helping others with their lives she gets jealous at times though still remains sweet & willing to help anyone. I really enjoyed reading it from the mans point of view regarding his submission. As there does not seemed to be alot of books withnthe mans perspective & it made for a highly enjoyable read. Tom has poured himself into this book which makes for a great read.
