Finding Bliss

Trial of Submission #3

by Natalie Wish

A promise leads the four adventurers to help a trapped soul of a suspicious mage. But destroying a powerful magical object is a task wrought with challenges and danger. Will they be able to do it? And will they find their own bliss?

Xanran and his lovers will tangle with a powerful curse, a den of vipers known as Imperial High Court and… tentacles. Fortunately, the last one will be not only business, but pleasure as well.

★ Finding Bliss continues the Trial of Submission series and uncovers even more secrets, while keeping the heat level high. You can expect BDSM exploration, dominance and submission, and four people in a deep and sizzling hot relationship. And tentacles. Did I mention tentacles?

Longer than the others, this one was a bit stop and start. I did get bored in places and thought about calling it quits. The love and care continued to show through with the guys, made a lot clearer with the Vit and Weix situation. Rodner is a much better choice for him. Breaking a dungeon via sex magic gathering.

Thank you for the ARC read, I voluntarily give this book an honest review.
The master of the dungeon Vitorous is not only stealing the corpse of the devious elf that betrayed the rules but is demanding the return of his old remains from the Crimson Westlands are they about to unleash more then they bargained for? As the new task takes place Weix is left with Vitorous, after 200 years has the man learned anything new or is he still his old self? Between the new trials to free the dungeon master, A twist in plans, when past meets present. From the past of the prince and his guard to an unsuspecting Mexi. An old flame is even come back on the scene, Will Rodner about to change their fate more? With this new development will it ruin these lovers new family bound? The more you read of these characters the more you love them, after all with Xanran humorous attitude and Mexi more adventurous side they are bring a balance between the Saainren and Rogan more guarded side. Oh a wonderful turn of invents, with all the new forms of play in and out of the dungeon. Loved it kitty/pup type of play for the dragon and guard. Where will the group lead us next time..

Absolutely loved that story! This book contains all what you can desire: it has action, fun and love. From sweet devouring love to steaming hot scenes, and a lot of those! Around that, the storyline is full and entertaining, it takes you with the four main characters on a journey through a paranormal world of magic and lots of adventures.
For me it was sometimes a bit difficult to get the whole circumstances and reasons what happens because I started right with the third book out of a series and missed the previous two books. But I will for sure catch up with them!
I still want to give full 5 stars for a wonderful and refreshingly written story full of pleasure and thrill with a good pinch of fun, as I could still slip into the characters' skins and follow them like watching a movie. Definitely not boring, and I am now impatiently awaiting the next book.
I received this book for free but leave a review freely and voluntarily because I really enjoyed reading it.

3.7 Stars
Blithe adventure questing

Lot of action and adventure with a magical questing group of lovers. This starts in the middle of some revelation, clearly continuing directly from the end of the previous book. From that and a lot of details that are just belated or missing, i suggest not jumping into the middle of this series; only pick this up after you've read the previous books because the author doesn't slow down or backtrack AT ALL!

All gay guys sleeping together, including such fantasy tropes as a dragon, elf, paladin, and a prince in hiding. Magic, evil trees, imperial armies, orgies (and a sex-powered dungeon), and humor abound.

I loved Finding Bliss by Natalie Wish. It's the third book in the Trial of Submission and is not a standalone book. You must read the other books in the series first, or you will be lost. The author continues from where the last book ends and does not backtrack. In this book, the four friends, lovers, and heroes continue their quest to free Vitorous. The mage sends them to the Crimson Wastelands to retrieve his remains. Along the way, the four mates have lots of hot erotic MMMM sex with BDSM elements.
I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

I was sent a copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review
Book 3 of the adventures of Xanran, Saainren, Mexi and Rogan as they continue to help Vitorous. Weix becomes a valuable addition to the group as they continue to work through the challenges put to them by Vitorous.
The storyline centering around a BDSM Dungeon is brilliantly written and I recommend this book - in fact the whole series as they need to be read in order to get the best idea understanding of what the guys are going through.

[Juniper]

The adventures continue ins this installment of the Trial of Submission series (if you haven’t read the previous installments, definitely check them out first!) This time, there’s a curse involved. Also plenty of steam, a fair amount of humor, and the delightfully well-balanced relationship between Xanran and his lovers, which continues to deepen with each new book.

Our four heroes/friends/lovers continue on their journey to free Vitorous. The wily mage sends them on another journey, this time to recover his remains. The four adventurers must travel to the Crimson Westlands, the site of a magical apocalypse. More adventure, more danger, more sensual escapades. If you like your adventure combined with hot love and bdsm, this is one you should look at.

This series is just amazing. No shortage of steam, steam, steam, love, action, and entertaining. All four characters intertwine realistically as they continue their journey through a magical, paranormal world.
As this is an ongoing series of books, I do no recommend reading at random. Start with the first and progress from there, if you can. Better enjoyed as a whole.

Let me start by saying, I’ve enjoyed all 3.5 books in this series thus far. My problem isn’t with the stories themselves—they have imagination, heat and heart—but with the malapropisms. Examples: rouse vs ruse, delights vs daylights, messaging vs massaging, renewed vs renowned, ally vs alley, tested vs tasted, feel vs fell, steel vs steal...I could go on and on. I found them, and a multitude of grammatical and tense errors, hopelessly distracting. Did no one proofread these books?

[Kassandra Knight]

Another good addition to the series, can’t wait to read the next one.
Highly recommend but should be read in order.
I received an arc and this is my honest review.

[Nicole Fay]

DNFd half way through, it had potential but just wasn’t there.

[Chrishelle Yates]

This one made up for everything book two wasn't. But I am a little worried we won't have a real conclusion for our main couple.

[Janessa Paun]

Hot. There’s like a very substantial plot in this one.
