Gentry’s #Doms

Recovery Road #2

by Jennifer Cody

Gentry:

The only thing I’ve ever wanted in life was to serve others. I know myself; I’ve read every self-help book on personal growth I could stomach. My main love language is acts of service. I like helping others. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be subservient; I’m not weak because I prefer to let someone else take charge. I’m not weak. Except, I am. I’m an addict and I’ve hit rock bottom. All I want is someone to take control and help me stop hurting myself.

Jericho:

Contentment in life might be the most underrated ideal. Happiness is great, but only comes in fleeting moments: a quick smile on your face and laugh in your heart. Contentment is long term and sustainable. It’s habits that make sense and personal growth that keeps you on an even keel. I love my life; I’ve found contentment with a good job, good dog, and good friends. At least that’s true until this little slip of a man who wears skirts and responds better to commands than questions comes into my life with a bang. I didn’t even know I needed him, but I know I’m not enough for him.

Salem:

After a decade on the ice, drilling for oil on the northern slope of Alaska and traveling the world in search of adventure and some kind of life, it’s my twin, living in our hometown, who finds the future I’m looking for. I ran to Alaska because kids do dumb shit; I ran to the Slope because Alaska wasn’t far enough to escape myself. I’ve grown up since then, discovered who I am, and now I’m about to run home, because I won’t be the one to stand in the way of my dreams coming true..

About the author

Jennifer Cody lives in Small Midwestern Town, USA, aka the sticks of Kansas. She has three kids and a Beardo she loves. Her sleep schedule is weird, so messages sent at midnight usually get answered relatively promptly. She reads all kinds of mm romance and urban fantasy, but her favorites are gay-for-you, small-town romances and over the top urban fantasy romances. Her own writing doesn’t always reflect her reading preferences, but mostly it does. She writes what she wants to read and reads extensively because she’s an addict. To books, obviously. And caffeine because sleep is for other people.

ARC received for an honest review.

Gentry is a sub that has been abused from previous doms before. He is spiraling and has made a very bad decision. Now he's in therapy and trying to get his life back on track.

Jericho owns a hardware store and is a hetero as far as he knows. When Gentry comes into his store to buy something he's instantly attracted and he stops to reevaluate his sexuality.

When Gentry needs help with something Jericho offers his help and even though it's a very intimate thing, Jericho doesn't even waffle. Jericho wants to get to know and date Gentry. When he finds out Gentry's a sub, Jericho calls his twin brother Salem for help. Salem is a dom and he offers to help Jericho learn the ropes so he can have a relationship with Gentry. After one of their phone calls Jericho shows Salem a picture of Gentry and Salem is instantly smitten. He now wants in as a dom to Gentry as well. While everyone is working out their places, there's a stalker after Gentry. Will everyone be able to keep Gentry safe and how will this affect his new relationships.

I will state now that I don't know the ends and outs of BDSM or D/s relationships so I don't know if what the author has written in that regard is true to relationships, so I won't grade down for that.

I really liked Jericho and Gentry together. Jericho changed a lot about himself to be what Gentry needed but was still able to be comfortable with himself. I felt like Salem being added to the relationship was abrupt and didn't feel authentic. I didn't feel like there was relationship building between Salem and Gentry like there was between Jericho and Gentry. The long drawn out conversations about the D/s lifestyle and why certain things were happening the way they were was tiring IMO. I started skimming them about 2/3 through the book. I liked the stalking part (even though it had been done in Forrest's #Win) but the ending was abrupt and wrapped up too fast. There was very little information given once the stalker was uncovered. I did like this book (I just didn't love it) and I think anyone who likes BDSM with D/s will like it too.

This just isn't working for me. Jericho is too perfect. He's treating Gentry with kid gloves and I just don't find it believable for someone who has a) never dated a guy and b) is brand new to BDSM. I stopped reading at their first date. Jericho took Gentry out to dinner and had, in advance, arranged for restaurant to just have one chair at the table so that Gentry would have to sit on his lap. WTF? The very first date? I can't.

[Lily · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book, like the first in the series, deals with some heavy topics. Now, 90% of it is sweet, and deals with Gentry’s recovery and self development. The trigger warnings are mostly from the epilogue, which could absolutely be skipped if that kind of thing bothers you as a reader.

Gentry is so sweet, and lost. His inner pain manifests in self harm as well as putting himself in harmful situations.

Jericho is a hardware store owner who’s satisfied with his life, until he meets Gentry in the most awkward meet-cute ever.

Salem, Jericho’s twin, comes in a bit later. He’s an experienced Dom and tries to guide Jericho as best he can from a distance, but soon realizes he needs to be there in person for them both.

The development of the relationship between Salem and Gentry is faster than his relationship with Jericho, which I believe is mostly due to the nature of BDSM relationships in general. At least that seems to be a common thread in most BDSM books that I have read.

This author has an uncanny way of writing realistic and imperfect characters who don’t miraculously get better just because they’ve found their perfect partner, or partners in this case.

To be clear, there is no sexual relationship between the twins in this book. Gentry is always between them.

Overall, I loved this story and the realistic challenges they face as a team. The support that comes from each partner is beautiful!

Heat: 7/10 (lots of sexy naked times but written in a way that develops the story)
Tissues: 3/10 (there are some difficult parts that might choke you up)
Storyline 8/10 (well developed. I love that the conflict comes from outside the relationship and not hesitation on the part of the main characters)
BDSM: 9/10 (well developed and very believable)
Overall: 10/10 (highly recommended)

Book #2 in the Recovery Road series is easily my favorite. I loved Gentry so much. The things he’d been through were tough to read or think about. However, the way he freely talked about it and dealt with his trauma and relapses was so freaking brave. He deserved to be cherished and treasured. I felt like Jericho was a good match for him. It was good to see Blake and Forrest again. The way they loved/protected Gentry was how I felt.

I struggled with how Salem was added to the relationship. We watched Jericho and Gentry fall in love. We were invested in them. That was missing for Gentry and Salem. All of a sudden we had a conversation where Gentry and Salem were talking about forming a triad and it was strange. I feel like if we’d had more scenes building them up as a potential couple, it wouldn’t have felt so jarring. Salem mentioned that he would step back if Jericho didn’t want him as a part of the relationship. But how would that be possible when your twin has admitted to wanting to be in a relationship with your boyfriend? Again, I needed more buildup to make adding Salem to the throuple believable.

I also did not like the stalker plot. I would rather have seen more Salem/Gentry scenes than deal with more trauma for Gentry. He’d already been through enough.

Even with the issues, I still loved the book.

I didn’t like how Salem admitted that he’d been in love with Jericho all the time. It felt like poor Gentry was simply a means for Salem to get closer to his brother. It made me hurt for Gentry who deserved everything. It also soured my happiness with the ending of the original story. I almost wish I hadn’t read it.

A Dom, a sub, and a twin.
Gentry's #Doms is book two in the recovery road series, Forest n Blake from book one pop up as supporting characters, so maybe it would be best to read book 1 first, but it can be read without any knowledge of the first book.
The main characters are Gentry and Jericho, theres a prologue that tells about Gentry incident and comes with a warning, you can skip it if it is too much, Gentry himself would love a full time D/s relationship, but he is also his own worst enemy as he will self harm to cope and he's now in therapy, the prologue leaves him wearing a coc* cage and him blacking out and chapter one starts with him waking up in bed wearing a different chastity device. He meets Jericho when he goes to the hardware shop to get metal pliers to snip the padlock off, with Jericho's help. Leaves some items behind and Jericho returns them. From there we get to go along with the story as we read, we see how the characters develop, their loves, their hates, how the past and bad choices affects them, discussions of boundaries,dating, learning things about themselves,kinks and fetishism, Jericho learning that he might like guys too, and finding out his twin brother Salem is in the BDSM lifestyle, and then they add one more to their relationship. Working through their problems.
The characters are well thought out, each persons personality is different and the story very compelling. I enjoyed the book and would recommend.

[Danny S · Rating 3 out of 5]

It got too repetitive with the way the characters were talking about the others. I finished reading it by skimming over it. For them to be referred to as my Dom or my Subs just didn't work.

[JM · Rating 2 out of 5]

The premise was okay and the characters were good enough, but the dialogue was so stiff and jarring that it was difficult to read. The conversations were terribly formal and repetitive. I get that the book was more of a primer on the dom/sub relationship, but characters repeating and parroting back the exact same bit time after time really took away from the story.

[Ellebeez · Rating 2 out of 5]

There needs to be way more trigger warnings on this book. The only warnings the author provides is self harm, dubious consent, stalking, and off page abuse.





There’s pet play, age play, humiliation,and a lot of the twin based stuff kinda leans almost incesty. The final scene is a DP scene with the twins and Gentry. I literally noped out at 99% but I should have way earlier.

Jericho Roberson, Jerusalem “Salem” Roberson, and Gentry Hill.

Jericho and Salem are identical twins. Jericho is older. Salem is more dominant. Jericho is more grounded and stable. Salem is more spontaneous. Jericho is furry, beard and body hair. Salem is clean shaven, face and body.

Jericho has only dated women in the past. Salem is gay. Jericho has always been vanilla. Salem is a trained Dom, though circumstances have him only playing occasionally. Jericho lives in Texas running a hardware store. Salem works oil rigs in Alaska.

Gentry Hill, who we met in Forrest's #Win is a 24/7 lifestyle sub, currently in need of a Dom. He’s working as a live in nanny for Forrest and Blake Danielson, who are married and in a D/s relationship. (Blake being dominant.)

Gentry has had quite a few bad experience with past Doms (and Dommes). He has PTSD and a tendency to self-harm. That’s how he ended up with the Danielsons. His Domme broke up with him and fired him from the bookstore where he worked, leaving him homeless and penniless.

The Danielsons only requirement of Gentry was that he go to therapy. As a couple, they had extensive experience with therapy in the aftermath of Forrest being raped by a random hookup before they were a couple.

Though doing better, Gentry fucked up. He answered an ad that had him being the receptacle for a spit roast gang bang. They left him battered and bruised and locked in a heavy duty cock cage.

After weeks in the cockcage, Gentry’s trip to the hardware store to find something to cut off the cockcage has him meeting Jericho. Jericho finds him in the bathroom at closing time, not having the strength to free himself from the cock cage.

Jericho frees Gentry from the cock cage, only to have Gentry come in his face. Gentry has a hair trigger. Which amuses and delights Jericho. Gentry runs off, leaving his wallet behind. Which is handy, because Jericho can’t keep the fascinating man off his mind.

Jericho returns the wallet to Gentry at Forest and Blakes’s house, where they are all about to sit down to dinner. He’s invited to stay, along with his dog. When describing the extensive training he puts into his dog, Gentry excuses himself and (no filter) Forrest explains that Gentry is a lifestyle submissive and he just described Gentry’s dream life.

“This is Tank. He’s well-trained and won’t make a fuss.” I tell the room. I notice the baby now occupies a cot between the two dads.

“Thank you for inviting us to dinner.”

“You didn’t have other plans, did you?” Gentry asks, eyeing my tie. I shake my head as they pass a pan of lasagna to me.

“Not anything pressing,” I sort of lie. Forrest cocks his head to the side.

“What did you have planned?” I’m not sure how to answer that. I don’t want to put myself or Gentry on the spot, the guy seems like the nervous sort, so I just shrug.

“Sometimes Tank and I just have a nice night out.”

“That sounds fun,” Gentry comments. “What do you do on nights out?”

“Oh, usually we hit a take-away place then the dog park. We’ve walked the pond a few times, but only during the good weather. Sidewalks can be hell on his paws.”

“Aww. Poor puppy.” Gentry gives Tank a sympathetic frown. “He looks exactly like a dog I met yesterday. He’s really well-trained. Did you use a trainer?”

I shook my head. “Nah, I spent several intensive weeks with him when I got him. My brother came down and worked the store for me so I could spend the time with Tank. He’s a smart dog, and we keep up with his obedience work every day.”

“You must be an excellent trainer,” Forrest comments then, but I’m looking at Gentry, and he just flushed bright red. He looks down at his plate and moves his food around without taking a bite. I can’t imagine what I said that garnered this reaction, but something inside me sits up and pays attention. Now I want to know what he’s hiding.

“I’m committed to Tank and his best life, which includes his obedience training,” I respond to Forrest’s observation, but I’m talking to Gentry.

He squeaks before jumping up. “I need a moment,” he announces and quickly walks away down the hall where I hear a door slam against a wall.

I watch him go, confused. “Did I do something?”

“Gentry is a lifestyle submissive, and you just described the life he wants more than anything,” Forrest replies as Blake clicks his tongue.

“Shouldn’t have said that, babe,” Blake chastises gently.

“I apologize,” Forrest offers plaintively.

“Is he gay?” I ask intrigued.

“Gentry is attracted to dominants, regardless of gender identity,” Forrest responds.

“That makes sense.” I consider the possibility that maybe what I’m attracted to is the submissive, not necessarily the man. Still, I came here to see if he might want to go out with me; I’m not leaving now that I know he’s not in a relationship— Wait.

“Is he your sub?” I ask Blake, because clearly Forrest takes his cues from his husband. Blake doesn’t even blink at the question.

“No. He’s our manny and friend.” I nod, relieved.

Jericho takes that as a greenlight to ask Gentry out.

Though Salem is only involved remotely, at first, this is a threesome from the start. Jericho has only had straight vanilla sexual experiences in the past, so it only makes sense for him to talk to his gay twin about his first interest in a man. Learning that his brother is a Dom and that Gentry is his dream sub comes as a surprise.

I do have some news that’s going to crack your ass up,” I tell him, putting my phone on speaker to scroll through some of the pictures I’ve exchanged with Gentry since Saturday.

“I could use a good laugh,” he rumbles.

“I asked a guy out. He hasn’t agreed to date me yet, but we’ve been texting and talking on the phone for a few days.”

Salem barks out a laugh. “Finally found a dude that hits your buttons right, eh?”

“I’m sending you a pic. He’s adorable, man. Not just in his appearance, and he is cute, but he’s fun to talk to too.”

I pick a selfie Gentry sent me yesterday. It’s just him, smiling at the camera as he sits outside with an iced frappuccino from one of the local artisan coffee shops. The text says, “Caffeine acquired.”

Salem falls silent as the photo is sent and delivered to his phone, then he whistles. “Damn, bro. He’s a hot little thing, isn’t he? And he likes your ugly mug?” I snort at him.

“Looked in the mirror recently?”

“I keep our face clean and shaved. You’re the twin with the beard for days. Is gay bear his type?”

“No, actually. He’s attracted to Dominants; gender and looks don’t matter in the grand scheme of his sexuality. He’s a lifestyle submissive, and I’ve been doing a lot of reading up on that to catch up just in case he wants to give me a shot.” Gentry and I haven’t talked about that yet, but since Forrest gave me a heads up, I’ve taken it upon myself to read and research BDSM as more than a passing curiosity.

Salem groans. “How did you find the perfect guy? I’ve been looking for a Gentry for years. I’d have quit my job and moved anywhere in the world to find a guy as sexy as yours with a submissive personality. Fucking struggling not to get jealous right now.”

Surprise runs through me. “I didn’t know you were into BDSM.”

“It’s kind of private, and I didn’t think you would understand. And I don’t actually get to play very often. My single serving boyfriends don’t really meet the criteria for a real D/s relationship. I use them to keep me company on my trips; expecting them to cater to my kinks is a bit of a longer conversation than picking up the tab on a trip overseas, you know?”

Salem can sometimes find the company of young, unattached, arm candy to accompany him on his exploration of the world, but he doesn’t keep his “sugar babies” around longer than the length of the trip he takes them on.

“I am learning that. If you have any resources you think I need to read, send me links. I want to do right by Gentry if he agrees to date me.”

“Sure. I got you. I’ll send you some links to books and blogs and a list sheet you should work through, and if Gentry agrees to date you, you’ll have him fill it out for you too. If you need advice or help, let me know. I’m here for you. Jealous of your boy, but happy for you too and hoping for the best for you.”

A smile slowly spreads across my lips. “Thanks, man. Love you.”

“I love you too. Keep me updated about how things are going with Gentry….”

Salem mentors Jericho, with Gentry’s full knowledge and participation. And along the way, Gentry falls for both of them.

Jericho persuades Salem to come home and share his sub. But the timeline is moved up when Gentry’s home is broken into, all his possessions destroyed. And suddenly Jericho is sharing his home with his sub and his brother.

Because Salem is mentoring Jericho, that makes Jericho (at least temporarily) submissive to his twin. So you can look at their little threesome in three ways. Two Doms sharing a sub. One Dom with two subs. Or a Dom, a switch, and a sub. In the end, the third is the most accurate.

Having 10 years experience being a Dom, Salem is much more regimented in his Domination. Rules and punishments, formal positions and inspections. Sex, at least at first, is almost secondary to the D/s dynamic.

As to the twincest question, it depends where you draw your line in the sand and whether you read the follow up, Jericho’s #Switch. (A must read, in my personal opinion.) But here, there is shared nudity, touching, and double penetration with Gentry bottoming.

I really enjoyed Gentry's #Doms, Gentry was a gorgeous character who had been through a lot, made a lot of bad choices and still come out the otherside a lovely person, if not a bit messed up, but then who wouldn't be. Jericho, was a honey and I loved how he took everything in his stride, he didn't fight his feelings towards Gentry and went out of his way to learn everything he could about D/s and other kinks that Gentry mentioned he was into. The relationship that was built between these two was really lovely and I loved how supportive and non-judgemental Jericho was of Gentry.

Salem added another dimension completely to the relationship building between the two. Jericho's twin, he has been hiding out in Alaska for 10 years because of feelings he had towards his brother, that he didn't want to have to deal with. He is an experienced Dom and offers to train Jericho long distance to be the best Dom for Gentry that he can. Along the way, Gentry and Salem get feelings for each other and when Salem finally comes home, all three are forced to take another look at their relationships with each other. I thought the whole story was done really well and I learnt a lot about D/s and kinks along the way.

I also enjoyed catching up with Forrest and Blake again and seeing how their relationship was progressing. They were great friends to Gentry and in turn to Jericho and Salem.

Never thought I would ever describe a story revolving around the BDSM, D/s lifestyle as sweet and fluffy, but that's exactly what Gentry's #Doms is ~ a sweet story about the beautiful Gentry and Jericho and Salem, the Doms that he loves and that ADORE him. The beginning is rough and may be triggers for some, so reader beware, but what follows is a tender (another word I never thought I would use to describe this type of novel) story about 3 people who forge a loving, supportive relationship and discover their true selves. It was wonderful to "watch" Gentry, Jericho, and Salem build their relationship and their bond, and this story is another example of what Jennifer Cody does best - giving us characters that have flaws and are damaged, but their strength to overcome their damage is what makes them beautiful. The only problem I had with this novel overall is that the story "dipped' into various aspects of the BDSM, D/s lifestyle and felt like author was trying "cram" as many kinks into the story as possible, and then threw in a stalker on top of it all which made the story feel very "busy" and in some ways, for me, took away from the development of the characters and their love story. With Gentry's #Doms, Jennifer Cody has created another set of memorable, fragile, yet strong characters that will stay with me for some time.

[Christopher Shelton · Rating 5 out of 5]

Jennifer’s writing style is conversational, almost as if she’s telling you the story as you’re reading it, rather than it being edited to the point of not having a personality. Jennifer’s books have personality, and this one is no different. From the first word to the last, the story is presented casually – each chapter smoothly moves onto the next, the POVs change without stutter, and your immersion in the story doesn’t fluctuate. Most of the characters are charming, both the MCs and the supporting cast, and the not-charming characters aren’t supposed to be.

There is kink in this story, but it’s not the story. It’s treated respectfully, and as part of the story, character, and relationship development, but Jennifer doesn’t let the story become 100% about kink, which I appreciated.

Gentry was as wonderful as we knew he’d be, from what we saw in the first book; glad to see Blake and Forrest back! Jericho and Salem are adorable; two sides of the same coin and they fit so well together with Gentry. There were some challenging topics in the book, but they were handled respectfully.

Absolutely loved this book!

- MMM
- Twins but no incest
- BDSM
- Themes of self-harm, abuse and recovery
- Very hot scenes
- Standalone, but I loved the MCs from book 1 popping up in this one

Jennifer Cody is one of my favorite writers for a simple reason: she can definitely write a good story. The Recovery Road series started with an amazing couple and I was afraid I wouldn't like Gentry & his partners all that much (from the little we had seen Gentry in book 1). But I was so wrong! He is such an interesting character and deserved to find his way to happiness.

Jericho was also a great surprise. Being straight and not in the BDSM lifestyle, it was great to see him reach out to help Gentry in every way that he could. That's where Salem enters the picture- an experienced Dom who will show the way to his brother. Only what happens is the three of them develop a new relationship, and finally, Gentry has all he needs: love, care, protection, and a firm hand to ground him.

The stalking/mystery part of the story wasn't as interesting as the rest, so I didn't really care for that and, to be honest, it was predictable.

[E.Muddle · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a very well-written romance with a substantial focus on the BDSM aspect. I adored the build up of Gentry and Jericho’s relationship, especially how Jericho took it upon himself to learn about Gentry’s needs and how he could fill them. But what Jericho comes to realise is that he’s still not quite everything Gentry needs. That’s where Salem comes in. Now, I will say that for an MMM book to work for me, I need to really feel how they all complete one another. Unfortunately, I didn’t get that with Salem in this case. I would have liked to have seen more relationship building between Salem and Gentry; it felt a bit abrupt without this. We get to see Jericho and Gentry fall in love, but this is missing for Salem, and the introduction of the triad is a bit jarring to the story.

Despite this, I still found this book to be thoroughly engaging. Gentry may have just about broken my heart all the pain and abuse he’s been through. He deserves everything good in life, to feel safe and cherished. So to see him get this made my heart extremely happy!

[Alexis · Rating 3 out of 5]

Even though the BDSM aspect of the book felt very clinical at times, the characters, especially Gentry, evolved wonderfully throughout the book.

What I liked:
✅ Even though we meet Gentry at his rock bottom, he takes resolute measures to get better and tries to stick to it.
✅ Jericho was sweet and fell with his Dominant role in stride. He didn't rush his relationship with Gentry, and all the date-planning was so thoughtful.
✅ Gentry and Jericho's scenes were hot, even though they doesn't have full-on sex until very much later.

What I didn't like:
❌ Salem felt kinda shoed-in for me. I felt like the book wouldn't been fine if he was just a mentor to Jericho rather than be a part of Jericho and Gentry's relationship. It also seemed like he asserted himself into their dynamic without much discussion with both parties, especially with him being a Dom to Jericho.

[Alix Cooper · Rating 4 out of 5]

Definitely a good book if you like a conforting Doms/sub kink. There is a lot of love, prise and respect between those three men. As much as the Prologue can be "heavy" to read, I think it is important to understand part of Gentry's behaviour. Jericho is a gentle giant, he adapts all is life to suit Gentry's needs and it's beautiful to see him explore and evolve with the help of his twin.
Gentry is the cutest thing ever, I love how honest he is with his problems and fight to get better.
I would have liked more of Salem, is so interesting and I feel like we didn't had enough of him ( bonus point for the little short story!)
It is different from what we are used to with this author, lighter maybe but it is a yes for me.
Can't wait to see where this serie will goes

[Tonya Kloiber · Rating 4 out of 5]

The relationship between Gentry and Jericho is beautiful to behold and watch take shape. The Salem and Gentry one was a little harder to appreciate, since the beginning starts on the phone and develops that way. Once they are together though, the magic happens, and then the storyline really draws you in. They way Salem handles his Dom "responsibilities" in AK is wonderful, and gives people an insight as to how BDSM can work. Salem and Jericho together, as teacher and student, are amazing, and again, hopefully makes readers who aren't as familiar with BDSM really appreciate the intricacies that occur in those relationships. The storyline is well-written, and watching Gentry heal under his Doms is wonderful. Ms. Cody has written another #winner.

[Janine · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed watching the development of Gentry, Jericho, and Salem. They all brought something different to the relationship and gave something different to each of the others. No one was left out or made to feel as less than. My favorite aspect of this book, though, was the communication. I can't even begin to count the number of D/s books where a safeword might be mentioned once or twice and then never again. That is NOT the case with Gentry and his Doms. They frequently checked in with each other and made sure everyone was okay (and learned from their mistakes). I also loved how accepting their friends and chosen family were with their relationship. I'll definitely read this one again.

A Different Kind Of Throuple Book

I'm not sure how to write this review. When the book first started my mind went in one direction and I totally forgot this was a series and that Gentry was in the first book. It's starts out with a bang and can be heavy and cause triggers but then the book starts to turn when Gentry meets Jericho. This is a very complex emotional book about the recovery of a masochistic service sub and a newbie Dom who has a twin brother Salem who becomes the Dom to both Gentry and Jericho. At times it did seem like a step by step manual for Doms in training and a bit rushed for someone in recovery but I'm glad I stuck it out and overall in conjunction with book one this book accomplished it's goal and provided a HEA. I highly recommend this series.

[Ida Umphers · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a book with wonderful characters in Gentry, Jericho and Salem. Three very different men but with personalities and needs that complement each other. They each have things in their past that have left scars, and in Gentry's case still active issues to deal with. Fortunately, the author has not taken the easy approach, that love alone can heal everything. These guys are getting professional counseling, reading to better understand themselves and once in a relationship they don't try to be everything to each other. The each meet different needs for one another and there is constant communication, negotiation and checking in for consent.

[Reader99999 · Rating 5 out of 5]

With the exception of the prologue (please read the trigger warnings), this is a great book, where a really sweet submissive, Gentry, finds someone who treasures him for himself. Jericho finds Gentry sitting on the bathroom floor, at a really low point in his life. Jericho treats him with kindness and sympathy, and their relationship builds from there. Jericho is not part of the BDSM community but understands that Gentry needs him to learn how to become his Dom, and reaches out to his twin brother Salem for help.
I loved this book, and that we get to see some of the characters from Forrest's Win again is icing on the cake.

Gentry's #Doms

Good gracious I keep reading "new" to me tropes. This one has been educational in a sense, to a lifestyle that I knew zero things about. Truly I enjoyed Gentry, Jericho and Salem's dynamic. I love how it was written to include all aspects of dom/sub scenarios. I never realized all the ways they can vary. I found it very interesting. I feel like I have better understanding to not be judgemental if I were to meet or know anyone in my life who lives a dom/sub lifestyle. Definitely recommend reading this. There are potential triggers so pay attention to the author notes. Lots of spice, care, and love ❤️

I absolutely loved this book. Meeting Gentry in Forrest Wins I was intrigued. Reading his story and getting to know him was what I needed. Meeting Jericho and seeing (reading) him with Gentry was adorable. A nice added twist was his twin Salem being more present in the story than I anticipated. Gentry gets double the fun with Jericho and Salem and all his buckets(metaphorical) filled . The Road to Recovery Series is different then Jennifer Cody’s other series and a nice change from the Paranormal world. I enjoy that she’s able to branch out and write different faucets

The prologue is rather dark and heavy. And the rest of the story could have easily followed suit. Instead, the author offers up a sweet, angsty story of a previously abused sub who finds love and hope in a relationship with two doms.
Gentry is a treasure. Jericho is a newby dom who is eager to give his boy all the good things that he deserves in life. And Salem is the experienced dom who guides and loves his two subs. It's an unconventional love story. But such a sweet one. Am looking forward to reading more from this author.

I absolutely loved it.

I won a copy of the book from the author and was so stoked to read it.

I will warn you that it is spoilerish for book one as we see quite a bit of Forrest and Blake and some of the aftermath from their book which I have yet to read as I don’t have KU yet. Usually I like to read books in order but I couldn’t wait.

I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. I also LOVED the bonus book.

I love everything this author writes! Her ability to create a world and tell a detailed story is amazing!

This book was great! Gentry was so easy to love. You really connect with him immediately. Jericho is such a wonderful blend of protective, loving and dominating. Salem was the perfect experienced partner who tied them all together and understood everyone's needs. The three together were insanely hot and terribly romantic! FYI-The opening scene was pretty rough to read, but important info for the overall story. I do believe you can skip it if you are concerned.

Loved it

I don't really do Dom /Sub kink books. I've read a few before and just didn't gel with them But they were MF🤔
Book one was amazing and I really wanted to find out Gentrys story so got book two. And wow it's just as amazing as book one. I loved how the dynamics worked with the brothers and Gentry. 😊 and I really enjoyed the whole Dom/Sub kink.b

joys and sorrows well done

It takes a certain kind of writer to be able to delve deeply into the psychologically difficult and hurtful without coming across as someone who truly doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Cody has done it here not only compassionately and comprehensively, but also very well!
