His Sub's Submissive

Club Esoteria #1

by Cooper McKenzie

Erotic romance author and closet submissive Sloan Newman wondered what being a sexual submissive would be like. When her cousins Jenna Best and Taurus Green offer her a chance to take part in the slave auction their BDSM club is holding for charity, Sloan agrees. If nothing else, she'll be able to use the knowledge gained in her future writings. It's Master Dane Bennett's life partner/sub Merlin Gates's 30th birthday and Dane wants to buy him a gift - a submissive little pet they can both play for the weekend. As soon as the bisexual men see Sloan on stage, they know this is the woman they've been looking for. After spending the weekend introducing her to BDSM, they realize she is the woman they want to complete their family. Now all they have to do is get her to agree to be His Sub's Submissive.

The main character is a pediatrician.

About the author

I always thought I had been born a hundred years too late, but I do appreciate air conditioning, computers and other conveniences of modern day living. I love the slower pace of New Bern, North Carolina as well as the history and small town community. Imagine a neighborhood where people wave at one another and keep eye out for the children. It's like living in the 1950s. In addition to dreaming up my next story, of which there are always two or three in the works, I enjoy reading everything from children’s books to romance to mysteries to vampire adventure, singing in my church choir and needle-weaving.

I love to hear from readers at coopermckenzie@ymail.com.

Dom Dane Bennett is celebrating his sub’s 30th birthday by purchasing a female sub for the birthday guy with his agreement from a BDSM club’s first annual slave/sub auction for charity. The club has stipulated in regard to this purchase, that it is only for a weekend’s duration. Oh my goodness! I’m psyched.

Merlin Gates is Dane’s sub and he is called Pet. He is a doctor who suffers greatly when a patient of his dies. His Dom has helped him release his pain by a rather special birthday tradition. This scenario so moved me on many levels, plus it became clear to me that Dane and Merlin were a really special pair.

Dane is a bit of mystery except that he is a loving, experienced, and commanding Dom. His power and control are impressive.

Sloan Newman is going through some truly bad times. She doesn’t have enough money to cover her bills. Her supplemental job is in a rather bad part of town; her income from her main job has gone down. Sloan’s very successful cousins have tracked her to the extremely seedy looking Java Stop and kind of read her the riot act. Additionally, they need her to fill in for their first annual slave/sub auction for charity. Submissive by nature, Sloan gets talked into filling in.

A fairly simple set of circumstances paves the way for a loving duo to become a passionate and triumphant trio. What a spectacular transformation! It is such an exquisitely sweet and marvelous twist of fate on several levels. Do follow these three during their weekend and the week thereafter. I hope you find their merging as amazing and fulfilling as I did.

Too perfect to be believable, to the point where it would pull me out of a story. Woman's never given head in her life, but suddenly is the best he's ever had? Only had sex once in her life and it was crappy, and now the third time she's taking two men at once? Never has anything to do with BDSM and now knows just what to do and has no problem with any of it? And did you really need to use the phrase "man juice"?

If you can ignore the perfect-ness, it's fairly well-written and hot.

These are really just quick, hot reads. Insta love, not a lot of angst..I liked it though!

[Aimee · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked this better than I thought I would. I was wondering how it would turn out, I had a hard time imagining what would happen but in the end I found it enjoyable. While I enjoyed it, it felt terribly short. The ending felt rushed, but over all I liked the writing. It may not have been as steamy as I normally would like, but it told a good story.

Sometimes in stories I feel like love is rushed. This was no different. Both parties, it seemed like love at first sight. I don't believe in love at first sight. Lust, yes. Love, no. So it was harder to believe that they fell in love with each other without really knowing who each other were. That and the shortness were the only things that bugged me about this novel.

I like McKenzie's writing. I will continue on in the series, I have read some of her other stuff and look forward to more on this. I still prefer Cherise Sinclair's Masters of the Shadowlands series, since it is more in depth and has more time to develop the characters. But this was a nice short story that can be read in one sitting. Just don't look for too much depth from it.

3.5 stars. This is a sweet BDSM romp with Sloan, a nearly virginal young woman joining an established MM Dom and sub for the weekend after Master Dane and Merlin win the bidding at a BDSM club Slave charity auction as a birthday present for the sub. It does require you to suspend belief somewhat in how fast the relationship grows, but it's a fun, smexy read just the same.

His Sub’s Submissive by Cooper McKenzie

I received this book from Ms. McKenzie as a holiday gift and I’m so glad I did. You could say I won twice because I now have a new author to follow and a new series to pick up and enjoy reading.

Though not long at 12 chapters, it was well written and with some smokin’ hot scenes. Plenty of details too on some of the secondary characters that are have me looking forward to reading about them in the next installments.

Sloan is at a low point in her life where everything is falling apart. She is working at a coffee shop in a bad part of town just to pay bills and in her spare time working on her passion which is writing erotica. Her love life is nil and not looking up any time soon. All this changes when her two cousins show up and offer her a chance to be a sub for a weekend as part of an auction they are holding at their BDSM Club Esoteria.

Master Dane and his sub and partner Merlin have been a couple for several years and as a birthday present to Merlin they attend the auction looking for a third. It is Dane’s wish to find a sub for his sub but more importantly to find the woman that they have been searching for so long.

Whoever said souls mates could only be between two people hadn’t meet Dane, Merlin and Sloan. That’s how much these three fit so well together. Sloan needed someone to care about her and care for her and she got it times two. Merlin got dominance from Dane but submission from Sloan and the woman’s touch they were looking for and as for Dane…ahhh he got his heart’s desire.

I recommend this book to all that like a well written story with steamy erotic scenes between two hot guys and a beautifully curvaceous woman. Add a bit of BDSM, romance and a Happily Ever After and it’s all good!

Favorite lines…

“two men were three times the fun.”

“Don’t look so worried. I won’t bite, too much.”

“He f**ked me. He came after about a minute, right before I threw up on him.”

“Can we keep her?” Merlin whispered after he saw that the woman between them had fallen asleep. “Please, Master?”

“I think you melted my bones.”

Wanting to make her writing better wanna be writer, Sloan Newman agrees to a sub/slave auction in her cousins' BDSM club. She is willing to submit to a man for the experience for one whole weekend.

It's Master Dane Bennet's subs 30th birthday and Dane wants to spoil him. He tells his sub, Merlin Gates, to choose someone in the auction to be their third for the weekend. Merlin finds an immediate attraction to Sloan's innocence.

Over the weekend, Sloan finds herself in a caring, loving relationship. Nicknamed their Angel, she experiences orgasms and the TLC she's always craved with her Master and Sir. They introduce her softly and gently into the BDSM lifestyle. She hates the thought of having to return to her dull, tedious lifestyle. Merlin absolutely wants to keep her, and although Dane agrees, he believes that she needs time to process what she's gone through.

Nearly a week goes by without a word from their Angel. They don't even know her last name, but they want her back and want her with them now. When they realize that they didn't leave a way to contact them, they return to the BDSM club and demand a way to contact her. The owners, Jenna and Taurus, are actually Sloan's cousins. Eventually seeing that they care for Sloan, Jenna gives them the name of the coffee shop that Sloan works at.

Nothing will stop them from finding her, from completing their family, not even a burnt down coffee shop.

Ah.... BDSM written at its best. Intense yet caring, understanding, yet staying true to their more dominant natures, willing not to push, but to nurture the bond that is happening to all three of them. Great little read. Only wish it had been longer!

My Rating: 3.5 Stars

Dane and Merlin are a couple but they are looking for the one that completes their triad, and sweet Sloan seems to be the perfect fit. By the way, naming one of the characters Merlin was cool, in my opinion.

I've had this author on my TBR (to be read) since 2015 when I first discover her series by accident.

It was not until now that I actually put my eyes to good use to read the story and I'm glad I did. It was just what I was looking for, right now: hot, sweet, sexy, and romantic.

Don't let the fact that this book is short fool you. It has all the necessary element for a good story and yes, it could have been longer but it would be unnecessary fillers because just as it is, it tells a compelling story that I just liked to read.

I believe this book could fall in the insta-love category because of the way the characters fell in love but I don’t mind one single bit. I was looking for a hot menage and got what I was looking for.

One thing that I want to point out is that McKenzie, as an author, did a very good job at portraying a sweet and loving relationship in the BDSM fantasy that she wrote. I don’t believe is absolutely the way things work on the D/s community but I like to see something like this from time to time.

What stood up to me the most were the sex scene. What? Don’t judge me, I like my sex scenes well done, realistic and with love. Again, I’m not saying that all scenes are done like the author portrait them but I liked the fact that she had the condoms, the lube, the preparation of all parties into account when she went there.

When Sloan is asked to auction herself off at her cousin's BDSM club, she hesitates for a split second, but ultimately jumps at the chance to fulfill her fantasies!

Master Dane is a loving and sweet Dom. If you are looking for rough and tumble, this is not the Dom for you! Although classified as BDSM, I would say it is BDSM light with elements of the culture thrown in. The book was a fairly quick read, but allowed ample time for character development. I thoroughly reading enjoyed it! In fact, I am moving on to the next in the series!

I liked Cooper McKenzie's characters, Master Dane and his sub/slave Merlin & their aquired sub's sub Sloan. The developing unconventional lifestyle & romance that ensues will really appeal to those who are turned on by the idea of Doms & subs in a menage situation, who care for each other. A club like Esoteria & their Dom owners would be ideal bliss for those into or would wish to be into the Master/sub lifestyle. This is the first in a series & it has encouraged me to read the other stories in the near future. These are M/m-m stories, which hits the spot for delicious bdsm/menage erotic fiction & addresses those whose fantasies are BDSM lite oriented. I considered this for 3 and 4 star and opt for borderline 4

[Joanna · Rating 4 out of 5]

“Can we keep her?” Merlin whispered after he saw that the woman between them had fallen asleep. “Please, Master?"

This book examines a rather different set-up to most books in this genre as, as the title suggests, it is a male master trying to find his male sub a female submissive.
I did like this book as even though it was quite short, it was a cute read.
I think it is an ideal book for people that feel that they have an interest in erotica/BDSM but don't want to explore it in too much detail.
Not my favourite book because but I think the author did a good job of introducing the characters' troubles in enough detail for you to understand without making them difficult to deal with.

A good light read if you want a quick buzz!

[Red · Rating 4 out of 5]

It has been a while since I have read a really hot book. This one shocked me. I was not expecting what I got. The Men were hot!!!! I could have read a book with just them in it and that really isn't my genre....add in their lady and it is just smoking hot. Having a Master and a Sir. What more could you ask for? All of the characters were great. They had a certain strength to them that gave them a level of vunerability to them that was unique and different. I can't wait to read more from this author. I was pleasantly surprised!!!!!

[Judith · Rating 4 out of 5]

A novella that showcases the loving and caring relationship that is possible within that lifestyle. A "newbie" is auctioned off for a weekend by her cousins who own a vastly popular BDSM club--the submissive who had agreed previously had bowed out and Sloan, a writer, agreed to take her place. She is "purchased" by a Dom as a birthday present for his sub--they had really been seeking a third individual to add to their "family." It is a very engaging story and one that will introduce the reader to the loving possibilities. A very erotic tale.

[Emily · Rating 4 out of 5]

I greatly enjoyed this story. Normally I don't like stories where you have a m/m couple and then a female is added, particularly when your m/m couple has been together for years, as I feel like it's saying oh, a gay relationship is okay, but it's better if you add a female. I know that's not necessarily what authors mean to portray, but that's just me. However, this book did it stunningly and I didn't feel like they just added a female to make it a threesome. I enjoyed the formation of the threesome and the exploration of a new sub. This is my fave of the series.

[BookAddict ✒ La Crimson Femme · Rating 2 out of 5]

I purchased this a while ago and forgot about it. Since I have another book in this series, I decided to read it first. Had I read this book 4 years ago, it may have been a 3 star. Now, it is a 2.5 star. I've had more experience in the BDSM lifestyle so for me, this book is too unrealistic romantic fantasy for me.

However, I do like Jenna the cousin. She's pretty cool. The auction concept is always hawt. The "cathartic" spanking to bring a man to tears worked for me in this book. I liked it. Overall, the BDSM in this story is a sweet rosy coloured make believe view. Cute.

[~❤️Minnie❤️~ · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a sweet story about a submissive that did not quite know she was submissive and a D/s established relationship looking for a third to love and meet the needs that they as men couldn't give each other.

Although it was fast paced it had all the elements I look in a story. The chemistry between the characters was there and Dane and Merlin did everything they could to make Sloan feel welcome and a part of the relationship.

I can't wait to read Taurus story next.

[Gab · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked it. The protective/caring aspects of the two male leads that lead female brings out was just sweet to read. The heroine was definitely a sub-sub - a bit like a helpless pup - but of a bit of TLC you can see she'll bloom [& hopefully maybe grow a personality/backbone - he he]. I'd recommend it for the twisted sweet factor [not campy]

[Karen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good story just what I expect from this author but I wanted more so that is why 4 instead of 5 stars. I liked this story line but would have liked more at the end. It was a very interesting story and I loved the dynamics of this trio. First one I've read from this series but it won't be my last as it grabbed my attention and kept it through the whole read

I loved this story. I would have liked it more if it were a little....more. I also don't easily go for instantly falling in love unless the story has been laid out right to make it believable. This was not. Like I said it needed to be longer and more!

I enjoyed this book. I really liked the interaction between Dane and his sub, Merlin. And their caring way with their new sub, Sloan. Even though this was a novella, the author was able to show us the love between Dane and Merlin and their eventual love for Sloan. 3.5 stars
