While Catherine faces dark shadows and pleasurable highs, Jayden finds his own inner strength being tested. Will it prove to be more than she can handle? Can she endure the erotic onslaught her mind and body will experience and survive unscathed? To celebrate their collar-ing anniversary, Jayden organizes a special day, during which her final limits and fantasies will be realized. I’d love to read a non-erotica story by her that lends itself to lengthy descriptive passages it would surely be a treat.Over the past year of being Jayden Masterson’s collared submissive, Catherine O’Chancey has worked through the mental terrors left behind by her old Dom - she thinks. Hargrave’s descriptive writing ability to really show through for a few brief moments. There were a few places in the book that allowed R.E. Although this was an ARC (advanced reading copy), I’m pleased to say I only saw a few minor errors throughout the entire book. Poor editing has become one of my pet peeves when dealing with published works. Reading To Serve is Divine certainly gave me a new sense of respect for the BDSM community and a better understanding in general. I was able to connect and sympathize with Catherine and Jayden and found myself invested in the outcome of their relationship.Īs I mentioned before, I don’t have any personal knowledge of the BDSM lifestyle, but my impression while reading was that the author did her research and portrayed it in a realistic way. That completely changed in the second half of the book. The beginning portions were hot but didn’t do much toward making me care about the characters. There wasn’t enough plot in the first half of the story to suit my taste.
Was it hard to read? At times, but it was far more realistic. There was no question I was hearing Jayden’s “voice.” There was no love at first sight it was a gradual change for both of them. I thought she did a great job “thinking like a man” when writing chapters from Jayden’s perspective. She gives enough details for the imagination to take over without overloading the reader. Hargrave drew me into the story with her crisp, descriptive writing. As the story unfolds, readers are given an intimate look into their developing relationship. Catherine (Erin) is a previously abused submissive who captures the attention of a Dom in search of a sub who enjoys pain play. I’m not going to spend a great deal of time explaining the storyline-that’s what the book blurb is for. Erotica is not usually my genre of choice, and I have no knowledge of the BDSM lifestyle. When I was approached to read and review To Serve is Divine, I was a bit reluctant.
