Gain Your Copy Testing The Submissive Written And Illustrated By Al Daltrey Ready In Readable Copy
what a debut book for this author, I was intrigued by the synopsis and when I downloaded the book I was not disappointed,
The author did a great job with the disclaimer, because this book is not for the faint of heart however, I went into this book with a wide open mind and was not disappointed.
I found this book pageturning, intense and intriguing from the first page and throughout the book, The intensity of the story and the extreme masochistic nature of Abby, the main character, was truly insightful and exciting to read,
I have read many BDSM novels, None of them have them have touched on the raw and explosive nature that Mr, Daltrey has captured in these characters, The development of the relationship between Master and submissive is remarkable and nothing like I have ever read,
The story is fast moving, but you have the opportunity to develop an attachment to the characters, The intensity of the story will leave you flipping the pages to find out more about Abby's experiences and the development of the relationship between herself and Lewis.
As stated, I have never read anything like this and I am in awe of the author and his technique to draw you into a world that may seem to be taboo to most, but is a way of life and desire for many people.
I recommend this book to anyone with an open mind, it is a reading experience that I will not soon forget and has let me see into a side of BDSM that not many have ventured into through mainstream romance/erotic writing.
Very well done Mr, Daltrey you are a Master of Intrigue and Enlightenment and I look forward to reading many more of your books, Holy crap what in the hell did I just read
To say the least saying this is some hard core BDSM is putting it mildly, but I will say that the author does a spectacular job of getting into Abby's psyche and illustrating her inner strength.
She may be a submissive and at times seem very much like a doormat, but she is one hell of a masochist who craves more, Needless to say that ending!!!!!
Lewis, her sponsor and master was definitely testing her throughout the novel but it's Abby who surprises us at the end,
This book was hotter than hell and crazy at times as well, Definitely looking forward to more!!!!!!!!!!!! Boundaries, Theyre tested daily. Often without our permission. And we find ourselves forced into a split second decision of whether to accept or decline, bend or break, give permission or shut it down, Most of the time those moments arrive without warning and we find ourselves having to choose in the moment whether we want to push our own boundaries or stay in the safe zone.
This book is decidedly outside of the safe zone, Abigail is a whipping slut, That is exactly what you think it is, A woman who signs up to be whipped with various instruments at the mercy of the person wielding said instruments, Lewis is introduced as her handler of sorts, As the book progresses we get incredible insight not only into why Abby signs up for such a position, but the developing relationship between her and Lewis, The reader becomes privy to an incredibly intimate journey with this young woman that breaks the typical BDSM erotica mold,
When I was first introduced to the author, Al Daltrey, I asked him to tell me a bit about his book, He said, “Its pretty much just wall to wall sex, ” To say that he sold his work short is the understatement of the century, This book is an incredibly insightful view into the mind of a masochist, without judgment, without preconceptions and with an incredible amount of honesty and respect,
While the BDSM community is suddenly in the spotlight thanks to other books, this is one of the first ones Ive read written with such incredible candor and without any sense of predetermination of morality or lack thereof.
I was incredibly impressed with the point of view and straightforward nature of the characters, scenes and relationships, The intense depth of emotion explored served to highlight the more psychological components of this community, which is typically an area left unplumbed,
Daltry has composed an incredibly well written, deeply thought out book, which provides needed insight into the very core of a community that has been sensationalized within an inch of its life.
Is it also easy to read and sexy as hell Yes, absolutely, But I wanted to highlight the deeper elements of this book as I think theyre more than just important, theyre vital, The heat, the intriguing characters and erotic scenes are cherries on the top of a big sundae of insights into human nature and relationships,
Daltry already has another book in progress and to say that I will be waiting with baited breath is an understatement, This author has the ability to singlehandedly change the face of BDSM themed erotica and I will be cheering him all along the way,
This book comes with a WARNING! It should be taken serious! Read it and read it again and if you aren't offended, . . then happy reading :
Where to start This book left me so needy, so hot, so sweaty, It definitely left a strong impression, I was captivated right from the beginning and left myself asking a lot of times, if I would do it as well,
The way it was written with the episodes was really good and the storyline easy to follow, I loved that it also showed a little everyday life on how to deal with lifestyle,
Would definitely like to read more from Al Daltrey, I gave this book.stars.
This book is an interesting book to write a review for, I have been pondering what I will write about it for about a week, I have been trying to come up with words to explain how it made me feel, I'm probably going to end up rambling about different ways it made me feel and all kinds of things, So bear with me.
Let's get one thing out of the way heed the author's warning that this has extreme BDSM in it, This is not for the light of heart, But if you have and open mind and love the intense stuff, then stop what you're doing and immediately go buy this book,
Ok soooo This was a good book, For many reasons. One, because it was just written really, really well, This book made me feel things, this book challenged me and what I think about sex and what can turn people on, I read some scenes and was a little appalled BUT, IN. THE. BEST. WAY!!! Does that make sense No Yeah, I know, . . this is my struggle. Some of the scenes just made me cringe but you get the understanding of how much Abby enjoys these moments, Abby is an extreme masochist and loves to feel the shame that these moments bring and I think that is one of the best aspects of this book the way Al Daltrey writes makes you FEEL her shame, but you also feel how she is turned on.
Reading this book just made me think more than a usual BDSM book, It takes it one step further and really challenges the reader to question what turns them on, How far would you go to get what you want Do you understand yourself enough to be comfortable in these situations Abby is and I love it,
Then there is this romance between Lewis and Abby, It has to be one of the most understated romances in a book ever, You hear so very, very little about them, but dear god, you sure as heck feel the romance building, There are a few scenes where they actually interact through a majority of the book and I was so inlove with their love it was ridiculous, It was wonderful!! Maybe, it is built up with being able to feel how much Abby wants to make Lewis happy and proud, One of the first "tests" that Lewis puts Abby through I almost wanted to cry because I could feel her shame, This was a borderline shame that wasn't something that turned Abby one, hence why it was so sad, But at the same time I felt her need to do as Lewis asks and I think that is how the love story is built up, Because I believed it.
Another aspect of the book is how Al talked about consensual and nonconsensual, There are moments where most would be in shock at the accepting behavior in their group, but there is a clear line drawn to show what is not acceptable.
I am intrigued with the fact that Mr, Daltrey is a Dominant himself, It gives a different spin on the stories maybe it makes it seem more realistic, I'm not sure, but I do find it intriguing,
I find this book to be one of the most intense, depraved, sexy, and passionate books I've read, It was a phenomenal way to endand I cannot wait to read Al Daltrey's second book, A Condo With Two Views, when it comes out, I love a book that asks a lot of me to read and this one didn't disappoint, So be sure to click the purchase links below and enjoy!!

sitelinkwww. facebook. com/bookinlovetoread I give this story a five star rating for its eroticism and uniqueness, This is one of the only stories I've read that focuses on masochism, I've read many BDSM novels by now, but Abby's story is told from a very different perspective than most, To say that Abby and Lewis's relationship is very different from the norm is an understatement, As weird as their relationship may seem to those who read this book, it seemed to work for them, I enjoyed this story. I'm not sure if I enjoyed it so much because of how erotic it was, or because it was a little outside of the box for me, but I enjoyed it.
I will say that while I recommend this story to others, this story is not for everyone, Some may not be able to handle the dynamics of this book because Al Daltrey did not hold back which is another reason why I enjoyed the story so much.
Er . Wow I haven't read a book this hot in ages,
I love reading books with warning labels on, I like to think I am a very open minded person, I like books that challenge your point of view and teach you something different about the world we live in, A lot of people live in their own little bubble with little interest of expanding their own horizons and I feel sorry for these people, Who knows, maybe I live next door to an Abigail or a Lewis, . not likely . . but if I did I wouldn't judge them for their lifestyle, . . I found this book incredibly HOT, Maybe it's telling me something about my own lifestyle, :
I really enjoyed this, Thanks Al Daltrey. I look forward to your future works, XX I literally could not put this book down and read well into the wee hours of the morning to finish it, Every step of the way I was dying to know what the test was and how Abby would react to it, Many times I yelled at my iPad trying to get Abby to stop submitting and fight back, even though I knew it would never happen, This is because I personally struggle with any form of humiliation or degradation of people, Just my personal hard limit,
At the same time, I was also yearning and waiting to learn more about her and Lewis, what makes them tick, why they are the way
they are etc, The only thing that kept me from giving thiswas that I really wanted more character development,
The sex scenes we hot, hot, hot, . . definitely NSFW reading! I'm still putting this book together in my own thoughts! I have read it twice, My mind and feelings are wrapped around every scene! This is the first Erotica book I have read that went to the extreme Masochist side, I wanted to write a review worthy of Mr, Daltrey's work. I am very impressed. I love the storyline, the characters, everything about it! The depth that the Author went into Abigail's thoughts, I've given this book astar review because I do love this, every line makes me think of my own boundaries I may or may not have, A book should do this when you're reading it the ability to see yourself within the storyline, Testing the Submissive is an excellent read that will challenge your thoughts, Excellent choice of Pinot Noir BTW : Testing the Submissive by Al Daltrey is a book that's in a class of it's own, I have read some BDSM books but Testing The Submissive gives you a different look that you're not going to forget, Abby is a Submissive person and is being put through various tests by Lewis to see if she has what it takes to be the right kind of submissive.
Each test is recounted in Abby's interviews with Lewis and each interview is at times dark, highly erotic or both,
The push and pull between Abby and Lewis is a dance that is superbly told by Al Daltrey, He has written a story that leaves you wanting more with each page, What will Lewis have Abby do next and what will her reaction be I stayed up late reading this and was completely captivated by Testing the Submissive, Al Daltrey has definitely set the bar when it comes to writing about BDSM/Erotica, .
