Walls of PainSophia DiMarco wants a forever kind of love. But finding the right sub isn’t easy. And so she built a fortified wall around her heart to keep her from wanting more. It worked—until Drew Snow walked through her front door and stormed her citadel with one smoldering look.Secret ShameNever having entertained the idea of being submissive before, Drew finds himself enchanted with the … submissive before, Drew finds himself enchanted with the beautiful Domme and craving the searing kiss of her dominance. But powerful men like him—he’s a sought-after chef with a television show in the works—aren’t subs, and the price of his submission is secrecy.
When tragedy strikes, he must decide whether he’s strong enough to embrace his true nature and Sophia, who has become so much more than a secret pleasure.

Sophia is a Domme with only a few clients. She meets Drew, who shows great interest in her, and tells herself she won’t let her heart get involved. This is a great story line with the characters learning things about themselves that were new to them. Drew learns its ok to be a submissive and male. It does have steamy scenes and a happy ending. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

SERVING SOPHIA is the third book in the Awakening series. It stands alone, though characters from previous and future books do appear.
I love reading Michelle Zurlo’s BDSM books. She educates while entertaining. This time I learned about male subs and female Dommes – or at least about Sophia and Drew’s relationship at it developed.
I loved that they found a way for Drew’s romantic nature to be allowed a place within their D/s relationship. In fact, they each brought out more from the other… while tearing down the walls that they thought they had to have in place.
I loved that Sophia made mistakes and acknowledged them, if only to herself. Doms/Dommes do make mistakes. In this case, because in her heart of hearts because she did want the romance that Drew was hoping to bring into her life, even if she didn’t want to admit it yet.
I loved falling in love with all of these characters and their friends…. Especially her brother David and his friend Evan. I hope they soon have a story of their own.

Ok so it is hard enough to find femdom oriented books… but to find a book that literally made me take half a day of vacation because I couldn’t put it down when I should be working… it was that good. For those in the scene, especially for those whose interests don’t tend to make mainstream writing, you have to read this!

Christopher was a high powered attorney but also Sophia submissive.
Christopher finally told her that he had met someone since their relationship was not romantic. Sophia was trying to pass it off as next time but that was when Christopher told her there would be no next time. Drew was a renowned chef and on the boat he hired a chef though it was hard cooking for a chef. His friend Livia was on the boat with him. She told him she should meet her domme. Livia took Drew to meet Sophia and Drew couldn’t believe how attracted he was to Sophia. Drew was involved in the scene between Sophia and Livia. But,he really wanted
Sophia which she gave him a taste. Drew finally had it with Liv and told her that they time had ended. Sophia was really drawn to Drew which was taken her back. Drew became Sophia’s sub even though he never thought of himself as a submissive. Drew also knew she had other subs and topped people at the club though he really wasn’t happy about it. Drew was trying to keep their relationship a secret as he was preparing to do a cooking show for the network and didn’t want people knowing he had a domme.
Sophia is a beautiful, very strong woman. She is a Domme and she has a dream of a sub who only desires her happiness. It hasn’t happened yet, but she hasn’t met Drew yet either. A chef who knows he is not submissive and does not like pain. Learning the exquisite pleasure that comes from submitting your control to someone you trust blows his mind. He wants Sophia, but his hard limit is that no one can know he submits. It could ruin him. Is that a deal breaker?

What. A. Fabulous. Read! This series is going on my top ten series of all time. Every book just feels incredible! Drew and Sophia are a phenomenal five stars. I just loved it!
What did I like? This author can create love where the characters need it. Male submissive have a catch all for being weak, but Drew is anything but that. Here he not only meets Sophia’s dominant needs but flourishes under her dominance making himself a freer person. I find it amazing as they scene and Drew opens up to realize that it takes a certain strength to just let go.
Would I recommend or buy? This author makes consensual scenes with all sort of cock and ball torture, anal sex, and oral sex. Scenes have a heady attractive male who succumbs to his Queen’s desires. If you adore BDSM scenes then this is definitely for you. The story line is about a male finding his sexual comfort in a dominant female.
Thoughts for the author? Congratulations….another great story. I really love this series. I still think Owning Up is my favorite. Can’t wait for more. I received a copy from Booksprout and this is my voluntary review.
