Monica left her abusive Dom a year ago. Now a new man in her life wants to show her how to love – and to submit – again. Can he do it? Or will Monica’s past come back to haunt her?When Monica ran away from the Dom who mistreated her, she thought she would never be in a relationship again. Heartbroken and wounded, she now devotes her life to a business catering to the depraved elite. Then Mr. … the depraved elite.
Then Mr. Henry Warren walks into her world, offering her an escape from the pain that haunts the scars on her body. What he doesn’t understand is that a woman like Monica knows what pain is all too well – and no longer knows the difference between a Dom who will take care of her… and one who will destroy her.
But she’s falling for his pursuits. His charms. His handsome manners. His promises of kindness… with more than a hint of kink.
The only way Monica can heal is by submitting once again.
His domination is the cure.

Monica recently left an abusive relationship and has kinda sworn off any others since… however, once she meets Henry, things start to change.
Henry has secrets that may bring Monica’s past to their present and could cause issues with their future.. is their new budding relationship strong enough to withstand some drama and intrigue?
Our heroine is extremely gun-shy after a bad relationship, but that also leaves her wanting. Enter our hero who just might be able to get her to open up.
This is an erotic romance with strong elements of BDSM. I found the story to be well written and easy to read, with well developed characters and an understandable plot. The story did have several ups and downs, with a bit more angst than I usually look for, but it also had really good parts as well as plenty of steam. It helped a lot that I like both the heroine and hero and together they made the story something highly enjoyable. Overall, a good story and I look forward to more from this author.
Highly recommended.

I’ve read several books written by Cynthia Dane; she has done a great job at writing a good book; she is becoming one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the characters.

I’m a huge fan of Cynthia Dane and she has given us another great read. Monica is a strong character. She was in an abusive relationship with her previous Dom and after getting out of it, she doesn’t see herself getting into another. But not being in a D/s relationship, leaves a hole in her life. When she meets Henry, a compassionate and determined Dom, the chemistry is intense, but she is afraid. I love the push and pull of the chemistry, the build is slow, but the book is well paced. Solid 4 star read for me.

Oh, the heat is HOT, and the physical chemistry is captivating so be careful you may just get burned all the heat coming off these pages. There were some “oh no” “oh wow” ” what the what” moments and add in uncanny mishaps, and shenanigans the good kind that makes you keep turning the pages till last page has been turned. Monica is a sub by nature but after being in an abusive relationship with a Dom and finally getting away she isn’t interested in getting involved with another Dom although, she is missing a part of herself. She meets Henry who is a true Dom and wants to restore her belief in their life style of D/S and with persistence she slowly starts to trust but will she finally let go and trust again in another to what she needs and can they find their comfortable place?
Loved the complexity of Henry and Monica’s relationship!
Monica escaped from her nightmare relationship with lasting effects. Henry has the desire and patience to work through Monica’s issues, but will his secret destroy any chance of a future with Monica? Monica and Henry’s idea to to break free from Monica’s ex is outstanding!
Henry slays Monica’s dragon and wins her heart!

Monica had been Jackson for many years. In the beginning, she fell in love with him for his caring and passionate protection but over time he changed and the caring took second place to his wants and desires. His punishments no longer pleasurable, and instead had become torture sessions until she had enough and left him. It took time for Monica to heal from the psychological scars Jackson had caused. She had severe trust issues that made it hard for her to trust any man. When Henry came into her life, she was friendly but nothing more. Henry had been attracted to Monica from their first meeting many years ago. it was only a chance meeting that Monica never even remembered, but Henry remembered and wanted to gain first her trust, and then her love. This book captured my attention from the beginning. Monica’s painful breakup had left her unwilling to allow any man close to her, no matter how attractive she found the man. Henry was a man determined to win and Monica, tired of fighting her attraction finally gave in. Their romance was was not without its dramas, but together they persevered to “Slay her dragons!” and find happiness with each other. I found this book an enjoyable read that was both compelling and memorable, with an ending that was happy and joyful.

This was the second time I read this book. It’s my favorite of all the couples so far. I love this world that Cynthia Dane has created. Each is so different, but seeing the characters adds to the depth. Fans love it. I look forward to the next one.

This book was incredibly well developed and we’ll thought but it still was hard to get into it for more than a few chapters. The damage the characters had and the way it played in how they lived their lives was pretty good and I thought the author did a good job at thinking how a real person would react if they were to live in those situations and gave us a character that supported that person and did the right thing instead of the realistic one, yet it was still hard to read. The style was pretty good, the plot was great, but the book missed the hook to keep you coming back from more and losing hours of sleep to finish it. I didn’t disliked it but I still didn’t have the feeling of doom or anxiety I get when I need to finish the book to know how it ends and be happy that the characters got to a good place. Here it was more like following the daily life of someone slightly interesting but with a story developed incredibly slow and with no shocking reveal or interesting facts. A good romance just a slightly boring one.
Monica suffered at the hands of her previous Dom and now she can’t trust anyone enough to give her what she needs, not even herself. After barely getting out of the relationship she has been able to reconstruct her life and be successful but she still longs for the connection she used to have. She knows she might never be able to give herself fully to another Dom but she yearns to give up control and please someone. When Henry comes to her work, all the reasons why she should stay away and keep living the safe way slowly slip into oblivion. But is he the one to show her that not all doms take advantage of their subs and not all men are monsters? Can she open herself up enough to accept him? Is he worth the risk?

Monica ran away from the Dom who mistreated her and never thought she would find another relationship until Henry. Fast-paced read with lots of emotion, drama and intense chemistry. I was hooked from beginning to end. I loved it.
This is a story of a woman who has left her dominant master when he started abusing her. She still craves to submit, so she starts a business where she puts together mistresses and their masters. It is through that she meets Henry and he starts to pursue her for himself. There are three separate books that progress the relationship. I enjoyed this story.

His Domination by Cynthia Dane. This was my first book by this author. The chemistry and connection between the main characters (Henry and Monica) is great. I found this story to be enjoyable and steamy with a good mix of drama, strong characters, personal conflicts and struggles, and passion.

Woohoo! We finally get to read Monica’s story and how she meets Henry! There is so much chemistry between Monica and Henry and I love how persuasive he is, and how he knows what he wants. This series so far has been entertaining and I have really enjoyed it.

Monica suffered at the hands of an abusive dom. She tries to restart her life but there’s a void as she wants another dom. She meets Henry who is absolutely captivated by her. It takes a few tries but Henry does get Monica in the end. But the process of her getting healed from her past was intriguing to read. But the two of them were very intense together.

Surrender = Healing
After she escapes a cruel Dom, Monica tries to rebuild her life by focusing on work. While this helps it’s not enough. Monica is a sub and needs a Dom. How can that happen when she doesn’t trust men? Luckily the right Dom refuses to back down.
