Submit is a great read.intriguing, engaging,dark romance,suspenseful. Great storyline interesting characters with great chemistry,well done! I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book
Intense dark comedy. Fantastic. Captivating. Mesmerizing. Full of tingling anticipation. Expertly written. Heart throbbingly intense. And a cliffhanger? Oh man. I’ve got to read the next book right now. So much is still left unknown, but it only keeps you thirsty for more. Great.
Submit is one of my favorite book by Lana Sky. I am addicted to her writing. While read I couldn’t put the book down. This book is a true dark romance, Submit is not for the average reader. The characters are a true sadist and masochist. I would only recommend this book to anyone who is into very dark theme books.
Dark,twisted,violent,insane,amazing…they are all words. Nothing can prepare you for reading this book and while this book is all of the above, is also thrilling and addictive. One moment you can feel trapped and terrified and the next you start to see the real face of the monster. Lana gives you bites and pieces of the characters and by the time you finish building the puzzle you realise that the true nature of them was there from the begging, you just didn’t see it.
This book is haunting, is madness hidden beneath a well crafted mask, but above all is a skilled piece of art that will have you holding your breath until the very end. And at the very end you will crave “Obey”. That’s how addictive this book is.
4.5 Stars
What an intense, twisted and captivating book by Lana.
I was very excited to start this book as i had heared a lot about it from others, and i can say that its quite the ride, its too much in evey aspect. the dynamic lana manged to create between the main charachters kept me on edge always and intrigued me to see what could possibly happen next. this is defiently much darker than any of Lana,s previous books but as usuall its still an amazing roller coster that shouldnt be skipped.
Submit is by far the most extreme book from the author.
With a killer suspense, unsettling and, sometimes borderline scary, Lana gave us Frankie and Maxim story, making pain its biggest protagonist of all, while gambling its role between both tormentor and reliever.
Can’t book two come any sooner?!
Oh wow what an incredible intense story with amazing character development Maxim a true sadist with very unique tastes and wants beware and yes he goes there and Frankie a woman just trying to survive life and finds so much more about herself. I could not put this story down it just sucks you in and I loved every single minute of it, not knowing what is going to happen next, there is no remorse or gratitude for anything money talks big and he takes and she gives so much, I really loved both of them just trying to figure Maxim out and what he was thinking was a puzzle. I thought it was very unique and I want more.
Dammmmnnn! Let me start by saying this is definitely for those who enjoy playing in the deeper end of the dark romance genre –
Our main characters are a true sadist and masochist in every sense of the word – Instead of roses, candlelit dinners and soft caresses Maxim gives Francesa the things she truly craves the harsh bite of pain, blood play, and humiliation – all the things that for a moment gives her a chance to breathe, to let go – a moment of peace.
This first book shows us Francesca’s self-discovery – How she ended up where she is and a few glimpses into her past that give us the why’s.
We really don’t get a lot on Maxim, we just get to know him, the surface is just being scratched. Glimpses here and there, but as much as he is front and center in the story, he is still truly a mystery.
There is a lot going on in the background that is setting up the tone and direction for this series. We are given tasty tidbits with regards to who the players might be and various possibilities of where the story line may take us.
A strong start to what looks to be a psychologically engaging and emotionally exacting series
Again may I remind you this is not a vanilla relationship – the characters choose their kink and proudly display it
Holy #$@&*! What did I just read? And why did I like it so much? Lana Sky is a new author to me but she has just captured my attention and sky rocketed to my “Authors to Watch” list. I was completely engrossed with Maxim and Francesca, and their dark needs for gratification.
Submit is darkly seductive and wickedly entertaining with ample amounts of deadly pleasure. From the very first page, you enter into a brutal and pleasurable pain-filled world.
Maxim is fierce, violent, and severe. Francesca reluctantly yields to Maxim. Her rationalization in the beginning was purely for monetary reasons. But each week that she returns to Maxim she realizes that a new need has surfaced, regardless of her denial. The magnetism is raw, abrasive and hardcore. The author masterfully draws out the eroticism between Max and Frankie constructing a carnal and depraved story with all the raw power it is written with.
Bravo Ms. Sky, I LOVED it and can’t wait to read Obey.
4.5* Masochistic Stars
This is just the first part of what is shaping up to be one dark and twisted ride. If you are looking for warmth, sweetness and cuddles; my advice is to keep looking. This is not the book for you. If you enjoy books that embrace the darkness and everything that can encompass, sharp edges, rawness and grittiness and harsh reality; then grab a copy because Maxim and Frankie’s story will satisfy your craving. Maxim and Frankie are both so broken that my heart cried for them both. Their attraction and chemistry is so powerful and hot, that you are left wondering if love and affection will be their salvation or lead to their ultimate destruction. A very intense and amazing read. Can’t wait for book two!!
This is a amazing book that WILL TAKE YOU ON A VERY DARK TWISTED READ THAT IS A VERY CONTROLED ALPHA THAT WILL HAVE YOU CHECKING YOUR HEARTBEAT THROUGHOUT THIS BOOK. THIS BOOK HAS MANNY TRIGGERS, BUT IF YOU CAN HANDLE THE CONTROL THIS IS A MUST READ. CANT WAIT TO READ NEXT BOOK.
Dark, Sexy, Twisted GOODNESS!!!!!! This book was sooooo !!!!!! I’ll be reading it again and again!!!!!
This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I am now hooked. Wow, I was pulled in from the very beginning and couldn’t put it down. I had to keep reading to see what would happen between Frankie and Maxim and…. if she would survive her time with him.
Beware, this story has some extremely dark themes including sadism involving knife play. This book contains many triggers and is definitely not for most people. However, if you like dark and disturbing, I would recommend reading this one. It was well written and kept me on the edge of my seat.
Throughout the majority of the story, I found myself wondering if this was going to end up being a dark romance or if it was going to end up a dark thriller. I will let you find out for yourself which one it ends up being, but will warn that it does end in a cliffhanger of sorts. I am anxiously awaiting for book two and can’t wait to read the other books by this author.
*I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. This is my honest review.*
What can I say? I totally drove right into this book and enjoyed each and every page! The characters are written so well that you can’t help but want more! I am looking forward to the next installment. I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of this book.
This is the first book in a new series from this talented author, and in my opinion, is her best work to date. Frankie and Maxim’s story is dark, raw, gritty, twisted, fascinating, and an emotional roller coaster. I was totally hooked and intrigued throughout and cannot wait to read the next book in this amazing series.
I loved Frankie and Maxim’s first book! Neither is what the other expected when they started their arrangement. Things quickly turn to more before either is willing to admit it. I can’t wait for the next book! Full of desire, pain, self-discovery, family, obligation, passion, and unique love.
Wow Lana Sky has done it again leaving you a train wreck of emotions you could not stop if you wanted to. She had me within the first paragraph and keep me flipping pages well into the night wanting to know all the tantalizing details. She peppers the pages with dark twisted eye opening glimpses of esmerizing but horrific looks into the very essence of who Frankie and Maxim truly are. Which explains so much and leaves you invested in these riveting intriguing characters, long after you have closed the book. I’m so excited that Obey is already a pre-order, and happy to say it has already be ordered and I’m waiting patiently impatient for more.
