Veronica McGinnis is a single mom, more concerned with her son’s homework than dating. She lives quietly on the Scottish coast, writing articles for the local newspaper and raising her child. When her cousin Declan asks her to attend his huge wedding, she doesn’t hesitate to accept the invitation. Veronica needs to escape her humdrum existence, if only for a while. She loves being a mother, but … but most days, it feels as though that’s all she is. As a submissive member of The Dungeon Fantasy Club, she’s been feeling achy and needy and downright ready to jump the mailman’s bones – which, in her small town, is the epitome of desperation.
Hunter Clarke is a famous Hollywood movie star, appearing in several of the latest blockbuster films. His name and face, as well as his potential love interests, are constantly splashed across the news, right alongside politics and the latest baseball stats. One of the founding Dom members of The Dungeon Fantasy Club, he walks a tightrope, with salacious reporters just waiting to uncover the tawdry side of his life in return for a huge payday.
Hunter has to make amends with Zoey, his best friend’s fiancée, especially if he wants to remain a member of the club, so it’s with his hat in his hands that he accepts Declan’s invitation to be one of the ushers at what promises to be the wedding of the century. Hunter couldn’t be more shocked when he enters Mullardoch Manor only to discover that one of the other guests is none other than Veronica, the first love of his life, and the woman who broke his heart.
When Hunter discovers that Veronica is a submissive club member, he tempts her into a private scene. Her sweet cries as she submits to his fervent demands make him wonder how he could ever have convinced himself that he could live without her.
Veronica’s only thought, however, is how much she needs to keep the secret she’s kept hidden for ten years. When the truth is revealed, she moves heaven and earth to shield the most precious person in her life from the fallout – even if it means leaving the one Dom she knows she could give her whole heart to.
Will Hunter be able to convince Veronica to submit to him for more than just one night?

A really good and sizzling second chance romance.
Hunter and Veronica have a history together that still connects them with more than just the heat they generate together. When they see each other, after ten years, at Declan’s home it’s clear the heat is stronger than ever. What happens next tests both of them.
This book is well-written, the characters are well-developed, and the world of this series is very well developed. I am learning about the BDSM lifestyle and seeing it in a totally new light because of this series.
Anya Summers has done it again. She’s woven a lovely story. I can’t wait for more of this, I want to say more about this story but I absolutely hate spoilers, so I won’t go into details.

When Hunter shows up at the manor for Declan and Zoey’s wedding, he will be in the surprise of his life, for his first and only love is there and, as he is surprised to find out, she’s Declan’s cousin!
Zoey and Hunter had a summer fling 10 years previous, but Hunter departed Scotland to go chase his Hollywood dreams, and Veronica was left with not only a shattered heart, but a permanent part of Hunter in the form of his baby, a baby she has never told Hunter about. When she sees Hunter for the first time since he left, she knows she has to continue to keep her secret, AND not give into the attraction that is hotter than ever. If only Hunter weren’t even sexier and more built than before, and if only her body would get with the program and not yearn for Hunter’s domination.
I liked seeing Veronica and Hunter get their second chance. The chemistry between them is probably the sexiest of this series, and their scenes are smokin’ hot. I do wish their breakup had been detailed a bit more, though, because I still feel a bit in the dark about it. But generally speaking, Submit to Me is a sexy, engaging read.
Hunter is a well-known actor from Hollywood and couldn’t believe his ears when he hears a voice he has never forgotten.
Veronica was devastated when her love flew away and abandoned her. Now after ten years, she met him again.
Here we are again at Declan and Zoey’s wedding knowing the love story of some important people to them. It’s good to see some of the characters from the previous books.
The book is well-written and takes us to the pain of impossible love and the struggle through life without the loved one; the joy of having a son and the fear to lose him.
I love how Collin reacts to the great news of having a father and his innocence at asking Santa for him.
If you like erotic romance, this is your book and your series.
