Young Todd Wheeler bounced from one foster home to the next, each worse than the last, until he ended up living on the streets of Tampa. Hooked on drugs, he was on a downward spiral until the fateful night a stranger showed him an act of kindness that turned his life around. Even though he’s now clean and working for a living instead of stealing for it, he doesn’t think he’s worthy of love or … forgiveness.
New to Tampa, preacher’s daughter, Holly Leighton, looks forward to a fresh start, helping her father get his new church up and running. However, that plan did not include meeting Todd.
There’s a darkness inside Holly she longs to explore, not quite nefarious, but a dominance she desires. When Todd introduces her to Mistress China, Holly’s world shifts on a different axis, bringing her into a lifestyle she’d only ever read about.
When the softness of silk and the thickness of leather come together, an explosion of wills will be tested. Dominance will rise, but who will claim the top position?

I have not read any of the books in Samantha Cole’s Suspenseful Seduction series so I did not know what to expect with this book but Julie Morgan is one of my go to authors so I knew I had to read it. Todd is a man who grew up never knowing what it felt like to be taken care of and loved. It was only by luck that Jake showed up to take him under his wing and give his life meaning. Now, Todd is a productive member of society who is seeking a better life for himself through the Airforce Reserves and working as a mechanic. Holly is a woman who has recently moved to Florida, with her preacher father, to escape the man who tried to kidnap her. By a twist of fate, Holly and Todd literally bump into each other but due to Todd’s insecurities, he blows her off after exchanging numbers. However, you cannot fight fate and Holly winds up at Todd’s job when she has car trouble. Holly is not one to shy away from what she wants and ensures that Todd knows it. As the two of them get to know one another, they realize they have more in common which leads them to the Covenant where they both engage and learn about the bdsm lifestyle and their roles in it. This is one interesting read and Ms. Morgan has done a terrific job with crafting her characters so that they are true to life, especially Mistress China. It took a little to get into the storyline and read it all the way through. I volunteered to read a copy of this book.
Julie Morgan gives us the story of Todd Wheeler, a young man who has turned his life around after a rough start and drug addiction. With some help from Trident Security’s hot Dom Jake, Todd is a mechanic with a bright future in the Air Force.
He accidentally bumps into preacher’s daughter Holly Leighton and the sparks fly. He’s not too sure he’s good enough, but Holly let’s Todd know that his past is part of what defines him as a man. She has some baggage in her past as well, and it may come back to haunt them both.
This was a nice read from Ms. Morgan. It does contain elements of power exchange, as the club is involved, and we have Doms, Dommes, and all sorts of surprises I never saw coming. I’ll admit, I’m a Man Dom, woman subbie kinda girl myself, but the ride here was fun, and I hated to get off. Enjoy this addition to the Suspenseful Seduction series.
This one was a different twist! Holly meets Todd and the fun begins. There are a couple of lol moments and a few gasps, tears and all those feels!!
Mistress China makes an appearance as does Master Jake Donovan and his husband Nick Sawyer. This was a very tender feel good story with an HEA!!
I reviewed a complementary copy of this book.
Absolutely loved this book… Goes to show you that even a good girl can be bad. And once a bad boy can turn his life around. A must read!!! Todd and Holly are great characters
Fantastic story!!! Sweet and sexy I loved it. I haven’t had the opportunity to read any of Samantha Cole’s books that started this world that Todd Wheeler is from, but I will definitely have to now. So I went in blind so to speak to all the characters. I absolutely loved getting to know them. From learning about Todd’s past and the demons he over came, to him meeting Holly Leighton (preachers daughter) and falling in love. It completely broke my heart when he felt like he wasn’t good enough for her because of his past, and warmed my soul that she made sure he knew that was not the case. They both had quit a innocent side to them, especially Holly so it was something else seeing her come out of her shell and embrace the world of BDSM. It was a wonderful book and I highly recommend it. Julie Morgan did an amazing job.
This is so not your classic coming of age book but what a ride. Todd, the reformed bad boy, and recovering addict meets the daughter of a preacher and sparks fly from the very first contact. Throw in some lessons on how to be a Dominant and you have one highly sexy and entertaining book that is sure to have you hot under the collar. LOVED this book and feel that the author had done a brilliant job portraying the much-loved characters of Mistress China, Jake and Nick from the original Trident series.
LOVED! This book was hot but sweet at the same time. Todd is innocent in some ways but he had a rough childhood… really up till the time he met Jake and got clean. Holly is a preacher’s daughter and is as innocent as they come. They are as opposite as can be, but opposites to attract. Right? They both need something in order to live. Todd feels unworthy and Holly feels like she is not in control. Can these two heal and in the process help each other?
This book had me hooked! I laughed and cried. There is heat, drama, danger, love, and redemption.
Hot Domme/Sub
I really enjoyed this book. It was interesting reading about a Domme and her learning about herself. I loved Todd and Holly and how they were both switches. This book made me cry, the sex was hot and I loved seeing the other characters from the Trident Security series.
Todd Wheeler was a character in Samantha A. Cole’s Topping The Alpha and I would suggest reading that book first even though this can be read as a standalone.
This book was absolutely fantastic and I was so very excited that Todd Wheeler got his own book. The one time informant and runaway who Jake took him under his wing like a son and showing him that he was loved and cared for is something Todd has never felt. Now he is got his own self straighten up and on the right path and works in a garage and in the airforce reserves.,but his world is turned upside down litery when he bumps into a feisty Holly Leighton . Holly is a preacher’s daughter and they just moved to fl from Texas had to get away from a stalker . Holly doesn’t give Todd any leeway and is such a breathe of fresh air which and something that Todd isn’t use too. Todd and Holly’s story will take you to the Covenant which was absolutely awesome because we all love Mistress China and takes Holly under her wings was something that we never get to see in books and we all get to see some of our favorite Trident men and women. Things start to change when Holly’s stalker finds her but can Jake and the men get to her in time? You will absolutely be hooked from the beginning until the end and still want more from them. I am such a new fan of Julie’s now and can’t wait to read more from this gifted author
Submitting to Paradise is a story of taking back control and seeking redemption. Holly is a young survivor of a violent stalker and the daughter of a preacher. She needs to find a way to take some kind of control. Todd is a recovering substance abuse survivor he’s now clean but he doesn’t think he’s worthy of love or forgiveness. These two find something in the other that heals them. They discover new things about themselves and their journey is worth reading.
Though this is part of Samantha A. Cole’s Suspenseful Seduction World it can be read standalone.
I really enjoyed this book. I have been in a book reading funk for a month and this one was so good it broke through my funk! It has a preacher’s kid meeting a supposed bad boy turned good. When these two young people start exploring their sexuality they find lots of surprises. We have plenty of hot scenes but the scene at The Covenant is amazing. Loved reading about Jake, Nick and Mistress China. They gave wonderful guidance for a young couple. Our heroine has a stalker who was in jail and you just know he’s going to show up, so there is action and suspense too. Over all this is a beautiful addition to the Suspenseful Seduction Series.
