Dane and Dax Daring are brothers. They are also Doms who are having problems with members of the opposite sex. When Dane met Ann Slade, Annie to all who know her, he fell head over heels… so much so that he ignored what his brother and his friends said about being her rebound lover. He married her after three months of dating, giving up the lifestyle without even telling her he was a part of it. … part of it. But once the couple starts having trouble, Dax suggests that maybe it’s time things change if Dane wants to stay married.
Dax, on the other hand, has always been adamant about exclusive relationships in that he just doesn’t do them. Now that he has gotten to know his new sister-in-law, he knows he can never settle for anyone who isn’t just like her. The problem with that is he’s been in love with Annie’s best friend, Angela, since he met her. And she is nothing like Annie. Will he keep fighting the temptation, or can Angela convince him they are meant to be?
Publisher’s Note: This sweet romance about two brothers and their women contains elements of power exchange.

Two brothers and two best friends. One brother immediately knows Annie is the one for him. The other brother, Dax, is hot for her friend Angela but he knows he is not a marrying man. He only wants to play. Problem is, Angela only wants to be committed. These two brothers are Doms, but neither of them tell the women they are involved with. Neither Annie nor Angela have tried BDSM before, so that is a risk for both men. Will it be worth it? Could Angela ever trust Dax to only want her? A good read. Spanking romance. Hand, belt, paddle.

I received this book free and I am voluntarily doing a review. I gave this 4 stars because he disappointed me as a Dom and husband. No pus Dom’s lol they sucked as a supposed couple in love. BUT the storyline and word building was arresting and kept me reading. I really enjoyed it the author done a great job
3.5 STARS
The book was okay. I enjoyed the story but would have liked more intense romance and more sex. There is little BDSM, the title is deceiving.
I enjoyed reading this book. It is about two brothers, Dax and Dane Daring, where one believes he has found his HEA and marries and the other just avoids anything to do with commitment. But HEA doesn’t always work out, especially when you bury pieces of yourself instead of sharing them. Can Dane and Annie learn to communicate honestly with each other? Will it save their marriage? For Dax and Angela, will Dax approach her about a relationship or just admire her from the side?

A really nice plot, that sees two brothers meeting and claiming their ladies. There are some twists and turns to the story especially as one of the brothers Dane isn’t completely upfront with his new wife about his likes and dislikes. It’s a really interesting story that has a nice steady pace and likable characters.

Sweet Doms and their relationships
The Daring Doms is actually a book about the Daring brothers, Dane and Dax, who are both Doms. Dane is married to Annie but are having more than little issues with the marriage. They need to communicate with each other in order to save things. Dax is Dane’s younger brother and he asks Angela out. Angela is the best friend of Annie. Each brother is “hiding” his true self from the woman in his life.
The stories are There is not much BDSM happening in these stories which to me was disappointing as I definitely expected more, especially with the word Dom in the title. It was also annoying that both Dane and Dax are Doms and live the “lifestyle” but neither wants to tell the woman in their life that they are. It did not make sense to me at all with that regard. The book is more sweet and nice as opposed to having some down and dirty to it. Overall I think I am not the best target audience for this but others will most likely really like it.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own so agree with them or not as everyone’s tastes are different.
Two good interconnected romances with spice.
This spicy romance is about two brothers and the women they are in love with.
Annie and Dane are married but have hit a brick wall with each other. Dane is keeping a secret about himself and Annie needs more from him but she just doesn’t know how to tell him or what she needs.
Dex is Dane’s younger brother and Angela is Annie’s best friend but they are more than that. The problem is that Dex has told Angela once too often that he’s not looking for a relationship and if he was, it would be with someone like Annie. And Angela maybe her best friend, but they are two different women who want different things from life.
However, both Dane and Dex are keeping the same secret about themselves and fighting how they can save their relationships by bringing in the fact that they are Doms.

This book was different that the other Dom stories in where it focuses on a married couple and new couple that get together but are familiar with the married couple. The married couple is Dane and Annie while the new couple is Dax, Dane’s brother, and Angela, Annie’s BFF. The first section of the book is about Annie and Dane and the issues they have as a married couple. Dane feels as though Annie might still have feelings for her ex and now that he is back in town, he decides to take a break giving her the opportunity to figure out what she wants, even though he hasn’t been very truthful to her. His brother finally tells him that he needs to tell Annie about his DOM life and it may help the marriage out, in which of course it does, and it gives them back what they knew was always there along with a little something. The second part of the book is about Angela and Dax. He is not a one-woman man but will attempt to do so for Angela. Their story is loving as well but what is most important is that the couples are closer because of what they went through to get to where they are at.

Dane and Annie married after three months of knowing each. Everyone said that Dane was Annie’s rebound guy. They are having problems in their marriage and Dane has decided that he is going to fight for their love but he is going to bring the D/s lifestyle into their life. They are starting out slow again and it’s working. Dax on the other hand is in love with Annie’s best friend Angela. He doesn’t know that Angela love him also. These stories are what happens to couples when they don’t have an open line of communication, assume things that are not really spoken and basically not being open with each other. Each book is unique in the way they get their ladies to love them and spend their life with them. Very good story that will bring that special glow to your heart.

Annie and Dane was having problems with their marriage always snipping each other. Yes it was a whirlwind romance they had gotten married after being together 3 months. Dane was convinced that she was still in love with her ex boyfriend Russ. Dane left leaving note tell her that they needed a break he was going to his brother’s house. Annie was devastated and to make matters worse her best friend Angela tells her Russ was back in town. Angela and Annie go out to have girl time and they run into Russ. Dax and Dane just so happen to go to the club and Dane sees her dancing with Russ who was trying to kiss her. Dane left so he wouldn’t have to see what was happening. Dane really loved Annie but he was not going through any more hurt. Annie explained to Dane that she was not interested in Russ. Dane decided to take Dax’s advice to let her know he was a Dom . Annie was more in love with Dane than ever. He suggested that they try out the lifestyle which he had given up when he first met Annie.
Angela and Dax
Dax finally asked Angela out while out she made it clear that she was not going to be one and done. No friends with Dax she knows he made it clear that he doesn’t want a relationship. Dax likes hanging out with Angela even though she is still has the feeling he is nothing more than a playboy. Dax wants her to see more and that he could be trusted. Dax takes her to his parents house along with Annie and Dane. Dax and Angela are still trying to figure their relationship. Dax had to go to one of the job site to fix some problems and there was an accident. Angela was so worried that Dax might be dead and she never told him how she felt.
Unlike the other ‘Dom’ books by this author, this seems to be a completely standalone duet in the one book. The first half is focused on Dane and Annie as they try and sort out their failing marriage, while the second half is about Dax and Angela. Each can be read individually and are fairly self-contained, making the book more like 2 short stories published together. Each read provides an easily read story that’s very light on anything spanking/DD. I’ve quite enjoyed other books by this author but I found this book just didn’t engage me like the others did. Maybe each story needed that bit of extra depth that would have come from being a longer, standalone read.
This book has two interconnected stories in it. One is for brother Dane and Annie Daring and the other is for brother Dax Daring and Angela Vaccaro. I enjoyed reading. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is a combination of two novellas more than one book. The first story is about Dane Daring and his wife Annie. They had been fighting more and then Dane falls off the deep end and decides that Annie still wants her old boyfriend and moves out. They have to talk to find middle ground. I will admit I was annoyed by the attitude in the beginning of it being all Annie’s fault. But, once they sat down and discussed, things were more even.
The second story is about Dax Daring, Dane’s little brother, and Angela Vaccaro, Annie’s best friend. Dax finally admits that he feels something for Angela and asks her out on a date. Things progress pretty quickly after that.
There is a HEA for both couples. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
The Daring Doms comes across like two separate novellas in one book, as each half focuses on one Daring brother (really, that’s their last name). And I found I liked one story more than the other.
The first is a marriage-in-trouble plot, as Annie and Dane find themselves fighting far too much for either’s taste. They married relatively soon after Annie broke up with a long-term boyfriend, and many of Dane’s friends and family have wondered if this was a rebound relationship rather than one that could stand on its own terms. Dane reaches his breaking point, moves out, and decides to reset their romance by going back to a dating phase, where each can learn who the other is at this stage in their lives.
On surface, this sounds like a really interesting story. But in practice, I thought Dane passed judgement way too fast on Annie, and Annie made way too many assumptions about Dane. Add to this that Annie’s old boyfriend turns up at multiple convenient points for the plot, to the point that I couldn’t buy into it. The domestic discipline element seemed more like fix-all solution instead of one element of Annie and Dane addressing who they are now in their marriage. Overall, I couldn’t invest in this couple.
The second part of The Daring Doms was far more satisfying to me, as we have a longtime playboy in Dax, and the story centers around his gradual realization that Angela, Annie’s best friend, has come to mean more to him than anyone else. Angela, knowing his past from her friendship with Annie, doesn’t buy into Dax’s interest. So the journey concerns Dax convincing both himself and Angela that his is a real and lasting love.
What helped in this story was that Dax and Angela were well integrated into Dax’s family, and they played a strong role both in reaction to Dax’s actions and as counsel to Angela. I loved Angela’s forthrightness and Dax’s growing maturity, and how for them domestic discipline was an element to their relationship, not the entirety of it.
So The Daring Doms is a mixed bag. Unfortunately, as the one part I liked less came first, I hope readers who enjoy exploring the domestic discipline subgenre in romance will persevere through to the second.
