This well-edited book had so much potential. I loved that it started with the non-sexual side of BDSM. The erotic portions were definitely hot, and I felt the connection between the characters while in scenes.

With that being said, the length of this book really kept it from taking off. Larry and Bo had so much untapped character depth. Because of the rapid pace, I never really connected to the characters. There wasn't really any build-up of sexual tension. It honestly just felt rushed.

I really loved the Love in Xxchange series by this author, so I'll definitely keep reading!

As the story starts we find Larry doing volunteer work in the local soup kitchen. Larry had been away dealing with the death of his parents and has recently returned to town. Larry was brought up in a strict Christian home of the late 80s and his folks sent him off to a “re-education” camp when his parents found he was gay. Things didn't go too well there and it has affected his ability to foster and maintain relationships. Larry has a one night stand with Bo in a local leather bar and is smitten and he begins to wonder if he could possibly have a relationship after all. I think I would have enjoyed the book more if it provided more background to the characters. I would have loved to have read more about each of the characters and followed the progression of their relationship prior to the epilogue. The book felt more like a teaser than a full story.

I have been gifted this book and chose to leave a voluntary review. The review and ratings are solely my opinions. Thanks NetGalley for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

This was shorter than I prefer and just did not have enough character development, but still a good story. I thought the characters were likable but wanted more background.

I think this would have been a great book if it was more detailed and gave more background to the characters. I felt confused at times to where if I knew more about Larry and Bo I would have enjoyed this book more. It felt more of a teaser of a story rather than the full story.

This was a nice sweet read. It told a complete story in a short time span, that didn't seem rushed or unbelievable. The characters were enjoyable and complete within the small window of the world we were able to see. Although I expected to see other aspects of the bdsm community, but the caning worked in regards to the story. I look forward to Quar's story.

This is a short but very intense BDSM story. Too intense for me. Both was a sadist that gets off when inflicting pain. I like BDSM stories but this was a bit much.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a very different take on BDSM for me as I've never read read one about a true sadist before or a Dom who would bottom. The only complaint I have is the fact that realization of love of told in the epilogue instead of shown as it happened in the main part of the story.

Bo and Larry need to inflict/receive pain and that’s what made this book quite distinctive. Their sub/dom relationship doesn’t start with sex but gradually progresses to more than either expects.

A short one but damn it was great. The power exchange between a Dom and a sub...
Bo and Larry.
An exceptional relationship which both never expected or could dream of.
A sadist in a scene but outside it there is a whole other man. The same with the sub... even as sub he is extraordinary, has a big mouth and is extreme to get in his flow. Bo is the only one who can give him what he wants and Larry is the only one who can give Bo what he needs.

Outside the scene they are sweet as sugar.
And to watch them together was....hot as hell....not how you would expect.

Strong written and very pleasant to look inside Bo and Larry's world. It was short and good....would love to know them better...

I liked this one so much better than the previous instalment. I think it got something to do with the fact that there was easier to connect with Larry’s emotions. I loved a broken soul and he felt that way at times. His story was so interesting and heartbreaking.

Even though I liked both main characters, I prefer Larry. The story is told from both points of view but it took a little bit longer telling his story and I guess that made him a more sympathetic character.

The BDSM elements on this book were a little softer than I liked them but it was enjoyable. The story give more time to character development and their relationship than the actual BDSM, which was something I found perfect.

One of the things I didn’t liked about it was the fact that the relationship between Larry and Bo was advancing too fast to my taste, it didn’t felt that much forced, but I rather read more slow burn stories, but that might be just me. Overall I had a good time reading it.

I received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review. Loved the story even though it is short, it is well written and keep your attention. Bo and Larry’s story is very sexy and highly erotic. I would recommend this for a quick read that does not disappoint.

I really enjoyed Submit-book two in the Power series! Bailey Bradford did a great job of having quite a bit of story take place within a short book! I think Larry and Bo clicked right away and you could feel their energy!

Larry has been jealous of his best friend finding the Dom of his dreams. He would love something like that, but he's too messed up for that isn't he?? The unexpected happens when Larry meets Bo, a leather hood wearing Dom at his BDSM club. Bo is smitten when he sees Larry! Why hasn't he seen him around before? Larry had been away dealing with family business and is back in town. When Bo approaches him, he instantly sees Larry needs some help. He is just the man to do the helping!

Bo and Larry's dynamic is quite interesting. Both have a need for clear lines-kind of "what happens at the club, stays at the club" type. Neither lets their BDSM and sex intermingle. Their attraction was immediate and they never looked back!

I really like the Power series so far! I am definitely looking forward to book three, Dominate, with Quar!!
