Publisher's summary

From international best-selling erotic romance author Sierra Cartwright

"Even racier than Fifty Shades...." (Mail Online)

"With This Collar by Sierra Cartwright is a beautifully written BDSM story that contains the heart and soul of the BDSM world." (Blackraven Reviews)

Book one in the Mastered series

Julia Lyle will have nothing to do with domineering men, no matter how tall, dark, and sexy. But Dom Marcus Cavendish will be satisfied with nothing less than collaring the fiercely independent Julia.

Nothing could have shocked her more....

Julia Lyle is invited to her best friend's wedding and is stunned when Lana kneels to accept her husband's collar. When Julia starts to object, firm, relentless hands land on her shoulders. The man behind her threatens to turn her over his knee if she interrupts. She's outraged, but there's no doubt he's serious.

After the ceremony, he offers her a glimpse into her friend's lifestyle, if she's brave enough to accept. Master Marcus Cavendish is everything she doesn't want in a man - dominant, self-assured and arrogant. So why can't she resist him?

Telling herself that learning about the lifestyle will make her a better friend, Julia agrees to submit to Master Marcus, but only for the evening. Firm and unrelenting in his handling of her, he introduces her to his tawse and the pleasure/pain of a spanking delivered by a competent Dom. The experience unnerves her, making her question everything she thought she knew about relationships, and his forced orgasms leave her shattered.

No doubt the scene seduced her, and that makes her doubly determined to avoid him. She has fought hard for her freedom and vowed only to date nice men, and Master Marcus is anything but safe.

Marcus is undeterred. Julia is a natural sub. The way she responded to his touch, his voice, his punishment proved it. Now he has to convince her to yield to him, submitting to his tawse as she kneels to accept his collar.

Lots of Spice

I was looking for a BDSM read that got straight to the good stuff! plot is there but emotions run hot in this direct, no nonsense Dom and sub enemies to lovers. I love the author and her positive and consensual approach to the topics and her character development.

Predictable

Predictable with the usual romance tropes. This book is not worth your time. Couldn’t finish it.

Professional woman discovers she likes abuse

I read this book years ago and thought it was entertaining. I guess I've gotten smarter or perhaps less tolerant since then. Let's see, within an hour of meeting Julia at a wedding where she discovers that her childhood friend has chosen to be a slave, Dom Marcus has convinced her to walk naked in front of strangers, have her breasts brutally tortured, be tied up and whipped. That's all ok because she received several orgasms out of the deal. The formerly independent professional woman becomes a 'little sub' who crawls for her 'master', surrenders all independence, unable to orgasm without permission. She accepts arbitrary punishments, humiliation and beatings in order to please her master. This is all ok because... well... ORGASMS!!!...and of course she has the 'ultimate control' because she can always stop the pain, humiliation, degradation by using her safe word. That never happens though since Julia, as a member of the weaker sex, the pathetic gender, takes joy in pleasing her monster..oops...her master. Of course Master Marcus is completely unconcerned about her fears....use your safe word or stop complaining! Yellow? You need to slow down? I don't think so, lets just keep going.....

"Master" Marcus doesn't deserve the honorarium. When he first meets the vanilla Julia, a woman he knows isn't in the lifestyle, he manhandles her and threatens to drag her into a room, strip her and beat her. As their relationship develops we are told (endlessly) that: 1. the submissive has all the power and 2. Marcus cherishes his sub, deriving pleasure from her pleasure. In fact he's an over-the-top tyrant. You don't want to be humiliated? I don't accept that and will find ways to break down your concerns. You're 'yellow'? Suck it up princess. You don't want to be my full-time submissive and move in with me? Well I could talk this over with you to reason through your concerns but you've hurt my feelings so I'll call you a "bloody coward" and tell you not to come back until you are crawling and give me everything I want. Julia did indeed crawl back, begged for forgiveness and was beaten by her master for not immediately surrendering to his demands.....It's the beginning of a beautiful relationship because...well....ORGASMs!

I wonder where my head was when I read this book the first time.
