This book picks up directly after the final installment of the Brie Series, Brie Bows to Her Master. Fans of the Brie Series know exactly what they can expect from Red Phoenix as she continues the story of Brie and her new Master.
If you have not read the Brie Series, I strongly recommend that you read those nine novellas before embarking on the After Graduation Series. Characters and motives are already well established as we begin with this book, and you will no doubt feel a bit lost for the ignorance.
As a matter of fact, I also recommend you head over to Amazon and download The Collaring Ceremony: His POV. Its a FREE novella, and its from Sir's perspective!
Sir takes Brie to his home directly after the collaring ceremony a the Submissive training Center. Though she feels guilty that he has given up his position at the Center for her, she's elated and nervous for their relationship to begin.
Sir informs Brie of the following:
1. She is going to quit her job at the cigarette shop to work on her documentary.
2. When in a scene, Brie is only to wear her Collar. She shall call Sir "Master" and Sir shall call her "tea" (which is Italian for goddess apparently…)
Fluffy BDSM Erotica.
I'm never going to love Brie, she's not the kind of strong minded heroine that I typically go for. However, Red Phoenix writes her character in such a way that she seems like a shell, easy for the reader to slip into and enter the story.
The writing's not extraordinary, but if you've read this far in the series, you've picked up on the rhythm of Phoenix's style. It makes for a quick read. It's sexy and inventive. Each novella is like hors d'oeuvre; The reader must find their own main course.
I was introduced to the Tantra Chair:
An interesting punishment involving a ball-gag and a bit of dried rice:
"It seemed unreal that something so minuscule could cause such considerable pain."
Some of My Favorite Moments:

If you haven't read the Brie Learns the Art of Submission series, do that first and don't read this review. This series continues where the previous one left of.
Brie goes home with her Master and she's a collared sub in a 24/7 D/s relationship. Everything is new for Brie and she is very eager to please her Master but learn a few important lessons in this first book.
I really enjoyed this book... Sir is the ultimate Dom IMHO. He is strict, but reasonable and super loving as well. Gah!!
I have actually googled the Tantra Chair that they utilize extensively in the book before. Perfect piece of furniture for every bedroom, just a pity it's so damn expensive! I wonder if the author tried one?? :)

"Know that I will think of you as a goddess even as I f*ck you like a slut."
"I love you, babygirl."

"No need to cry,Babygirl. This is just the beginning."
**Sigh*** and what a beginning it was.....
The story begins with Brie and her new Master leaving the Submissive training school and arriving at Masters house and from there things get HOT!! This book is a great continuation, it's sexy,sweet,funny and everything I loved about the first Brie series!! We finally get to see Brie with her new Master and let me tell you he is one Hot Master!!! He is loving, but tough and his Dominance is so sexy!! I really enjoyed reading about the love between them and more importantly the Hot Sex between them!!
I can't wait for the next installment! I highly recommend this book, if you were a fan of The first Brie series, then After Graduation will not disappoint!! And if you are new to the Brie series you will love it!!!

My favourite erotica series is back and it does not fail. The new series continues straight from the last book and follows Brie's new life with her Master. This was an exciting read, I couldn't put it down. There were REALLY hot erotic moments and some really emotional moments. If you loved the previous Brie books there is no doubt you will love this book. I was happy with the ending of the Brie series but I haven't found a BDSM book/series as good since. I didn't realise how much I missed reading Brie until I read the new one, now I cannot wait for the next part to come out! If you are like me and you enjoy reading erotica/BDSM series then you should definitely check out the Brie series by Red Phoenix, it is by far my favourite out of all the erotica I have read.

Another page-turner by Red Phoenix. Brie continues her education as a submissive. Despite a couple of judgement errors on Brie's part, she and Sir are on the road to a wonderful relationship.

Brie pleases her new Master ... most of the time.
Word of Warning: This takes place after the events of Brie Bows to Her Master and/or Brie Learns the Art of Submission: Submissive Training Center so if you haven't read those yet I would suggest you Skeedaddle.
So when last last we saw Miss Bennett she had gone through an emotional time but ending up leaving the room with her New Master. Now we see what happens next.
The great thing about the Submissive Training Center is that Brie got a chance to learn. Now she has to master her new skills... and that isn't always going to be easy.
Pride is a good thing for a slave to have... but not when it prevents her from being properly obedient. Caring is also important... but not when it results in her keeping secrets from her Master.
No major issues but this is very early on the road.

It's nice living in Brie's world again. After finishing the Brie Series i was more than curious to read about her life after she graduated from the training center. I was afraid that after graduation maybe things would get a little boring but none of my fears came true since Brie is living as exciting as ever! I'm eager to continue with the After Graduation series.

Once again Red Phoenix has outdone herself with Brie! In the new after school and beginning her submissive life with Sir Brie has a tremendous amount to learn. There are several trials in this book. And of course you're always wanting more when the story ends. Looking forward to book #2!!! :-)

WOW!
It was so worth the wait! Red Phoenix has created a wonderful continuation of Brie's life outside of the submissive centre with her new master. It's like a coming home with these characters, I fell in love with them again. I'm so pleased that Brie's story will continue!

And Red didn`t disappoint. If you have read Brie´s story at the Submissive Training Center you are going to love After Graduation. I felt bad for Faelan but he saw that coming. The end left me waiting for moreee.!!! I want moreee.!!

Be sure to check out this review and others at www.twinsietalk.blogspot.com, www.facebook.com/twinsietalk or @twinsietalk
Ok Ok soooo I was given this book from the author and I happily accepted because she is amazing!! If you don't already know, I love this author. She is amazingly gifted with the ability to make you, the reader, connect with her heroine Brie. I FEEL like I am Brie whenever I read these stories. Now BEFORE you read this book you need to make sure and read Brie at the Training Center first. This books will take place after she has been collared with her new Master.
Ok so this book is about the first couple days Brie and her new Master have together. She is still very much in the learning process especially since her Master is a very well known and respected Dom. I had a big giggle when Brie and Master were *busy* on the sofa and Master had a phone call....very funny scene with Rytsar on the other end. Man that's a guy I wouldn't getting to know a little bit better *cough cough spin off series cough cough* cuz YUMMY!!! Also as we Red readers know from the first novel, Brie and cooking= epic fail. Again poor Brie tries her hand at cooking and it is a riot....omelets and spaghetti....giggles...Now the part of the book I didn't giggle with was the Wolf!!! UGH let her go Man!! I was a little bit disappointed in Brie for not telling Master about what happened between them this book BUT Brie is such a tender hearted girl. She doesn't want anyone in pain and feel bad for following her heart and breaking his.
I can't wait for the next installment and yup it will be getting a review here because we LOVE LOVE LOVE Red. I hope that you enjoy the series as much as I have and continue to.

I expected it to be great... it was so much better than that to me! I LOVE THIS SERIES!!
Brie's life after the training center and with her new [Master] is just beginning. Her days are more challenging and with much more pleasure than she could have imagined. I loved learning how the 24/7 lifestyle of BDSM is lived. Again, Ms. Phoenix did an exceptional job at conveying this through incredible sex scenes with just the right amount of informative information to make you understand the reasoning behind certain tasks/actions. I thoroughly loved every minute of it!
If you think you may be interested in this story: in reading steamy sex scenes and learning about the BDSM world, I highly recommend you start with "Brie Learns the Art of Submission" first, and enjoy the ride. It's a treat and will leave you wanting more! And if you've already read it.... Run now to pick this book up in the next installment in Brie's life!
I simply cannot wait to continue the journey with her and her Master as they experience their life and love for each other together!
Now if I could only get [Master] out of my thoughts so I can "move on"... Come on Ms. Phoenix... I need the next one NOW!!

Brie Pleases Her New Master by Red Phoenix (After Graduation #1)
★★★★This is a BDSM erotica short coming in around 55 pages.
The is an Amazon freebie.
I always want more. I need to know what happens next. Never fails, I always have questions. So I was so excited the series continues after graduation.
And so it begins... Brie asked for it, and now she has it, a 24/7 BDSM lifestyle. More power to ya Brie, that would drive me absolutely bat shit crazy. Not to mention all the 'best sub I can be,' I don't know if I want to pull my hair out or slap some sense into the girl. But she would enjoy that too much.
This begins right where the last series left off. Brie's living with Master. Brie's murdering the culinary arts. Naive Brie is getting in trouble. Oh, ya, and tons of wicked hot sex.
We learn a bit more about Master's past, but it brings up so many questions. Apparently Ol'Blue Eyes wants his ass handed to him. This may happen sooner than later. And Lea's still telling jokes.
This was a nice way to start off the new series.

Brie, Brie, Brie… *shakes head laughing* What's a girl to do? Stay out of the kitchen, for one thing! Poor Brie & her lack of culinary talent. She could probably burn water.
This is the first novella after her graduation from the Submissive Training Center. Brie's now achieved her goal of becoming a collared submissive. They begin to work out the dynamics of their relationship. Naturally, Brie makes mistakes primarily in her communication skills luckily her Master has extensive experience with submissives. There are a couple of kernels about her Master that we're given that are intriguing. I'm looking forward to future installments to learn more; but, this is just the beginning of their journey.
For a novella it packs a punch & is sexy as all get out. Two words: Tantra Chair. Oh my...

Love it! Brie's story is always so exciting and sexy. I love reading her tales of how she learns and grows as a strong woman...and a submissive. Each book offers sexy new lessons for the reader to enjoy.
The author is very good at showing the details and the emotions of the internal struggles Brie deals with. Brie feels satisfaction in life through pleasing the man she has fallen in love with, it is an urge she feels as strongly as breathing...but she has not had to compromise herself or her dreams along the way.
I have been anxiously awaiting the sexy details to what life holds after the collaring for Sir and Brie, and I have not been disappointed.

Red Phoenix does it again. Brie has finished Submissive school and has gotten collared by her chosen Dom. This story tells you more about the magnificent Thane Davis and how the relationship between a D/s couple works.
Brie makes a the rookie mistakes and we see how "infractions" are corrected. ;-) One choice Brie makes made me so mad I was screaming at my kindle. giggle.
If you have faithfully followed Brie through her schooling you will want to read her further adventures.
Red Phoenix rocks the sex scenes and there are lovely tender moments.I am waiting eagerly for the next chapter.

Awwwww...it is so nice to have Brie and Sir back because I have missed them like crazy! I love how it picked up right where it left off. Great opening to the After Graduation series as they start their D/s relationship. It's already prepping us for some drama and I cannot wait until the next installment. Thank you Red for bringing back my favorite couple!

I am enjoying Brie journey.

The story of Brie and Sir continues this was a quick read for me I can't wait to read the rest I just wish it was all in one.

Love this story of Brie! She is one of my favorite characters!

(Downloaded for free from amazon.co.uk)
I found this fairly boring and dull to be honest. Didn't think much to it at all.

I actually rated this book 4.5 stars.
When “Brie Learns the Art of Submission” – a book you have to read before starting this one – ends we are left with Brie and her chosen Master leaving the graduation event. The elevator doors close and.. “The end”.
I don’t know about anybody else, but there are times when I find myself frustrated when a book ends and we don’t know what happens next. And this was one of those occasions. It is all well and good that Brie ends up with the man she has chosen as her Master, but his initial reluctance, the short time they have known each other and the fact that she has only had a few weeks training as a submissive under her belt left me wondering how this relationship would develop in the real world, away from the training centre.
Don’t get me wrong; I quite enjoy fantasizing about what happens to favourite characters after a book ends, but in this case the possibilities seemed too limitless. And thankfully, I won’t have to rely on my imagination since Red Phoenix is continuing Brie’s story.
And so we see Brie and her new Master, Thane, travelling from the training centre to his impressive apartment where our favourite sub soon learns that although her official training may be over, and she may have finished top of her class, she still has a lot to learn. She may know the general rules when it comes to being a sub, now she has to learn how to apply what she has learned in her everyday relationship with her Master and, more importantly, his personal desires and requirements.
Things get off to a promising start with both Master and sub delighted to be together and enjoy what they bring to their relationship. The depth of Master’s feelings for Brie becomes very clear when he decides to call her Téa, which is Italian for angel. And when her Master tells Brie some painful details about his past it becomes very clear that he loves and trusts her. Things get more complicated though when Faelan approaches Brie and she decides to keep the encounter to herself. Brie still has a lot to learn and her first lesson is that no punishment is more painful than the act of disappointing her Master is.
I have to say I really love Brie’s journey. Apart from the fact that these stories are well written with credible characters and an imaginative story-line I adore the way in which the reader is allowed to be part of Brie’s development.
I’m impressed with the way Red Phoenix manages to show real character development and growth in a story that is mainly sex-driven. It was impossible for me not to get involved in and touched by Brie’s emotions, discoveries and soul searching. Brie’s actions are credible and understandable and it is wonderful to watch her work out exactly what her Master wants and expects from her.
I’m still not, and probably never will be, a huge fan of books delivered in instalments. Some stories however are too enticing to wait until the full book is available. And Brie’s life with her new Master is one of those stories that will have me buying the separate parts, against my better judgement.

And when her Master tells Brie some painful details about his past it becomes very clear that he loves and trusts her. Things get more complicated though when Faelan approaches Brie and she decides to keep the encounter to herself. Brie still has a lot to learn and her first lesson is that no punishment is more painful than the act of disappointing her Master is.
I have to say I really love Brie’s journey. Apart from the fact that these stories are well written with credible characters and an imaginative story-line I adore the way in which the reader is allowed to be part of Brie’s development.
I’m impressed with the way Red Phoenix manages to show real character development and growth in a story that is mainly sex-driven. It was impossible for me not to get involved in and touched by Brie’s emotions, discoveries and soul searching. Brie’s actions are credible and understandable and it is wonderful to watch her work out exactly what her Master wants and expects from her.
I’m still not, and probably never will be, a huge fan of books delivered in instalments. Some stories however are too enticing to wait until the full book is available. And Brie’s life with her new Master is one of those stories that will have me buying the separate parts, against my better judgement.

Alright, I have to first off say that I got this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review..
I love these books! this book starts off where the rest left off. Brie is now collared and is off on her new adventure :)
Brie has to learn fast about the new rules of living with a Dom, and what the new lifestyle will bring. one day while at work, Brie will encounter her old teacher and she has to make a choice..... Tell her new master or give in to temptation... this book does leave off with a cliffhanger.. be prepared!

I love the story and everything about it. There were scenes in the book I found uncomfortable but that's what is great, it challenged my imagination to see what I could handle. My only qualms is 1. apparently the editor made a few sentences backwards by misplacing a word and ingested is not injested. That can turn off an avid reader. 2.I was confused in certain situations where Brie would think something but in telling her story changes. *spoiler here* one example is when Wallace bumps into her and she doesn't want to tell sir bc it could ruin his day but when asked by sir she has a completely different take.....what's the true reason? Conflicting emotions like I said things like that can turn a reader off and go in search of similar novels where they hope these writing issues dont exist, however the authors talent is quite obvious while she just needs a more experienced editor or even an amateur editor willing to really rake through the pages and critique from a readers point of view .

Wow…What a read. The story starts with the closing of the elevator doors at the Submissive Training Center. Brie is taken to her new Master’s home and things just get hotter. This is a great extension of the Training Center series. We get more of Brie & her Master, both of who we fell n love with in the first series.
We get to see how they interact with each other out side of the training center. The love and respect that we see in this book is enthralling. Brie learned a lot at the training center, but now she must learn the specific expectations of her new master, and her longing to please him is heart warming.
“The only thing I care about is pleasing you, to be worthy of your domination.”
If you read the first series then I highly recommend you continue along with Brie & her new Master in this novella. I can’t wait for the next installment. That’s the only problem I have, I can’t practice enough patience between the installments.

This book continues right where the last Training Academy book finishes, with Brie and her new Master in the elevator after she has officially been collared. We get to follow Brie on her journey of becoming a sub as she begins her new relationship with Sir.
I still have a hard time believing how much I adore this series! It is everything I have always wanted in this type of book; fascinating characters, and interesting story, and lots and lots of hot sex (of course :P). Red Phoenix has this way about her writing that is just so unbelievably sexy without sounding trite or corny. It's fantastic. This was basically a short book, and I tore through it pretty fast not only because of the length but because I truly cared about what Brie got to experience next. Additionally, it was very educational as well, since it dove even deeper into the Dominant/submissive world.
I would highly recommend this book, but only after reading the preceding Training Academy series.

I've been buying each installment of this series since it came out but was just barely able to start reading it and once I did I went through all that were available (6) in about 3 days.
I absolutely love that After Graduation literally picked up right after graduation when the elevator doors close after the first book. I must admit I didn't really like Sir for most of the first book but as it neared the end of the Brie series I started liking him more. THIS series definitely has me liking him more! We get to see some character development with Thane and learn some of the things in his past that have made him who he is.
The reintroduction to Faelen was expected but the situation surrounding his return was an interesting, and not at all expected, turn of events and it's especially interesting to see how his presence affects the dynamic of Brie and Sir's very green relationship.
Minor spelling errors throughout and a couple incorrect words but nothing that took me away from the story.
I love Red Phoenix!!
