Consummate Therapy #1
Submission Therapy
Billionaire CEO of Blakely Incorporated, Natasha runs her empire with an eagle eye for every detail. She’s an obsessive, compulsive, micromanaging hard-ass, consumed by the need to control every aspect of her life and her business.
But underneath that seemingly strong façade, Natasha is a swirling mess of anger, anxiety and sexual addiction. Only her therapist, Dr. Benson, knows how close she is to burning out...or exploding. He insists on a radical form of treatment – Submission Therapy – knowing that it’s her only hope.
Skeptical but intrigued, Natasha agrees to attend the first session. What she finds there is an erotically-charged environment that will forgive none of her habitual bad behavior. And a steely-eyed man who seems to read her every desire - even the ones she won’t admit to herself.
Will Natasha learn what it means to submit? Or will she allow her brittle pride to rob her of what she truly needs?

Natasha Blakely is a hugely successful business woman with a Type A personality and mega control issues. She has crushed a lot of people as she ruthlessly climbed the success ladder and she has no regrets. If she was a man, people would say she was focused and driven. As it is, she’s labeled a “B” and quite frankly she agrees. Unfortunately, her personal life doesn’t mirror her business success. She has an ulcer, anxiety attacks, momentary blackouts and chest pains. She’s a hot-mess in need of a miracle. Dr. Benson, her psychiatrist, has done all he can to help her. As a last resort, he recommends a radical treatment for her…Submission Therapy and he sends her to see the mysterious Master Sweet. I love that name…Master Sweet, it invokes so many kinky thoughts.
To make a long story short, Master Sweet has just what the doctor ordered for the stubborn and uber-bratty Natasha. He uses a no nonsense approach and a firm hand on her lush bottom to command her attention and ultimately her respect. Master Sweet teaches her it’s ok to let go and give up some of her tightly held control. The entire experience is liberating for her and it ends with Master Sweet administering a hard, throbbing injection of his liquid essence deep inside her core.
This is a short book and a fun, easy read. It flows well and the conclusion is climatic. When I finished reading the last word, I starting making a list people I know who would benefit from Submission Therapy. I wonder if Master Sweet gives kick-backs for referrals.

A spanking good time. Master Sweet can correct me any day!

I swear I wanted to jump in the book and dominate that woman a little. She was one class A bitch and everything for the moment seems perfect, but will she do as she is told?
That is the question you must ask yourself while reading this book. Are you so wrapped up in your own needs and wants to understand that it might actually be hurting you in the end.
Controlling everything in her world was all she knew, and Abi and Rozlyn bring you into the world of domination and your feelings come with it. But will you feel sorry for Christina or will you think it's about time someone puts her in her place.
Until Next Time... Tabi

All I can say is WOW.
"Submission Therapy" is one of the best BDSM novellas that I have ever read. Natasha is a very powerful woman with an intense past, her way of coping with that past is buy abusing her power as a high ranking business woman. Never has she taken all of the stress in her life under consideration until her therapist admits there is nothing else he can do for her. That is where the help of Master Sweet come in, with only a business card and a hotel room number Natasha is led into a completely new world of submission and understanding.
Now this girl can take a spanking. Not only did I love the concept behind this book but also am an instant fan of Natasha and Master Sweet's relationship. With an unbelievable talent for writing this dynamic duo has created a world that unleashes some of the deepest desires in its readers, and especially In me. Though this book may have what seems to be sex as the main theme but that isn't the point behind this story. But wowza these sex scenes are sure to heat up your life. The fact that "Submission Therapy" had a main theme that branched beyond the main idea of smutty sex had me completely addicted to this "couples" story. I am fully looking forward to reading each and every lesson Master Sweet has to offer! Book 2 here I come!
If you are a fan of BDSM and a truly heightened sexual experience in your books than this is most definitely a book for you!
But I do have a few words of CAUTION if you have never read any BDSM before this book may be a bit of a shock to you. My main suggestion is to fully understand what you are getting into before you delve into the pages of "Submission Therapy". This book contains punishment in the form of spanking and some bondage. Now if you are prepared for these activities than I'm sure you will LOVE the first installment in Natasha's path to acceptance.

I received this book from the authors for a truthful review.
I must say that I am a big fan of the BDSM type books and have read a fair share thanks to a certain "trilogy" that I will not name here. I found I enjoy reading BDSM along with many other types of books. When the authors asked our blog to review the series we jumped. When I initially started reading the books I thought the "technical" writing about BDSM was good but I didn't feel the emotional connection with the characters. However, as the series continued I totally did!!!
Natasha is your typical beeotch who is all consumed with money, status and making everyone feel like crap basically. She has been through years of therapy and seems to have met her match with her current therapist Dr. Benson. He tells her to go to a hotel within an hour and she will try a new therapy. Well stubborn, strong willed Natasha does and gets schooled by Master Sweet. The series is through Natasha's eyes. She is given orders by Master Sweet and soon learns alot about herself through following and not following his orders....Silly Natasha for not following his orders.......
I did enjoy the series as a whole and would recommend to anyone who is looking for a quick read. All three of the books were 104 nook pages.

Wow. This is my first read from these two authors and I was pleasantly surprised.
I'm not into BDSM. I'm the sort of person who likes to think that if you spank my ass, I will punch you in the face. But I really connected with the protagonist in this story, even though it was only a tiny read.
Natasha is dealing with health issues because she has so much pressure and stress. She has no one to rely on, no one she can trust to do a job to the extent she could do it, so her health is deteriorating from the heavy workload. Well hello, Jodie. Someone just wrote a book about you!
So after a heap of therapy that doesn't help, her therapist gives her a final option. Go to 'Master Sweet'.
What follows is the initial stages of a dom introducing himself to a sub...the hard way. Natasha can't give up control and receives punishment straight away because of it.
Even though this was a very quick read, I really enjoyed it. More so because I kept wondering if it would help my crazy ass problems with stress.
It was well written, and although this isn't about love and romance, but straight up dominance and submission, I really enjoyed it.

WOW Katie and Willsin have went and done it again. They have created a fantastic short story that will leave you begging for more. The positive thing is we will not have to wait long. Ladies you will all want to sign up for therapy with Master Sweet. and gentlemen Natasha may be a bitch but she knows when she deserves to be punished and takes her punishment with stride.
I think Katie and Willsin have found their niche co-writing these erotics together each short they put out gets better and better, and this was a SPANKING GOOD READ.
In this short story ( Submission Therapy ) which is part 1 of a 3 part story. Natasha is in counseling for her obsession or shall we say sexual appetite and dominating attitude . When things do not seem to be working Natasha's doctor, decides that she needs further therapy and sends her to see Master Sweet. Natasha soon learns to let go. She is a fast learner but still needs a lot of therapy so stay tuned I will bring you more of Natasha's Therapy Sessions.

I have seen a lot of positive reviews for Katie Salidas, but this was the first book I have read of hers. I loved it! Cant wait to read more from this series!! The only thing that bothered me was that it was too short, I would have liked to have been able to read more, for the author(s) to have been a little more in depth with the characters. However, it was still a really captivating read and left me wanting more!
Natasha is a sex addict who feels the need to be in control, the need to step on every one else, the need to be on top and successful. Even with all her success and money, Natasha still felt something was missing in her life. She suffers from severe anxiety and has trouble submitting to others. After going through one therapist after another, she is at her last resort. Radical Therapy. Master Sweet is ready to break Natasha of all her control, but Natasha is not going to submit easily. She has been in control for too long to just let anyone take away the wall she has built.

Rich and ruthless woman tycoon attends therapy to find out what is missing in her life. The treatment is worthless as she uses up one therapist after another, one partner after another also. She is at the point where the stress of her manufactured world may kill her as she accepts an offer of help in a sketchy rendezvous.
This story is novella length or less and I will reveal no more of it here. I don't usually read this particular kind of erotica and after reading this one I still do not see it becoming a regular in my 'to be read' pile.
The editing is excellent and there were really no plot holes left untended so I will recommend this to readers who enjoy bondage, doms and subs.

This is a short story that deals with some BDSM. It makes a woman that has to have control all the time give in and let's someone else be in charge.
Natasha is a CEO of a company. Everything has to go the way she wants it to. She is so bad that she has to see a therapist. Dr. Benson has tried everything and the last thing that he knows to try it Submission Therapy.
Master Sweet is a man that takes control and doesn't care what you say. It's like he knows what you need and gives you what you don't want to admit. He gives Natasha everything that she needs and makes her admit that she needs someone else to be in control and she just take what is given out to her.
This was a book that is hot and exciting. I was glad that I took the time to read it.

4.5 Stars! I thoroughly enjoyed the fast pace and the intensity of this story. There was a genuine reason for the Dom/sub relationship between Natasha and Master Sweet and I think, for me, that’s what set this story above the plethora of BDSM books out there right now. The characters were well developed and interesting and I was quickly drawn into their story from the very first page. My one complaint was that it was too short, but luckily I had the next instalment (Occupational Therapy) ready to go!

A very Hot & Fabulous start to a new series! Natasha is a straight up hard ass and a powerful woman in her own right. But with so much responsibility on her shoulders because she is an absolute control freak she gives herself anxiety attacks and ulcers. Master Sweet is going to help her relieve some of that stress and teach her how to release control and show her true submissive nature outside the corporate world. A short sizzling read that is broken down into 3 books but now being offered as a full book. Since this was the first book & it was free, I thought I'd give it try. Loved it and definitely going to purchase the full book!

This incredible story has me split in two! I loved it with a capital L, and that’s something you don’t hear me say all the time. But I did not like the heroine, Natasha. No amount of neglectful past, daddy’s issues, or panic attacks, could gain my sympathy. The woman was a bitch, and I wanted to slap her across her face. *Takes a deep breath.* That being said, any story that could garner that sort of response is well-written indeed. Willsin Rowe and Katie Salidas crafted an erotic tale that will keep you riveted, and eager to turn the page and find out what will happen next!

While I'm not into BDSM, or into reading erotica, I thought this short novella was very well-written and quite engaging. Kudos to Salidas and Rowe for their ability to weave a good story with a high focus on characterization. There was only one point, toward the end of the tale I felt became a bit 'preachy' in explaining the functionality of BDSM methods, and defending the psychology behind the choice to participate. However, I feel that if you love erotica stories centered around BDSM, this would be a winner!

This is my first BDSM type book with a male writer. I really think Katie Salidas and Willin Rowe did a great job together. Unexpected emotional, sexy story line that not only changed Natasha's life but taught me a lesson as well. I have meet people like Natasha, heck I use to be like her to some extent.
My favorite expression is "A Dom is not someone who has experienced a life of riches. He's a man whose life is rich with experiences." Priceless.......

In a literary diet that currently includes Middlemarch and Plato, I suppose there's no shame in enjoying a small bag of sweets such as this. A quick read. The "plot twist" is too obvious for me to enjoy, but I did enjoy the relationship between the main characters. I like that the authors portray D/s as transformative and mutually enriching. Not bad. Just ok.
November 18, 2012
A hot read for sure! When her therapist gives her one last chance, she takes a chance and visits the strange Master Sweet. During his therapy session, what she discovers about herself changes her life.
January 21, 2013
I love stories with a strong voice, and this one definitely had it. By the time our overworked stressed out control freak protagonist enters the room of Master Sweet, you are ready to spank her yourself!
April 15, 2013
Short novella=quick read which I usually enjoy to fill a short amount of free time. This wasn't a bad read, but I just didn't connect to the characters. Maybe they piece together a little more in the next book of the series, but it just didn't quite do it for me.
June 6, 2013
Quick read ! I enjoyed this short novella . It was really interesting to see who her master was and I will be more interested to see how their relationship continues to develop in both ways of their new arrangement .

I don't know how this has so many positive reviews. It was basically a short spanking story. The chemistry wasn't there. Not a fan.
