Kindle Edition (edit)
review Every once in a while you come across novels that move you, that make you think, and that stay with you even after the last page has been read.
The Collar of Freedom is one such book. And the play with words...fantastic! Since when was freedom collared? Not until this book, definitely!
Alexander and Amelia are two people that make one hot couple. There is a lot of angst in this story, a loveless marriage, a man obsessed with a woman he knows belongs to him, steamy scenes that not even a cold shower will diffuse. Ms I doesn't shy away from writing about the repercussions of Amelia's or Alexander's actions, how this affair had a ripple effect that causes a lot of internal conflict. It is how they resolve it so that they can be together is what drives part of the story. There are other subplots that beg answers and I am sure that all will be revealed in the second book (which is a very long wait - December yet!)
A very good erotic romance, I look forward to reading the continuation of Alexander and Amelia's story. In the meantime, I shall get Ms I's other books and lose myself in her characters' lives.

Two in one books equal double the hotness. I feel hot already knowing that I have my monthly period and at the same time on my stomach by the front of the fireplace. How lucky a reader to own these books The Collar of Sacrifice and The Collar Of Freedom.
Both of these books will keep you pant with sexiness. It also very emotional books to read. There is pleasure and adventures role into one. You will also learn family problems that these two families unite into one. You will love the Collar Of Duet. You might yell, cry, scream but fall in-love with Alexander and Amelia and their blended families. It might be helpful to read with air or fan on, just a warning, it is so hot and that you might get soak.

The Collar of Freedom
Amelia is merely existing in her loveless marriage, going one day to the next. But in walks her new boss, causing fireworks, and making Amelia really think about her lacklustre marriage.
The characters are well written, and have depth and complexity. The storyline is good. Alexandra I writes hot and steamy scenes well - there's plenty of heat and chemistry between Amelia and Alexander.
The Collar of Sacrifice
The second book is fast paced, with steamy sex scenes, and a bit of intrigue and drama. Alexander continues to be protective (and secretive), and Amelia comes alive now that she is away from her dull existence with her husband. We see more of the children in this book too.
I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Hotness with suspense! Amelia is not a true submissive... that's for sure. lol At least she's getting kinky with time. She is one patient girl to deal with her crazy ex-husband and her lover's past that is haunting them now. You had me sitting at the edge of my bed with Kindle in hand. I was so drawn to what would happen next that I didn't realize my husband had closed the lights and started snoring next to me! I'm like a moth to a flame when it comes to your books Alexandra. This is one duet that I will never forget! Hot ;)

Alexandra I, lets her sexy imagination loose in her sexy erotic 2 book duet The Collar of Freedom and The Collar of Sacrifice. I was impressed with how real and yet idealistic she was able to make the story feel. Can't help but be touched by and feel the characters and the story they tell. Neither character is perfect and you are happy and angry with both at times. I have enjoyed both The Collar Duet and Flashburn by Alexandra I, she is a fun, sexy, and inspiring author who you can relate a lot with through her characters and her own personality. I can not wait to see what she creates next!

I am totally speechless. This book was eye opening. It shows how a women in a loveless marriage stays for the children. No happiness, no shared live, and definitely lonely in her marriage. Amelia then meets Alexander. The name says it all. Very fit, wealthy, and Dominant.
Alexandra really shows the freedom people who are lost souls can meet and know they are meant to be.
I really enjoyed reading this book.
This takes you on a journey of finding yourself ,being true to yourself, and make yourself happy!!!

I enjoyed the combination of the books. I found book two contained more angst and strong emotions from the characters. Book one dealt with the budding relationship and book two dealt more with the deeper stories of the character's lives.
In my opinion the books can easily stand alone and the writing is excellent. There is some violence and explicit sex scenes.

The Collar of Freedom plunges you into an unrelenting maelstrom of power, pain, and all-consuming desire—this is not a book for the faint-hearted. Iff turns the tension up to eleven with gut-wrenching psychological depth and raw sensuality that feels as necessary as breath. The chemistry between Alexander and Amelia burns hotter than ever, evolving from dangerous to intoxicating with every hidden glance and fractured touch.
Alexandra’s writing is visceral, conflicted, and utterly addictive. The Collar of Freedom doesn't just push boundaries—it annihilates them, leaving you bruised, breathless, and utterly bewitched.
The Collar of Sacrifice is a brutal, breathtaking continuation of Amelia and Alexander’s dark, tangled journey—richer in emotional torment and even more unapologetically raw than book one. Alexandra Iff digs deeper into the scars beneath the desire, forcing both characters to face truths that cut as sharply as the dominance they crave. The power dynamic is razor-thin and constantly shifting, making every moment feel dangerous, electric, and intimate. Iff’s signature blend of sensuality and psychological warfare is on full display, and her writing—visceral and haunting—makes sure you feel every bruise, every betrayal, and every reluctant confession.

Full of twists and turns.
This book was so full of twists and turns it was unbelievable. Just when u think u understand whats happening, the author throws another spanner in the works.
The story was interesting and very engrossing. It keeps your interest even though some of the sexual aspects are a bit daunting and uncomfortable feeling.
I didnt like how Alexander treated Lia at the beginning. I felt bad for her for everything happening in her life.
Alexander redeemed himself slowly as the story wore on.
Overall an interesting read!!!

Treacherous games are on the horizon.
