A Powerful Love Story!

“ With your body and your touch, teach me once more… ”

As a submissive, Brie knows all about control. The beauty of giving her power to another satisfies her soul. But she has made powerful enemies, and one of them has come to claim her.

Brie comes to question everything she knows when her power is stripped away and the once strong condor is reduced to a songbird.

But nothing is as fierce as her mate—and he will stop at nothing until he finds her!

Brie knows the love of a condor never falters, and the bonds of the Training Center last a lifetime. She will depend on both as she revisits her past teachers to gain clarity and strength.

Ready to face her greatest challenge, Brie must fight hard to reclaim her power and soar once again.

5 Star Review of Whispered Promises (Brie’s Submission #24) by Red Phoenix

I have read a number of books in this series and to me these group of characters have become like family to me. This was an emotional read that had me feeling as though I was on a roller coaster. I love Brie, Sir, Rystar and all their friends. they hold a special place in my heart and I was hooked on the story.
Circumstances see Brie in conflict and her Sir will face his greatest challenge as he tries to bring her back . There was steam and heat, heart and soul woven throughout Whispered Promises. There were times where I wanted to scream, sighed, cried and was on the edge of my seat whilst reading.
This is one of those books that you need to experience for yourselves. It is the emotional connection between Brie and Sir that elevates this book to another level.

Red Phoenix does it again. This book continues to follow Brie and her family. I won’t go into details but I laughed, cried, felt scared and angry and then pure joy. I can not wait to see what happens next. I feel as though this cast of characters are my friends and family and only Red Phoenix can do that. I’m in love with half this book the other half I want to shake!!! Lol but again it has all the feels and the amazing love throughout. I truly cannot wait to see what’s next for our gang. Ugh it kills me that I can’t share even a sprinkle of what’s in the book but you will just have to trust me this is a MUST read! But be sure to have vodka at the ready with pickles, tissues, a towel, and maybe even a bag a rice!

Red Phoenix has the ability to take you on an emotional roller coaster ride with her books. There was anger, tears, laughter and passion just to name a few of the emotions this book evoked. The trauma that was endured and how it affected the different individuals, the sacrifice that was willing to be made in the name of love and family. This is more than just a community. A must read.

I could not read this fast enough! Normally I try to drag out and savor a book by Red Phoenix because I do not want the journey to end too soon, but this one kept me on the edge of my seat and I just wanted to read faster to see what was going to happen next. I don't want to spoil anything about what you are going to experience reading this book. I will only say that it is wonderful, it has all of our favorite characters from the Brie world and the ending will leave you wanting more!

This amazing story will take your breath away and have you yearning for more. There is nothing short of pure feelings when you read one of Red Phoenix's books. Whispered Promises picks up where we last left off with Brie being taken by Mr. Halloway. After being saved along with Mary, Brie must learn to trust everything again. Each member of the training center who helped Brie in the beginning give her lessons and its just amazing. This book had an amazing ending that leaves you begging for more.
I am leaving my honest voluntary review for a copy of the book I received.

Red does it yet again. The journey we go on with Bri and her made family is exhilarating, emotional, worrisome and one I never want to end. I experienced so many emotions while reading Whispered Promises. I had highs and lows. I was yelling at characters, in awe of the love and strength within the community and was misty eyed a time or two. All the little reminders of past encounters brought back fond memories and make me want to go back a read them all again. One of the strongest books in the series-with the characters growth, inner strength, support and even their fumbles.

So much happens in this story, some of it not good. With that said, I am so glad to read these sensitive subjects told by Red Phoenix because the scenes are not graphic like, say, a dark romance author would write them. There were many shocking revelations in this book, I lost count of how many times I gasped out loud. My favorite quote: "...he reclaimed his beloved submissive." I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Another beautiful story from Red Phoenix. I feel this book was very deep. This book starts out really intense and then slows down so that you can really feel everything that Brie is feeling. I really felt Bries growth during this book. She’s more then just a wife and mother. She’s a condor.

Red does it again! I loved this story. The beginning was difficult to read. I had faith Sir would find Brie! After the rescue Brie begins the path to recovery. I loved how Brie revisited the trainers to work through her recovery. The scenes were beautifully done. My favorite of course was Rytsar!! The big reveal at the end of the story has me excited for the next story!!

Fell flat…..

Take my breath away …. Let the fireworks begin … yeah nah
This is what the last book promised ….I still have my breath and what fireworks !!!!!
It pains me to only give this 3 stars , but I have to be truthful. I don’t know if the author is realising there’s not too much left in this series going forward …. Which is perfectly fine considering how many books have made the series and what an amazing journey we’ve all been on with Brie. What used to be a spicy series that you read in the privacy of your home where you could squeeze your thighs together , now can be read on a crowded train knowing people are looking over your shoulder. Sir ( as much as it pains me to admit ) has gone soft and the sexy Dom has clearly gone holidaying in Ibiza !! Even his way with words is starting to get 🤮, and therefore Bries character is changing too. I understand that characters grow and evolve … but these two are turning into a typical suburban couple . The only sizzle that came out of nowhere was a quickie before the parents arrived and that shocked me that Sir did that . It’s become ‘out of character’ for him to act like that. When did this happen ??
Of course it was great to see other old friends pop in even if their exchanges with Brie were subtle .. though I get why. Maybe a shocking mix up could have ignited some sizzle ….
Like Faelan losing his mind for a moment and going to town on Brie ( which ultimately they both enjoyed ) instead of a subtle feather . Maybe recreating the collar ceremony exchange would have added some heat !! Though I must admit Baron getting touchy feely was a lovely surprise.
The beginning of the book had so much promise , a kidnapping that I thought Brie was really going to struggle to get out of… but as usual , she’s rescued out of nowhere physically unscathed . How has she remained unscarred when others have lost limbs and wear scars and other war wounds proudly ? I get you can’t ‘see’ psychological !!
Faelan needs some good luck and some happiness. Mary needs to take a long holiday to Siberia & personally take out Lily and then stay there. Rytstar… well for someone so sadistic and blood thirsty why he hasn’t just snapped Lilys neck blows my mind. Now an innocent nuns life hangs in the balance for what ? Brie would never have to know he killed her & she would be forever safe …. Brie doesn’t know ALL of his secrets , so I don’t understand why Lily is still living .
I have preordered the upcoming books . I’m not bailing on this ship… I’m just fingers crossed that some spice that drew us all in at the beginning makes a return and ignites some characters ho-hum personalities.

I really hate to review a book in this series with anything less than four stars, but this one, nearing the end of the series I hope, just didn't cut it.

In the previous books, while the dialogue could be stilted, most times it made sense (lest we forget Rytsar discussing Brie with her doctor, etc), but this time, no just no. She's kidnapped, and I expected her to use her brain to survive Holloway, instead she's rescued out of nowhere.

Then we have Lily, and everyone's refusal to just kill her and get it over with. But wait, if you kill her, the plot of Lily threatening Brie, again, can't go forward. Someone, Mary or Rytsar needs to kill her, but I understand why it won't happen, or at least not soon. Hopefully, that will be the finale of this series, she certainly deserves to be dead.

In the previous books, we saw the characters interact. And in those earlier books, that interaction was closer to family than this one. Sir's speech is predictable, which is a shame, since his words in previous books held weight. Now, I just got the feeling he was phoning it in.

Despite the action in the plot, the book fell flat. It didn't excite me, it didn't have fireworks, it didn't make me hold my breath waiting for the next page. Instead, there appeared to be very little left in this story upon which to build. The book promised a lot and didn't deliver on it. The sex and spice that the previous books had wasn't here in this book. These are no longer Doms the way that they were written in the previous books. Its sort of like Sir had a personality transplant somewhere along the way, and there's no sizzle left to him. In the past, the sex between the two has been satisfying and appropriate. This time, Brie and Sir's interactions surprised me. They were far more mainstream couple than I expected them to be. I started to read this series for the steam, heat, and excitement. But this time, while there was some, it just wasn't enough. Yes, I know - psychologically, Sir is trying to heal Brie. Been there and understand it. But it just didn't seem realistic.

Like others, I will always read this series, but I pray that some of the spice, some of the breathlessness, and some of the excitement will be back in the next book. Thank you to the author for offering it on KU!

This is one of the most emotionally moving books I have every read. Each chapter brings a new love for the characters. The way Red writes brings these fictional people to life. You, become attached to each one of them , Each book leaves wanting to learn more about them, this book is no different. All I can say is if you are new to Brie's world start at the beginning. build you a Brie kit(tissues, snacks, a blanket, and a towel(you will understand after the first book)) and have it ready for each new book. I love the different emotions I feel in one book.

Whispered Promises

Holy cow! For the past 2 weeks I have lived in the world that is Brie and Sir’s life!
This book, by far, blew me away! Literally, the first half of the book will not only churn your stomach but grip your heart and leave you breathless! I read the first half of the book in 3 hours, devouring every word on bated breath! This book had a different feel to it right from the beginning and I can’t believe after 23 books this storyline is just as compelling to me as it was when I read book one.
If you haven’t tried the Brie Series yet - what are you waiting for?? Because I m not ready to leave this world yet, I’m going to choose another book even though the Brie Series is done for the time being! I can’t wait for the next book! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Brie struggles hard in this book...the whispers of an evil man threaten to overtake the whisper of caresses and love from the men in her life. Can love triumph over pain? Can Brie fight to regain her confidence as a submissive woman? This book is a must read!!! You will be taken along the journey of the depths of evil and follow the emotional renewal of hope, trust and love. This is Red Phoenix's best novel yet!

This series never fails to take me through a full range of emotions. I want to cry, scream, rage, laugh, swoon, melt, and every other feeling you can have while reading these and this one was no exception.
Brie and Mary are in danger and it will take all of our family of the Submissive Training Center to save them.
Once the immediate threat is over, however, we still need our Doms to step in and put things back to right.

Damn Red Phoenix did it again. This book had me on pins and needles from the beginning. I cried in sadness and in joy. If I didn't have to do things like work, sleep and just cook dinner for my family I wouldn't have put it down. I did that reluctantly as it was. I didn't want it to end. Can't wait for more.

I've been with Bree from her first meeting with Sir in the tobacco shop to this story.
I have to say this one was up there with the most powerful ones for me.
From the very first page to the aftershocks it has been told with passion and insight.
And as always the Institute community closed ranks around one of theirs and saved the day.
But that ending makes me very nervous ... !

This book is amazing! It’s scary and emotional and will have you holding your breath, plotting murders and scared to read the next page but wanting to at the same time. It show that what you experience doesn’t magically go away when things get better. Thane shows his true self and fights for Brie when things get tough and helps her heal. The other Dominants of the community play an important part in helping Brie reclaim a part of herself she thought she had lost. Red Phoenix has written a beautiful book and gave me a phrase I needed at this time…”You are much stronger than you give yourself credit for.” I needed to hear this and will remember this as life goes on. Grab this book and see what’s going on in Brie’s life. It’s a must read.

How do you describe a book that has a profound effect on you? I am a loyal Brie fan and have read every book in this series as well as the spin offs. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of them but none of them I feel compare to this book. I will be honest I wasn't sure where it was all going from how it started but the author did everything justice. I cried a lot with this book from sad to happy tears! Brie get's put through a lot in this book and her Master is there for her. You get to see all of your favorite characters and relive the effects they had on her from the beginning of the series. I literally fell ion love with this series all over again. If you haven't picked up this series I highly recommend it and I guarantee you will binge the entire thing!

Wow!!! Red Phoenix has not just done it again, she has surpassed herself with this book!!! The intense emotions in this book were phenomenal. I cried and laughed with Brie on this leg of her journey. The way her BDSM family come together in her times of need never ceases to amaze me. And just as you think your rollercoaster ride is finished...Red slams you with another unexpected loop!! I am now fervently waiting for the next book to come out.

I received a free ARC copy from the author and freely give my review.

WOW WOW WOW... While this is still the Brie and gang we love, it's also so much more. Red has really gone deep and dark with this one. It's so different from the usual Brie but also I think SO MUCH BETTER! It's painful, raw and dark, but also full of love, strength and friendship, as we go through the unthinkable with Brie and Mary and come out the other side. Dinged, dented and a little worse for wear but strong in the love of the Sub School family.

Must Read

This is book 24 in Brie’s submission (wow) I am actually someone who would say to you “nope I’m not reading a series with 24 books that’s just too damn long”
However I have been engrossed with these characters from book 1 they actually feel like real people that I know so well, which proves Red is a great author to keep me coming back to every new book.
The way the last book ended we knew trouble was coming and we knew who the bad guy was but damn that man was evil personified, and Mary never let on what he was doing to her 😢
This book has brilliantly covered what trauma looks like and how with the help of loved ones you can get better day by day.
The whole gang coming out in support melted my heart and Captain & Candy are perfect for Mary and I do love her spunky attitude, the bit where Brie came to visit was so touching and both thought the other was mad.
Lea just lights up the room and everyone should have a Lea in their lives, I actually picture her like a blonde big busted energiser bunny always on the go and bouncing her way through life.
Sir is just the kind of man all women want as he is not only sexy and handsome but so loving, caring and supportive of Brie’s needs and he does love his kids.
I knew what Rytsar was doing… I just knew it as nothing else would have kept him away from Brie.
Great storyline again and the only thing I would have liked to see in this book is Sir’s POV, imagine his thoughts and feelings for those 8 days that I would have loved to have read.
I know these books are about Brie but personally now we are 24 books in and know these characters inside out I would love the next books to be from both Sir & Brie’s POV.
Looking forward to the next book.

Whispered Promises by Red Phoenix

I was given this book by the author for an honest review.
Wow, Ok so this book was a big departure from what we expect with this series. I admit it started pretty dark and had dark themes through the first few chapters. I admit I was a bit shocked the series went so dark because one of the things I love about this series is the light-hearted nature and love elements of it. There are dark elements like when we deal with Lilly and the fighting Faelan and Rytsar had in Russia but this…this was a lot to take in. So I guess be ready for dark and heavy in the first few chapters.

The rest of the book is dealing with the aftermath of the abuse and horror we witnessed in the beginning chapters. I loved the way Sir helps Brie but also invites her friends to also help her recover from what happened. I admit I am really hoping for what is to come with Mary and a possible story line. I loved seeing Faelan again and healing himself. Knowing how he and Thane are were plus the past with he and Brie added to the storyline. Tono and Master Anderson are ALWAYS welcome especially seeing the story line ARC for Master Anderson and Shay.

I am curious what will happen in the next book for sure and to see what Asher has to say at the end of the book.

I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.
This was a bit rough for me in the beginning because it was a lot darker than anything I have read of Red’s. I enjoy the loving supporting family style I am used to with this series and the first few chapters was a bit of a shock. As the story when one I started to enjoy where it was going.
Brie endured a lot in the beginning of the book. Sir and Brie’s friends and family do what they can to support her and help her overcome what happened. We get to see most of the Doms and see how their skills help Brie. I do love seeing all the characters and their families. Sir shows so much compassion and understanding throughout this story. I liked that we got to see a lighter side of Sir when he and Master Anderson get together. It makes my heart happy to see Faelan and how he is doing.
This story took me on a path I didn’t think I was ready for but to see how Brie was able to endure and overcome everything will everyone’s help was heartwarming. No matter what horrors occur this family always supports and all end up stronger for it. They all truly join together to help each other out no matter who it is that needs help or what needs to do to help them through their ordeal. I am intrigued to see where the next story takes us.

When darkness threatens to swallow the light.

Wow, talk about a heart pounding,nail biting beginning! The diabolical evilness of Greg Holloway and his colleagues was intense. You could feel it with every word, sentence and paragraph read. The scene with Brie and Mary together with Greg was terrifying.

I thought the way all their friends came to the rescue and supported them as they worked through the trama was wonderfully written. It was wonderful how once again Captain and Candy embraced Mary.

Of course Lea is a bowl of goofy sunshine that everyone needs in their life even Mary.

Sir was once again her strength in some of the most difficult weeks and months of her life.

At first I was disappointed that Rytsar wasn't there but then his reasons were revealed and everything fell into place.

And Master Anderson side story was a breath of fresh air. I enjoyed seeing some of my old favorites pop up in this book. Faelan, Captain, Candy, Baron,Titov,Tono, Marquis Gray and Shadow 🐈‍⬛️ the inquisitive black cat.

The storyline was great as usual but I think it could of been even better if we could of had Sir's POV while she was being held captive. I hope to see a storyline about Mary in the future because if anyone deserves one it would definitely be her.

I’ve read every book so far, that Red Phoenix has written, and I can honestly say… I’ve not been disappointed by any of her written works. They are gut wrenching, soul changing, and emotional rollercoasters...
This story is dark, and gritty… but that’s what I love about Red’s books, she throws in the most unimaginable things that can happen, but are realistic to some ppl in this world. And the build on how to conquer those scenarios, for each of her characters. Its mind boggling but very much appreciated. We get to see many of the most beloved character… Brie, Sir, Rytsar, Master Anderson, Tono, and a so many more. So beautiful, seeing the build of this story…
Now this is the continuation story of Brie and Than (Sir). I love the two, their story is so impactful. Watching/reading about them growing, evolving, and going through the trials of life. It’s just beautiful. These two characters are very strong and beautiful together. Condors in human form.
I look forward to her next book in this series, because the ending…. Has left me with my jaw on the ground. So waiting patiently for the next one.
I highly recommend Whispered Promises by Red Phoenix. This book is indeed part of a series, so would recommend to start from the beginning.

Condors Can Conquer anyting Together ❤

After the terrifying heart pounding, suspenseful and agonizing end of A Heart Unchained. Red Phoenix throws us right back into the horrifying and anxious situation Brie has been tricked into. We're waiting for rescue right alongside with her. We feel her terror and heartbreak when she is dragged away right as help is just moments of rescuing her.
As Brie is undergoing unthinkable torment and held captive by menacing degenerates, Sir will not rest until she is back in his arms and safe with him and their children.
Bries terrifying ordeal did a number on her physiologically and Sir enlists the help of the BDSM community and trusted Doms to help bring his mate back to him not only physically but mentally and emotionally.
Sir Davis and Brie have an incredible bond. It's inspiring and we feel their love for each other. We are biting our nails reading every page, every paragraph and word written.
Red Phoenix has captivated our attention, imagination, emotions and hearts once again.

Whispered Promises is Book 24 and one of the most powerful and emotionally moving books yet.

Believe it or not, 'Whispered Promises' is the 24th book in Red Phoenix's "Brie's Submission" series and it's just as thrilling now as the first book she started with! As badly as I want to go into detail and let you know all the savage, brutal, and nail-biting experiences Brie goes through while taking me with her, I don't want to spoil it for you. If you know anything about Brie and Sir's relationship you'll be able to appreciate the steadfastness of the condor and his mate. Such love. Such absolute devotion. It was wonderful to see all the cast and have those scenes and moments again. As much as each one of them touched my heart, I was thrilled to see Tono again. With everything that has happened, I was absolutely astounded by the text Sir received. I literally could feel my draw drop and felt myself looking like a fish out of water. I think this one is the best of the series to date, but then all of them are when I first read them, and I can't wait for the next one. No pressure or anything Red … hint, hint. You've outdone yourself this time.

Brie, this book leaves off where we last left Ms. Brie. Brie tries to use all of her powers to breath and see the light and see her next move. Although she doesn't know how much time has passed, she knows she will be saved.

Sir Davis, Thane isn't sure what to expect after Brie is home. He knows he must take care of her, and be gentle with her. She needs time to heal and find herself and her place again.

Brie's parents seem more upset with Sir Davis than they ever have. Brie's father is very upset with Sir Davis. I understand where he is coming from as a parent, but, at the same time, her father needs to realize and know Sir Davis will do everything to protect Ms. Brie.

Ms. Brie has a lot of support from her friends. The other Dom's, in the circle come to help Ms. Brie, although at first it seems she has no triggers, Sir Thane knows she does. Tonto has the best breakthrough with Ms. Brie out of all the members. Ms. Brie just needs to remember to breathe and see herself.

I did receive a free ARC book. I am freely leaving an honest review.
