BLURB:
The New York Times bestselling author of The Submissive returns with a scintillating new tale about power, danger, and jaw-dropping passion....
Nathaniel and Abby are struggling to navigate the challenging waters of their own relationship, when they get a surprising phone call from their partners in play, Dena and Jeff, who are in need of a helping hand…
Seven years ago, blonde, beautiful lawyer Dena Jenkins was tired of her carefully controlled life. Desperate for something exhilarating to help her escape the pressures of her demanding job and her senator father, she joined a steamy, local BDSM club as a submissive. There she met brooding Dominant, Jeff. The attraction between them was undeniable, and, despite Dena’s doubts, they couldn’t stay away from each other.
Except, as the years have passed, their blazing connection has proven difficult to maintain. Dena and Jeff have a history they’d rather forget, but Dena can’t let go of the past, and Jeff is ready to move across the country to give her space. Now, to save their passion, they’ll have to rediscover what it means to trust each other—and give themselves to each other completely…

REVIEW BY: Atalia
Dear Master JEFF HOT. DAMN. PARKS,
By any chance, do you have an extra collar lying around sir?!?!
I’d sure like one!
P.S. Any chance you also have an iPad lying around?
Cause you just blew mine up! *fanning myself*

Good lord this book!! Tara Sue Me brings so much to the table in The Collar. Not only does the author provide readers with an electrifying hot romance, but you also get a bit of mystery concerning events surrounding Dena. My absolute favorite thing about this novel, is that Jeff and Dena’s story is a second chance romance. I LOVE second chance romances!!! And their story, did not disappoint.
At first I was a bit iffy about the alternating timeline, switching from present to past and vice versa, but for their story it really worked out well. Especially as this was my first novel in the Submissive series (and Tara Sue Me novel), not sure how much is known about them in previous books, but it helped me familiarize myself and connect with them more. Based on certain things they went through in the past, being able to experience them with Jeff & Dena, definitely helped appreciate their character development more and cheer them on.
Let’s talk about the tension between these two for a minute. Gotta warn you, you may get frustration along with them. I may or may not have yelled at them, “What are YOU DOING?!?!? GET TO IT ALREADY!! GO! GO! GO! lol They also have such great chemistry!
Jeff and Dena’s story is one that will definitely pull at your heartstrings. I would recommend this novel to readers who love second chance romances, love a great dominant man, and those who enjoy reading BDSM. If you’re thinking of maybe trying this one out but haven’t read any of the precious books, no worries! The Collar can be read as standalone.
4 Stars
EXCERPT:
Chapter One
Present Day
Jeff Parks knew it was taking all of Dena’s willpower not to look his way. And since he had once had that willpower bend to his command, he was well aware of the strength involved. On any other given night, he’d be using his own willpower not to stare, but in light of his recent decision—
“Have you been listening to anything I’ve said in the last five minutes?” his friend and fellow Dom, Daniel, asked.
Jeff looked back to the man standing at his side. It was late on a Thursday night and their local BDSM group meeting had just ended. No one was in a hurry to leave though. Everyone wanted to stay around and talk with Nathaniel and Abby. At the moment, Nathaniel stood beside Daniel, grinning. The guest Dominant had led a discussion about keeping D/s relationships from getting stale. Considering the two scenes Jeff had participated in a few months ago with the married couple, staleness wasn’t an issue between Nathaniel and Abby.
“Sorry. What?” Jeff asked Daniel.
“Nothing important. Just going over plans for the play party tomorrow night.”
“Your house at ten.”
“At least you remember that part,” Daniel said in his not-quite-teasing voice.
“I’ve got a lot on my mind.” He might as well go ahead and tell Daniel everything. He’d find out eventually and the two of them had been friends for long enough that he deserved to hear the news from Jeff himself. “I’m moving.”
“You’re what?” Daniel asked in shock.
“Why?” Nathaniel asked at the same time.
Jeff’s gaze automatically found Dena again. She was talking with Abby and Julie. Daniel’s submissive must have said something funny, because Dena snorted with laughter, shaking her head. Her long blond hair swayed with the movement.
“Ah,” Daniel said.
“It’s not what you think.”
