Trinity survived an abusive fundamentalist father, needy siblings, an uncaring mother, and a lifetime of fear that she will go to hell for being a lesbian. Never mind her craving for kink and the intricate dynamics of BDSM.
Graciela, on the other hand, came of age following a picture-perfect childhood complete with 4-H, cornfields, and doting parents. Successful in her chosen field, she’s established a thriving overseas practice as a professional domme.
Now, with Trinity forgiven for cheating a decade ago, the two women are finally happy. But before returning to America, Trinity receives contact from her family: They want a reunion. Gracie hits the roof.
Her lover’s family almost killed her once. Wasn’t that enough? Graciela wants Trinity safe at all costs. She issues an ultimatum: No contact, even if it means cutting ties with her family forever.
But Trinity’s longed for this moment half her life. Family’s family, no matter what they do. She loves Gracie, but no one can replace parents. Why can’t Gracie understand? She has pledged to obey, but she can’t make this sacrifice.
Can Gracie and Trinity’s love for each other overcome this impasse? Or will happily ever after turn into a parting of ways?

This is part of a series and you do need to read in order. I did not and didn't have any idea of some of the events that was spoken of. Having said that, I don't think reading the others would have changed my rating. In this story Graciella and Trinity are back together and living in Korea. Gracie is about to start a new job with even more responsibilities and taking Trinity home to meet her family. When they get to the airport Trinity bolts and when Gracie finds her what she finds out is very shocking This is a well-written and poignant story. There is darkness in Trinity's past that could be triggers for some. If you like Dommes, BDSM, spanking and a dark romance, this is for you. |
No one will read stories about people like you.
That’s what I was told, back when I first wrote stories about sweet, kinky love between women.
I could write graphic, sex-filled erotica that would sell to a voyeuristic, predominantly heterosexual audience. Or I could write vanilla lesfic, lesbian fiction catering strictly to a lesbian audience.
But what about real, live women who existed in their own right? What about later-in-life women who discovered their sexuality after society told them they should be married (to men, of course!) with children? What about young women, finding their place in a society dominated by men?
What about a young woman who thrives in her first year at college, only to lose her identity for the next ten years after being raped?
What about a young woman, just out of college, who struggles to choose between protecting her homophobic family and yielding to her live-in girlfriend’s demand to come out?
Most of all, what about the women and girls who contemplate suicide rather than face a world in which they are condemned as sinful?
Is this the world we want to live in?
I say no.
Some people fight with legal action. The Supreme Court’s decision to legalize same-sex marriage was a huge step toward equality. So is the fight for trans women and men to use the bathrooms matching their identities.
Others fight with scholarly articles, fundraising, shelters for LGBT teens, and public speaking.
Me, I’m an author.
So I write.
I write of a world where a girl may love a girl, and the world stays intact.
Where a girl may love a girl and perhaps play with some kinky toys, and still their world remains standing.
Where a girl may love a girl, use kinky toys, and be welcomed by their chosen faith community.
Where LGBT, kinky, and faith can stand united.

To create a world of justice, we must first believe it can exist.

Trinity's family sounds like a nightmare, one I would think she would want to avoid.

Hmmm....BDSM, unless it is light, generally is not my thing. So, I don't think this series is for me. But, appreciate the review.

I have my ups and downs with BDSM genre. I'm on the fence with this one. Thank you for the review.
