Im very passionate about Cherise Sinclair’s Club Shadowlands so I highly recommend you finish the series. Master Z in the first book doesn’t read minds, he is a psychologist and therefore can read people’s expressions and body language really well. The whole series has multiple amazing underlying plots aside from the kink club including a huge sex trafficking ring. They also include books with multiple doms and also female dommes and male subs (book 10. Big strong man which you said you liked). It’s a really good series for people wanting to learn about bdsm but also portrays the abuse and problems within the community without sugar coating them. In conclusion, I love these books please give them another try :)

[@princessjoy007]

Definitely going to look further into this list!👌🏽

[@nakatosimaryflavia5424]

Your library is to die for😩😩❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@TheBookRefuge]

Oh Thank You

[@HappyforNow]

Eva Leigh’s newest has a submissive Duke. I haven’t read it yet. I love Scarlett Peckham so much that whole series it incredibly done! Thanks for making this list I got a couple new to me ones to add 💕

[@heabooktubes]

The Fae ones sounds aaaaaamazing.

[@TheBookRefuge]

It was so good. It seemed like it would be cheesy, but it really worked for me. Especially the one where they are both switches.

[@loli.9635]

Oh the Cherise Sinclair club shadow lands series does pick up majorly my favourite has to be book five make me sir it takes the tale through a loop with trafficking and under cover work it really ups the book game

[@GretchenV95]

Katee Robert is IT. I read “Your Dad Will Do” recently and I feel like a new woman. 🤣

[@claralizmoreira2112]

I love The Dare from Harley Laroux

[@Sofia_Monteiro]

One of the best bdsm romances is by Ashe Barker, Hard limits. She is a sub and mute . So you can understand how rules, consent can be precise and interesting in this setting.

[@heabooktubes]

Sigh. I love books with bdsm done right. ♥️🍂

[@TheBookRefuge]

It is just so satisfying.

[@katyareads221]

CD Reiss has other series based on the Draven family siblings. Each series answers questions about other series and the underlying story is about the patriarch of the family....big secret.....

[@arisann7083]

Girl.... you’re so right about the covers. 😂😂😂 and just because I can, I’m going to buy these books and the ones I like I’m going to have rebound for my library because I will judge myself for those covers no matter the content. That might be shallow of me but I’m just being honest. There’s a lot of book repair places and book binding places that will rebind your books

[@jessicareeder8313]

Thanks for all of these recommendations. I just ordered a Nikki Sloane and Kresley Cole book. I am so excited to read my first BDSM books.

[@TheBookRefuge]

Yay! Those are great ladies to start with! They tell a sexy story no matter what the topic is.

[@bonitadesastre]

Being a member of the BDSM community the only one I have to disagree with is Club Shadowlands. She was clearly in a car accident and they should have been direct on where exactly she was and what paperwork she was signing. I'm so happy you put an emphasis on aftercare. I rarely see it and when I do it makes the book 10x better already lol. Thanks for the recs!

[@TheBookRefuge]

It is awesome to get your insight! Thank you for that info. I agree with you. I think it only worked for me because of the chest of him being able to read her emotions/mind. Because without that it would feel like he took advantage.

[@bonitadesastre]

@@TheBookRefuge That did make reading it easier and more fun for sure! It's funny how certain scenarios for me can be read in different ways depending on the genre. Contemporary? I'm 110% strict. Paranormal? Maybe the grass is blue and the sky is green? lol

[@TheBookRefuge]

Right! At the end of that story, I just felt like he showed a LOT of care and sweetness to her, so it didn't bug me, but in other scenarios I would have been mad. But hey, that's the fun of the fictional.

[@bonitadesastre]

@@TheBookRefuge NGL I may pick it back up at some point. I'm a sucker for the type of BDSM novels where the sub is like here is a list of all the things I wanna try and try ONCE please lmao.

[@kanakjain8314]

Hey Jen! I really enjoy your videos and I have loved a lot of your recs. I was just wondering if you have tried Lexi Blake's books and what are your thoughts about them, especially her Masters and Mercenaries series. It'll be really cool if you look into them and share your thoughts. Love from India.❤️ Edit: this series is about Mercenaries (both male and female) and their BDSM relationships.

[@Sofia_Monteiro]

Very good series! Loved them

[@robinc6669]

Thanks

[@LivaLafay]

Golden Angel - Stronghold series.... You'r welcome 😉😘

[@marialidia008]

Hi Jennifer, have you any raccomandation for "dark accademia kinda vibe" BDSM or Erotica stories?

[@catherinegoodman2242]

Cherise Sinclair series club shadow land and Marie Force Quantum series

[@belensadavega5719]

You should totally read power exchange by AJ Rose, one of my favs series.

[@TheBookRefuge]

It's in my book rec form already! So I'll keep it in mind!! 🥰🥰

[@kendra3927]

It’s 2023 and my curiosity has me going through the taboo review logs 👀

[@nakatosimaryflavia5424]

My favorite books are dark romance. Can you do a paranormal series?

[@TheBookRefuge]

Yes! I am working on reading enough to do some recs. I really only have 2 series that I have read so far, so I am working on reading more in October

[@Heothbremel]

💖

[@Mokoko83]

This was great, thanks! I’ve been looking for some D/s reads 🙌if you haven’t already read them- The Markham Hall (Education of Ivy Leavold) series (it’s a full length book bundle of novella length books) by Sierra Simone & was fantastic! Is historical BDSM romance & also Lashwood by Everly Ryan. Both were fab! x

[@TheBookRefuge]

Yes, I have read all of Sierra Simone. Love those ones. I will check out the other one too!!!

[@knnnicole1703]

i hope someone respond tho lmao. Im currentlt reading the masters of shadowland series by cherise sinclaire. Im now on the 5th book "make me sir". Im just worried will jessica and Master Z will break up or any of the couple from the early series? bcause if yes, I don't want to continue it TT. tho im loving the series!

[@somyapant4888]

They don't .. they all get happy ending 😊

[@liliththefallenone8972]

Please check out Ruthless Empire by Rina Kent

[@liliththefallenone8972]

@Alex what?

[@TheDiane617]

My first bdsm was Red Phoenix Brie's Submission series. OMG hot!

[@magicalmystery1964]

My biggest problem with that was Brie herself. I can't believe,for a minute, that Sir, an older, experienced Dom, would saddle himself with such an emotional ditz. She is, frankly, annoying. He should have uncollared her more than once!

[@keithwhite3782]

Loved watching your review. And Trying to find a good BDSM or Erotic book for my GF. She has a experience with BDSM and is attracted to M/F/M. Almost all the books I come across deal with gay male partners which does not seem to be what she is interested in. Can you give me some good ideas for MFM with F Submission?

[@kenedyrocks1]

Hello. Have you heard of the Venus School by Golden Angel? It’s mainly an MFM, the mc is a newbie submissive. It also goes into detail about how difficult being in such a relationship is in real life. Hope it helps :)

[@MsEleanorShelby]

I love historical romances with kink / taboo elements. The Duke I Tempted unfortunately was a disappointment for me. The beginning was promising, but the middle with lots of miscommunication dragged on and on way to long for me. I was bored. I would have hoped for more open communication earlier in the book, not just the last 20%. I will try book two in this series, hoping that it's more my cup of tea.

[@TheBookRefuge]

Very true! It did tease us a LOT. I just liked finding a book with any BDSM elements in it. Have you read Rough Surrender by Cari Silverwood.

[@MsEleanorShelby]

@@TheBookRefuge No, thanks for the recommendation. I will try it soon.

[@catherinegoodman2242]

Kate Pearce has a series about bdsm

[@MsEleanorShelby]

@@TheBookRefuge I finished Rough Surrender by Cari Silverwood yesterday. Thanks again for the recommendation! I liked it very much. The nostalgic setting in Egypt added to the heat of the story. I didn't care for the kidnapping-part of the story, in my eyes the story didn't need that. The conflict between Faith and Meisner about her being an independent feminist and pilot was far more interesting and enough to carry the book.

[@Emmareads15]

In The Master, you would think it'd be easier for him to just buy her the morning after pill! But I suppose they'd be no story then......

[@TheBookRefuge]

Lols, right?! I think he just wanted the excuse to keep fucking her.... but no complaints here.

[@chickensoup1626]

Can u do another taboo or mafia recommendations trope💕

[@TheBookRefuge]

As soon as I read enough! And I have a Taboo rec video coming out later this month!

[@heabooktubes]

Kristen Ashley has alpha male submissives in The Deep End/ Honey series (I haven’t read it) and her book Deacon is a alpha male switch and I loved it.

[@TheBookRefuge]

OMG! I will look them up immediately. I loved that about Gaeton in Beast. So cool

[@LivaLafay]

Samantha Cole, Trident Security series (first one, Leather and Lace) is AWESOME explained BDSM 😍 Annabel Joseph, Properly Spanked series is historical romance BDSM - not always consensual, but very readable 😘

[@TheBookRefuge]

Thanks for the Recs, I added them to my goodreads. Love some good BDSM

[@LivaLafay]

@@TheBookRefuge Me 2! I love the fact that you read that too and do recs in that genre - not many do and it can be hard to find some really good ones, so recs are always welcome ❤

[@HasnaHasna-nx7lt]

Did you read LISA VALDEZ series?

[@mariafumich5035]

I'm actually looking for BDSM AUDIOBOOKS and most of the ones I have been finding have interesting ideas that are poorly executed and the narrator was a woman which when I comes to the naughty parts causes a bit of dissonance. Think about it certain things are easier when listening, she says with a wicked grin

[@robinc6669]

Can you give me the name of the author Minstral Dawn series. Can't find on kindle bookstore.

[@TheBookRefuge]

Um.. The name is Minstral Dawn. Taken by the Huntsman is the first book. It will come up if you type that in

[@baharab7349]

I loved stealing cindrella 😍 oh and he is a prince. And before having sex with her he gives her a choice. He can take her back to her house and leave her there to face her problems alone or she can stay with him for 2 months and in return he will help her friend's sanctuary to help animals.

[@FP19487]

Why would the male MC have always to be billionaire? Dominant male doesn’t necessarily relate to economic status, and most of them aren’t hot anyway. When girls says they have hots for rich men all I can think of are Gates or Zuckerberg doing it.. eww. Can reptilian be part of the fantasy?.. Am I missing something or just don’t understand the kink which in my mind mostly sexual. Recently read manga Nana to Kaoru which about highschoolers trying bdsm; pretty hot imo and it doesn’t have this typical rich male, poor female dynamic.

[@Justablonde]

I’m searching for a veeery specific storyline (and I don’t even know if any book like this exists lol) a dom male who’s in some sort of place of power (either royalty, has some sort of magical power, super strong… whatever) fantasy-ish feels with sub female… I’m not familiar with the genre just yet so if anyone can give me some recommendations, I’d be very very thankful 🤍

[@TheBookRefuge]

Minstral Dawn has a series with Fae Kings who have human mates and there is BDSM dynamics involved. Covers are horrible but the books are excellent. Taken by the Huntsman is the first one.
