Reviewer: Jennifer
On Bended Knees was well-written, with characters that sparked interest from the beginning. I loved the premise of this story as it began and I eagerly turned each page as the story built to its conclusion.
But then Lord Evan did something I could never have imagined a responsible Dominant would do. Without giving it away, I will simply state that I strongly feel Lord Evan broke Morgan's trust in the worst way, and trust is paramount in a BDSM relationship. Without it, you have nothing. I truly cannot imagine how Morgan can ever believe in her Dom again after the way he treated her near the end of the story.
If this story had been classified in the horror genre, and had an ending that followed the horror theme, I would have accepted it. But this was a BDSM romance, and so Evan's actions instead came across as simply abusive.
Canice Brown-Porter is obviously a talented writer, with the ability to captivate with her words, effortlessly creating imagery in the reader's mind to match her story. However, that one scene ruined this entire story for me.
I just read the above review that Jennifer at Kwips & Kritiques did on my story, ON BENDED KNEES. To say the least, I was happy with the overall review. Wanting to classify it as horror kind of threw me off. The Dom did nothing wrong to warrant him as abusive nor to diminish the heroine's trust in him. She wasn't physically harmed or maimed.
However, my story is fiction about a real lifestyle. I would never dishonor the lifestyle or the individuals by writing "fluff bondage" and calling it BDSM. If I am going to write BDSM, I'm going to write BDSM. My story contains several lessons in it regarding the psychology and the trust factor that go hand-in-hand in these relationships. Lord Evan taught his submissive a valuable life-saving lesson at the end without bodily harm. The reader must realize this entire story is in the heroine's POV and fear creates a cocoon as to what an individual is focusing on at any given moment.
While Jennifer wouldn't elaborate on the ending, she certainly said enough to pique interest in my story even if on a negative note. At any rate, I'll take the 4 Klovers and smile.
Congratulations to all the authors in this anthology!
