DIARY OF A SUBMISSIVE (A TOMB OF ASHEN TEARS, #4) by Kailee Samuels: ARC REVIEW

Diary of a Submissive by Kailee Reese Samuels
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

"It took three to fall in love. And three to fuck it all up."

Diary of a Submissive (A Tomb of Ashen Tears, #4), is addictive to no end. I screamed, swooned and cried...and couldn't get enough of such a delicious voluptuousness. 

In that opus, the author once again reinvented the atmosphere, more intimate, where the accent is put on the emotional turmoil of my favorite trio, trinity, Sal, Iris and Deacon. 

"Two men. Two loves.[...] One girl. One epic fucking Raniero versus Cruz war."

The complexity of the emotions and the justesse of Mrs Samuels' words sent me spiraling into that maddening mafia world. Jealousy, hope, rage, insecurities tangoed with competition, trust issues, business desisions. I cannot tell you how many times my heart broke, shattered, thumped, swelled or missed a beat. You name it, it's all in there.

It's not an easy story, but who would want easy when it's so good to get lost, immersed into the pages of deep, pure, raw feelings. At turns formidable and vulnerable, sometimes both at the same time, the characters learn, adapt, evolve: the connections are fluid. They fight with passion and love fiercely. And when they detonate, they hit hard and take no prisoners. The author brilliantly captured the expression of their unconventional love, in all it's splendor, shameless erotism, and sometimes ugliness.  

"His symbiotic relationship between the wind and the earth is unparalleled—a sacred walk. He’s found peace and balance in the equilibrium, sculpting the mountain for my burn and building shores for her seas to strike."

I absolutely loved how Sal matured, still struggling with his lifelong addiction issues. Deacon is darker than ever, unapologetic and fierce. Iris is spreading her wings, strategizing as hard as the others players on that constantly moving board. 

"Thick or thin, we’re in this—blood bath bonding—together."


Just like with the finest clockwork, the precision of the prose is impeccable, the intricacies of the cogs are splendid. Trust KRS to drop the twisted bombs at the right time...the new revelations, the clerverly woven web of deceits, alliances and threats had me grinning and yelling like the craziest woman...(but maybe I am crazy after all???). BOOM... MIND BLOWN...
