Series Review:
Reviewed by Marilyn ~ Outstanding series *****5 STARS*****
Jenna Jacob is a new author to me and one who I am so happy to say I am honored to have come across.
Reading and reviewing her books has truly been a joy to me. Rarely do you come across an author who can
captivate her readers the way she has done with this series. Her ability to develop not only the characters but the
scenes on the pages of her books is a true testament to her unique writing ability.
I want to say that this review is somewhat out of character for me as I am reviewing all four books together. Each
book is so brilliantly written and full of such great dimension that it can be read as a stand along, However, when
you combine it with the large overall picture you are presented with one amazing story that unfolds in the pages of
this series with Jenna Jacob bringing each and every character to life and created such a wonderful story line. With
that said here we go………….
Embracing My Submission (The Doms of Genesis Book 1)
Haunted for years by dreams of a savage, amber eyed Dominant with lips so enticing my soul ached in frustration and lust. None of the Dominants at Genesis, my local BDSM club ever stirred me in such blistering ways. While I tried to fill my submissive desires vicariously through interactions at the club, I attempted to convince myself it was enough. But it wasn’t. My dream Dom made certain I hungered for more.
Forced beyond what I could bear, my passion and frustration exploded. I threw in the towel, determined to stop chasing a dream and gave up completely on finding submissive surrender. But fate intervened when two gunshots split the night. Forced to confront my desires and insecurities, I was shocked to realize that my dreams may have held a deeper meaning. Were they compelling me to finally embrace my submission?

Main characters are:
Julianna a CPA by day, a trained submissive, “Emerald”, by night. While she tries to fill her submissive desires
vicariously through interaction at Genesis, a private BDSM club, she attempts to convince herself that it is enough.
But is it? She hungers to be owned and for a certain Master that visits her in her dreams.
Mika LaBrache, Genesis aloof owner, aka the Great and Powerful Oz, who battles with his emotions and feelings
since the loss of his beloved slave.
Drake “Daddy Drake” The muscle bound, leather clad gay dominant protector and mentor of Emerald.
OK – get ready for a jaw dropping story line and one very bumpy rollercoaster ride.
Now I never give anything away when I write a review…BUT let’s just say that you embark on the story of Julianna
finding Julianna. The drama throughout is nail biting and the love scenes so touching. I cried, I laughed, I actually
turned off my Kindle and walked away I was so upset at one part (You will know what part when you get there).
You will get to see the really bratty “Emerald” emerge at times, there is a sadistic animal disguised as a Dom who
appears, one very traumatic assault that brings Mika to the forefront, a fight which leaves one Dom with a fatal
gunshot wound, a desperate and frantic Mika who struggles with his demons, a irate Daddy Drake who is duped by
a fellow Dom, you will be right there with Emerald as she struggles to deal with her slave issues. And then to top it
all off we have this dazzling love story filled with passion and sorrow. Loved this book.
Masters of My Desire (The Doms of Genesis Book 2)
Plowing into Bambi and totaling my SUV wasn’t the way I envisioned starting my vacation. Then again, neither was being rescued by two gorgeous men. Nick Masters and Dylan Thomas swooped in to save me from the wreck. They weren’t just knights in a shining truck, but Dominants so potent the submissive hidden inside me clawed to kneel at their feet.
To my surprise, they offered to teach me the joys of submission. I shoved down my fears and agreed to spend one glorious week of pleasure under their hand, at the center of their raw passion. With each command and touch, they bared my soul and stole my heart. With them, I felt like a beautiful—if kinky—Cinderella. But all too soon, the clock struck midnight, and I fled…
Returning to my lackluster life, I was determined to somehow survive without the masters of my desire. I never imagined they would travel a few hundred miles to hunt me down. Could I say yes when they offered to bestow something on me far more beautiful than a glass slipper?

So in book two we are reintroduced to three players were read briefly about in book 1. We actually go back in time
to how they meet and come full circle back to Genesis again.
We have:
Savannah Carson, a closet submissive who reads about BDSM but is too shy and insecure to ever live out her
fantasy. Losing her parents at 16 has left her closed off, afraid of commitment and fearful of losing another person
she loves.
Nick Masters – Native American who oozes the alpha male dominance. His previous marriage ended in a bitter
breakup with his money hunger bitch of a wife, which has left him gun shy and weary of commitment.
Dylan Thomas – sexy blue eyed, ex-Marine sniper who witnessed horrible things during his tour abroad. He
struggles daily to deal with his demons from his past.
SO – We start out with Savanna plowing her SUV into “Bambi” on the way to a planned vacation with her only
sister. She is rescued by two gorgeous men (inseparable best sharing friends) who swoop in to save the day. A
freak snow storm has shut down the airport and Savanna’s sister is unable to make it on their vacation. Stranded
with two hot dominate men Savanna has her dreams of all dreams come true when the two – yes the two hot Dom’s
offer to teach her the joys of submission. She swallows her fears and goes for it.
OK that is all I give you here. But….Boy -oh-boy….what a wonderful journey this story takes you on…….I didn’t
think that Jenna Jacob could top the first book – I stand corrected. She has created such mind blowing characters
that just pop on the pages of this book. Her ability to use her knowledge of the BDSM brings this pulsating and
electrifying story of Dylan, Nick and Savannah to life. It is one of the best, if not the best, written ménage à trois
I have ever read.. AND to added even more enjoyment to this book Jenna brings back our beloved friends of
Genesis from book 1 by masterfully intertwining them in the pages of this book. Great job!
Master of My Mind (The Doms of Genesis Book 3)
The Biggest Club Genesis Book Yet!
After the shocking death of my Master left me stunned, the revenge his ex-wife and daughter sought was almost as devastating. Seeking refuge at Club Genesis, my one safe haven, I returned to heal and get back on my own two feet.
But I soon learned that fate had other plans for Leagh Bennett.
Tony Delvaggio, the panty-melting sadist and resident shrink of Genesis, took me under his wing. Both frightened by his intensity and secretly thrilled by his unwavering attention, I tried to hide my past and barricade my soul from him. But Tony coaxed my thoughts with his deep voice and seduced my body with his rough hands. Before long, he pried open my heart as well. But when it became clear that someone meant to kill me, I came to a terrifying conclusion: I would have to put my complete trust and submission in the Master of my mind or die…

In book 3 we start out with the shocking death of Master George and the total downward spiral of his beloved sub
Leagh. Her world is shattered and George’s ex-wife and daughter set out on a course to destroy her starting with
their attempt to have her barred from his funeral.
Key players in this 3rd installment in the Dom’s of Genesis series are:
Leagh – We were introduced to Leagh in book 1 with her master, George. She is the brat of the club, years younger
than George and the oh so very un-submissive submissive at the club.
Tony Delvaggio, the panty-melting Sadist, Dungeon Monitor and resident shrink at Genesis who has watched the
little brat, as he calls her, from afar for several years.
Leagh unable to deal with all the emotional pain, no money, no home, nothing, shuts down completely. Her friends
at Genesis are worried about her so Tony steps in and takes it upon himself to take care of Leagh. He makes sure
she has a place to stay, and someone to talk to.
Drama – OMG the drama in this book is outstanding. Sit up and pay attention drama unfolds. Secrets come to
light that can destroy Leagh and Tony. Leagh past catches up with her, death and destruction ensue. Everything
Leagh thought she knew about George is questioned. Can she put her trust in the Sadist and allow him to help her
heal? Will George’s family destroy her? You have got to read this one. And once again Jenna Jacob manages to
intertwine my favorite Genesis family members into this story effortlessly. Awesome work!
Saving My Submission (The Doms of Genesis Book 4)
I never intended Joshua Lars, the sexy-as-sin sculptor to be more than a one-night stand. How was I to know his masterful hands and dominant command would wake the sleeping submissive within me?
Any of my friends would have said that Mellie Carson was an independent, successful woman who would never kneel for a man. I’d already chalked my one foray into surrendering my control up to naïve stupidity. I was far too smart now to do it again—or so I thought.
Then came Joshua… Determined to resist his powerful draw, I tried to forget him, but Fate—and a killer—had other plans. Now, in Joshua’s arms, I might be safe, but I fear my heart isn’t.
Can he save my life while saving my submission?
* AMAZON * BARNES & NOBLE * KOBO * iBOOKS * ARe *
In book 4 we are introduced to Mellie Carson and Joshua Lars and we all get to go back to our beloved Genesis
and the friends we have come to love…
Mellie is the smart career-oriented woman who doesn’t do long-term relationships. Once active in the DBSM world,
that was until a Dom took her collar and her heart away. Now jaded she has buried her true inner submissive.
Joshua is a Dom at Genesis who has had a rough time finding a sub that fits into his life. The lost of his wife and
daughter haunts him so that he has pulled away from his passion as an artist and seems lost in time.
They meet at the first showing of Joshua’s art in quite some time. He is immediately drawn to her and her to one
of his delicate sculptures……. “”I never intended Joshua Lars, the sexy-as-sin sculptor to be more than a one-night
stand. How was I to know his masterful hands and dominant command would wake the sleeping submissive within
me?””
..and so this story begins. The pages of this book vibrate with the intense sexual prowess that Jenna brings to life
with Joshua and Mellie. The drama is intense, so very intense. The BDSM scenes superbly written and the overall
dynamics of this love story are like no other.
Can Joshua tame the fiercely independent woman who has buried her submissive side? Will Mellie allow her
sleeping submissive to be awaken at the hands of Joshua? Trust is tested, the past resurfaces. Will fate and a
killer at large destroy them? Can their friends be trusted? Will they heal and repair each other?
Side note- In this book more than the other three there are some amazingly funny parts (bridal shower being one)
to this story and we again get to revisit our beloved friends at Genesis. Drake, Trevor, Mika, Julianna, Dylan,
Savanna, Nick, Leagh and Tony all grace the pages of Saving My Submission and we do get closure to some parts
that have been left open ended in the previous 3 books.
