It would be nearly impossible to discuss this book without mentioning the whole Fifty Shades of Grey phenomenon. I was really looking forward to Fifty Shades but when I started reading it I was really disappointed, I could only get half way through the second book before I cut my losses and said 'laters baby' to the series. I could go on and on and on about the reasons Fifty failed me, but it's Diary of a Submissive we are talking about, right?
Diary of a Submissive filled the void 'the other books' left gaping. Sophie Morgan is a pseudonym because this is a true story... a memoir of a 'normal' albeit kinky girl and her realization that she enjoys 'normal' albeit kinky men.
I recommend that anyone who loved Fifty read this book to get a grasp on reality and am confident that readers like me, who were let down by Mr. Grey will enjoy this book. Of course, if you aren't interested at all in graphic sexuality... you might not want to read either.

You were smart to bail early in the 50 Shades nonsense. I stuck it out for all three because my daughter had read them and I wanted to see the appeal. Horrid, badly written, blah. I really liked Diary of a Submissive and was even more thrilled to read it for free! BTW: thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting. :)
