Book Description:
The Submission Series Book One
Sometimes submission can be hot...
Vicki’s never had a problem standing up for herself. So when a meathead at the gym grabs her butt, she has no problem punching him in the face. Gavin, the gorgeous gym owner, throws the guy out, and his tender, but insistent demand to tend to her injured hand makes Vicki hot. The buff, sex-god-come-to-life is everything she’s ever wanted, and he’s only too happy to show her how good sex can be.
Gavin is entranced by the feisty woman, even though he already has more than enough on his hands with the gym and his work as a volunteer firefighter. The last thing he needs is this bundle of contained fury tossed in his lap, but something about her calls to his inner Dominant. Not only that, her body responds to him like no other. But when he discovers someone is stalking her, it’s no longer all fun and games. Submission is all about trust...and after a brutal attack, trust is the last thing Vicki is willing to give...to anyone.
Reader note: contains light BDSM, spanking, and submission elements.

She scans her face in the mirror, heart beating wildly with the near death dash. She glares at herself. Clumsy! With another big exhale, she pushes off the treadmill. Grabbing her water bottle, she heads for the free weight section of the large gym. The long row of dumbbells sits against the large mirror. Benches and a few squat racks are spread out around her. Several larger men huff and puff as they test their personal bests.
One man to her right slams a loaded bar into the ground with an exaggerated grunt. The noise makes her jump. Vicki twists her upper body to look over her shoulder at the beast, and he grins. She wrinkles her nose at him before she turns back to face the reflective glass. She parts her feet, bending her knees slightly, stretching out the muscles she has taken the care to warm up. She presses a few buttons on her iPod to make the music fill her brain and block out the buffoons behind her. She grabs two twenty-five-pound dumbbells. Again she shifts her feet for balance. Her knees begin to bend, and a big hand smacks her left ass cheek.
The sting of the hand isn’t too bad—actually, in a different setting, she would welcome the bite of a good spanking—but the idea of someone putting their hands on her body without permission sets her blood to boil. With a scowl, she looks past herself in the mirror to see the smug man’s face, his nasty eyes still glued to her rear end. Vicki throws the weights in her hand to the padded floor. Pivoting like a professional basketball player, she tightens her abs and lets her fist fly into the man’s face.
“Fucking bitch!” he growls and steps toward her. He towers over her five-foot frame, but she doesn’t care. Squaring her shoulders, Vicki prepares to punch him again.
“Seriously?” she asks him, cocking her head to the side in a taunt. “Sexual harassment and you wanna add verbal abuse to the list?” Fluttering her eyelashes like some sweet five-year-old, she goads the beast before her.
“I’ll turn you upside down, little girl.” One more step and his chest brushes hers.
“Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!” A deep voice yells from behind the guy she is planning to pummel.
“What the hell is going on?” It’s the god who was serving smoothies. He puts his big hand on the asshole’s chest and shoves him backward. He looks at the guy and then turns those dark chocolate eyes on Vicki.
Review
Burning Submission is a short and steamy novella that I enjoyed reading. It took me a little while to get used to the writing style though, as it's told from a third person POV which I'm not a huge fan of. Both of the main characters were likeable and believable, and the villain of the story was interesting too. I felt that the author got the balance of plot, sex and suspense in the book about right. This is the first J Richards book that I've read, but I would definitely read more in the future.

Vicki is a feisty little firecracker who I absolutely loved. She is strong, sassy and knows how to stand up for herself. Vicki first meets gym owner Gavin when he steps in between her and a fellow gym user who couldn't keep his hands to himself. Gavin is protective, kind, deliciously dominant and oh so sexy - you can't help but like him. The chemistry between Vicki and Gavin is burning hot, they worked well together both in and out of bed.
I'd have liked this book to be a bit longer though, so we could watch their relationship develop more. I
I'm hoping there might be a sequel so that we can find out what the future holds for Gavin and Vicki. Overall this is an enjoyable book that gets four stars.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for a honest review.

of eighteen to marry the love of her life. Leaving everything and everyone she

married for almost eight years and are raising a wild child of a daughter. Her

In 2015, with encouragement from a friend, she submitted a short story to etopia press and was beyond surprised when they wished to publish it. She now has four works under contract and a very hot series in the making.
