		<description>Personally, as a reader and reviewer of ebooks (romance and erotic romance primarily) I would put Claire Thompson&#039;s writing in the top 10% easily, if not even the top 5% in the &#039;ebook&#039; field, for quality, consistency, intriguing plot line, and loveable characters. 

   I can&#039;t think of a handful of authors (maybe 3 or 4 total) that I know each and every time I pick up their books I&#039;ll be happy with that decision -- Claire is already one of those authors (and most of the others either don&#039;t write ebooks or write both e and print -- they are different animals entirely as far as writing technique and style, in my opinion). 

   I think Claire gives her readers what they need. They crave an escape from reality for a period of time and it&#039;s delivered in the form of hot characters, scorching hot scenes, and intriguing plots with the happy ever afters that make you ..... well, make you want to read another one. :)

   I&#039;m sure every author could strive harder to have more sparkle, more character development, more grit (for lack of a better word), but there&#039;s nothing better than knowing that at the end of the day, when you just want to kick back and read a good solid story you won&#039;t go wrong in picking up one of Claire&#039;s books.

   All that being said, I can agree with many points in this well thought out review of Submission Times Two -- and I, for one, am VERY eager to see where Claire takes her writing. If she&#039;s already in the top 10%, anything she adds to the development of her writing style will surely make her a must read on EVERYONE&#039;S list! :)</description>

		<description>I appreciate all these supportive comments very much! They sustain me and make me want to write more! But Sarah&#039;s constructive criticism is really food for thought. I am the sole support of myself and my family with my writing (And an EDJ) and sometimes I think I might be rushing through a novel to get the story out and get product out there, without taking enough time to really polish my offering into the gem readers deserve. Sarah has really made me think about that, and I want to do better. I want to take the time to FIND the sparkle, to breathe life into my work so it&#039;s more than just a hot read or an expose on BDSM-Claire-style. I honestly don&#039;t know if i have what it takes to produce and nurture that sparkle, but I plan to open myself to it. Thanks.</description>

		<description>Reading hard-core BDSM isn&#039;t my thing in general, but I have read several of Claire&#039;s mm BDSM books and enjoyed how faithful she is to the motivations and practices of those in the lifestyle. I agree about the writing, but I guess no one&#039;s perfect and if I have to sacrifice sparkle to get Claire&#039;s brand of quality BDSM portayal, that&#039;s just fine with me. I&#039;ll add this book to my TBR.</description>

I have not read this book yet it is on my to read  asap but I would like to comment that  I find all Claire&#039;s books are about erotic surrender &amp; sensual submission.

		<description>Good review. I have read Submission Time Two as well and truly enjoyed it. Like the other commenters I tend to think of Claire first whenever someone asks me which BDSM author they should read. I know when I&#039;m in the mood for a great BDSM story, whether m/f or m/m, Claire Thompson is always my first stop.</description>

		<description>Nice Review. I&#039;ve read Submission Times Two and very much enjoyed it. Claire always pushes me past my boundaries and I appreciate this, as a rule I don&#039;t always enjoy BDSM but Claire&#039;s is written so well that it is hard not to enjoy it, I will admit I have not read any of Claire&#039;s m/f BDSM (not my cup of tea) but have read all of her m/m and will read any in the future, and would recommend it to others, and like Jambrea and Rhonda any time I think of BDSM Claire&#039;s name always comes to the forefront.</description>

		<description>Very nice review. I&#039;ve read Submission Times Two as well as a few others from Claire. Her BDSM is very involved and I like that. When I think of true BDSM writing, I think of Claire.</description>

		<description>I read Submission Time Two and as a gay submissive man, I found it resonated with my own life experience, if not in fact, at least in spirit. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good, hot BDSM read.</description>

		<description>Well, I was definitely holding my breath on this one. I appreciate the constructive criticism on writing style, and take it to heart. I am delighted you appreciated the story, despite the inelegance! I am glad I squeaked past the BDSM debate relatively unscathed. The review is thoughtful and in-depth, and much appreciated! I&#039;ll take a B- from Sarah any day of the week.</description>
