I've read this entire series and while I have loved all the installments I can say this book will hold a special place in my heart. Maybe it's because I've watched the relationship with Trevor and Daddy Drake from book one. Either way this book touched me on a spiritual level. Watching the pain filled journey these two men had to walk was heartbreaking. After Trevor's attack he is just not the same. Haunted by the events of that night he find himself sinking into a dark abyss. His lover and Master; Daddy Drake, is at a loss about how to pull his sweet sub back from the brink before they both tumble over. With the help of some amazing friends and a love that defies all, they soon learn that nothing can come between their bond. There were several times that I simply cried at the turmoil these two endured. This book simply pulled on my heartstrings. I give it an absolute 5 stars . I loved every moment of it.

This is a very different entry into the Doms of Genesis series, and not just because it's focused on two characters we've met before. Trevor Hammond, a young, gay, submissive man, and his Dom Drake (aka Moses Abraham) have been strong supporting characters since the series began. In the previous full-length book, Seduced by My Doms, Trevor is brought into the ER after being the victim of a terrible hate crime. Bound to Surrender is the story of his recovery. It's long, painful, and sometimes difficult to watch. Trevor struggles, unable to find a way to let his friends and family help him. However, eventually he starts to feel better, and is able to open up and live his life again. This is a psychologically riveting story of pain, loss, and recovery.

Moses and Trevor have always been one of my favorite couples of this series. They have been together, and solid, since book one. Always in the background being supportive and smokin hot together.

If you have read the previous books you know Trevor was a victim of a hate crime in one of the earlier books. This is their struggle to come to terms and heal in the aftermath of that incident.

"Tell me how to fix this for you, love. I can’t stand this distance between us. Come back to me, precious. Please. Daddy needs you,” Drake whispered, allowing several tears to leak from his eyes."

This book hit me right in the feels. I think I spent most of it dabbing my eyes and sniffling. SO many emotions. My heart ached for Trevor and all he had to overcome. It cracked open for Moses, a strong "Daddy Dom" reduced to tears and uncertainty. Yet even in that uncertainty these two clung to each other and refused to walk away. The love these two have for each other is limitless.

So why not 5 stars? WELL...I didn't like the whole
Spoiler surrogacy thing. It wasn't the fact they decided to be parents. That was awesome and I think they will make AMAZING fathers. I didn't like the way they went about it. I didn't like that they used Julianna (heroine from book one.) I didn't like the whole "home insemination" delio (that was just WEIRD.) I didn't like it was implied she had postpartum depression and it required them to give her alone time with "THEIR" baby until she could give up her maternal rights. I know we were suppose to take it as this great grand gesture between this group of amazing friends yadda yadda yadda, but it was a complete miss for me. It just FELT weird...almost icky. I don't know. I just didn't like it. I would have prefered they used a "no name" to be the surrogate.


Other then that issue, this was a solid, well written, 4 star read for your truly.
