5 Cardinal’s Rule Stars

I eye read this book last year, it was the first time I had read of a female Dom or Domme. I was highly interested, just in the dynamic she had with her clients Bob to be exact. But Tilly’s story stuck with me all this time. When I would read a BDSM book featuring a Female Dom she would pop into my head. Books that stick with you don’t come around very often that’s for sure. (Or they don’t for me)

I have all of Tymber’s work on audio, I didn't put two and two together that this was Tilly’s story because well I thought of Tilly’s Rule not Cardinal.. So I was looking thought my Audible and reading blurb something I hardly do and say Tilly so I had to listen ASAP.

I think I loved it even more in Audio! The narration I really enjoyed she did a great job in my opinion.

Chris was Tilly’s Dom… but Landry is Chris’s Dom.. Yeah this are about to get shaky.
It’s a great story of living through hard times and turning yourself around. Coming out stronger then when you started in so many ways.
I can’t say I am a huge Chris fan but I get why he did what he did (a little bit). I don’t like it and I still want Lan to, (be all I will hold him for you haha.. )

I had a feeling Landry had something up his sleeve the whole time even if he said he didn't. I think though I was mostly surprised at Landry and his feeling for Tilly. There connection kind of blew me away at how strong it got.

Then you have Tilly and here feelings or hard feelings I should say toward Chris, not that he didn't deserve it because he totally did. But that relationship was kind of interested to watch.

Over all I enjoyed this book whether it’s with my eyes or my ears. I hope others check it out because it was pretty awesome.

*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

🎧 Audio Review 🎧

I've read some books in this series before but now that I have some of them on Audio I'm going to listened to all the ones that are out even if I read them before. I have read this series completely out of order and honesty it hasn't made a bit of difference to me. This was another GREAT story by Tymber Dalton! She is a Favorite of mine! This book was Hot, Sweet, a little vindictive and had a great ending! I really enjoyed Tillie, Landry and Cris's story. I love that this is a BDSM love story! Most books in the genre are more sex than story but Tymber is perfect and giving us the right amount of each. I only wish Siren Publishing would get a new cover artist because if someone hadn't recommended these books to me years ago, honestly I probably would have never even considered it. These covers do such an injustice to these emotional stories! The Narration in this audiobook was great too!!! Can't wait for the next one!

Officially love Tymber Dalton!

She never disappoints on the stories!

Loved the different plays on different kinks. It showed a wide variety of play instead of vanilla kink that is being promoted a lot. Not all kinks are as nicely tagged as others. Nice to see the the kink showed for what it is. A need that needs to be met, so whatever rocks your boat and all that...


About characters!

Landry... OOOFFFTAAAA


BITE ME BITE ME!!!

Cristo... Hmmmm I was never into ball torture but he sure made me want to start!

I would warm him up with something like this...

I found this to be a hard read, these are 3 difficult people who were at various times throughout the book very hard to like, or sympathize with. Still it was well written and thought provoking.

I had trouble connecting with any of the leads in this story yet I kept reading to see what would happen.

All I can really say is WOW.

This book had my emotions in tatters. Don't be fooled into thinking that just because it is a menage book that It's not a love story. It is a love story between three people that struggle to work through health issues, betrayal and heartache.

Tilly is a strong character although she wasn't to begin with. I actually think that the situation she was faced with actually made her a stronger character.

Christo was a character that was portrayed to be one that we should hate but I never felt that way about him. I knew that the reason for his disappearance wasn't cut and dried. My heart really broke for him at certain points in the book.

Landry- was a very complex character but one with a huge capacity for love. Okay he was a sadist but he was very loveable. He completely acted out of love for Christo and he was totally selfless.

I did a lot of this:



And I thought this was going to happen:
