3.5 starsThe title and the cover alone literally grab you! How to Discipline Your Vampire!? What let me see what this is all about...In How to Discipline Your Vampire we read the story of Cerise and William. Cerise is a Dome ! This was exciting to read because I have never read a story where the female was in control. William well he can be anything and everything you want him to be. Oh, and did I mention he's a vampire? Yep. It's not titled How to Discipline Your Vampire for nothing.Cerise is looking for a new submissive and this lady is picky! Cerise really needs a Dr. Phil/ Michael Baisden intervention because her list of "do's and don'ts" for her subs is a little neurotic. While reading I literally was saying to myself , "And you wonder why you don't have a sub." Cerise preliminary requirements are'nt anything over the top but she's just a little annoying with it.  Cerise will not make my list of favorite heroine characters at all. I am not sure if she really is a good representation of what a Dome is. She was very emotional and at times made irrational decisions. As annoying as her list and requirements were this showed the importance of communication and limits are in contract BDSM relationships.Who does she pick to be her sub? William LOL this is kind of funny because William has a non referral rap sheet and is not popular among other Domes. However Cerise, "the picky Dome" gives him the green light .I was really nervous about how I would, feel about William. I do not like weak characters but especially a weak man. So reading a book that had a male submissive I was expecting him to be the biggest pushover ever! Thankfully the author didn't make WIlliam a pansy. Keep in mind he IS a vampire so he was sweet, romantic and very submissive. All he wants to do is serve Cerise and make sure that she is sexually satisfied and happy.This book took me a few days to read. I was expecting to devour it but there were times when the words just seemed to be words. The story would really pick up and get angsty and I would expect something to happen and then it wouldn't. There were also times when a scene would be over that it felt like something was missing but I couldn't pin point exactly what the something was. What I got from this book was reading about BDSM from a different stand point. It was also cool to see a vampire in a BDSM book! William being a Vampire really added character twist to this book.I mean who doesn't love a good vampire (#teamEdward, forever!)SMIBookClub received an ARC of Hot to Discipline Your Vampire from the publisher in exchange for an honest review-Laters, Juewelz xoSMIBookClub.com
