I advice that before you read Training Drew you read Five Weeks in December (Tied&Twisted;, #1) and get the insights as to where all the characters are from, how they all first meet and their playing headquarters, Twisted&Tied.;Drusilla Minolla aka Drew describes Sebastian Falk aka Bas as a Viking. All I kept thiking about was the TV show. So what better way than to have a mental eye candy image of Bas as Ragnal (Travis Fimmel). Yes, that will do for me.As per Drew, well Bas says she’s petite and she even says that on a good day her boobs are B cup so I went with Rachel Bilson. She’s cute. I don’t always have an image of the characters in my head.Sebastian Falk, the Viking, is a Shibari expert. It can also be called Kinbaku and is a form of artistic rope bondage. You know he can make all those pretty lupes and designs with rope. Don’t second guess him. Bas is like the MacGuyver of bondage. You never know what he’s going to come up with next.“Do you leave me tied up?”“Sometimes. It can be a form of punishment. It can be a form of reward. It can be a very special brand of torture or it can be the most sublime pleasure and ecstacy you’ve ever experienced.”Drew was brought to Twisted&Tied; by her former Dom/Boyfriend/Play Partner, Chad. Looser!! I guess there was no label on their relationship but you could tell right away that Chad thought he was the one in control. He was supposed to auction her up to be sold in an auction he thought he had rigged and it was all going to go his way. Little did he know there are people with higher powers and friends in all kinds of places. Apparently Chad doesn’t fall in the “friendly” zone.  Not only is Twisted&Tied; Bas’ playing headquarters, but he is close to the owner and his friends are also members there. They’ve been keeping their eyes out on Chad for an inccident that starts of in Book 1. They don’t think he is the right Dom for anyone and Bas specially feels he is not the right Dom for Drew. He doesn’t tell her rigth away, but he watched a play scene between her and Chad go wrong. Wax Play.“Because the whole point of tonight was that I wanted to…experience what it was like. To belong to someone. Be…owned.”The idiot Dom that Chad is burns her and of course Drew is scared and has no trust. Bas sets up to buy her off from this auction and train her to at least find herself in the BDSM world or at least that she would have the knowledge to pick the right Dom. He wants to teach her the sensual and pleasure part of BDSM she has been missing out on and is curious to find out about. I laugh because he calls her litle one (My Priest) and sets out all these rules and regulations for her to learn and what he’s learning and realizing is that he’s sort of training himself too. He thought this was supposed to be a way for him to help Drew, you know, no strings attached. He can help her find the right Dom. Sure Bas. Keep telling yoursef that. I was just hoping he was able to train such a lost case. I had very little and no hope for Drew.“Dominance and submission is a two way street. Without your submission, I can’t dominate you. Without my dominance, you have nothing to submit to. We need each other, little one.”If you’re looking for a soft, erotic, BDSM read, these books are for you. It focuses more on the training, the need, pleasure, wants of somone curious to the lifestyle.  What to expect when being trained by the right Dom. Or is he? Is she a sub? Can she submit to what he’s going to demand out of her? It’s a real fun series. Harry and December from Book 1 are hard to top for me. Not putting Bas and Drew down because both couples are into different types of play which made it even more fun. You’re going to love the characters. Let me tell you about the sex in these stories. Hot, very Hot. To the point where I was wondering if the peope around me while I was reading could tell what I was reading. I felt myself blushing and my ears turning warm and red. No need to clench your thighs, that won’t help. I love it when a story makes me feel as if I was part of the moment. Boy would I love to trade places with Drew. Probably even December. I highly recommend it to my kinky, BDSM BookWhores.  Raphe story is next and I’m hoping I’m an early reader for that story too. Look out Blue Kincaid…I’m coming for you. Happy Readings!!"I can put you however I want you, pin you and restrain you with or without rope. You’re at my mercy, little Drusilla. I like that very much.”
