Truly Enjoyable

Revisado: 01-28-17

What made the experience of listening to To Serve Is Divine the most enjoyable?

When I was thinking of reviewing this book, I had to mentally prepare myself for it. Like I said, BDSM isn't my thing and it was right around the time when I was feeling particularly down on the romance genre because, let's face it, romance isn't romance anymore do I had just gone on a whole tangent to a friend of mine about how depressing that is to me.

BUT - surprisingly, I really enjoyed this story. Let me explain - While this books has HEAVY BDSM elements, because it is ROOTED into the BDSM world, there is also a romance that is true and strong that's weaved very well throughout the story - I really appreciated that. Another thing that is quite evident is that RE Hargrave knows her stuff. The story as thoroughly researched and that knowledge is peppered throughout the table in a way that is palatable to the reader. Some books you read and the author just throws things in to show how smart they are and that is quite annoying.

Lets talk the narrator - To be honest, I expected a man to read this story. I don't know why, but when I realize it was a woman, I was a little skeptical but holy smokes Holly Jackson! Her Irish and Texan accents were spot on and so amazing! The tone in her voice the way she read the love scenes - Lord have mercy! I kept looking around to make sure my volume wasn't too high and that no one around me couldn't hear. Holly is amazing.

The characters in To Serve is Divine are wholesome and true to theTo Serve Is Divine Audiobook way of life in the BDSM. But they also have an added little quirk that had me smiling sometimes or laughing out loud during other time.

Jayden is just sexy as hell. From the authority he uses throughout his life, to the way he treats Catherine inside and outside the play room or when they are in a scene. From the contract he designs for Catherine to the way he talks to her, the way he looks at her, I could tell this guy is a good one. He's all tough and DOM sexy but when it comes to his Jewel, he'd burn the world to the ground. I felt Jayden's concern for Catherine, his slow turmoil about if he can actually be good for her.


Catherine-oh lawd-what can I say about her? First her Irish accent is darling. She is one of those females who has have to learn her worth the hard way. Though she is a submissive, she is strangely independent but knows when she needs to draw strength from her DOM.

The secondary characters all had purpose. I am a HUGE fan of secondary characters because they lend some realness to the main characters. In this story, they all lend a brilliant air of authenticity to the tale.

Yes, there are a couple of things that made me cringe - because well, it's BDSM and there are toys and actions within these pages that aren't things I would actually participate in - But I understand why they were necessary for the story and the genre to make it real.

Bottom line is this (And I swear I never thought I'd say this about any BDSM story but here it is) RE Hargrave has a winner on her hands. To Serve is Divine is a love story about two people trying to find their place in a world that can often time turn ugly. It is lesson of being careful who you trust and knowing when to extend trust. It is a tale of crashing and burning then being strong enough to stand up and give the world two middle fingers way up. But most importantly, it is a well spun tale that is enjoyable to read or in this case, listen to.

What did you like best about this story?

That photoshoot - whew...I could barely breathe. And Holly Jackson's accent ability - Epic!

Have you listened to any of Hollie Jackson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No. But I will check her out after this.
