The Submission of Theodora by Siobhan Daiko



Title: The Submission Of Theodora
Author: Siobhan Daiko 
Genre: Erotic Romance 






It’s not every day a girl gets to meet the most powerful man in the world – but it’s not every girl that’s deemed useful. I’ve been deemed useful to the heir apparent to the Roman Emperor!
My skin prickles with awareness of him. 
His hips form a perfect V; his chest seems forged from iron. 
I long to touch him. 
I long to be possessed by him. 
I long to lose all sense of Theodora and be lost in Justinian. 
Crazy, impetuous, domineering Justinian. With each word he speaks, I drift deeper into the maelstrom of his mind.
They tell me he has unusual tastes. They tell me I must surrender to him. “But as a former courtesan  it’s usually been me in charge.”
But when his true plans for me reveal themselves, and the darkness in Justinian comes to the fore, he threatens my integrity… threatens my very spirit.
Will his darkness swallow me whole?
I’m about to find out.
***

ALPHA BOOK CLUB REVIEW

Title: The Submission of Theodora 

Series Name:  -

Author: Siobhan Daiko

Genre: Erotic

Overall Stars:  4 STARS

Historical

BDSM

For one used to being in control, she now must learn to give submission to a powerful 

man

It’s not every day a girl gets to meet the most powerful man in the world – but it’s not 

every girl that’s deemed USEFUL. I’ve been deemed USEFUL to the heir apparent to 

the Roman Emperor!

My skin prickles with awareness of him. 

His hips form a perfect V; his chest seems forged from iron.

I long to touch him.

I long to be possessed by him. I long to lose all sense of Theodora and be lost in 

Justinian. 

Crazy, impetuous, domineering Justinian. With each word he speaks, I drift deeper into 

the maelstrom of his mind. They tell me he has unusual tastes. They tell me I must 

surrender to him. But as a former courtesan, it’s mostly been ME in charge. I’ve given 

pleasure to many, secure in my own sensuality, except now THIS man, this beautiful, 

fascinating man is pushing me… changing me showing me the bittersweet pleasure in 

pain.

But when his true plans for me reveal themselves, and the darkness in Justinian comes 

to the fore, he threatens my integrity… threatens my very spirit.

Will his darkness swallow me whole?

I’m about to find out. (Amazon blurb)

Once again, history has surprised me: had any history reader told me there was a dark 

side to history novels where BDSM, alpha men and submission exist, I probably would 

have scoffed at the very idea. History is all about women on their back in missionary 

position and men spilling themselves in their wives, who were forbidden to enjoy the act. 

As I’ve mentioned, this is the second time I’ve been stripped of that notion by being 

shown the forbidden side – the side that since Fifty Shades of Grey written by E.L James 

has gotten darker and in such a demand by various types of individuals. Two worlds 

finally collide to please the diehard fans of history and the curious of the new sexual 

tendencies of 2014-2015 who refuse to put aside their preferences. I must admit, I was 

once a diehard fan of the history novels, however, they have changed in the past years, 

simply for different reasons, some being for having a similar plotline or the redundancy 

of certain areas; Siobhan Daiko brings the added spice needed in any historical novel 

making it decadent, forbidden and simply the perfect erotic partner any reader is looking 

for. Would I personally recommend this novel? Absolutely for any historical fan looking 

for the Fifty Shades of Grey twist.
