Sally's Reviews > This is Knot DomCon ~ Book Three

A quick recap for those who missed my review of the first two books in the trilogy. This series is like the definitive comic book crossover/team-up of the erotica genre, with B.J. Frazier bringing in characters from A Domme for Christmas, the Eli series, Perchance to Dream, The Service Sub, Mistress Managed, and others, to explore DomCon (a very real BDSM/femdom convention) through a fictionalized story. You don’t need to be a fan to enjoy this, but regular readers will enjoy seeing what their favorite characters are up to.

While the first book was mostly an introduction, giving the characters a reason to attend and introducing them to one another, and the second delved deeper into the relationships, the kinks, the fantasies, and (oh, yes) the drama, this concluding volume brings it all together for a finale that’s both intelligent and erotic.

If you’ve been reading along, then you know the second book ended on quite the cliffhanger, with one of the Dommes being arrested on false charges. Book Three doesn’t waste any time addressing that injustice, but lest you think it’s over all too quickly, there are still two dark bits of drama still to be resolved here, and they are a driving force behind this chapter.

Before I get to them, however, I want to talk to two of the femdom subplots that I think were absolutely marvelous. One sees a fledgling Domme being trained in how to give her submissive what she wants, and that includes understanding how differently they experience pain. There’s a lot of awkwardness there, including a bad habit of confronting tension with laughter, which breaks the scene. The other sees an inexperienced couple wanting to experiment with FLR without spending heavily on toys and equipment, which leads to a wonderful trip to the kitchen aisle of a dollar store. There’s a language barrier involved, but it’s handled so beautifully well, making it a part of the story.

As for the drama I mentioned, it’s all mixed up in past abuse, social media censorship, unsanctioned cruelty, and generally reprehensible behavior. What makes this final volume so compelling is the heaviness of that drama and the breaking of protocol involved in seeking retribution, with B.J. Frazier wisely leaving it to the reader and the characters to determine whether the end can justify the means. Even as a reader who trusts B.J. implicitly, some of those actions made me uncomfortable, but I was completely satisfied with how it was handled, especially with a final comment about the difference between professional and personal betrayal.

Rest assured, This is Knot DomCon is a story with a happy ending, and there are a lot of exciting BDSM scenes to be explored here, along with some wonderful relationships between Dommes, submissives, spouses, and sometimes more. As I said earlier, it’s smart as well as sexy, and if you don’t learn something about the law, finance, or professional ethics, then you’re simply not paying attention.
