About this ebook

Can he convince the girl from his past to become his future?

Ever since Michael Waverly joined Stronghold and recognized Ellie Sanders he's wanted to scene with her, but over time it's turned into something more than that and he knows one scene just won't satisfy him. Unfortunately, she's been avoiding him and she has a reputation for never doing more than playing at the club - no commitments. 

Now, for the first time, her defenses seem to be down and she's giving him a chance - but while she's willing to sign a club contract with him, will she ever be willing to open her heart?

Ellie is so full of secrets sometimes she feels like that's all she's made of - all the things she doesn't want other people to know about her. The person she's most afraid of revealing all of her secrets to is Michael - her one-time protector and crush in high school, now grown into a devastatingly attractive sadist at Stronghold. She wants to play with him. More than that, she wants to know if maybe she has a chance for a normal relationship with him... the first man in a long time that she's both trusted and been attracted to. Unfortunately for Ellie, normal has always been out of her reach. The most important secret of all is the one she's keeping from everyone, especially Michael, because there's no way he'd ever want her if he knew the truth. 

But communication is everything in a relationship like this and Michael's determined to strip back all of Ellie's defenses and claim her as his own... with a determined Dom like that, what chance does a scared subbie have of keeping her secrets?

A friends to lovers, blast from the past, second chance romance.

Ratings and reviews

Michael is a newish member of the Stronghold group who we haven't seen much of so far so I am glad to see his romance story. I also like that it gives Ellie her happily ever after so Andrew doesn't have to feel guilty about letting down either her or Kate. This is also a wonderful story about healing from trauma and how even years later women and the men who care about them can blame themselves for bad situations they find themselves in. All woven in with how love and friendship can help heal

5 Star Review Stripping The Submissive (Stronghold Doms # 6) by Golden Angel Audio Review I thoroughly enjoyed this story about Dom, Michael Waverly, a sadist and the woman he has never forgotten, Ellie Sanders, a masochist. The narrator did a good job but I did feel that the male character voices were not as strong as the female ones. This book packed an awful lot into it. I really liked Michael and Ellie, both as individuals and as a couple. I felt their connection and the chemistry between the two of them is scorchingly hot. However Stripping the Submissive is so much more than just a steamy book, it has a great depth to it. Ellie’s journey as she struggles to come to terms with her past was at times heart breaking. It was great to see how Michael handled Ellie’s doubts and insecurities as she wrestled with the past and how it had impacted her life and relationships around her. Will Michael be able to break down the barriers that Ellie has erected and in turn, help her to overcome her past and to take a chance on a future together? As a Dom, Michael knows that the key to any relationship, particularly a BDSM one is communication and trust, but will Ellie have the strength to share with Michael the truth of her past or will her secret remain between them and in doing so destroy the trust that has built between them? This has fast become one of my favourite series, although I have only listened to a couple of them, I had no trouble following book 6 and hopefully I get a chance to listen to or read the other books in the series.

I've been following "The Stronghold Doms" series and this one was a dual-edged sword for me. Michael and Ellie's story both broke my heart and melted it. These two have a history going back to high school. But as life happens, people go their own way and circumstances change causing new life experiences; not all of them good. Golden Angel has taken one of those life experiences, brought it and it's consequences into my life. Not just to read but to experience the repercussions. Each person deals with things differently but this author has taken something so vile and turned it into a learning experience. Not only for Ellie and Michael as they try to grow through it but ultimately for this reader. What a beautiful story.
