I loved this book! I read the first chapter and was hooked! I loved how you portrayed the characters, and even without knowing anything about them, I liked them right away, and that didn't change throughout the book. Great character development, all of them! I love your writing style. It is easy to read, it flows nicely, great dialogue! It needs a little editing, but there was nothing too major that it bothered me.
I've read the book before I read your help request, but I saw your author's notes about showing instead of telling. I'm struggling with that as well, so I'm no help with that. But I didn't notice anything, partly because I was so into the story. And I never felt like you were over-explaining. At some point, though, I skipped the author's notes ;)
I have no idea about the BDSM community, but I do hope it is like you described it. I loved the respect your characters showed, and that example of how it shouldn't be done was well executed in my eyes. I loved the emotions you conveyed (you see, I'm using that word a lot ;) ), and this book went straight on the list of my favorite reads! I will definitely read the prequel! Great job!

I don't have a lot to give as far as feedback here because I've discussed the book privately with the author and I've given suggestions via comments. I love the book, especially Lani and Jacob. My biggest suggestion was to not hold back. The reader likes the background information and drama. Explaining events in detail makes them connect with the character's emotions connected to the event and you don't have to worry about getting gritty at times.
I have also suggested that this book be situated as book two, once what was supposed to be the prequel is finished. I think that will help the readers connect to the characters even more if read in that order. In all though, I found it easy to binge read this story and I love the author's clear and concise way of storytelling. She describes exactly what is necessary and important without bogging down the story with unnecessary information.
The pacing is good and the spicy scenes are well done. The author knows she's found a fan in me.

The Will to Serve is about Luna, a sub, and her dom, Jacob. A former dom has come into the picture to stir up old emotions in Luna to which Jacob must deal with. This is what I think the story is about. Going into the story I didn't expect to become so engrossed in this story as fast as I did. The writing style is really good like it's easy to read through. The flow was on point. The characters were believable though I will be reading further to find out more about Luna as her story does interest me. I'm curious about her past. The author was on point with the characters and the descriptions. In my opinion, she does a good job with storytelling. I thought there was a perfect mix of showing and telling. From the few chapters I read, I will definitely be checking out more from this author.
