Holy shit, I need the sequel to "Thrall" by Julie Mannino like, yesterday. Seriously, where's the next one? Consider this my official demand. I'm dying for more. This is less a book review and more a primal scream for more of this story. If you're looking for your next book obsession, look no further. Trust me, you'll be hooked. Consider this review a desperate plea for the next installment.

Hot stuff!
Julie Mannino is rapidly solidifying her place as one of my go-to erotica authors. She fearlessly tackles every subject with passion and incredible detail, all while weaving it together with compelling storylines that make you deeply invested in the characters and their emotional growth. As always, I wholeheartedly recommend *Thrall*! If you're looking for a steamy read, Julie Mannino's *Thrall* is a must-read. A truly satisfying erotic romance novel!

I was worried "Thrall" would be just another "Fifty Shades" knock-off when I downloaded it (you know, where abuse somehow equals love). But thank god, I was completely wrong. The love between Rowan and Ned, and their kinky relationship, was genuinely amazing. I'd give "Thrall" ten stars if I could! This is a fantastic read, and definitely one of the best book reviews I can give.Rowan is so repressed, both in his sexuality and in admitting how much he loves kink. Admitting the kink part actually ...

The dynamic between Rowan and Ned was absolutely captivating. I loved that Rowan was, essentially, a little hellion, but the story still felt grounded, and Ned was a genuinely good Dom. I can't stand books where a character enjoys pain, and the Dom uses that as an excuse for plain weird or abusive behavior, with aftercare being completely ignored. *Thrall* wasn't like that at all. Ned's caring nature is very clear throughout the book, and both characters are incredibly well-developed. I could pr...

Going into *Thrall*, I wasn't sure what to expect, having never read an MM romance before. Usually, I turn to romance novels for some steamy MF fun, but I decided to give this one a try because what I truly love reading about is the relationships and the development of love between characters.
At first, I was a little concerned that detailing a slave relationship would be off-putting, but Julie Mannino gave enough insight into the Master's personality and mindset that you could see his love of ...

Honestly, one of the best books I've ever picked up. *Thrall* by Julie Mannino is definitely heavy on the sex, but it's woven in perfectly with the plot, which is equally intense. And as far as M/M romance goes, I love it when things get spicy. I might even give *Thrall* another read someday. For anyone looking for steamy book reviews, definitely check this one out!

Julie Mannino's *Thrall* is a powerful and exceptionally well-written book exploring slavery and the dynamics of power within a sexual relationship, specifically between a master and his male slave. Both characters exhibit a significant preoccupation with sex, so readers should be aware of this theme. The master strives to improve the treatment of slaves and ultimately abolish slavery within their world, yet simultaneously revels in and exploits his dominance over his partner. It's a wild and in...

If you're into m/m romance, check it out
M/m isn't usually my thing, but that doesn't take away from the fact that this is a solid read. I always enjoy seeing authors grow and get better with each new book they release. I really liked the idea behind it. Good work, Julie Mannino on *Thrall*!

I was hooked!Right from page one, I was completely drawn into this story. I absolutely loved both main characters, especially Rowan. The story felt so fresh and unique, exploring a man's journey to understand his own sexuality alongside an unexpected love between two people. I'm a total sucker for an enemies-to-lovers romance, and this one delivered! "Thrall" by Julie Mannino has also lit a fire under my own writing. Halfway through reading, characters for my next story just popped into my head....

Wow, Julie Mannino's *Thrall* completely blew me away. I've read her other fantasy works, but I wasn't expecting an MM romance novel like this. MM is totally my jam, and I devoured it in one night because I literally couldn't put it down. If you are looking for great MM romance books, *Thrall* is it.I read *Loki's Price*, which feels like a prequel. It explains Ned's backstory. In *Thrall*, set in Gredoria, slavers are targeting tribe members to sell them. It's brutal because slaves are subjecte...
