Publisher's summary

"I like you collared, baby. I like you naked, I like you mine."

Ellie Stevens has lusted over Kayne Roberts since he first walked into the import/export company she works for a little over a year ago. As Expo's most important client, Ellie has always kept a safe distance from the man with the majestic blue eyes - until temptation finally gets the better of her. Impulsively, Ellie invites Kayne to one of Expo's infamous company parties her flamboyant boss is notorious for throwing. Unbeknownst to Ellie, the god in the Armani suit isn't just the suave entrepreneur he portrays himself to be. Underneath the professional exterior is a man with a secret life, dark desires, and nefarious contacts.

In a hidden corner of a trendy New York City lounge, the spark kindling between the two of them ignites. Unable to resist the sinful attraction, Ellie agrees to leave with Kayne, believing she is finally bedding the man of her dreams. Little does she know when she walks out the door, she's about to be Owned.

Content warning: Owned is a dark erotic romance. Please pay close attention to the use of the words dark, erotic, and romance. It has intense sexual situations, a Master/slave relationship, mild abuse, and some violence. Listener discretion is advised.

Dark and seductive

Ellie is just getting ready to start her life, but due to an extreme situation she is now owned by Kayne. Despite her initial fighting of the situation, she falls in step and she falls in love. But things aren’t as they seem and the mystery behind the man that is controlling her comes to light.

This book was crazy intense. Probably 70% dark and dominant sex, 30% dark and depraved storyline. I’m not mad about it though. It was hot and not repetitive, completely unique from one scene to the next and also the chemistry and the progression of chemistry between the characters was palpable. I loved it. I couldn’t turn it off. I absolutely can’t wait to turn on the next one.

Sam Crowley and Muffy Newtown were brilliant. They brought reality to an invented story

Great Story & Listen🎧 Intense, Dark & Twisted!

Wow, this is one intense, dark & twisted story! It is well written, well told and captivating from start to end. The storylines and characters are interesting and well developed. Ellie has a bright future a head of her and will be heading to college soon. She invites Kayne, a clients of the firm she works for to a party. He shows up but things do not go as plan. He winds up taking her into his worlds, as a captive with intensions of making her his obedient sex slave. He is involved with some vicious people who operate in a criminal world, where there is trafficking, sex slaves and drugs. This is a heart wrenching story with drama, angst, action and twists, in addition to BDsM scenes. I loved t how the story built up to the climatic end, also loved Jett. I am looking forward to the rest of the series. M. Never, thanks for the great story.

I listened to the Audible edition, narrated by the talented Sam Crowley and Muffy Newton. They are awesome voice performers and entertaining storyteller. They bring the characters to life, give them their voices and personality. Thank you for this great listen🎧

It’s dark

Yea this is dark and kinda rapey
I’ve read a lot of dark stories. This one does draw the line of consent, things may not be all they seem, but it’s a story to live and you may or may not feel okay with all of it. Even at the end.

Definitely dark and different but worth it!!!

loved it!! I've listened to a ton of non-con BDSM sort of stories and this falls in that category but the ending will enlighten you to an entire different reason!!! it's totally hot and will melt your core so if your into those kinds of stories this is for you!!!!!!!!!!

LOVED IT

I'm more into Paranormal BDSM books, so to say I had high hopes would be a lie. Blew me away. Very not expected to enjoy but I sooo did. and love the twist. Sadly its part 1. So cliffhanger but will probably be worth it.

Lawwwd

I listened to this book several month back and forgot to write a review until I listened to the 2nd book the other day. So you know I had to go back and re-listen. And I loved it more the 2nd time around. Caine & Ellie- where to being?

Ellie is young and has to hots for a smoking hot Caine. Caine is this dude with secrets and surprises the spunky girl with his kinky expectations after he kidnaps her. He didn’t break her with his expectations but he did with his <insert spoiler here...NOPE>. You’ll have to read or listen to the book to know more.

Caine is more than he seems and I loved every moment of this book. Ellie’s discovery of herself and him was a wild ride. Oh and the narrators ...GEEZ!! Hawttt doesn’t come close to hotty hotness of the heat in the book. Yum!!
