Publisher's summary

Brent had fallen for the one Dom he couldn't have.

Brent's legendary bad luck when it came to men was undeniable. If there was a wanna-be Dom in a hundred miles, he found them. But even he couldn't have predicted what would happen next. Mixed signals and too much time off won't make it any better, or will it?

Calen had fallen for the one sub he couldn't have.

Calen knew most considered him the seen-them-and-leave-them type of Dom, but how could he stay when he knew they wouldn't understand? When you're a Dom who doesn't match up to stereotypes, can you ever find the right submissive?

This 38,000-word story contains M/m sexual content and BDSM elements. The Bound & Controlled series follows four brothers who are each involved in the BDSM lifestyle in some way as they look for love. Each book features a different brother, but the books are best heard in order. The books are not taboo in nature.

perfect

kennethi obi did it again.. oh man he gets each of the characters spot on.. this story is of course amazing because shaw is amazing.. the narrator is perfect and i loved it so much!

Brent

I love the fact that these stories deal with the emotional aspect of the lifestyle, and not just the physical part. While I enjoy a racy book, I have to have an emotional connection to the characters. I think Shaw really did a great job making me fall in love with Brent and Calen. I like Calen’s vulnerability, and I was so thrilled that there were no secrets kept in this book, that Calen was up front about who he is and what he wants. His fun, teasing personality is just what Brent responds to.
Narration: Kenneth’s portrayal of Brent and Calen is just…wow. The deep timber of Brent’s voice, the sexy slide of Calen’s just draw me into a story I already loved. And I just melt when Calen calls Brent subbie. There is nothing that brought me out of the story performance-wise and I really enjoyed the book, and Kenneth’s superb voice acting.

sweet D/S story

A great story but wished it was a little longer. Loved the friends to lovers story line and thought the MC messed well together and that it was a little different take to the D/S relationship. I enjoyed every minute of this syory!

Perfect fit

I really enjoyed this audiobook. In the previous book Calen didn't seem like he took things seriously or that he might be flighty or undependable. That wasn't the case in this book and for that I'm really grateful. I think some of the concerns Calen carried around may have affected how he was behaving and I liked how those worries were handled.

I think Brent needed someone exactly like Calen to really get all the parts of Brent. Someone else wouldn't have offered Brent everything that Calen did and it gave them both exactly what that both needed in a partner. Their story was the right amount of friends to lovers sweet meets hot sexy Dom/submissive.

I liked that we got a chance to visit some of Brent's brothers and see how they're doing. I look forward to the next book and highly recommend this series.

I received a copy of this audiobook but this is my honest review.

friends to lovers despite 3 brothers

I really enjoyed this book. It was engaging and complete while still being a nice quick read. The narrator's voice enhances the story telling, and I loved how he read for Brent.
I also really appreciated how the relationship between the two men grew and developed even with all Brent's brothers around! Very excited to read the next 2 books in this series!

Brent, Bound & Controlled 2

While this was not my favorite book by Shaw, I really did still like this one. I almost kind of feel like I was listening to a True Account story of a Dom (Calen) and a Sub (Brent) finding their ground together in a new relationship and I didn't feel like I was listening to just a Fictional story.
This book had a really long slow burn of a buildup and you get to actually "know the couple" as they learn each others quirks, kinks, likes and dislikes, all before they got into any actual scenes, which I think was a really good thing for this couple in particular. They needed that extra time to secure their relationship together, since they are not the "norm" when it comes to D/S partnership and they both had some reservations and insecurities. This story was definitely on the lighter side of BDSM, if you are looking for some extreme scenes your not going to get it with this book, its on the sweeter side of the spectrum.
Audio - I have to say.... The Audio did kind of throw me off at first. Only because Calen and Brent don't have the normal roles that you would typically see in D/S relationships. And Kenneth really made that clear in the narration for the two men. Brent the Sub had a deeper Gruffer more gravelly voice and Calen the Dom had a more soft spoken, lighter voice. But Kenneth put a good amount of emotion in where it was needed for the roles of every character in the story and he's becoming one of my more favorite narrators. Great job with this one and I look forward to the next book in the series.

Love it

So in love with this series. Cant wait for the rest of the books to be on audio.
Kenneth Obi is doing a fantastic job giving these books life in sound.

Brent
