About this listen

Former Marine Sebastien DeLuca is the owner of a martial arts dojang and a dominant in the BDSM lifestyle. He's living out his dream career and doing it while happily single...until she crashes into his life.

Mackenzie Malone is trying to overcome her tumultuous history with men any way she can and decides studying martial arts will give her the confidence, strength, and self-discipline she needs. That is, if she can stand up to her instructor's arrogance.

He has to have her. She can't stand him. He may be the man she needs to free her from her demons, but can she stop fighting him long enough to find out?

An Unexpected Match is a BDSM romance set in modern day fictional New York City.

Warning: (Stop reading if you don't like content warnings.) This audiobook contains graphic sexual content and violence against women including a single fade-to-black scene. There is a guide in the audiobook to skip this content should you decide to listen to it.

Mack had a crap ton of baggage, and I think she'd have benefited from intense therapy before taking on bdsm. That said, the two main characters seemed to have a connection and insta attraction from the start that got stronger as the trust factor increased. I enjoyed it. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job bringing it to life.

While this story is centered around the BDSM lifestyle, it is so very much more. Mackenzie Malone has been let down by every man she has ever been involved with. She has been abused, taken advantage of, betrayed and made to feel undeserving, worthless and useless. She has a lot of, well lets just say unresolved anger. Sebastian DeLuca is a good man, a former marine, the owner of a martial arts dojang and a sexual dominant. He can also on occasion come across as the south end of a north bound mule. When the stars align to unite these two, it’s pure magic and so worthy of a listen. Beautifully written and narrated, this one has all the feels, humor, a bit of angst, tears and heart soaring joy. I absolutely loved it!

A powerful BDSM story with the focus on love.

I really enjoyed the interaction between Sesbastian and Mackenzie - they had a true connection in martial arts and romance. I love when I listen to a book by one narrator but I can see both male & female characters clearly, Jeffrey Holz did a great job with this. I liked that it was set in NYC because it made some of the settings very real to me (I used to work there). Overall very good story line and narration. I would definitely follow this if it became a series.

A lot of BDSM stories concentrate heavily on the kinky sex. I liked that Sebastian and Mackenzie had good backgrounds and you can actually tell they cared for each other.

I would’ve like an epilogue to find out more about how their relationship evolved, but it was all still sweet with just enough heat
