About this listen

"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.

If dark and twisted is not for you, don’t read. I gasped, screamed, laughed and OMG’d so many times my husband needed to know what I was listening to. Ellie and Kane are my favorite dark couple. From the punishments to the pleasures I was all in. Ellie wavering back and forth on how she feels about what’s happening, Kane pushing and pulling her to the BDSM lifestyle was amazing. I felt just as confused as she did in the beginning and by the end I just wanted Kane to hold her and keep her safe, even-though he is the reason for all her pain. Crazy crazy, I’ve listened to certain chapters too many times because the narrators bring you in.

Love this story. Narrators got it right - FINALLY

Loved, loved, loved this book so hard!

OWNED, the scintillating first installment in Decadence After Dark by M. Never, was dangerous and seductive, shockingly twisty, deliciously depraved and OMG the erotic encounters were HOT, HOT HOT!!

However the trigger warning should DEFINITELY be heeded. This is DARK erotic romance with many dubious/non consent slave training scenes that may not be for the faint of heart, but as a dark romance aficionado, they definitely pushed all the right buttons in ME! Although admittedly the scenario these characters were embroiled in was indeed disturbing and all kinds of twisted, the emotions GUTTED me and I found the kinky interludes incredibly titillating! And, ultimately, I willing embarked on Kayne and Ellie’s dark, tumultuous journey because the writing was so entrancing, and the brilliantly woven storyline incredibly layered and thrillingly evocative.

These characters were GORGEOUSLY crafted--fascinatingly complex and exquisitely nuanced, and the blazing hot chemistry that ignited between this beautiful, heartbreakingly vulnerable slave and her stern, ferociously dominant and uber protective master positively smoldered!! Ellie’s bravery in particular was incredibly astonishing! Her ability to survive the unthinkable, and adapt to her humiliating and utterly terrifying predicament with the utmost STRENGTH, DIGNITY and GRACE was a true revelation.

As for Ellie’s cruel, formidable owner, although Kayne was an enigma throughout, and at times I LOATHED him as much as I loved him, I was unashamedly drawn to his potent animal magnetism, his take no prisoners persona and his fierce possessiveness! And as his hard outer layers were slowly peeled away, I relished getting rare glimpses of his gruff tenderness and dark, tortured soul. And yes, there was INDEED a noble heart lurking inside his steely shield of armor! For even at his worst, I truly felt his inner demons down to my morrow!

Oh and if you enjoy a dark erotic page turner that has you biting your nails and keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout, then this is definitely the book for you! There is palpable drama and spine-chilling suspense from start to finish, all culminating in a shattering crescendo. And…eep… as far as cliffy’s go, I thought this one was SPECTACULAR!

As for the listening experience, it was FANFREAKINGTASTIC and I was a “captive” audience from start to finish. The narrators, Sam Crowley and Muffy Newtown, absolutely NAILED their performances of Ellie and Kayne. Infusing them with such pain and passion, soul deep integrity and blistering emotions, they truly brought M. Never’s unforgettable characters to flesh and blood life for me! I felt every gasp, every kiss, every cold cruel command, every passion-drenched plea, and every agonizing tear down to my core. And I absolutely loved Kayne’s cohort and Ellie’s new bff, Jett too!

A DECADENT start to this exhilarating dark erotic romance series!

RAPTUROUS DARK EROTICA AT ITS BEST !
