Dom of Las Vegas

Sin City, Book 1

By: Tricia Owens

Narrated by: Nick J. Russo

Ethan Winter has known since he was a kid that he wants to work for the FBI. Until then, he's stuck modeling underwear and photographing cheating spouses for a private investigator. But when a trip to Las Vegas for a security conference brings him into contact with the magnificently dominant Maxmillian Poole, Ethan finds himself faced with a dilemma: pursue his childhood dream, or become the partner of a man who seems to know him inside and out - and who offers a life any submissive would crawl for.

was hoping for more

I was really hoping to like this book, but it fell flat for me. Narration was okay I guess, but not great. I felt that there was not much depth to the story and while the scenes could have been hot, I think the narration took away from them and I left this book feeling like it was a bit bland.

Audio version only enhances the characters

Tricia Owens is already one of my favorite authors as she knows how to develop likable characters. In fact, it is hard not become truly become attached to her characters in her books. The main characters in the Dom series, Ethan and Max, are no different. What I especially liked about this audio version of Dom of Las Vegas was that I really got to know the character of Ethan. Listening to the story instead of reading helped me to understand who he is and what motives him. Honestly, I have read the book twice already but listening helped me to slow down and really enjoy. I loved how Nick J. Russo, the narrator, was able to give each character different voices - I never had a doubt about who was speaking and each voice really “fit” the individual characters as well. I have listened to other audio books and it is hard to find one that does this well. Russo and Owens make a great team! In fact, I've looked for other books narrated by Russo. The only downside was a technical issue, I think. Sometimes the volume or intensity of Russo’s voice changed mid-sentence. It seemed like the producers were unable to match the quality of the sound consistently. This has nothing to do with Owens’ writing nor did it take away the enjoyment of the book. I highly recommend this audio book and hope there are plans for audio versions of the whole series!

I received a free audio copy of this book in exchange for a review.

Great Series

I have read all 10 books in this series and listening to it in audible has been a pleasure. Nick Russo has brought life to Max and Ethan's characters. I definitely recommend listening to see what Max and Ethan can get into in Sin City.

Great start to a series

This is a great start to a romance with bdsm thrown in. When Ethans plans for his life that fall apart, Maximilian is there to save him. Maximilian gives him a hedonistic lifeline to a new career as a bodyguard.
Trica Owen's series is great. I recommend them all. I hope the entire series ends up on audible.

Excellent start to the series

Any additional comments?

The audio is so much better than the ebook. Nick Russo did an amazing job. He made each of the characters very destinced. the audio book was so much better than the ebook. I only have an issue that Ethan is called a blond. That so really bothers me. Other than that the story is pretty awesome. They are really starting to care for each other. I can't wait to read the rest of the books!!!
